Kushina Uzumaki
Uzushiogakure: 7:00PM
Kushina was happy, happier than she's been in a while. She'd just spend the entire day alone with Naruto. No pesky younger sister that wanted something, and no teasing mother. Just the two of them with their undivided attention on each other. But all good things come to an end eventually, though they were doing more of this in the future.
Now she was seated beside Naruto as they waited for their meal. The restaurant they were in was quaint and was the hotspot for many other couples. Though none of that mattered as she stared at Naruto with wide eyes from what he had told her.
"You've trained with one of the Elemental Five?" she said in awe as Naruto just looked at her strangely and nodded.
The Elemental Five were without a doubt the best swordsmen and women in all of Uzushiogakure. Hell, maybe they were the best in all of the Elemental Nations. Each member of the Elemental Five had specialized in one of the five main chakra natures.
All five of their blades had been crafted from the metal of a large fallen meteorite. The metal was supposedly incredibly strong, and absurdly light compared to ordinary steel. There were also rumors that the metal conducted chakra twice as well, empowering the users' abilities. All in all, they were nothing like the brutish swords of Kirigakure.
"I don't really know if you can call it training though," grumbled Naruto as he sipped on his sake.
She frowned as she watched him sip on the beverage. She'd done her own studies on how some Ninja picked up a quirk to help cope with day to day life. It had never failed to make her sad. Knowing that Naruto who was only a year older than her had already fought in one of the bloodiest conflicts in their history. He'd probably seen and done things she couldn't imagine. Yet he was still one of those most caring people she knew.
"Hey Kushina-chan... are you alright?" asked Naruto as he put his hand over hers and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"I'm fine... just thinking," she replied with a smile trying to dismiss his worries. With how he narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, she could tell she hadn't convinced him. "So how was the training?"
"It was fun, training always is. Though that lady doesn't know how to hold back," said Naruto with a pout as he rubbed one of his shoulders. "Mind telling me what's on your mind?"
"I... I'm just worried about you Naruto." he looked like he was about to say something but stopped when she raised her hand. "You've been drinking a lot more lately, and you're having trouble sleeping. Three years ago you promised that you'd tell me everything. Now I want you to tell me, I'm tired of you bottling everything up." she said adamantly.
Naruto just stared at her with those violet eyes. His face was blank, not portraying any emotion. She was beginning to get worried when he looked away from her. He let out a heavy sigh as he slumped back into their booth.
"Knowing that you care that much, helps me out a lot more than you know," said Naruto as his gaze softened. "It's just that when I think of the things I can do with these hands, the things I've done. It scares me, I might do something I didn't mean to. I might hurt you, Sensei, or your Mother," he continued as he looked down at his clenched fists.
Taking his larger hands into her own. She looked at him and gave him a warm smile.
"Well, you don't need to be scared about any of that Naruto. I know you'll never hurt me or anyone else you love. You're one of the strongest people I know, not just as a Ninja, but as a person. I just wanted you to know, that I'm here for you, no matter what happens." she said with a bright smile.
Naruto was giving her a strange look all of a sudden like she'd grown a second head. "W-what is it?"
"Nothing... you're just. Much more mature," replied Naruto as he smiled slightly.
"You're not the only one who's maturing dattebane," huffed Kushina indignantly. Here she was trying to help him and he was questioning her maturity!
Naruto let out a laugh of mirth that erased any ire she held for him at the moment. He had that grin she had seen so very rarely when they were kids.
"Thank you Kushina," said Naruto as he calmed down a bit. "Though I think you're maturing just fine y' know." there was a suggestive manner in which he said that that made her cheeks flare up.
Couple that with how his eyes roamed over her body made her do a double-take as her eyes widened with surprise. She knew she had been growing much more in certain... areas. But by kami that was bold! Bolder than he's ever been before.
"I-I uh." stuttered Kushina, she was sure her entire face was as red as her hair. Her heart was beating so fast she was sure it might beat right out of her chest. She hid her face in her arms as she averted her eyes from him.
"I'll be sure to complement you more like that if you do this more often. Seeing this side of you is cute too." said Naruto, compared to how he sounded before his voice was full of mirth and joy.
