Chapter 5 – Fury

As they walked towards the bridge, Naruto had to support his newest lover, as she was finding it very hard to stay standing on her own two feet. "Are you going to be okay, Sakura-chan?"

The pinkette looked at Naruto and nodded with a happy smile on her face. Instead of saying anything to him, though, she turned her gaze to Naruko and said, "You were right. He screwed me so well that I can barely walk."

Naruko smirked at her and said, "Told you so. If I had a real body and wasn't stuck as a damn Shadow Clone, I'm 100% certain that I'd be like you are right now at least half of the time we've done it before. I can't wait to have a real body so I can be fucked senseless like that. It's going to be GREAT!"

Haku was blushing furiously at this point and decided to ask a question that was driving her insane since she and Naruko had found the lovers. "Sakura-san, aren't you worried that you could become pregnant after he, erm, came inside so many times?"

Sakura simply raised an eyebrow and smirked at Haku. "So? I'm 15 years-old and I'm free to make my own decisions. I want to have Naruto-sama's children. That's what I've decided. So if I'm pregnant, then I'm happy."

Naruko pouted and said, "Wish I could be the first to have his children, but I understand. I'll admit I'm pretty envious of you, Sakura-chan. Will you at least let me help raise them?"

The pinkette nodded and hugged Naruko close. "Of course Naruko-chan. And I'll even help look for a way to get you a real body. No matter what it takes, we'll get you your freedom. And tell you what, the rest of us will wait so you can be Naruto-sama's first wife. Okay?"

Before anyone could say anything, a cloud of smoke appeared next to them before dispersing a moment later. Standing there was Kushina, who threw her arms around Naruto and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Awww. And here I thought that honor could go to me." she teased.

Naruto blushed deeply and shouted, "M-Mom?! W-What're you talking about?!"

Sakura and Haku both blinked in shock at this, but Naruko was the one to beat them to the punch. "Mom? Don't tell me you have feelings for him too?"

Kushina smirked and nodded her head. "Of course I do sweetheart." Looking into Naruto's eyes, she leaned in and captured his lips with hers. "I was waiting my turn patiently, dropping subtle hints here and there, but it seems like subtlety wasn't the way to go. So I decided a more direct approach would be the right way to go about getting what I want." Frowning slightly, she looked at Sakura and Haku. "I want you two to be quiet about what you see and hear here. So you understand me?"

The two girls nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am." Immediately without a moment's hesitation.

"Good." Looking into Naruto's eyes, Kushina kissed him again before saying, "Naruto-kun, it's time to give me my a body again. I'm going to dispel this Shadow Clone and I want you to focus on using the holy aspect of your chakra. Focus on creating a real, living, breathing body of flesh and bone. Imagine muscle tissue, blood veins, a chakra network, everything that a real body has. Picture this body as mine. I'll share the details with you via mental imaging to make it easier on you. When you've got the image mapped out and you're ready, form this hand seal," Kushina said, showing him the proper hand seal to use, and said, "and call out, Holy Creation: Kushina Uzumaki, Kyuubi no Yoko. Do you understand me, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto nodded in understanding, but a frown tugged at his lips as he looked at Naruko. "But…couldn't we do this for Naruko-chan too?"

Kushina frowned and shook her head. "It's not quite as simple with Naruko-chan. She never had a body of her own before, so we'd have to work from scratch. It would take careful planning and we'd have to map everything out so we got absolutely EVERYTHING perfect. Otherwise, something could and most likely would go wrong. So right now, we're going to get me into a real body again so we can work together on getting Naruko-chan her own body next, okay sweetheart?"

Naruto nodded and said, "I understand Mom. Okay, let's do this."

Everyone watched as Kushina dispelled her Shadow Clone and went back into their beloved's body. Afterwards, he narrowed his eyes and began to focus on the area right in front of him, zoning out everything around him. Slowly forming the hand seal he had been shown, they could see as a faint outline of Kushina's body began to form. As it began to take shape, Naruto called out, "Holy Creation: Kushina Uzumaki, Kyuubi no Yoko!"

A bright flash of light suddenly shined in the forest, blinding everyone and forcing them to shield their eyes, lest they go blind. When it cleared and they managed to blink the spots out of their vision, they saw Kushina standing there in the flesh, admiring her body. They also saw that she was quite literally naked. Naruto, upon seeing this gorgeous sight, blushed badly and turned away. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't realize you'd appear without clothes!"

Kushina simply grinned at this and sauntered up to her son, throwing her arms around him and pressing herself against his back. Nibbling on his ear for a moment, she whispered, "Awww, does my big boy like what he saw? I bet he'd love to touch his mommy dearest, wouldn't he?"

Naruto blushed even worse, but before he could say anything in response, Naruko walked up and bopped her mother on the head. "Mom, seriously? Behave yourself! Go back to Tazuna's house and ask Tsunami-san for some clothes. Please?!"

Kushina sighed and nodded her head, but before she could release Naruto and leave, he reached up and grabbed her hand. "Wait, before you go, how did you know how to do that? I thought you were waiting on me to figure out some way to free you both?"

