AN: So, here we are with my new story idea. This will NOT be a crossover for Percy Jackson or any other Greek media. I will be using Greek Mythology but maybe not all aspects of it. As said in the Summary... Minato is gonna be an arrogant prick that pisses off the Gods, not just Zeus, but every one of them. But rather than give too much away than what the summary has already. That said... I received a review from someone on another story saying that I was being too "bashy." So this is your warning, Minato and Konoha in general are going to be shit on big time with the exception of a few characters.
ONWARDS TO THE STORY!

Chapter 1: Reunions and Punishment
In the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Minato, the Yellow Flash was grandstanding on the top of the Hokage Mountain with his wife, Kushina, and the previous Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, were behind him looking exhausted. In the last year since Hiruzen had named the blonde his successor as the 4th Hokage, Minato has grown arrogant, egotistical, and cocky, almost dangerously so. Both He and Kushina were worried about what the Gods would do if they ever felt insulted by the Blonde idiot.
"You know Hiruzen… Nowadays, I don't recognize him as the man that rescued me and that I fell in love with." She said with a sigh.
"I know, He's not the same man that I named my successor. I don't know who is worse… Orochimaru or him… Arrogance and cocky, or Mad Scientist?" Hiruzen nodded.
Meanwhile, completely self-absorbed in himself, Minato either didn't notice or care about what the mere mortals behind him were doing. He ruled this village with an iron fist and had every woman at his beck and call. He didn't care about his marriage, in all honesty, he did love her once, but now, she was nothing but a trophy for him to show off, especially since she was likely the last of her clan, and he expected her to remain loyal to him, even if he slept with anyone he pleased. The council even gave themselves or their daughters who were old enough in hopes of integrating his genes into their families.
"I am not your Hokage! Such a meager title doesn't fit someone of power and skill! I am a God! One far greater than those weak fools up on Olympus! Stronger than Zeus, wiser than Athena, faster than Hermes, wage war better than Ares, a better hunter better than Artemis! They have nothing on me!" He shouted out to the village, smirking at the rumble of thunder that sounded overhead.
"He's going to get the village destroyed." Kushina groaned while Hiruzen nodded in agreement.
[Olympus – Chamber of the Gods]
Up on Olympus, the Pantheon of the Gods were in assembly, even Hades, who was usually not invited and stuck in the underworld, and all of them were beyond pissed.
"Brother, this is an outrage! This mortal has gotten too full of himself and has been for the last year! We need to do something!" Poseidon said slamming his trident down into the marble floor. He was a tall man with a swimmer's build with sea-green hair and sea blue eyes, wearing green and gold armor and he is the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, and horses, often known as the Earth Shaker.
"Agreed, he claims to be better than us when we could and should squash him like a bug!" Ares raged. He is the God of War and Courage and one of two of Zeus' and Hera's sons. He was a huge bulky man clad in standard gladiator armor, with a massive Gladius on his hip and a massive shield on his back along with an equally massive bow, with a quiver along his back. He had fiery red hair and sharp battle-hardened brown eyes.
"That cretin is even having his subordinates to give their daughters or even themselves to him against their will! We should kill him and rescue those girls! I'd gladly welcome them into The Hunt." Artemis shouted. She was a beautiful young woman with short mint green hair and green eyes, wearing a leather battle dress, which was covered in leaves for camouflage, and a massive bow and quiver on her back. She is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, the moon, and chastity. She often took girls in her group of female hunters who have been wronged by men and has an extreme hatred towards men.
"Hey whoa! I think we all agree we should punish this mortal, the question is how do we do it? As shocking as it may sound coming from me, straight out killing him is too good for him… even if I'd enjoy tormenting his soul. He should suffer for his transgression." Hades said. This was the God of the Underworld, the dead and riches. He had blue flames for hair and wore a black toga, however when was pissed off his flames turned red.
"That is rare for you to say Hades, however, I do agree, this cretin should suffer. And I am going to add to the rarity." Hera said getting looks of intrigue from everyone. She was the Queen of the Gods, Zeus' wife and sister, Goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family. She had wavy golden brown hair with sky blue hair and a beautiful figure, wearing a purple silk gown. "Now, all of you know how I feel about unfaithfulness, especially when it comes to married couples." She paused getting nods and curious gazes from everyone, especially her husband. She sighed and took a deep breath before continuing. "I propose that we go with my husband's means of teaching mortal men a lesson. This one time, I will allow him to sleep with and impregnate, Minato Namikaze's wife, Kushina Uzumaki. This would humiliate him as a cuckold, and the child would undoubtedly be the constant source of a reminder to him and those who worship the man. Not to mention when it gets out to the rest of the world that he angered us to this point that even I allowed it to happen that he'd lose all creditably, even if should he banish the child."
"Are you sure about this my dear? You normally hate it when I punish mortals this way." Zeus asked cautiously. He was the King of the Gods, God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice. He was a massively muscled man, with short curly hair, electric blue eyes, wearing a white toga with gold trimmings. Like any mentally healthy man, he had a healthy respect and fear for his wife, even if he had a habit of sleeping around, he always ended up paying for it.
"You are right, normally if you did this you'd be spending time cleaning up after Cerberus, but this mortal has pissed me off, especially since I am patron god of the Land of Fire. Besides, this will not be the only punishment this fool will be receiving from me. Just know this will be the one and only time I approve of this Zeus. Do it again and I will remove what makes you man." She said in an authoritative tone that made even male God in the room shiver and grab their junk earning a squeaky "yes dear" from her husband.
"What of the wife? This Kushina Uzumaki? She's fairly pious, but has given up on trying to correct or stop her husband." Athena asked. She was the goddess of wisdom, olives, weaving, and battle strategy. She was a brunette with brown eyes, wearing a bronze chest plate with a leather battle skirt. She had a book in her lap and her Snow Owl on her shoulder.
"I feel she will have suffered enough, with this past year, not to mention having to bear a child to someone who isn't her husband, and likely the torment that fool will likely inflict on her for it. If we go through this, she will require protection." Hera said seriously.
"Yes, I agree your Majesty, shall I send word to a demigod or hero to stand guard over her?" Hermes asked as he flitted around the room with winged sandals holding the caduceus, a staff with two intertwined snakes, crowned a pair of wings and a sphere. He was the messenger of the Gods, and conductor of souls. He was dressed in a leather vest and pants, complete with a travelers hood.
All 4 siblings look at each other as having a silent conversation before nodding. "No… They are people of stealth and deception. We need not a hero, but an assassin that can blend in. Perhaps even one who does not agree with what this offending mortal has been doing. Any suggestions?" Poseidon asked.
"What of Tsunade Senju and her assistant Shizune Katō? I do believe Tsunade is the only woman that this mortal fears since she could kill him with a single punch. She is not within the village due to her losses but finding her should be no issue for Hermes and perhaps we can offer her closure by allowing her to see her lost loved ones to say goodbye." Aphrodite said, stretching wanting to get out of this meeting even if she wasn't pleased with Minato. She was the Goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. She was wearing a skimpy and transparent toga that left little to the imagination that highlighted her blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hades, would you be alright with that?" Hera asked curiously, crossing her arms under her bust.