"Only when we're alone." her voice came out as a whisper but she was positive Naruto heard it. People had complimented her all the time on her looks. Though she could care less about what they said. Hearing it from the man who constantly plagued her dreams did things to her. "Kiss me"
"What? I thought you just said to only do stuff like that when we're alone."
"I said kiss me right now dattebane," said Kushina as she leaned close to his face, her cheeks were burning as she felt his hot breath on her lips.
Naruto looked around for a moment, she assumed he was making sure the coast was clear. They were in the corner of the restaurant away from all the prying eyes.
Then he kissed her. As soon as his lips met hers she couldn't keep the moan from escaping her throat. They'd kissed before but dear kami, it had never felt this good. She deepened the kiss, eager to sate the hunger she felt boiling in her belly. She tentatively swiped her tongue against his lips and soon felt his tongue meet hers. A shudder went up to her spine as she tasted him, she was glad she was sitting down because her legs had suddenly felt like jelly.
When Naruto pulled away from the mind-numbing kiss, she felt cold without his affection. She could still taste him on her lips as they stared at each other. His violet eyes had gazed into her indigo eyes, they were filled with a mixture of love and hunger. Her heart was racing, not even the most intensive training had made it beat this fast.
"Hey, Kushina why don't we leave now? There's this place I want to show you before the sun goes down," said Naruto huskily.
"Only if I can get a kiss or two like that when we get there," she replied with a sultry voice.
"As my Hime commands," replied Naruto as he pecked her lips.
Kushina just stared at him as he pulled away from their kiss and stepped out of the booth to pay for the tab. She rested one of her hands against her chest and felt her racing heart. The kiss was great, but what he had just called her, she was his princess. Naruto had unknowingly fulfilled one of her fantasies.
When he got back to their booth he offered her a hand which she gladly took.
"You better keep calling me that "ttbane," she told him as they both walked out of the restaurant. All she got in return was his wonderful laughter.
Naruto Uzumaki
30 Minutes Later
"Another one?" asked Naruto as Kushina pulled him down and pecked him on the lips.
Ever since their first real kiss at the restaurant, she was carrying herself differently. She had much more confidence in her body, or at least that's what he thought. Every now and again she'd break away from leaning on him to walk in front of him. She'd do twirls and act like a goofball. Sometimes she'd sway her hips and flash him a sultry smile, damnit she knew what she was doing. His pants were becoming unbearably uncomfortable. Thankfully she only did it when it was just the two of them on the street if someone else saw her doing that. Suffice to say they wouldn't live much longer.
"So~ where are we going?" asked Kushina in a sing-song voice as she pressed her growing bosom onto his arm.
"Nowhere in particular," he replied attempting to suppress a groan.
"Mou~ I thought you wanted to take me somewhere?" said Kushina with a pout.
"We're nearly there Hime," he said, he took great delight in seeing her cheeks heat up again when he called her that.
Kami she was so beautiful. There was something about the beauty of every single woman in the Uzumaki clan that seemed otherworldly. Though when he looked at Kushina, Mayumi, and Akane. He was breathless, they were all beautiful in their own ways. Though he felt the most connected to Kushina... if he was born ten years earlier he definitely would've fallen in love with Mayumi or Akane. Kami knows they both deserved it.
After losing her husband, Akane was left to raise two kids all by herself. She had focused all her efforts on Kushina and Misaki. She had practically adopted him as well. But Familial love was one thing, having a partner, someone you considered your equal. She hadn't sought out another person after losing her first husband.
Mayumi was another case entirely. While both she and Akane had fought in the first Shinobi war. Akane had found someone to lean on and eventually love... unlike Mayumi. Like him, she was an orphan at birth. He had known the pain of being alone all too well.
Someone as selfless as Akane and someone as kind as Mayumi didn't deserve any of what happened to them. He'd have to talk to Kushina about finding someone for the two of them. They deserved better, and he'd make sure to whatever was in his power to deliver it.
Snapping out of his thoughts Naruto took in their surroundings.
They were crossing over a small bridge now. They must've finally made it to the park he wanted to show to her. It was located on the outskirts overlooking Uzushiogakure. The setting sun lit up the sky with its bright reds and oranges. It made for a truly breathtaking sight as the beautiful sky reflected off of the water. Looking towards Kushina he smiled when he saw that she was equally enamored by the view.