The redhead smiled kindly at him and turned him around, kissing his forehead. "Naruto-kun, you have to understand something about me. I absorbed the Kyuubi. Not only did I gain all of its powers, but all of its memories and its soul as well. It lived for a very, VERY long time. Therefore, it had memories from aaaages ago. It took forever to try and find the right dang memories, but I finally found some memories on the uses of holy chakra. One use in particular was what I had you use. It's similar to the principle that the Sage of Six Paths used to create the nine bijuu, but it's kinda different. It gets confusing, so don't ask. Even I don't understand how it all works. Just be happy that it does work. Now…" Taking Naruto's hand, she placed it on her breast and smirked when he gave it an experimental squeeze. "Ahhh, there we go."

Blushing furiously, Naruto removed his hand and backed away slightly, closing his eyes again. "M-Mom! Seriously, go get some clothes on!"

Kushina giggled mischievously before she turned and skipped off towards Tazuna's house, hiding her naked form with an illusion. Once she was out of sight, Haku spoke up. "Your mom is…interesting."

Naruko sighed and facepalmed. "She certainly knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. Our mom is definitely an interesting person, I'll grant you that. Enough on that though, we need to get to the bridge. We've wasted enough time already. I get the feeling Sasuke's not too happy."

Naruto frowned and nodded his head. "Naruko-chan's right. We should hurry." Everyone nodded in agreement as they hurried towards the unfinished bridge.

As they passed through the village, they heard screaming coming from up ahead, as well as a roar of unbridled rage. Hurrying up ahead, they saw Sasuke glaring heatedly at Genma, yelling incoherently at him for some time while pointing in the direction of Gato's body, which was hung suspended in the center of the village. As they approached, they saw Genma backhand Sasuke, sending him crashing to the ground hard. "That is ENOUGH Sasuke! I have had enough of your attitude!"

Rising to his feet, Sasuke glared hatefully at Genma, his Sharingan flaring to life as a result of his deep rage and desire to kill the man before him. "You gave the only part of this mission that was worthy of me to a bunch of worthless PEONS! I wasn't allowed to kill Zabuza! I wasn't allowed to take credit for his kill! You won't let me take his bitch! I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DO FUCKING ANYTHING AND I'M FUCKING SICK OF IT!" Turning towards a nearby child, he threw a kunai at him, a sadistic glint in his eyes. "I'll just take what I want from these people then! And then, when we're back in Konoha, the councils and that worthless Hokage will give me what I want! Haku will be mine. I'll break her like the weak-willed bitch she is. Nobody can resist me for long! This world will bow before the Uchiha clan! Everything rightfully belongs to the Uchiha and nobody can fucking stop us!" At this point, he devolved into maniacal laughter as he waited for the sound of a crying mother and the squelch that should have come from his kunai piercing the flesh of the little boy's throat.

When none of that happened, Sasuke's laughter died out and he looked in that direction to see Naruto standing there in the boy's place with the kunai caught between his fingers, a little bit of blood trickling down his fingers. He was glaring hatefully at Sasuke, as was everyone else in the area.

Looking around at all the villagers, the rest of his team and the various members of Team 8, he scowled and asked, "What? What the hell's your problem? You should all be bowing before me! I'm an Uchiha! An elite! I'm tired of being disrespected by you lowly MONKEYS! NOW BOW TO ME DAMMIT!"

Genma frowned when a number of the citizens began to bow submissively to him, as if they were in a trance. Seeing what was going on, he scowled and moved to strike Sasuke down, only for him to throw a kunai in his direction. Spitting his senbon at the kunai to knock it off target, he had to dodge out of the way of a fireball, watching as it hit a nearby building. "Shit!" Looking at Haku, he shouted out, "Can you put the fire out before it spreads?!"

Haku nodded. "On it! Just deal with the psychopath!" she exclaimed as she hurried off to put out the fire.

When the group went to disable Sasuke, he smirked and tossed all of his kunai and shuriken to the various citizens and gave them the mental command to pick them up and put them to their necks. "No. Stay back. If you want them to live, you're going to do things my way from now on. First off, I want that bitch of yours, Haku, to get her ass over here, on her knees before me. She should know what to do." he said with a sadistic smirk on his face.

Naruto scowled angrily and took a step towards him, only for Sasuke to give a mental command for one of the children to press the tip of a kunai into his throat hard enough to draw blood. "Damn you Sasuke! You won't get away with this!"

"Oh, but I will! You forget, that pathetic old fool you call the Hokage, the esteemed leader of Konoha, is pretty much the council's lapdog. What I say, they do and he obeys. When I say to jump, they all ask: how high? Face it dobe, they're in my pocket. I'm in control of the village itself! I can get away with literally fucking ANYTHING! You there, boy! Kill your mother!" Sasuke commanded and watched as a boy stabbed his mother repeatedly until she collapsed to the ground dead. Turning back to face Naruto, Sasuke grinned sadistically at him and said, "I can do anything I want, just like that, and nobody can do a damn thing to stop me! I can't be punished! I'm a GOD! Now, I think it's time I got rid of you too, Naruto Uzumaki. If you try to resist me, you know what will happen to these people, don't you?"