"Oy vey." Hades exclaimed throwing his arms up in surrender. "Even this is going against the natural order, but yes it is possible as long as she doesn't expect them to remain alive. The most they will have is 10 minutes and she has to swear that she won't reveal this being done or the whole cosmos will expect the same treatment."
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Now then, is there anything else that needs ironing out before we enact this plan?" Zeus looked to his siblings and children.
"Yes, the timing for your...visit. I believe you should wait until we convince Tsunade to return to Konoha if part of our objective is to protect Kushina. So our first objective should be just that: Finding and convincing her to work for us." Athena said, clearly a bit disturbed about what they were planning, even if Minato deserved it.
"As for when after that, stick to your usual method, go while the offender is busy or in the case of this one, while he's sleeping around in his office." Aphrodite said flippantly looking at her nails before looking up. "Just keep in mind, Kushina is a lot more perceptive than your other targets. Don't be surprised if she catches on. Not just that you're not Minato, but why you're there. You may have explained everything to pacify her."
"Surprises never cease..." Athena said, speaking everyone's shock before schooling herself. "That aside, I think we are overlooking an important detail regarding the mortal woman. She is a Jinchūriki therefore, we will be putting her life in danger. Female Jinchūriki's seals are at their weakest at childbirth, and therefore, the fox inside her will try to escape. What are we going to do about that?"
"Huh… Well, I don't have any knowledge on Fūinjutsu, a giant fox should be within my domain. I should be able to keep the furball in check." Artemis said before looking at Athena. "If anyone would know about Fūinjutsu, it'd be you. You're the Goddess of Wisdom after all."
Athena sighed but nodded. "I will have to freshen up on the subject, but yes, I should be able to help there seeing as how the mortal we are targeting will not likely try to prevent the escape of the fox. If anything, he'd want to re-seal the beast into someone else to have a more submissive and loyal weapon rather than the current headstrong one."
"Then it's settled. Hermes, you have your assignment." Zeus said in a firm tone before looking towards his brother, Hades, who nodded and gave the messenger of the gods two orbs. "Those will allow Tsunade to summon her loved one for the specified time."
"Yes sir, I'll find her and inform her of our offer and the job." The hooded messengers said taking off without another word.
"The rest of you are dismissed." The Thunder God declared as he watched everyone but his wife and son Apollo leave the room. "What is it, Apollo? What have you seen?"
"Father, My Queen, this child, my future brother, will be extremely powerful and will play a major factor in deciding the world's fate depending on how he is raised and treated. He will either join the forces of darkness and destroy everything, including we Gods, or he will bring about a peace that will last several lifetimes before he joins us." The God of oracles, healing, archery, music and arts, sunlight, knowledge, herds and flocks, and protection of the young. He was the twin brother of Artemis, however, he looked a lot like Zeus, only he was had more of a lean build, complete with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hmm, I see. Thank you, son, you may go." Zeus said earning a bow from Apollo as he returned to his sun chariot as Hera looked at her husband with a stern look.
"I meant what I said. If I find out you sleep with anyone else other than Kushina enough to give her a child, I will not only castrate you but make the offspring suffer to the point of suicide." She said deadly serious.
"I am aware dear, I promise you that unless you give me permission to do so, I shall forevermore be loyal to you my Queen. I swear it to you on the River Styx." He declared and rumble of thunder sealing his oath. Swearing on the River Styx is the most binding and unbreakable oath that will kill even a god for breaking said oath.
"You didn't have to go that far, but I'm glad you did… you proved your sincerity." Hera said with a soft voice and a bright smile.
[Land of Fire – Capital City: Keishi]
In the entertainment district of the Capital of the Land of Fire there is a busty blonde, blue-eyed woman who appears to be in her early 30's but is actually almost double that, and beside her dragging a suitcase was a 15-year-old girl with brown hair and brown eyes desperately trying to keep up.
"Lady Tsunade. Please slow down. It's not like the gambling hall is going anywhere." The teenager cried out, her arms getting tired.
"We're not going to a gambling hall Shizune, we're getting out of town. I feel something very wrong going to happen soon." The now identified Tsunade said as she keeping her brisk pace.
"But we haven't won anything big lately? Isn't that your telltale sign?" Shizune inquired curiously.
"Normally you'd be right, however, my gut is telling me that we need to keep moving." The Slug Sannin said seriously.
As if proving her point, a hooded figure landed in front of them causing both medics to get into a defensive position, especially when the figure talks. "Lady Tsunade Senju and Shizune Katō I presume?"
"Who wants to know?" Tsunade said, getting ready to unleash her monstrous strength on the stranger.
The figure looks around seeing people gathering and wondering what was going on, he returned his gaze to the medics. "How about we take this somewhere private, we are gaining quite a bit of attention and what I have to say is highly confidential and will be of great importance to both of you."
Having noticing he was right about the crowd gathering, both women nodded, intrigued at what this stranger had to say, they decided to go with him while keeping their guard up and ready to turn him into paste if they don't like what he has to say. "Alright, but you will tell us who you are, and if we don't like what you have to say, well… it wouldn't end well for you." The blonde said sternly.
"Very well, however, I believe that will not come to pass." He said, a smirk was visible to Shizune being shorter than the other two causing her to worry, especially since this hooded stranger was incredibly powerful.
At a random Inn, Tsunade, Shizune, and the Hooded figure rented a room for the day to talk in private. Once the door was locked Hermes revealed himself causing both women to gasp in shock. Tsunade was the first to regain her composure. "So, what does the Messenger of the Gods want with the two of us, or rather what do the Olympian Gods want with us?"
"I will explain everything in detail." Hermes said before he started his explanation. Once he was finished Tsunade looked like she was going level a city block and Shizune looks disgusted. "So, will you help us by helping Kushina?"
"Let me get this straight… Lady Hera has given her approval for Lord Zeus to sleep with Lady Kushina to start punishing and humiliating Minato, and you would like Lady Tsunade to protect her since even they are family, no matter how distantly related they are. Did I get all that right?"
"Yes, in exchange for being able to get 10 minutes with your uncle and her little brother for a chance for closure." Hermes said with a nod.
"...why?" Tsunade said in a low, sorrowful voice before she snaps at the Messenger God. "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BRING BACK PERMANENTLY!?"
"Lady Tsunade…" Shizune said as she moved to hug and comfort her mentor and mother figure.
"I am truly sorry. We cannot do that. Doing so would disturb the natural order. Even allowing this is could have major repercussions on the cosmos." Hermes said seriously, even if he had a sympathetic tone underlined.
"Lady Tsunade, I believe we should accept this job and offer. Even if it's only 10 minutes, that's more than anyone else will ever get." Shizune said cautiously, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her mentor's fist.
After thinking it over, the busty blonde nodded with a sigh. "Very well… I'll accept the job. However, I will only remain in that village until Kushina gives birth safely then I'm done."
"Very well." The Messenger God said before taking out the two orbs. "Take these and focus on the two you wish to see. I suggest allowing Shizune to summon her uncle while you summon your brother. They should have been made aware of the time limit, so make good use of it."