"I've been thinking Kushina." he began as she turned at the sound of his voice.
"What've you been thinking about," asked Kushina curiously as she tilted her head.
"I'm going to ask the Uzukage for some leave. There's been something I've wanted to do for a while now. Kushina, you know there isn't a single thing in this world that I wouldn't do for you. You've always been there for me one way or another, and I hope it's been the same for you," taking a deep breath he looked her straight in the eyes. "Kushina Uzumaki, would you make me the happiest man on this planet and become my wife?"
Kushina just stood back at him with her mouth agape. She brought her hands up to cover her mouth as tears began streaming out of her eyes. He couldn't help but feel anxious about her answer.
"Yes~!" shouted Kushina as she lept right into his arms. "You're all I've ever wanted dattebane."
He couldn't stop the smile from coming onto his face as the two of them spun around. It felt like a weight was lifted off of him as soon as she said yes. Kushina kissed him and hugged herself even tighter to him. As she pulled away he saw the tears streaming down her beautiful face and that breathtaking smile.
"I'm not dreaming am I?" said Kushina as she wiped away some of her tears, she seemed like she couldn't tell if she wanted to laugh or cry.
"If you are I'll ask you to marry me when you wake up," he replied as he kissed her on the forehead.
(A/N: I know it's cheesy but I couldn't help myself.)
Kushina just tried to bury herself into his chest further in response. Kissing her on the head Naruto took in her natural smell of sweet peas. Today was definitely one of the happiest days of his life. Everything he had gone through, finally felt worth it.
"We have to go tell Kaa-chan, she's going to go crazy. Oh, Kami we're going to have plan everything. I'll have to invite Mei-chan and everyone." said Kushina excitedly.
"One thing at a time Kushina-hime," he said with a smile.
"If you say so Naruto-koi," she replied with a radiant smile.
Hearing Kushina refer to him like that made his heart swell with joy. She really was an angel sent to him by Kami. He promised himself that he'd protect that smile, no matter the cost.
As they still remained together, he began noticing things. They were small but being a Ninja meant keeping attention to detail. The sounds of the nearby city were gone, the birds had stopped chirping.
He was pretty sure someone had just erected a barrier around them.
Reaching out with his sensory abilities. They were faint but there were four of them. They definitely weren't some genin playing a prank, the barrier was too sophisticated for that. A bead of sweat went down his face when he felt three of them surround him, the fourth was now... below him?
Holding tightly onto Kushina, he searched for one of his few markers in all of Uzushiogakure and they both disappeared in a crimson flash.
Leaving behind four stunned Shinobi.
He landed on the floor of wherever he teleported with Kushina on top of him. He quickly took in their surroundings and let out a sigh of relief when he realized they were at their shared home. He sensed Akane in the room with them, along with Misaki and Mayumi just downstairs.
"You okay Kushina?" he asked as he looked down at Kushina who was staring at him funny.
"Yeah well... this position is kind of awkward I guess?" she said as she shifted around.
He quickly realized that she was sitting right on top of his lap as he rested on the ground. Sitting up, Kushina quickly got off of him with a noticeable blush on her face. He would've smiled if he wasn't thinking about their recent predicament.
"What's this about proposing I hear?" asked a rather excited voice from around the corner. "Also, why are you two on the floor, and why is Kushina flustered?"
He just let out a groan as he quickly got off of the ground.
"Kaa-chan!" shouted Kushina as she flung herself into her mother's side. "Naruto and I are getting married!" chirped Kushina excitedly.
"Hey, can we go downstairs and talk to Mayumi about this as well?" he asked as the two of them nodded.
As the three of them walked down the stairs. They were greeted with the sight of Mayumi playing with Misaki. His teacher was making funny faces as Misaki laughed at her. He would've smiled at the sight but he was worried.
"Sensei," he said seriously gaining everyone's attention. "We need to go to the Tower."
"What're you talking about Naruto?" asked Akane with a confused expression.
Naruto began explaining the situation and about the four people he had sensed in the park.
"You're sure Naruto?" asked Mayumi with a serious expression as she bounced Misaki on her leg.