The whiskered teen scowled angrily, but didn't make a move as Sasuke drew ever closer. He didn't have to do anything, however, as his mother suddenly appeared behind Sasuke and ripped his head right off his shoulders before he could attack her son. Once all the people had been freed, they dropped the weapons they had been holding. The boy that had killed his mother looked at her horrified and began to cry hysterically as he shook her, trying to make her wake up. Naruko and Sakura went to help the poor boy through his loss. Genma, meanwhile, walked up to Sasuke's body and kicked it hard. "Goddammit! I'm not even going to ask how you're here, Kushina-sama. I'm just going to say this: thank you. If it wasn't for you…"

Kushina scowled hatefully as she used a fire jutsu to torch Sasuke's body. Looking at his head, she hesitated before she picked it up and sealed it away in a storage scroll after borrowing one from Naruto's things. "I'll decide what to do with this later." Glancing at her daughter, she smirked and nodded her head. "The Sharingan are a powerful tool, after all."

Genma looked at Naruko and nodded in understanding. "Understood. If you're going to do that, keep the eyes safe on your property somewhere where nobody can get to them. You know the councils and the Hokage will try to demand you give the eyes over to them, but I get the feeling you're going to tell them you don't give a shit. Right Kushina-sama?"

The redhead smirked at Genma and said, "Damn right! Now, how's everybody holding up?"

Naruto frowned and shook his head as he looked at the people of Wave. "Not well." he said simply.

Tazuna walked up with a fierce glare on his face and said, "I saw the whole damn thing. Why the hell did the Hokage send such a mentally unstable psychopath as part of my protection detail?! He just fucking killed somebody!"

Genma sighed and bowed to the old man. "You have my sincerest apologies, Tazuna-san. I…"

"No. I don't want to hear it. You've done your job. You protected me. You've even killed Gato and all of his thugs. I know I asked you to keep me safe while my bridge is built, but…" Looking past him at the people, he shook his head and said, "After what that little bastard just did…"

Naruto frowned before he walked over to the little boy and his deceased mother. Kneeling down, he placed his hands over her wound and began to focus on his holy chakra. "Please let this work…" he muttered quietly. After a while, her wound began to close and he shouted, "Restoration!"

As soon as the wound closed, the woman took in a big gasp of breath before she coughed and sputtered, flailing about for a moment before she looked Naruto in the eyes. Her eyes were wide for a time before she sat up and hugged him tight. "You…you saved me. Thank you. Thank you so much. I owe you my life! I owe you everything! What can I ever do to repay you?!"

Naruto was breathing heavily and was incredibly pale. Shaking his head, he simply smiled at her and gave her a weak thumbs-up. "N-Nothing. It…was m-my pleasure. Just be there…f-for your son."

Everyone looked worriedly at Naruto as he suddenly passed out. Rushing to his side, Haku did a preliminary exam and her eyes widened. "His chakra is dangerously low! Does anyone have any Military Rations Pills of any kind?!"

Kiba nodded and walked up, offering Haku a couple of his. "I usually keep them for myself and Akamaru, but you can have 'em. I may not like Naruto, but it's not like I want the guy to die or something."

Haku thanked him before feeding them to her new master, watching as the color slowly returned to his face. Smiling as she realized he was no longer in any danger, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank Kami. Thank you, Kiba-san."

The Inuzuka smirked at her and said, "If you really wanna thank me, maybe we can…"

The Ice Mistress deadpanned at him and said, "No."

Kiba slumped over and said, "Yeah, shoulda figured as much." before walking off with Akamaru following after him.

Kushina knelt down beside her son and rested his head on her lap. "My sweet son, you pushed yourself too hard. I'm proud of you, but you were far too reckless. What…what would I have done if you had perished because of your desire to save a life? I wouldn't be able to go on living without you…" Sighing softly, she began to run her fingers over his whisker marks and giggled as he began to purr. "You need to think about yourself and your health and safety more often sweetheart. You have far too many people that care about you now to do such reckless things."

The mother that he had saved frowned sadly and said, "I'm…I'm sorry. It's my fault…"

Kushina simply smiled at her and shook her head. "No, you did nothing wrong at all. The Uchiha is the one at fault here. Tell me, what's your name?"

The woman smiled and said, "I'm Retsu. Retsu Unohana. This is my son, Ushiro Unohana. I…I think I know of a way to repay your son for what he has done. I…may be a little old, and it may be…frowned upon, perhaps? But, I'm willing to pledge myself to him, body, heart, soul, everything. If he's willing to have someone like me. I can fight, but I'm more of a healer than anything. Would that be acceptable?"

The redhead blinked a couple of times as she tried to comprehend what the woman just said. After a moment had passed, she giggled a bit before nodding in agreement. "Sure, that sounds good to me. Thanks to certain problems back in the village we're from, he grew up without any real love, so he deserves a lot of love now to make up for it. So welcome to the Naruto Love-Love Train!" Kushina cheered.

Retsu giggled as she looked into Naruto's sleeping face. Leaning down, she pressed her lips to his and said, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Her son smiled happily as he looked between his mother and what he assumed to be his new father. His old father had died at the hands of Gato some time ago and he barely remembered the man.