Both nodded took hold of the orbs before looking at Hermes. "How does this work? Do we focus on them or do we just drop these?" Tsunade asked.
"You do both. Focus on your loved ones then drop the orbs." He answered simply.
Doing as told, they focused on their chosen loved ones and dropped the orbs. On contact with the ground, the orbs shattered and white mist filled the room and two figures started to take shape, one that of a 12-year-old boy with short brown hair, hazel eyes, and distinct blushes on his cheeks, wearing a dark teal poncho top and light green pants. The other was a 27-year-old man, with pale blue hair that reached the middle of his back, dark green eyes, wearing the standard Konoha shinobi with a pocket-less flax jacket.
"Dan… Nawaki…" Tsunade said softly, tears pooling in her eyes, with Shizune holding back her tears seeing her uncle for the first time since she was a little girl.
"It's good to see you sis, and you must be Shizune, it's nice to meet you!" Nawaki said with a megawatt smile.
"Tsunade, you're looking as beautiful as ever." Dan said with a tender smile before looking at his niece. "Hey squirt, I see you're doing well. Tsunade's not been too hard on you, has she?"
"No… she's been really good to me." The raven-haired girl chocked out trying not to cry knowing they don't have much time.
The blue-haired man smiled and nodded. "Well, I know we don't have much time so I want to say that this: please don't waste your life grieving for us. I want to you move on, go back to healing people, open a clinic or something. Try to cut back on drinking and gambling. Maybe this deal they offered you to take care of your distant cousin."
"I agree sis… watching you drink your life away and gambling away our family's fortune hurts. You were so much happier when you were healing people. Please, promise me you'll take care of yourself, if not for us or yourself, do it for Shizune here. She's all you got, just as she's all you have left." Nawaki said in a sad tone.
"As for you Shizune, I need to you take care of Tsunade and not be afraid to stand up to her." Dan said with a smirk.
"Do you know how hard losing you two was…? I can't stand the slight blood anymore…" Tsunade said weakly, hugging herself and looking very vulnerable.
"Tsunade… I know our deaths hit you hard. We've watched as you suffered. But it's been years hun, we're asking you to let go, to move on, and find something to make you happy again. We're not asking you to forget us, but also not to let our memory weigh you down anymore." The dead Jonin pleaded.
"He's right sis. Do what you need to be truly happy and not this self-destructive lifestyle you've been living in fact, I'm glad you haven't completely lost yourself and started sleeping around like that pervert of a teammate of yours." Nawaki remarked.
After a few precious minutes, Shizune piped up. "Lady Tsunade, I think they're right. Who knows maybe caring for Lady Kushina will do us some good and open new avenues for us."
Tsunade sighed heavily and nodded. "I'll do what I can… but it's not going to be easy, especially my hemophobia, but I will do my best to move on." She paused, taking a deep, shaky breath, with tears rolling down her cheeks before continuing. "I love you both, and will never forget you."
As if saying that was a trigger, both started appearing to be see-through. Looking at their hands, they had a sad smile. Dan was the one that voiced their thoughts. "Looks like we're out of time. Remember what we said, work towards moving on and have a better life than your living right now. I'll always love you both, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you to live alone while you're alive, and not just with Shizune."
Nawaki nodded. "At least consider it sis. Even if you can't have children anymore, I'd like for you to find somewhere to settle down and find someone to share the rest of your life with while you live as a healer, we both would."
Tsunade simply nodded while Shizune hugged her, both crying as they watched their loved ones fade away. Hermes, having watched all of this, wiped a tear of his own at the scene.
It was 5 minutes later that the medic duo collected themselves and looked at the god in the room with determination. "When do we start? While I'm not sure if we'll settle in Konoha, we have our loved ones last words to honor." Tsunade said firmly.
"Head there now, I will return to Olympus and confirm your acceptance of the mission. Lord Zeus will act when you arrived." Hermes replied receiving a nod from them.
[Konoha]
5 days later, the medic duo was approaching their mission destination, much to the surprise of the Eternal Gate Chunins. "Lady Tsunade! What a pleasant surprise. Welcome back to the Leaf. Can I offer you an escort to the Hokage Tower?" One of them asked.
The blonde just sighed. "No, my assistant and I will be just fine. It's a straight shot after all. Let's go Shizune." and left with her daughter figure following behind after bowing to the two gate guards.
"Lady Tsunade… why are we going to the Tower when we should be looking for Lady Kushina?" Shizune asked curiously.
"...because Shizune, all visitors, shinobi or not, must report to the Hokage, and since I am both a shinobi of this cursed village and a visitor, we have to follow protocol." Tsunade replied exhaustively.
20 minutes later, after walking through the village with civilians and shinobi alike giving the Sannin greetings and bowing in respect, much to her chagrin, they arrived at the front desk to ask to see Minato. After getting the go-ahead to go up to his office, they noticed a woman coming down the stairs with a disheveled appearance with the clear scent of sex catching the medic duo's noises as she passed them.
'Filthy Pig… I can see part of the reason why the Gods want to punish him, and something tells me that Lord Zeus sleeping and impregnating Kushina is only part of it.' Tsunade thought, knowing that Shizune shared her thoughts.
Inside the office, they saw an equally disheveled Minato despite him clearly having tried to straighten himself out, but he couldn't erase the pungent smell of sex. "Ahh Tsunade, Shizune, welcome home. What brings you back?" Minato said, lustfully eyeing both of them especially Tsunade and her giant breasts, and couldn't help but wonder what Shizune would look like in a few years.
Suppressing a growl, Tsunade kept her features schooled. "I am here to spend time with the possible last member of my family, your WIFE, Kushina. That and work at the hospital during my stay." She said, empathizing the fact he had a wife.
Shrugging it off, showing that he didn't care what the older woman thought, Minato simply continued eyeing the two of them continuing the conversation. "I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you and the hospital will love having you back. Where will you be staying?"
"I figure we'll stay at your place with Kushina since you seem to be so busy here with your...work." She said snidely.
"Very well. We have more than enough room to put the two of you." He said, barely containing his excitement before calling for his most loyal ANBU. "DOG!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage?" An ANBU with gravity-defying silver hair appeared in a kneeling position.
"Show these lovely ladies to my house and let Kushina know they'll be staying with us." The Blonde Hokage said earning a nod from the ANBU.
"If you'd follow me Lady Tsunade, Shizune." Dog said politely.
However, before they left Minato had one last thing to say. "Oh, and Tsunade? Can you let her know that I won't be home again tonight?"
"Are you ever home to spend time with your wife?" Shizune asked heatedly.
Minato merely shrugged and waved them off, getting back to the paperwork that was miraculously untouched by the earlier rutting. The medic growled lowly causing the ANBU in the room to tense and prepare to defend Minato if the women attacked, however, they stood down when Tsunade, Shizune left the room with Dog quickly following behind to fulfill his orders.
After 10 minutes of storming through the village they arrive at their destination thanks to the wary guide, Dog bowed before using the Body Flicker Jutsu to get out of dodge. Taking time to take a deep breath to calm themselves down, Shizune knocks on the door.