KA-BOOM
An ear-shattering explosion interrupted him before he could respond. Smaller explosions followed after it, whatever it was must've happened outside the walls. As they all walked outside, his ears were greeted with the familiar sounds of battle in the distance.
"We're definitely going to the tower now," said Mayumi as she handed Akane Misaki.
Emergency sirens began blaring around them. That blaring noise filled Naruto with a sense of dread. The only reason they were supposed to be used in the case of an attack or a major natural disaster. With the sounds of fighting going on he was sure it was the latter of the two.
The five of them all took to the roofs of the buildings around them, avoiding the streets below that were full of civilians being evacuated towards their designated bunkers by Genin.
All around them Ninja from Uzushiogakure took to the roofs, he could see ANBU teams mobilizing. As soon as he got them to safety. He was going to join the fight to repel whatever invader thought it was a good idea to invade their home.
And he thought today was going to be a great day.
Mito Uzumaki
Konohagakure - Present time
Mito let out a frustrated sigh as she paced back and forth throughout her bedroom. Being restricted to the Senju compound was driving her insane with boredom. She'd done nearly everything there was to do, from reading books to messing around with various sealing arrays. She wished Tsunade was here with her, she was a great drinking partner.
But her Granddaughter, the last remanent of her direct family. Had been discreetly summoned by the Hokage on urgent notice. For the Hokage to send an ANBU of his own to summon her meant bad news. Once again her family was caught up in some firestorm, she was sure of it.
All throughout the day, there had been a foreboding feeling in her gut that she couldn't shake off no matter what she did. It was similar to the feeling she felt on the day Nawaki died. Was that what it was? Had she just lost Tsunade as well?
She shook her head, trying in vain to rid herself of such thoughts. Tsunade was considered one of the most powerful Shinobi of their time. Yet that did little to comfort her, the world they lived in was cruel and unpredictable.
The simplest of missions could take an ugly turn quickly. It was a fact most Genin who survived their first mission outside of their villages learned quickly. The unlucky ones, like her Grandson, Nawaki had never got the chance. To this day she still hadn't recovered entirely from his death, solely because it had never sat right with her.
When her health allowed her too, she trained Nawaki personally, as did Tsunade. While he wasn't a genius or one in a generation prodigy, he wasn't by any means an idiot. Though he was clever, he learned quickly and soaked up knowledge like a sponge.
She'd used various traps on him throughout his training, he was able to see through most of them. A simple explosive trap shouldn't have killed him, it would've wounded him at most. He also had the prodigy of the Sannin, revered by all of Konoha as his Teacher. Orochimaru, the snake summoner, who was considered one of the smartest Ninja in Konoha.
With one of the most intelligent and powerful Shinobi guiding Nawaki, he'd surely return the Senju clan to its former glory. Danzo had persisted that Orochimaru would be Nawaki's mentor. Hiruzen had agreed with him wholeheartedly, having one of the most powerful clans make a return would bolster Konoha's strength even more. Solidifying them as the strongest Nation.
After meeting the man who would be her Grandson's mentor for the foreseeable future. She knew for a fact she didn't like him, nor did she trust him. Personally, she requested that an Uzumaki would teach Nawaki instead. There wasn't a single Uzumaki alive in existence that would betray or harm family, no matter the circumstances. Hiruzen and the rest of the council had flat out refused her proposition. Regardless of the alliance, they had with Uzushiogakure, they said having a foreign village teaching one of their clan heirs would make them be perceived as weak.
Soon after Nawaki had become Orochimaru's student he became distant. Always being called out to train, whenever he had a day off he was completely exhausted. Whatever training Orochimaru was throwing at him must've been draining.
Call it a Grandmother's intuition but after a while, when he was awake Nawaki had looked like he wanted to tell her something. Though he always refrained from doing so. What worried her was that he would lie to her. He'd never lied about anything serious, but she could tell when he lied. Coupled with the fact that he was her Grandson and after the sealing of the Kyuubi, she was able to sense emotions rather well, though sensing negative emotions was much much easier.
Someone suddenly knocking on her door made her tense up. Being a sensor and an expert in barrier fuinjutsu. She was able to sense everyone around her, and the only people she sensed were the ANBU that Hiruzen had station outside.
'Awfully useless bastards.' thought Mito bitterly as she summoned her chakra chains.