Tazuna looked around at the other villagers and frowned before shaking his head and looking at Genma. "You and your friends can stay until the bridge is finished. Once it's done, I want you and your friends GONE. Do you understand me? You'll get the full pay for the mission, but there will be no trade agreements, no future business deals, no future missions from us, no alliance, NOTHING. The Uchiha burned that bridge. However, we will allow Zabuza to be buried properly in a special place where he will be watched after and protected. Finally, we'll name the bridge The Great Naruto Bridge, in honor of one of our country's heroes. Can we agree on that?"

Genma sighed, but nodded his head in understanding. "Understood, Tazuna-san. However, rather than punish the Land of Fire as a whole, can you just punish the village of Konohagakure instead? Speak with the Fire Daimyo about setting up trade agreements with him and his people. The people of the Land of Fire could make use of your goods. Konohagakure won't be able to benefit from anything your people make, but this way, the people of the Land of Fire as a whole wouldn't suffer as a result of Konohagakure's actions. Would that be acceptable?"

The old bridge builder frowned in thought for a few minutes before nodding. "I can't make any promises, but I'll discuss it with your daimyo. If he proves to be a good, respectable man that I can trust, I might make a deal with him. But I can't make any guarantees. Your Hokage can kiss the fattest part of my ass though. I'm not giving him a damn thing. If we need anymore help, we're taking our missions to Sunagakure, no matter how far of a walk that is."

"I understand. For what it's worth, I apologize, Tazuna-san. I never expected things to get this far. If only…"

"I don't want to hear it. Your Hokage put my people at risk because he wanted to line up to suck that little punk's microscopic cock. Now help me build my damn bridge. I want you people out of my country as soon as possible." Tazuna said, sounding genuinely pissed off.

Genma could only sigh and nod his head. Dammit Sasuke. The Hokage will not be pleased by any of this.

Two days later

Naruto hadn't awoken once for the past two days since pulling his little stunt. As much as the girls had wanted to remain with him, they had agreed to help build the bridge and keep Tazuna and his family safe, even if there was no longer a threat to any of them. So Tsunami had volunteered to watch over him until he awakened.

It was dinnertime now, and Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes and stretched. As he did, he realized that he felt rather stiff. Groaning again when he climbed out of bed, he wobbled and had to catch himself before he could fall over. "Damn. What the hell happened to me?"

"You overexerted yourself." a woman's voice said from beside him. Turning to see who it was, he saw the very woman he had saved from death. Or, more accurately, the woman he had revived. "Naruto-kun, you nearly killed yourself reviving me. While I'm truly, unbelievably grateful to you, I don't want you risking your life like that again. Okay? Please promise me."

Naruto nodded as he sat back down on the bed. "I promise. Umm…"

"Retsu. My name is Retsu Unohana. It's very nice to meet you, Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled and said, "Likewise, Retsu-chan. How long have I been out?"

"Two, almost three days. We've all been waiting for you to wake up. We've been worried sick about you." Standing up from her chair, Retsu walked over to the door and locked it before she placed a silencing seal on the door and activated it. Afterwards, she walked over to the window and locked it too before placing another seal there. Seeing the look of confusion on Naruto's face, she slowly disrobed until she was naked before him. Straddling him, she cupped his cheeks and kissed him lovingly on the lips. "It's time I thanked you properly, Naruto-kun."

Lemon begins (don't like? Don't read!)

The black-haired woman helped Naruto out of his clothes and began to place gentle, loving kisses all along his collarbone, his neck, shoulders, chest, and on his lips again. Reaching down, she trailed her hands along his pecs, downwards to his abdominal muscles, and eventually to his penis, gently cupping it in her hands. Slowly, she began rubbing her hands along its length, smiling to herself when it became harder and harder until it was standing fully erect at an impressive 10 ½ inches long. "You're quite big for your age. Chances are you'll only continue to grow as you get older." she said appraisingly.

Naruto smiled and pulled her in for another kiss. "Are you sure you want this Retsu-chan? I mean, I'm a younger man, and you have a child. What about your husband?"

The beautiful blue-eyed woman smiled kindly at him and said, "Gato had my husband killed a long time ago. I'm over it by now. Besides, I swore that I'd give myself to you for what you did. And I'm giving my everything to you. Absolutely everything. While we may not be in love yet, we have plenty of time to fall in love with one another. For now, let us make love and connect on an emotional and physical level. I promise, I will NEVER leave you. Okay sweetheart?"

Smiling at her, Naruto helped Retsu insert his penis inside of her waiting snatch, the both of them moaning as they became connected. Slowly, they began to thrust their hips, matching each other's movements and relishing in the pleasure such an action caused. It was a slow pace that they started, and while they both wanted more, they wanted to savor the moment.

Holding each other close, they began to kiss each other hungrily, desperate to connect with one another on another level. Slowly, they began to pick up the pace of their lovemaking, getting rougher with one another and increasing the speed of their thrusts. After a moment, Retsu buried her face in her lover's neck and moaned louder and louder, losing momentum as he continued to thrust up into her roughly. "O-Oh Naruto-kun. T-That…that feels so good. Ohhh…r-right there. Oh yes! More! That, that right there! Oh fuck! Oh yes! Ohhh! I-I'm cumming! Oh yes! Cum inside me Naru-kun! Oh yeeeesssss!"