After a minute of waiting the door opened to reveal a beautiful redhead with violet eyes, wearing a white high-collared sleeveless blouse under a loose-fitting green dress. "Hello…? What can I-?" She started to ask before she recognized who was at the door she shouted and tackled them into a hug. "TSUNADE! SHIZUNE!"
"Good to see you too Kushina. I see you haven't let the stress of having a lousy husband get you down." Tsunade groaned from the force of the tackle.
"Lady Kushina… can you let us up…? I can't breathe…" Shizune wheezed.
"Oops!" The Redhead got up and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "Please come in."
Inside the house, they sat on a plush couch with fresh tea and other treats. "So what brings you back home after all these years? I thought you said you'd never come back here for anything?" Kushina asked.
"I came by to work at the hospital and spend time with you, possibly the last family I have left." The older woman said solemnly, hiding the fact she was here to act as a bodyguard for a job from the Gods.
"That's very sweet." The Redhead gushed. "And where are you staying?"
"Lord Hokage is letting us stay here with you." Shizune saying Lord Hokage sarcastically.
"That's great! I'll prepare supper for the 3 of us." Kushina said with a smile.
"Wait… so you're not excepting your husband to come home?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"He's only here once or twice a week to get a change of clothes, shower, or grab something from his office. I know full well he has a 'special meeting room' for his 'all-nighters'" the Jinchūriki said with a shrug. "And yeah, I know about him sleeping with just about every woman in the village… The few that haven't are Hitomi, Tsume, Mikoto as well as my students Yugao, and Kurenai…"
"So, the Matriarchs of Hyuuga, Inuzuka, and Uchiha aren't giving in to the fool, nor are your students… but what about the daughters of the clans?" Shizune asked.
Kushina sighed deeply. "Hana has been sleeping with him more regularity than most… the only one so seems to there more than anyone is Mebuki Haruno. That slut has been there almost every night, that's probably who he's seeing tonight. Actually surprised that she hasn't gotten pregnant yet."
Tsunade and Shizune had to chuckle at the pregnant comment knowing what was to come, and soon, perhaps sooner than either of the 3 of them knew. However, Shizune realized that one of her classmates was giving herself willingly to Minato and knew she was too loyal to her loved ones to change her mind. 'Hana…'
"Anyway enough about that idiot and his sluts. Let's get your rooms sorted out then get started on supper." The redhead said putting on a fake smile that the two medics saw through immediately.
'She acts like Minato's infidelity doesn't bother her, but it hurts her very deeply. I hope this plan doesn't hurt her more.' Tsunade thought. 'Screw it… I can't lie or hide anything from family, Lady Hera, Lord Zeus, I hope you can forgive me.'
As if giving the OK, a small rumble of thunder sounded along with a vision of a peacock nodding its head at her. Taking a deep breath before looking at her daughter in all but blood, who nodded in acknowledgment, and looked back at Kushina before saying in a series tone. "Wait, there is something I need to tell you. Something at involves you."
"Wh-what is it? Does it have to that freak rumble of thunder?" Kushina said warily, not likely looking the series looks in their eyes.
"Minato has angered all of the gods, they have come up with a way to punish him, or at least start to punish him if I am to guess." Tsunade started only to take a deep breath, not knowing how the redhead would react to the news. "There's no easy way to say this, but they have decided to make an example out of the idiot by having Lord Zeus come and impregnate you, with Lady Hera's full consent, along will all appropriate measures to ensure your safety. Shizune and I were tasked with being your protectors in case your 'husband' sends someone to try and harm you or your child."
Now, let it be known that Kushina is known for having one hell of a temper, so the response the medics got from the Red Hot Habanero surprised them: A heavy sigh with a resigned look on her face. "Yeah… Hiruzen and I feared that he was going to piss them off. Can't say that I'm surprised that Lady Hera is agreeing to let Lord Zeus do this… Minato has destroyed multiple relationships and marriages with what he's done."
"Wait, you're not mad about being used as a tool for punishment?" Shizune gasped.
"Well, I am irritated at the idea of being used like this, denying the Gods' wishes would bring more harm than good. I will abide by their wishes as a believer and follower of the Gods." The redhead said before smirking mischievously. "Besides, Minato brought this on himself. So, when is Lord Zeus going to be here to enact the plan?"
"We don't know for sure, but I'd say it'll be soon, more likely than not, tonight. Then again, I can't say for sure." Tsunade said.
Kushina nodded. "Well in the meantime, let's get back what we were about to do before you told me this...and thank you for doing so."
Shizune and Tsunade nodded in response and followed the redhead to their rooms to get settled in for the next 9 – 10 months of their lives. That night was quiet, but a lingering tension was in the air, anticipation for when the King of the Gods would make his appearance, but dinner was nice, the three of them caught up, learning about the duo's travels, even if it was most gambling stories, and Kushina provided them with even more intelligence on what was happening within the village other than Minato's ego and sex life before calling it a night.
However, before Kushina got into her bed, she looked out her window and said a silent prayer with tears flowing down her cheeks. 'Please, Gods of Olympus, let this plan go smoothly, and once this is over, please help me get out of this marriage… I can't take this anymore. He isn't the man that I fell in love with, I doubt he ever truly loved me… All I want is a loving family, a man that will be faithful to me and will love my future child as his own.'
As if to answer her prayer, the skies lit up in a flash of lightning, being a blinding light into the bedroom, and as it faded, there stood Zeus looking at her sympathetically causing her to kneel and bow her head out of respect.
"None of that now my dear…" He said motioning for her to sit on her bed, and she did so without wasting any time. "There, that's better. Now, before we begin, I will say that will do what we can to help you with your request."
"Thank you…" She said before undressing and presenting herself to the God. "I'm ready."
"Set up a silencing barrier, we don't need my agents to hear do we?" Zeus said with a smirk earning a blush and immediate response with the room lit up with seals showing that the room was isolated. Needless to say, Kushina had the night of her life, never having felt so much pleasure in her life, and with Hera's blessing in place, the child was guaranteed to be conceived.
[3 months later]
Kushina was starting to show, and thanks to Minato hardly ever being home, he didn't notice, especially since she started wearing baggy clothing when she left the house and when Minato was at home he never paid any attention to her, it wasn't until she woke up one morning that he stayed overnight that her nightgown robe up over her baby bump that he noticed.
"You damn slut… you actually slept with someone else!" Minato roared causing Kushina to wake up and Tsunade to rush in.
"What do you expect!? You leave me high and dry for over a year while you sleep with those whores day in and day out, yet you expect me to remain faithful to you?!" Kushina said adjusting her gown.
"Yes. That is what I expected… but I guess that was too much to ask." He said quietly before looking stern and spoke with authority. "Who was it that gave you this bastard child?"
"Why should I tell you? It's not like you can do anything about it." The Red-Hot Habanero said with her hair starting flail around, liking as it was the Nine-tailed Foxes tails. "And don't even think about trying to take my baby from me! I may be pregnant, but I am still the best Jonin in the village and the one who taught you Fūinjutsu. You don't think I removed your Flying Thunder God marker from me by now?!"
"And don't think about attacking her or having one of your pawns do it for you. I will protect her with all of my strength." Tsunade said punching her palm causing Minato to sweat a little.
