Chapter 9: Showing her around.

( Konoha)

Now in the village with Kankandara who is under her henge looking like her human self like she looked like in the past before she was betrayed by her villagers as Shiro-Hebi who is disguised as a White Snake is on her shoulder with Naruto showing her everything in the village.

Though she had noticed several eyes of disgust and sneers directed at Naruto. Who was ignoring them as she glanced at them with hidden murderous intent hoping they'd back off.

That was when she heard their whispers.

"Hey what's a Shrine Maiden doing with the Demon brat?" Said a middle aged villager

"Is she going to kill that thing?" Said a Female Villager glaring at Naruto.

"I thought Shrine Maidens would be working with the Daimyo." Said another villager

As more and more bad words coming from their mouths directed at Naruto was making her angry as she tried her best to ignore it and not kill the damn idiot villagers.

"So Naruto... do you anyplace where we can eat?" She asks while trying not to blow her cover.

"Yes we can go to Ichiraku's! It's my favorite place to eat... since other restaurants don't allow me to eat there." Said Naruto with a wince as she frowned hissing slightly.

( Ichiraku's)

"Ah welcome Naruto! Where have you been? Oh who is this?" Asked Teuchi who is the ramen chef as he noticed Naruto bring in a stranger.

"Yeah who is she Naruto she's very beautiful." Says Ayame Ichiraku looking at Kankandara

Aoi smiled looking at the two.

"My name is Aoi. And I am a Shrine Maiden." She Introduced herself.

"Well Hello, Lady Aoi, I can see you and Naruto must be hungry? Come sit fresh ramen is on the way." Says Teuchi as she smiled with Naruto smiling.

In about 3 minutes later Naruto is happily eating Miso ramen while Aoi herself had Shrimp Ramen and for once it tasted so good that she loved it. It's been awhile since she's had regular food. Sure as a snake monster she has eaten animals in the forest of death. But for decades this is the first time In her cursed life that she's finally eating regularly food. In the past as a Shrine maiden she loved all sorts of good food, steamed Rice, Rice Balls, Dango, Tempura Lobster, Sushi Mackerel, Sushi Yellowtail , Tempura Udon, Herring Soba and General Tsao Chicken. Those were all her favorites when she was a human back then. She wonder did other restaurants here in this village serve her favorite food? She would have to find out when she gets claim over Naruto, but that would be a problem. Given how the villagers treat Naruto she will have to do something to allow her and Naruto to eat proper food.

"So Naruto how did you and Lady Aoi meet?" asked Teuchi.

"It's very complicated I-" He says but she cut him off.

"We met in the forest. I was traveling here and found him all alone in the forest." She says which was a Half-truth as her Snake companion hissed lightly with Aoi petting Shiro.

"Really? Never guessed a Shrine Maiden would come all the way from Fire Country to visit our village." Says Teuchi looking at her.

"So this village is under the rule of this Hokage you speak of?" she asks with them nodding.

"Yeah. The third hokage." answered Teuchi wiping the bar. While Naruto kept eating.

"Third? So is this the last Hokage?" she asked she did have unfinished business with the first and second Hokage along with Madara Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki

"Well apparently we had a fourth Hokage. But he perished in the kyuubi attack." Teuchi explains as Aoi listened and Naruto winced.

"The kyuubi? What is it?" She couldn't help but ask wanting to know what it was.

"It's a Demon... a Tailed Beast and is the strongest among its kind. It's a Nine tailed Fox." Teuchi says with Aoi frowning in a calculating way she would have to research this but then something caught her. As she looked at Naruto looking at his cheeks that resembled so much like a Fox's whiskers then remembered the scent of a Fox on this boy. She wondered is Naruto somehow connected to the Fox?

"How did your fourth Hokage beat the Kyuubi?" She asks with him shushing her as he looked out his stand to make sure no one wasn't listening only to find no one.

"I really can't tell you. It's forbidden." He says in a whisper as she frowned.

"Pray tell me why? On who's authority?" She asks

"The Sandaime." He answered as she glared of course the old man would do that.

"What ever happened to the first and second Hokage?" She then asks

"Both are dead they both died in two Shinobi wars." Teuchi answered as she frowned further so that could mean the second Hokage must have made the Sandaime his successor and this fourth one is his successor before him. So both Hokages perished meaning she can't get her revenge. Could that Madara Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki Perished as well? During her slumber. Meaning her chance of revenge is gone.

No matter she will have to accept this.

"I see." She says in a neutral tone

"So what you plan to do with Naruto?" He asks breaking her from her thoughts

"I am going to adopt him obviously." She says with him and Ayame looking shocked at that

Even Naruto looked up at her in shock when she said that.

"Seriously? No one has never adopted him they never wanted him. I tried to adopt him but I couldn't." He says with her frowning.

"Why is that Teuchi-san?" Aoi asks seeing him frown.

"Ayame why don't you take Naruto to the back and have him taste test our ramen." He would say as she nodded and took young Naruto to the back.

As they left Teuchi put on a serious expression as he looked out his stand to make sure no one wasn't listening or looking.

While Aoi folded her arms under her chest with Shiro hissing lightly.

"The reason I can't is because the Hokage won't allow me too." He admitted as Aoi frowned.

"Is that so? Well the Hokage won't stop me from having the boy as my son." She says

"You maybe a Shrine maiden but the Hokage is above all here in this village." He says with her smiling

"I wouldn't say that. If the Hokage won't allow me then I'll see to it that the Highest authority in this land allows me too. The Fire Daimyo right ?" she says with him nodding.

"That's all I need to know. I believe Naruto already trusts you to look after him while I go." She says turning away.

"Where are you going and what are you about to do?" He asks again seeing her pause and look back at him.

"It shouldn't concern you. Just keep him safe for me until I come back." She says Leaving.

(In the forest of death.)

"So is this all of it?" She says looking at both Yugao and Anko.

"Yes this is All of Naruto's hospital records. I've stolen them from the hospital just as you commanded." Yugao says with Aoi smiling.

"Good work. And pray tell me you found out who his parents are?" She added with Yugao handing her the documents of Naruto's birth Parents and birth certificate.

"This is excellent. Your Hokage didn't suspect this did he?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

"No Aoi-sama." Answered both of them.

"Good. I'll be going now to visit the fire Daimyo." She says heading into a secret exit out of the forest of death that leads to leaving outside the village walls since Anko given her the map to Fire country and to seek the Firelord Daimyo.

She'll go through any great lengths to keep Naruto at her side and no fool of a Hokage was going to stop her from taking what was hers.

The boy will be hers now.