Naruto grinned as he sucked on his new lover's neck, giving her a wicked hickey and proceeded to empty his load inside of her. They both knew there was the possibility she could get pregnant, but neither one cared. Instead, as soon as they came down from their sexual highs, Retsu pushed Naruto onto his back and dangled her breasts in front of his face. "Suck on them, Naruto-kun." she commanded.

Naruto grinned and proceeded to grip them both gently while he flicked her left nipple with his tongue before he began to nibble and lick it. The entire time, Retsu began to raise herself up and drop down on his massive dick, moaning lewdly all the while. "Yeees. Just like that honey. Ohhh. Sex has never felt this good before. Keep treating me right like this and I can really see myself falling hard for you, Naruto-kun." she teased with a wink.

The blonde grinned at his new lover and said, "Who's to say you haven't already? Sex with me can be…addicting. Once you've been with me, you're ruined for any other man."

Retsu giggled and kissed him passionately before she began to stroke his whisker marks gently. "Ohhh, I think that is definitely true. I'm all yours Naruto-kun. Now and forever. I'll gladly have your children whenever you want."

"I'm glad to hear it, Retsu-chan." he said as he fondled her wonderful breasts and continued to suck on and lick them while she continued to set the pace of their lovemaking. When she started to cum again, he grunted when she started squeezing him tightly. "Oh Kami Retsu-chan, you're squeezing me so tight! I'm cumming!"

Sure enough, Naruto sprayed his seed inside of Retsu's waiting womb, much to her joy. When he finished, she flopped next to him on the bed, breathing heavily. "I'm exhausted…and we've only gone two rounds. You're still so hard…" she said somewhat disbelievingly.

Naruto grinned and climbed atop of her, positioning himself at her entrance again. "Just wait Retsu-chan, we're far from being done yet." he promised as he slid himself inside of her again. They wouldn't be done for another three hours…

Lemon ends (safe to read again!)

Three weeks later

With everyone pitching in together, the bridge was built in record time. Of course, this was due to the fact that most people wanted the Konohagakure ninja out of their country as quickly as possible. Yes, they liked Naruto and Naruko a great deal, but they were still distrustful of the majority of them. It was a bit disappointing, but they understood the reason behind their distrust.

Haku was pleased that they had at least allowed her and the Konoha teams to give Zabuza a proper burial. He was now buried on a hill overlooking the sea. The Kubikiribocho was acting as a headstone for him, though she was sure he would have preferred he take it with her. She just couldn't accept the responsibility of taking his blade, though.

Now here they were, on The Great Naruto Bridge, walking across towards the Land of Fire. They hadn't said so much as a single goodbye to anyone. There were no talks of peace, no talks of a treaty, nothing. Sasuke had ruined everything with his actions. Sighing softly, Genma looked over at Kushina, Retsu, and her son, and shook his head. They're the only good things to come out of this mission, I swear. Shaking it off, he continued to lead the group on their way back towards Konohagakure. They all knew the Hokage was going to be furious, but nowhere near as much as the councils and the Elders.

Konohagakure – Days later

Hiruzen smiled as he saw Teams 7 and 8 enter his office with some guests. However, when he didn't see Sasuke among them, his smile faded somewhat. "Welcome back. Where's Sasuke-kun? Did he go straight home, perhaps?"

Everyone scowled at him, causing Hiruzen to frown in confusion. Kushina, deciding to just get straight to the point, said, "I had to kill Sasuke, Hiruzen. Sasuke used his Sharingan on the people of Wave and made that little boy kill his mother," here, she pointed at Retsu Unohana. "Sasuke also attempted to kill Naruto-kun. He took people hostage, tried to force Haku-chan to 'pleasure' him…" Sighing heavily, she shook her head and said, "We have a LOT we need to report to you, Hiruzen. So you'd better sit there, shut up, and listen. You don't want a repeat of what happened last time you didn't listen to me."

The Hokage wisely shut up and listened as Genma, Kurenai, Anko, and Kushina told him all the details of the mission. They started with Team 7 leaving Konoha, learning about Tazuna lying about the mission details, the call for backup, and what happened when they encountered Zabuza. From there, Kurenai and Anko took over, detailing what happened when they caught up to Team 7 and how they captured Haku, killed Zabuza, gave him a proper burial, killed Gato and his goons, and so on. Then the four of them talked about Sasuke's actions the following day and what he did.

When they finally finished, Hiruzen massaged the bridge of his nose, trying to deal with the massive headache that had built up during the whole explanation. "Goddammit. I don't even know what to say to all that! I can't even fathom how the councils will try to spin this situation in Sasuke's favor. Kushina, can I count on you to be there with me to help deal with the fallout this is going to cause? I'm not going to defend the Uchiha's actions this time. They'll try. Oh Kami will they try. But I've tolerated it for quite long enough. That rotten little shit's cost us a goddamn trade agreement with a country that would've helped us quite a bit! They'll try to get you to hand over the Sharingan as well. You can give them to whoever the hell you want, I just don't give a shit anymore. As for Haku, claim her as a vassal of your clan or whatever. I'm tired of them trying to have their way with everything."