'Damn it… if this gets out, I'll be done for! I can't even get rid of this whore with Tsunade here, she's too strong. She could destroy the village with a few well-placed punches. Not to mention that Kushina can and likely will put up a barrier around the house to keep unwanted people out, and if she really did remove my marker, then I can't keep her in the village by force anymore.' He thought, swearing up a storm on the inside before realizing something. 'FUCK! That night 3 months ago! That lightning storm!'
"So, high and mighty Zeus did this to teach me a lesson, and if I'm correct, he sent you to guard my whore of a wife." Minato said glaring at Tsunade who didn't even look surprised or acknowledge that he was right.
"Get off my house Minato. It was left to me by Lady Mito when she asked me to carry the Fox!" Kushina growled.
"Like hell!" He said charging up his Rasengan in a blind rage, forgetting about his fear before getting punched out of the house by the Slug Sannin.
"Tch I told him I'd defend you as long as I lived." She said dusting off her hands.
Shizune rushed in after hearing Minato being launched from the house. "Lady Tsunade! Lady Kushina! Is everything alright? What was that?"
"Things just got harder for us Shizune, Minato has discovered the plan." The Blonde woman sighed heavily before looking at Kushina. "How quickly can you set up a blood barrier for the 3 of us?"
"Assuming we aren't constantly bothered by every shinobi in the village, I can get it done in a few hours." The redhead said as the house's regenerative seals were working to fix the human-sized hole in the wall.
Tsunade nodded. "Alright, get dressed and get to work, I'll go stand watch out front, Shizune, you're on watch out back. Move it!"
On the other side of the village, Minato peeled himself out of the boundary walls with his personal ANBU appearing before him. "Lord Hokage, are you alright?!"
"Just get me to the hospital, and summon the rest of the ANBU. We must act quickly." The Yellow Flash seethed.
"Yes sir!" Dog said creating a Shadow Clone to carry out his orders.
[Konoha Hospital – 3 hours later]
All ANBU had been assembled and waiting to hear why they were summoned, and when the doctor gave the all-clear, they piled into the large room.
"Lord Hokage, who did this to you?" One ANBU asked frantically.
"Tsunade has turned her back on the village along with my wife. You are to kill the two of them as well as Shizune and anyone else that sides with them." Minato said in a pained voice. "Take them out on sight, but keep it a strictly ANBU OP."
While most ANBU acknowledged the order without hesitation, one in the back of the room thought something was off about this order. 'I need to get to the bottom of this… Lord Hokage is never this drastic and Kushina would never betray us.' She thought. This was a very curvy and busty woman with dark skin, long purple hair, wearing a cat ANBU mask, and standard ANBU uniform. She was probably the only female ANBU that hasn't given herself to the lecherous and insatiable Hokage of respect for the redhead. She saw her as a sister after saving her from rapists and getting her home.
"Dismissed!" The Hokage said as he laid in bed, the only ANBU to stay at his side was Dog.
"Sensei, are you sure about this? If we kill her, we risk unleashing the fox upon the village, and without another Uzumaki, we can't seal it again." The Silver-haired ANBU asked politely.
"I don't have a choice Kakashi, I will not be seen as a weak Kage that lets traitors go unpunished…" The blonde said tensely.
"If I may, what has she done?" Kakashi Hatake asked curiously.
Minato sighed and scanned the room before addressing his last remaining student. "This stays between us…" Getting a nod from his most loyal ANBU. "Kushina is pregnant with another man's child… and unfortunately it's no one I can target…"
"Who is it Sensei?" The Copycat Ninja asked.
"...Zeus. Seems the idiot thinks he can punish me by having my wife give birth to a bastard son. And while it's unclear as to whether or not the other 'gods' are in on this or not, if I can snip this in the butt before the child is born then their plan will backfire, and no one will know of Kushina's pregnancy." Minato explains.
"And Lady Tsunade and Shizune? What have they done?" Dog asked, trying to hide his concern for Shizune. The apprentice medic was someone he had a small crush on when they were kids before she left with the last Senju.
"They arrived the day of the freak thunderstorm 3 months ago, the same night I suspect that Zeus paid my wife a visit. I suspect those Olympian fools sent her to watch over Kushina as protection." Minato said before seeing the look of disbelief on his student's face. "Look, I know you hold a flame for Shizune, but her loyalty is to Tsunade first and foremost, and that old hag has no love for Konoha."
"...I understand." Kakashi said in a solemn tone knowing that his sensei was right before kneeling. "In any case. I wish to remain at your side for your protection."
"Very well…" The Yellow Flash sighed while cursing to himself, 'Kushina's probably got a barrier up by now, and knowing her craftiness, she'll make it so it can only be altered from the inside, meaning that the ANBU can't get them unless they leave for supplies. Damn it…'
[Meanwhile at the Uzumaki Residence]
At the same time, the ANBU were given their orders and were on their way, Kushina just finished the barrier only for the three of them to be on edge as they felt several ANBU heading their way.
"Kushina, activate it now!" Tsunade shouted.
But before she could, the second-fastest being in the village appeared in front of them. "Listen to her Kushina. Minato has ordered all 3 of your deaths for 'turning against the village.'"
Nodding, the redhead activates the blood seal before saying, "Let's go inside before the rest of the ANBU get here. We don't want to get her exposed for disobeying a direct order."
Once inside, the ANBU took off her mask to reveal her piercing yellow eyes, which took in her sister-in-all-but-bloods appearance. "I see, so that's why Minato is so upset. Who is the father?"
"Straight to the point as usual eh, Yoruichi?" Kushina sighed. "It's Lord Zeus', with Lady Hera's Blessing."
"I see, so that fool really pissed off the Gods huh?" The know named Yoruichi said with a smirk. "Serves that lecherous pig right. Well, you have my support as always Kushi."
The pregnant woman smiled and gave her friend a smile. "Thank you, Yoruichi… You've been a great friend. Just be careful, you're already on Minato's shit list for not giving yourself to him."
The dark-skinned beauty simply scoffed. "If it wasn't for your help, I'd be the fastest individual in this village. I'll be fine… especially since he hasn't figured out the irony of giving the Cat mask."
"Umm… Kushina. Who is this?" Tsunade asked clearly confused and not recognizing the woman in front of her and Shizune.
"Wait… that cocky attitude… those yellow eyes… You were always with Lady Kushina before we left the village. It's been quite sometime Lady Yoruichi." Shizune said with a big smile.
"Now I remember… Kushina brought you to me the night before we left after an attempted rape. Don't know how I could have forgotten that since you're probably the only dark-skinned person in the village." Tsunade said smacking her forehead.
"That's right, I joined ANBU shortly after that at the request of Lord 3rd for my protection. Though my loyalty will always be to Kushina for saving me that day." The purple-haired ANBU said with clear devotion in her voice.
Tsunade nodded. "That sounds like sensei, going out his way to make sure that someone unique is taken care of. And from what you said about irony, I'm guessing you have a special ability that involves cats."
With a smirk, Yoruichi seemingly disappeared in a plume of smoke and was replaced with a black cat with gorgeous glossy fur. If that wasn't enough to surprise the two medics, the masculine voice. "You're pretty sharp Lady Tsunade."