Whoever dared to sneak into her home, and knock on the door. They must've been an idiot. Though if they were able to make it past the ANBU guards outside she wouldn't take them lightly. Underestimating your opponents was one of the worse things you could do.
The door was pushed open and she blinked in surprise when she saw a familiar beautiful face and blonde hair. "Tsunade-chan?" said Mito, a look of surprise on her face. She was one of the last people Mito had expected to see.
"Hey, Baa-chan..." said Tsunade dryly, not even noticing the chakra chains that Mito had summoned.
That's when she noticed her Granddaughters face. It was obvious she had just been crying, a lot. Though deep in those hazel eyes she could see and feel the anger coursing through her Granddaughter.
While normally she would've assumed something had just happened with her new boyfriend. Tsunade always had an anger streak. This was different.
"Baa-chan... there's something I need to tell you."
What Tsunade had told her next had filled her with such fury it even surprised the tailed beast residing in her stomach.
Akane Uzumaki
Uzushiogakure - 1 hour later
The familiar stench of battle flooded her nostrils as she exchanged blows with a Nin from Kiri. The man was skilled she'd give him that. But he hadn't been trained since the moment he could walk. She was a princess from the Uzumaki clan, she'd been trained in nearly every Ninja art since childhood.
Channeling wind chakra throughout the blade of her katana. She quickly took the man by surprise and overpowered him. Slicing through the man's own Katana, she slashed at his chest. The wind coated blade cut through the man's armor and deep into his chest. Blood sprayed from the wound as she kicked the now lifeless corpse away from her, adding to the bodies piling onto the ground.
"We're not going to be able to hold much longer!" she shouted as she began fighting yet another Ninja.
"The signal hasn't been given yet!" shouted Mayumi back to her as her best friend cut down her opponent.
The defenders on the walls surrounding the village had bought them much needed time. Though it wasn't nearly enough, the sheer amount of Ninja that Kumo and Kiri had brought overwhelmed them. For every Ninja of their own, Kiri and Kumo had brought ten of their own. At least that's what it felt like.
A loud horn blared in the distance catching the attention of all the Shinobi from Uzushiogakure.
'There's the signal!' thought Akane as she dashed out of the way of a lightning Jutsu.
Just as Akane and her fellow Shinobi began retreating, dozens of kunai's with explosive tags landed all around them.
Acting quickly she grabbed Mayumi and threw a scroll onto the ground below and began channeling chakra into it.
"Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu: Protective Barrier." thought Akane, summoning a small barrier around her and Mayumi.
The explosive tags went off a moment later, kicking up debris sending it flying. The Shinobi around them who weren't able to summon their own defenses had all perished. Little to nothing remained of them.
As the barrier around them diminished she was greeted with a nauseating smell.
Though she had little time to dwell on that as she could hear the hostile Ninja begin closing in on what remained of them.
As the dust cleared her eyes widened at the amount of Ninja who stood in front of her. There had to be at least two hundred of them. They'd be overwhelmed in seconds.
'Looks like I won't be at your weddings Kushina and Misaki... sorry.' thought Akane bitterly as she glared at all the Ninja before her.
Just as the two forces were about to clash a series of blood-curdling screams earned the attention of everyone.
Upon a roof stood twelve Shinobi in strange armor that she'd never seen before. It was a form-fitting grey plate armor that covered their chest, shoulders, arms, thighs, and shins. They were wearing black fabric under all of it. Unlike most Ninja, they also wore helmets, the helmet had a T shaped visor that was colored black.
All in all, they were intimidating. Considering they were all covered in muck and blood from a previous battle. She could barely make out the Uzushiogakure insignia on their chest.
Though one of them stood out from the rest. Parts of their armor, namely the shoulder pieces and part of their chest plate was colored dark red. This one, in particular, was holding a Shinobi from Kirigakure by the throat, electrocuting them.
That display of brutality angered most of the Nin from Kirigakure as the battle soon started.
What she hadn't expected was the twelve shinobi on the roof jumping straight into the fray. The Nin from Kiri practically ignored them as they focused on the new threat. She and the remaining Ninja around her were about to join in on the battle but a raised hand from Mayumi halted them.