Kushina and the others were pleasantly surprised by Hiruzen's change in attitude. "Gladly, Hokage-sama." Kushina said with a grin on her face. "When do you want to start this meeting with the bastards?"

"Right now. I don't even want to give them time to prepare." Hiruzen said as he motioned for everyone to follow him.

Leaving the room, he led all of them to the council meeting room. Once there, he took his seat and motioned for Kushina to take the empty seat that once belonged to the Uzumaki clan head. Once she was seated, he motioned for an Anbu to go and summon the rest of the council.

For a while, everything was silent. Then the various council members began to pour into the room. First were the civilian council members, each of them looking self-important and full of themselves, which wasn't unusual for them. They each ran businesses of some kind and were generally assholes that treated Naruto like shit and practically worshipped Sasuke Uchiha.

The next to enter were the clan heads. These people were: Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, Tsume Inuzuka, Choza Akimichi, Shibi Aburame, and Hiashi Hyuga. While Inoichi smiled at Naruto and Shibi smiled at his son, Hiashi scowled at his daughter, not at all pleased to see what he considered to be a traitor to his clan.

The final three to enter were Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and Danzo Shimura. These three were the ones who were the usual culprits behind pulling Hiruzen's strings, making him do their bidding and robbing him of his spine. Of course, the members of the civilian council played a part in it as well, but the Elders were the main issue.

Giving a subtle nod to Kushina, Hiruzen smirked as her chakra chains shot up and pinned the three Elders in place. Naruto frowned as he looked at Danzo closer. "Hinata-chan…see if you can see what lies beyond those bandages of his."

Hinata nodded and activated her Byakugan. Upon doing so, she gasped and said, "Hokage-sama! You need to see what's beyond those bandages! It's…it's not human!"

Scowling, the Hokage walked up to his old rival and ripped away his bandages, revealing the grotesque arm as well as all the Sharingan eyes. "You old fool. Kushina, if you would please finish him?"

"With pleasure, Hokage-sama." the beautiful redhead said as she used her chakra chains to crush his arm, destroying the Sharingan eyes in the process. She also pierced the Sharingan eye in his head, but when she went to finish him off, a squad of Root soldiers surrounded her and attempted to kill her, only for normal Anbu and the other clan heads to appear and fend them off.

Glaring at Danzo, Hiruzen shouted, "I ordered you to disband your Root program!" Seeing Danzo smirk at him, the old Hokage scowled and said, "Of fucking course you wouldn't. Anbu, kill them and then find where the hell they're all hiding! I want Danzo's base of operations sacked and all of his precious foot soldiers killed! I want evidence of all his crimes brought to me so I can hopefully fix everything he's fucked up over the years! Kushina, kill this son-of-a-bitch!"

Kushina simply grinned devilishly as she finished Danzo off before he or his Root could do anything about it. Afterwards, just to ensure they couldn't do anything either, she used her chakra chains to kill Homura and Koharu as well.

Once everything had settled down, Hiruzen turned to the civilians and said, "I do hope you all get the message now. From now on, I'm not taking any of your shit. The problems you've all had with Naruto-kun stop NOW. This means no more kicking him out of your shops. No more overcharging him for basic necessities. No more harassment. No more spitting in his food. No more ANYTHING! From now on, you treat him with some fucking respect, or you walk your ass up to the nearest Anbu and say, "Please sir/madam, run me through with your sword. I want to die for being an asshole today." Do you understand me?!"

Everyone in the room blinked in shock at what Hiruzen had just said. Nobody said anything. Silence permeated the room and if a pin had dropped, it would have echoed clearly for all to hear. After a while, Hiruzen smiled kindly and said, "Good, you seem to understand." Turning to Hiashi, Hiruzen kept his kind smile and said, "And Hiashi, I seem to recall you demanding of me that I return your daughter to you to be branded with that wretched abomination you and your clan call a seal. Self-preservation and all that. Well I'm telling you here and now that I am DENYING your 'demand'. In fact, if you dare to demand anything from me EVER again, I will terminate you, the elders of your clan, and I will personally see to it that that abomination you call a seal is removed from the history books forever. In fact, I think I'll have Kushina-chan here look into removing it right now. And before you start spouting shit about 'clan affairs', I just do not give a shit anymore. You have abused that far too often to get away with slavery and the abuse of clan members in my village for far too long now, Hiashi! It just won't fly with me anymore! So I'm giving you this one chance to cooperate. Hand the notes on the seal over to Kushina-chan and allow her to create a modified seal that the whole clan can wear so your clan can be united as one with no fucking slavery…or I can and WILL kill you and the elders of your clan. Which will it be?"

Hiashi was wide-eyed for a time before he scowled hatefully at the Hokage. "You can't do that. Besides, you need us. You wouldn't…"

"I see. So you've made your choice." Hiruzen said with a sigh. "Shame. I was hoping you would have chosen wisely. Oh well." Standing, the Hokage walked slowly towards Hiashi, who was now starting to sweat in fear. Rising from his chair, he started slowly backing away from the older man. "Shikaku, if you would?"