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Shizune shouted in shock.
However, Tsunade returned the smirk. "So that's why… people avoid black cats in general, and even if they heard you talking, they'd assume you were a male summoning cat."
Changing back into her human form, she nodded. "Yes, that's right, before you two, only Kushina and Lord 3rd know about my transformation."
"In any case, I'll add you to the barrier seal. But you should only come and go in your cat form to avoid being suspected out of helping us since the three of us have been labeled traitors." Kushina said with a sigh.
[Olympus – Chamber of the Gods]
All the Gods of Olympus were watching the entire events of that unfold with some amusement, especially Apollo who was shaking his head. "I can't believe we forgot about the one person that was already within Konoha that would do anything to protect Kushina."
"While this is true. Yoruichi is in a difficult position being under the direct command of that idiot." Athena said.
"Kushina, Tsunade and her apprentice are in a tight spot as well. They won't be able to leave that barrier without being attacked. And that woman can only help them so much without blowing her cover." Hera said with slight worry. She was starting to like this mortal woman, especially after standing up to her husband the way she did.
"Unfortunately, there is nothing more we can do aside from the precautions we have already set in place. We must trust the mortals to survive this." Zeus said with a sigh before turning to his wisest daughter. "How are your studies coming along?"
"I will be ready, especially since I found the specific seal I'll be working to maintain." She said with a smile before looking at one of her sisters. "Just be ready to help pacify that overgrown fox in 6 months."
"I know, I'll be ready." Artemis sighed.
"Both of you be ready. We need to ensure that our brother has his mother to help raise him properly. That will be the first step in ensuring the path to peace." Apollo said trying to keep his sisters from fighting.
"He's right. Once my son is born we can move on to the next stage of punishing Minato." Zeus said firmly before looking at his wife. "We also need to end that farce of a marriage before the child is born as well."
Hera scoffed and snapped her fingers, summoning the marriage certificate for the pair in question, and said "That isn't even an issue." before having it disintegrate in golden particles.
[Konoha]
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Minato felt his wedding ring shatter. "What the hell is going on? What happened to my ring?" He asked in a panic.
At the same time the ladies in the Uzumaki Residence, Kushina felt the same thing happen to her. "Thank you Lady Hera…" She said with tears in her eyes. She knew that she was now free from her marriage.
[6 months later]
The last 6 months had been hard. Yoruichi had taken to getting them a month's supply of food, as well Kushina's constant cravings for ramen and mint ice cream. During that time, Minato had been furious when he found his marriage certificate folder reduced to nothing but golden dust, a clear sign of intervention of that harpy everyone called Queen of the Gods. He had stepped up the pressure he put on his ANBU to kill Kushina, Tsunade, and Shizune and had given orders to kill anyone else who aided them in any way.
However, over the months, most of the ANBU caught on to the reason why their Hokage wanted his ex-wife dead. They watched the residence and say a very pregnant Kushina come out of the house to tend to her garden while Shizune took care of the yard. Many of them had families themselves and refused to harm a pregnant woman, even if that would mean treason. There were, of course, those completely blind in their loyalty and continued to try to find a way through the barrier. Even Jiraiya joined in on the hunt, even if Tsunade was on the opposing side.
It was a week ago that Kushina's contractions were getting really bad, and Yoruichi decided that was the time to resign and be there as extra protection. It was during this time that Athena and Artemis had made their appearance and told the mortal women of their part in the plan to teach Minato a lesson. This was a major load off of Kushina's mind even if she had been told about it from the beginning. Then again, it had been 9 months and that's a really long time for a pregnant woman.
It was during that week that Artemis worked with Kushina in an attempt to pacify the beast within.
[Flashback]
"Kushina, in order to help my sister with maintaining the seal as well as the stress on you, we need to talk with the fox and try to come to an understanding. Who knows, maybe we can get it to work with you. You want to be able to protect your son, right?" Artemis said coyly. "Working with the fox can help with you that."
"...I don't know… Lady Mito told me not to trust the fox and keep it locked up tight." Kushina said hesitantly.
"Listen to me. How you feel if you were put under a Genjutsu before being bound to a summoning contract, being used to fight again the man you call the 1st Hokage who had the ability to suppress your power, only to be sealed within his wife, then at the moment you thought you could escape and be free, you were transferred to someone else with a stronger lock in place." The Goddess of the Hunt explained.
"… I'd be ready to make my escape the first chance I get and destroy everything in my path to freedom and hate everything that is connected to those who have imprisoned me." Kushina sighed in defeat. "How do we do this…?"
"We need to go into the seal and talk with it. Just remember, the fox will likely be very angry and want nothing more than to kill you and get out of the seal. Keep your guard up." Artemis said with a serious expression.
Before she could blink, she found herself and Artemis standing in front of the Nine-tailed Fox, chained to a meteor over a volcano. Seeing its captor, the fox growled and started lashing out against the chains.
"LET ME DOWN FROM HERE SO I CAN GUT YOU LIKE THE WORTHLESS FLESH BAG YOU ARE!" The fox roared. "AND DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN CONTROL ME, 'GODDESS OF THE HUNT'"
"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that...Kurama." Artemis said with a grin and the fox lasted out at his name being revealed.
"How did you learn that name?!" Kurama growled.
"I've been around a lot longer than your 'father'. You don't think I didn't notice when a demon was split into 9 demons with animal traits? As long as you have those, you fall within my domain." She said earning another growl from the fox before turning to Kushina. "Kushina, change the scenery please, we aren't going to make much progress if he's strapped to a meteor-like that. How about a forest?"
Kushina nodded and focused. As she did, the area went from a smoldering volcano to a lush forest, Kurama locked in a cave big enough for him to stretch out and sleep comfortably on the floor, blocked by chakra chains with a whirlpool designed lock holding it all together.
"Well, not quite what I had in mind, but at least he now has the smell of nature and big cave to sleep comfortably within rather than being chained to a meteor all the time." The Goddess of the Moon said looking around the area. "So, will at least listen to what we have to say, Kurama?"
"Fine. But you don't need to say anything." The fox grumbled. "I swear on my father's grave I won't try to escape during the birth of your brother. I'd be a fool to anger the Gods… even if I did escape, my life wouldn't be 'free,' would it?"
"Actually, I would have asked you to protect my hunters and their forest from people that would cause them harm… but if you stay with Kushina and agree to at least attempt to get along and work together, the two of you together could help bring about the peace your father wanted." Artemis said with a shrug. "So, what do you say? Will you two work together? Or you try to escape and be my girls' protector?"
Hearing this Kurama was deep in thought, so was Kushina, but she voiced her thoughts. "Listen… I am willing to with you and my son to bring about peace. It may not be immediate, but I promise you that by the time my life span is done, I will find a way to safely remove you from me without killing me once we do bring the world a peace unlike any other."
"We'll give you til Kushina gives birth to decide. If you break out, then know which choice you've made." the patron Goddess of Nadeshiko Village said as she and Kushina left the redhead's mindscape, leaving the fox to make up his mind.
[Flashback End]
It was after that conversation that Athena told the three mortal women of the plan to expose Minato as a cuckold since they know he's kept his forced divorce a secret by wearing his academy ring as his wedding ring. They were going to rush Kushina to a public hospital and hope that Kurama made the right decision or else a lot of people were going to die.