The result was a massacre. Most of the strangely armored Shinobi worked in tandem. Using various jutsus to thin out the hoard of Shinobi before them. Their armor protected them from attacks that would've gone straight through the armor that they were distributed.
The crimson armored Shinobi was in the thick of it wielding two katanas. They were channeling lightning chakra through the blades as they cut through a dozen of Shinobi with such ease it was terrifying. In a matter of minutes, all that was left of the Ninja from Kirigakure was a group of at least ten who surrendered.
All the Ninja including her stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, all except Mayumi at least. The twelve Ninja had just cut down a small army with ease. And none of them appeared to have suffered any life-threatening wounds.
"W-who are they?" a Shinobi behind her asked out loud.
The Shinobi with crimson armor was communicating silently with hand signs to the rest of their squad. Immediately the group of Shinobi scattered to accomplish whatever task was assigned to them. They then turned around to face them, whoever was behind the helmet stared at her for a moment before nodding their head at Mayumi.
"C'mon he wants to talk to us." said Mayumi as she walked towards the Shinobi.
She followed after her best friend and soon they stood before the man. He was only a couple inches taller than her, around Naruto's height. He also had Naruto's build.
"So Naruto... how's it looking out there? asked Mayumi anxiously, she did well to hide the fear in her voice... wait what NARUTO?
She stared wide-eyed at the person before her. She had expected Naruto to be a rather strong Shinobi after three years, hell he held the record for being the youngest Jonin in Uzushio. She hadn't expected that the boy she raised all those years ago, would cut down dozens of people with ease.
"Well." came a muffled voice she knew all too well. "The Hurricane of Kiri is dead... Kirigakure's in full retreat now after that," said Naruto gesturing to the battlefield behind him.
Naruto removed his helmet and looked her dead in the eyes and opened his mouth to say something but hesitated. Something was wrong, he never hesitated to say what was on his mind.
"Your mother was the one to kill him Akane Oba-san... she's in critical condition," said Naruto as he looked at the ground.
She suddenly lost all the feeling in her legs as she began her descent to the ground. She would've fallen if Naruto hadn't caught her. He had wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him.
"I know you two were close... I'm sure she'll be fine though. Your Father had the best medics assigned to her." Naruto whispered in her ear as he brushed a stray tear that went down her face. "Akane... I want you to Kushina and Misaki and get the hell out of here. Sensei and I have already talked about it. She along with a squad of my Ninja will protect you. Go to someplace like Wave country and lay low."
Akane's head snapped up as she glared at Naruto. Her fierce indigo eyes met his unrelenting violet orbs.
"I won't leave you here either... you're part of my family too idiot," she said harshly. "Whatever happens here, we go through it together," she said in a much softer tone as she reached up and held Naruto's hand against her cheek.
"I told you she'd say that you idiot," said Mayumi as she began laughing. Her best friend gently smacked Naruto upside the head causing her to let out a small giggle.
Despite the current situation she couldn't help but laugh at seeing Naruto flustered. He had always been cool and composed.
"You're both so damn stubborn," said Naruto as he broke eye contact with her. "I guess that's another reason why I love you two as well." he whispered to himself though she heard it clearly.
She couldn't help the blush that burned her cheeks. Regardless of how old she was, being held by someone who had made you feel safe and secure. Then having them say they love you.
"I might just have to steal you from Kushina-chan," she said with a teasing voice, the smirk on her face grew when she saw how flustered he became.
"Alright, you two that's enough, there's still a battle to win," said Mayumi who tried but failed to hide her blush.
Seems like she heard Naruto's confession too.
Naruto helped her to her feet as she checked over her gear. As she looked at Naruto she couldn't help the ominous feeling that grew in her chest. As bad as it sounded, she wasn't that worried about her mother anymore. It'd take more than the right hand of Kirigakure to the old bat.
Looking at the crimson-haired man in front of her. She saw the hero that she had longed for. She had thought that it was her husband. But he had never made her feel like Naruto had.
"Hey, Naruto could you promise me one thing?" she said suddenly getting the young Jonin's attention. "Don't do anything crazy."
Naruto merely gave her a grin before saying the one thing she didn't want to hear.
"Weren't you the one that taught me not to make a promise I couldn't keep?"