Hiashi suddenly froze and glanced behind him, seeing Shikaku holding him in place with his shadow jutsu. "L-Let me go! You can't do this to me!"

"Troublesome. You brought this on yourself. Do try to hurry, Hokage-sama. His struggling is getting tiresome." Shikaku said.

The Third simply chuckled before he disappeared and reappeared with a kunai buried deep in Hiashi's gut. Afterwards, he stabbed Hiashi over and over again in various places, such as his heart, kidneys, his throat, jugular vein, pretty much wherever he wanted. When he was done, he removed Hiashi's eyes and summoned an Anbu to his side. "Preserve these. I want to give these to someone worthy of them. No sense in letting them go to waste, after all." The Anbu nodded and proceeded to vanish with the Byakugan eyes.

Hiruzen walked up to Naruto and Naruko at this point and looked seriously into their eyes for a time. After some time, he dropped to his knees and prostrated himself before them. "I am truly sorry for my transgressions against the both of you. I will work to make everything up to you from now on. I know I have yet to earn your forgiveness, but I will work towards it. For now, just know that I am on your side."

Naruto and Naruko were stunned. They were absolutely speechless and were unable to form any words. All they could do was just stare at him in shock. They had honestly never expected something like this. Seeing this, Retsu walked up and placed a hand on their shoulders and smiled down at the aged Hokage. "It will be okay, Hokage-sama. I'm sure they understand. Now you should probably get up. Don't want to ruin your cape." she teased good-naturedly.

The Hokage rose to his feet again and chuckled softly. "Thank you Retsu-san." Looking at the two Uzumaki's, he smiled kindly at them before he turned and summoned more Anbu. "Go and collect the Hyuga clan elders. Bring them to the village square. I want the people of Konoha to see what happens when they cross me. I'm tired of the people of this village thinking they can get away with whatever they want. It's time to send a message that EVERYONE can read loud and clear."

When they left, Hiruzen looked around at everyone and said, "Please follow me. I want you all to be there as witnesses." Turning to look straight into Hinata's eyes, he asked, "Hinata-chan, are you okay with this?"

Hinata frowned as she thought it over. After about a minute, she said, "Honestly? Yes, I am. I had no love for my father. I have no love for my cousin. And I have no love for my sister. And I certainly have no love for the elders. I've never truly been a part of that clan and I no longer want anything to do with any of them. I'm happier than I've ever been just being with Naruto-kun and Naruko-chan. But, if I had my way, I'd be clan head and change things for the better. I'd unite the clan, get rid of all the hatred, I'd abolish slavery within the clan, I'd fix everything. And if people fought me over it, then I'd say fuck 'em and kick them out of the clan. They could kiss my ass for all I care."

"Good. Because once the elders are dead, I'm appointing you as the new clan head. You're the only one I can trust to actually lead them down the correct path. And should anyone try to fight you on this, I want you to deal with them however you see fit. Kushina-chan will assist you in whatever you may need." Hiruzen said with a kind smile on his face. Afterwards, he began leading the large group out of the building and towards the center of the village.

Upon arriving, they saw the Hyuga elders on their knees on a raised platform, looking as if they were primed for execution. This was actually rather appropriate, because that's exactly the reason they were here! Hinata easily noticed her cousin, Neji Hyuga, watching from the front of the crowd with a blank, unreadable expression on his face. She couldn't be sure what he was thinking, though she had a feeling he was finding a cruel sense of humor in this scene.

Hiruzen walked up behind the Hyuga elders and looked out upon the crowd that had gathered. "Hello and welcome everyone. I've summoned you all here for a very important reason! First, as you can see, I have gathered the elders of the Hyuga clan here. You see, Hiashi Hyuga just so happened to piss me off earlier. I'm tired of the Hyuga elders hiding behind the 'clan affairs' excuse to do what they want and get away with slavery and abuse of fellow clan members. So I decided that it was time to do something about it. So, without further adieu…" Taking out a kunai, Hiruzen walked behind each of the Hyuga elders and stabbed each of them in the back of the head, one by one, until they had all fallen dead to the ground.

Looking out at the crowd once again, the Hokage smiled pleasantly at them. "Now that you can see that I'm not going to take anymore shit from anybody, it's time I got into the juicy bits of what I'm about to tell you. Before we start with that, however, I wanted to let you all know that Hinata Hyuga will be taking over as the new head of the Hyuga clan. So congratulations, Hinata-chan."

Before Hinata could say anything, Neji stepped forward and pointed angrily at Hinata. "You can't be serious?! You're putting that weakling in charge of the clan?! She's the reason my father is dead! She's the daughter of that monster! She's just as bad as the rest of them! What the hell are you even thinking?!"

Hinata scowled at Neji's blatant disrespect towards the Hokage. Looking at the Hokage, she saw him nod at her. Sighing heavily, she formed a hand seal that was familiar to Neji, shocking him before he felt the immense pain and collapsed to the ground, clutching at his head in agony. For a time, he screamed and screamed, tears streaming down his cheeks. When she finally let up, he just laid there sobbing in pain.