One day while Kushina was doing dishes, having refused to just lay around being waited on hand and foot by others, she had the worse contraction yet, as well as hearing a splash of water hit the tile floor, she shouted at top of her lungs. "TSUNADE! MY WATER JUST BROKE!"
The two goddesses, medics, and former ANBU rushed in. "Tsunade, I will meet you at the hospital in the prepared room. Father and Lady Hera said they would be there for support as well. Now hurry, we don't have long and those black ops mortals will likely try to target you on the way there, so be careful. My sister will follow from the shadows with her bow." Athena said as she turned into an Owl and took off out the window.
"Let's hurry, this baby wants to come now!" Tsunade shouted as she picked up Kushina bridle style with Shizune close by for support and Yoruichi there to act as the vanguard.
On the way, 20 ANBU tried to kill the 4 women, only be killed by Shizune, Artemis, or Yoruichi, while 30 others held off 40 of Minato's loyalist ANBU. It looked and felt like the village was involved in a Civil War. But that's what they were trying to avoid, even if it was a possibility once news got out that Minato had angered the gods.
At the hospital, the poor receptionist who was on the last minutes of her shift got startled. "Lady Tsunade what is going on?!"
"No time for questions, I have a high priority patient going into labor, there should be a heavily fortified room prepared. Now out of our way. I will fill out the paperwork later!" Tsunade said while on the move with Shizune and Yoruichi close behind, and Artemis moving along the outside of the building to act as a guard until they reacted room.
Once there she materialized within, ready to take Kurama to the forests surrounding Nadeshiko Village. Zeus and Hera were there waiting, only this time they were suppressing their power in hopes of not alerting everyone in the village like Zeus did last time. Little did they know, that the child about to be born was going to do that for them.
"Lady Hera, Lord Zeus, we need to hurry. This child wants out and he wants out now!" The Slug Sannin said hastily. "Shizune get her on the table and help me with this delivery! Lady Athena, we're in your hands as well."
While everyone was working to bring the Demigod into the world, no one noticed an increasingly intense lightning storm raging outside, alerting Minato to the possibility that it was time for Kushina's bastard child to be born. However, he didn't exactly care at the moment as he was busy with Hana Inuzuka, mostly because Mebuki was also extremely pregnant, though he wasn't sure if it was his or that pink-haired fool that was always out the village on merchant business, even if the dirty blonde still came by daily.
After an hour of screaming and cursing, even Kushina crushing the edge of the table in a show of strength through extreme pain, the baby boy's cry sounded through the hospital room and down the hall leaving a very tired Kushina and a relieved group of Gods and humans, through Artemis had a smile on her face. 'I knew he'd chose to stay once I mentioned his father. Even so, I have to admit I was slightly worried. Kurama could have proved me wrong and chose to be my girl's guardian but not before hurting a lot of people.'
Kushina raised her head and weakly held out her arms. "Tsunade… give me my baby… Give me my Naruto…"
Tsunade simply smiled and nodded as she gentle handed over the red-headed baby boy while Athena was working to rebuild the seal. "Congratulations Kushina. Seems he is perfectly healthy and kept the Uzumaki genetic red hair."
Off the side, Zeus looked on with his wife hugging him and look up at him. "Are you sure you want your son to be named after a Ramen topping?"
Even weakened, Kushina's legendary tempered flared hearing this, however, she was as respectful as she could. "Lady Hera… Naruto also means Maelstrom…" She paused as she saw a flash of lightning out of the corner of her eye. "And judging from the light show outside, I think my son will take after his father in terms of power."
Having heard this they all looked out the window, with Zeus looking amused and the Goddesses' jaws to drop in shock. "Father, I thought you were suppressing your power!" Athena shouted after finishing the seal.
"I am. This is all your brother's doing." He grinned, overflowing with pride at the power his son was displaying.
"Well, I guess we don't need to worry about him being about to defend himself…" Kushina said softly before gasping. "Lord Zeus… He has your electric blue eyes."
Everyone turned back to see Naruto's eyes were indeed open, and were indeed electric blue, however, what shocked the Gods is that the child's eyes seemed to hold even more power as if electricity was literally dancing around his iris. Hera got out her shock first.
"Suddenly Apollo's prophecy is making a lot more sense… if young Naruto has this much power from birth… he could easily destroy the world if he so wanted to." Earning stiff nods from everyone in the room.
However, the reverence was short-lived as Kakashi aka Dog was at the door to the room, walking in without so much as a knock. "Lady Uzumaki, Lady Senju, Miss Katō, and Miss Shihōin, you and the newborn are required to appear before Lord Hokage immediately. I have strict orders to bring you myself, even if we need to wheel Lady Uzumaki there via wheelchair with an IV drip."
Hera was furious that this insect of a mortal barged in, and not only ignored her and her family but was demanding the recovering mother and her newborn child be brought before the piss ant they were punishing. "How dare you ignore us you pitiful mortal, and demand that these people be moved even though they are tired from their efforts to bring new life into the world!"
"I do not take orders from individuals that have no authority within this village, nor do I acknowledge those claim to be gods." The silver-haired ANBU said boldly causing the Patron Goddess of the Land of Fire to almost lose her temper.
Seeing this, Zeus put his hand on his wife's shoulder, as if to tell her "Not now," and addressed the cocky mortal with sparks flying from his eyes. "You claim we don't have authority here? Fine, but we will be accompanying these ladies and the child to ensure their safety. They were attacked on their way here after all."
'I better let them come or I'll be in for a world of hurt. I may not acknowledge them as Gods, but they are very powerful.' Kakashi thought to himself before nodding with a sigh before getting a good look at the newborn in his sensei's ex-wife's arms. 'That kid is going to be a problem in the future, but I can't make a move on him without being obliterated.'
After getting Kushina into a wheelchair and Naruto wrapped in a blanket to keep warm, the group made their way to the Hokage Tower. Along the way, Shinobi and civilians alike we in awe. After all, it wasn't every day they saw The Gods of Olympus walking through the streets with 4 mortal women and a young baby. All of them recognized the woman holding the child as the Hokage's wife and those that didn't agree with Minato's grandstanding and arrogant ego started whispering amongst themselves.
"Isn't that Lady Kushina? Why is she being escorted by the Gods?" One Jonin whispered.
"I don't know, but I highly doubt that child is the Hokage's, especially with all the girls that have been sleeping with him on a daily basis. If I had to guess, Lord Zeus there is making an example out of him, and if Lady Hera is with them, this is serious." A Chunin replied.
Amongst the crowds were the 3 families and two students, and they smirked at the thought of ruining Minato's name by spreading the word that he angered the gods to point that even Lady Hera agreed to make an example out of him through his wife.
Tsume even more so since she lost her daughter to that cheating pile of shit after trying to convince her to stop sleeping with the man, saying that he didn't actually care for her, but was using her like every other woman that has slept with him. Hana responded by slapping her, saying that she was wrong, that Minato loved her, that she was special to the man, and that if she didn't support her love life, then she wasn't worthy of being her mother and left with her three partner dogs and hasn't been back to the compound ever since.