"Let that be a lesson to you. I will not take anymore shit from ANY of you. As I said, Hinata is the new head of the Hyuga clan. If you idiots have a problem with that, feel free to take it up with me, Kushina Uzumaki, or Hinata-chan herself. I promise you here and now that you won't like the response either way." Hiruzen said with a devilish smirk on his face.

"Now, the first piece of business I'd like to get out of the way is the fact that I want you to know that I won't tolerate your shit regarding Naruto Uzumaki and Naruko Uzumaki anymore. There will be no more harassment of any kind. No more overcharging them for necessities. No more spitting in or otherwise ruining their meals. No more ANYTHING. If I hear about any of it, I'll make sure you regret it personally. Oh, I won't kill you. That would be far, far too merciful. No, I'll get creative. And trust me, you won't like it when I get creative." Hiruzen said with a wicked grin on his face.

"The second piece of business that I'd like to get out of the way is the fact that you idiots don't seem to realize something rather important. It's something that should have been rather obvious from the start, but you're all too fucking STUPID to see. Naruto Uzumaki and Naruko Uzumaki are the children of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his WIFE Kushina Uzumaki. And also, because you're all so very, VERY stupid, Kushina was the previous jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko. She was allowed to live a normal life, so why the fuck did you idiots refuse to let Naruto and Naruko live normal lives?"

The citizens went wide-eyed at this piece of information. Looking at the twins, they didn't know what to think anymore. Their worlds had just been turned upside-down in mere moments. Their Hokage had just dropped one hell of a bombshell on them and they had a feeling he wasn't done just yet.

"Minato-kun wanted his children to be seen as heroes. You failed him in that regard by ABUSING his children. Great job on that, by the way. Assholes." Hiruzen muttered. "But now, I need to inform you of something you all are not going to like." Sighing heavily, the aged Hokage massaged the bridge of his nose and said, "You fucking idiots spoiled Sasuke Uchiha silly. You stroked his ego to the point he literally believed he could do no wrong. I was to blame for this as well, I must admit. I never tried to correct his behavior. Regardless, what's done is done."

Looking around at everyone, Hiruzen decided to just come out with it. "On his most recent mission to the Land of Waves, Sasuke Uchiha was killed. And no, before you ask, he was NOT killed by an enemy ninja. Sasuke awakened his Sharingan in a moment of anger and used it to take the citizens of Wave hostage. He forced a child to kill his own mother. He tried to force another young woman to, erm…give him a blowjob. And he also tried to kill Naruto Uzumaki. Kushina Uzumaki had to end Sasuke Uchiha's life in order to save everyone. If it wasn't for her heroic actions, Sasuke would have killed a LOT of people. He literally called himself a god and claimed that he could get away with absolutely ANYTHING because we spoiled him and allowed him to get away with so much here in Konohagakure. It is because of him that Konoha ninja and villagers are no longer allowed in the Land of Waves. We have no trade agreement. We will receive no more missions from them. We are quite literally blacklisted there. And it's all because of Sasuke Uchiha. So congratulations. Look at what your actions have caused."

The people began to murmur in disbelief, unable to imagine the scenario that the Hokage had just described to them. When they began to blame Naruto, Hiruzen flared his killing intent, causing a number of them to vomit the contents of their stomachs. "Open your eyes! Sasuke is NOT the golden boy you idiots seem to think he is! Or rather, what you think he was! And stop blaming Naruto-kun for fucking EVERYTHING! I warned you! I will NOT warn you again! I will kill you if you continue to blame Naruto-kun for everything that goes wrong. If you really want to know the truth, feel free to travel to the Land of Waves. They named the bridge there after Naruto-kun for his heroic deeds. If you don't believe me, you are more than welcome to trespass on their property to ascertain the truth. Don't be surprised though if they attack you on sight. And if you were to so much as speak Sasuke's name, wellllll…good luck. That's all I'll say." Hiruzen said with a smirk on his face.

Seeing the citizens quickly calming down, the Hokage turned and began making his way back towards his office. However, he shot one last glance at Neji Hyuga. "Neji Hyuga. I suggest you pull that stick out of your ass before it kills you. That's all I'll say on the matter. Come Hinata-chan, we have much to discuss."

As Hinata walked off with the Hokage, Neji scowled as he slowly started to rise, his head still pounding. Damn them. Damn them all to hell! If that's how they want to play it, then I'll just have to kill that bitch in the Chunin Exams! Clan head or not, she can't escape me there! I won't let anyone or anything stop me from having my revenge!

A/N - And that's the chapter! As you can see, a LOT happened in this chapter. As you can no doubt see, Hiruzen finally gained a fucking backbone and accept Naruko-chan as her own person finally! Yay for that! I also introduced Retsu Unohana from Bleach! Yaaaaay! lol. Good times, right?

Anywho, I'm tired. Haven't been to sleep yet. Probably should've gone to sleep hours ago, but I didn't. I've had to move heavy, heavy things up and down stairs constantly these past few days, working like a damn slave constantly throughout the past few days. On top of that, my new meds fucked me up BAD. I really haven't been doing too well. . So yeaaaah.

Okay, I think I'll try to get some sleep soon. Probably. Yeah. . Yay bunnies?