Overhearing the whispers, the Gods smirked, knowing that the rumor mill has started and wouldn't be long before word spread throughout the world, while Kakashi was cursing his luck. 'Of course, people would pick this time to come out of their homes… the lightning storm has passed ever since that kid has fallen asleep. By morning word will spread about this and there will be nothing we can do about it.'
10 minutes later, the group was in Minato's office, with Mebuki and Hana standing on either side of the blond idiot. Minato seeing that the so-called "Gods" were in the room with his ex-wife, he knew he couldn't attack her or the bastard child without risking the lives of his concubines.
"Zeus, Hera, Athena, Artemis, to what honor does Konoha owe the pleasure of your presence?" He asked trying to sound polite, but to the Gods, it sounded smug and arrogant, not to mention disrespectful.
"You had better address us properly mortal, or the dirty blonde next to you will have her daughter come out with an extraordinarily large forehead without the brain the match it." Hera fumed, knowing that regardless of her threat that the child was going to a large forehead, but with the brain to match it.
"M-Minato dear, I think we should listen to them, please, for my daughter." Mebuki pleaded, making the Yellow Flash sigh in resignation.
"Forgive me, Lord and Ladies." Minato ground out as if respecting the individuals in front of him made him physically ill.
"To answer your question worm, we are here ensure the safety of my son and his mother and to inform you this is only the first of your punishments for your arrogance and actions. You have not only proclaimed you are better than us, but you trounced over your marriage by sleeping with not only these two whores, but multiple other women, and have personally destroyed our temples, as well as my wife's statue." Zeus said with authority.
"And what makes you think that I am afraid of you, or your punishments? I can make a law decreeing that no one can even whisper about Kushina being used to 'make an example out of me.'" Minato said calmly, showing that he wasn't intimated at all. "In fact, I've already sent word to the Land of Lightning, telling them that if they want a peace treaty between our two nations that I will send Kushina, who they have already tried to kidnap in the past and her bastard child to them as a gift wanting only their loyalty in return."
This made the gods and mortal women laugh, and Kakashi frown under his ANBU mask thinking to himself. 'Sensei, you're a fool… Zeus is the Patron God of that Country… Kushina and her son will be worshiped there'
"What is so funny?!" Mebuki raged.
"Your fool of a lover is an idiot." Artemis said with a smirk causing the pregnant women to get even angrier.
"Lady Artemis, what do you mean?" Hana asked with genuine confusion.
"Use your heads for a moment about what that man said and where he is sending his ex-wife." The green-haired goddess said with a smirk. "If you three can't figure it out, then it sucks to be you."
Tsunade picked this time to step up. "In any case, with Lord Hokage's discussion made, Shizune and I will be resuming our travels and cutting all ties to this village. We will be leaving first thing in the morning, which by the way, should be when Kushina is well enough to travel thanks to her Uzumaki healing factor coupled with my medical expertise."
"And since I resigned and have proof of your acceptance of it, I will be accompanying Kushina and her son. I have always been loyal to her above all else." Yoruichi said with a smirk.
"Now, if you'll excuse us." Athena said as she opened the door with Zeus showing his strength by lifting the wheelchair containing both Kushina and their baby with ease, and walking out the door with everyone following him, leaving three dumbfounded idiots behind along with a disappointed ANBU.
'What did they mean by I'm an idiot?' Minato thought, clearly not being able to come up with the answer.
[15 minutes later: Uzumaki Residence]
"Alright, we need to return to Olympus. If you are truly leaving at first light tomorrow, we will arrange for flight-enabled transports to meet you at the gate to ensure Naruto's safety. I imagine that when they realize that their beloved Hokage is sending to the one place that you two will live in luxury, they will send their forces to bring you back." Zeus said, earning nods of agreements from his wife and children.
Tsunade, Shizune, and Yoruichi nodded in agreement, however, they all saw Kushina seemed sad for some reason. "Milady, what's wrong?" Yoruichi asked softly.
"It's nothing. I'm just sad that I have to leave my home behind for a second time." She said quietly. "Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be getting away from Minato's influence, but I have mixed feelings about going to Kumo. They were 1/3rd of the forces that helped destroy my first home. Then they tried to kidnap me when I was in the academy here… I just don't know how to feel about this. I mean, I know that I and My son will be well taken care of there, but…"
Tsunade nodded and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We'll be fine. If they try to use you as a breeding machine, I'll level their village with my own hands."
"Thank you." Kushina said with a small smile. "Yoruichi, can I count on you to help Shizune and Tsunade pack everything? All the scrolls containing my family's jutsu, notes on Fūinjutsu, Kenjutsu, and my family's history. Leave behind any pictures containing that idiot and the furniture, but seal everything else up."
"I guess it's a good thing that we emptied your bank account when Minato sent the ANBU to try to kill us." Tsunade said with a grin.
"Yes it is, and don't even think about spending any of it at the gambling halls." The new mother teased, knowing that Tsunade hasn't been to a gambling hall since she arrived, and it seems Tsunade knew this since she just shrugged and got to work sealing everything with the other two.
Seeing that they weren't needed anymore, the gods simply vanished to make the preparations for the mortal's trip to the Land of Lightning.
[The Next Morning: Konoha's Gate]
It was barely sunrise, but Kushina her family, extended or not arrived at the front gates only to find Hermes sitting in a carriage with two Pegasus tethered to it.
Having sensed them Hermes jumped down from his seat and bowed. "It's an honor to meet you again Lady Tsunade, Miss Shizune. However, I do believe this is the first time we've met Lady Kushina, Miss Yoruichi. I am Hermes, and I will be your driver to your new home." He said before noticed the tuft of red hair sticking out of the blankets Kushina was holding. "And this must be my new brother. I look forward to getting to know him over the years."
"Nice to meet you again Hermes. I figured it'd be you Lord Zeus sent." Tsunade said with a smile.
"Lady Tsunade… you really should show him some respect." Shizune chided.
"Oh don't worry about it." Hermes waved it off before opening the carriage door. "Well, shall we be off? It'll take us a few days if not a week to reach our destination, depending on weather and young Naruto needing to be changed."
"Thank you for your help Hermes." Kushina said with her usual bright foxy smile before climbing in with her son securely in one arm with the other women following close behind.
'So, this is goodbye Konoha… Take care of yourself, my dear friends, and students. I hope we can meet again someday.' Kushina thought as she looked out the window with a sad smile, not knowing that not only would she meet them again, nor that something that would cause Konoha to become a massive target for invasion and annihilation.
AN: That's it! The first chapter of this story is done! I hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Now if any of you have questions, feel free to ask me in PM, especially now that email notifications are working again! The next update for this story may not be for a while, but I will not abandon this or any of my other stories that are still active.
Now if you're wondering about pairings, I think I'm gonna keep this a solo pairing, especially since I want Naruto to remain on Hera's good side. That being said, I am open to suggestions. While I will be bringing in other characters from other franchises, I want to keep the pair limited to the Narutoverse girls. However, I will CONSIDER another girl outside of Naruto IF you provide me with a very good, detailed reason why you think they should be with Naruto.
