The Mages Of The Leaf
AN: Hello everyone how's it going this hot weekend…? I hope I'm not bothering anyone today with this update.
But enough of this let's get on with this chapter 12
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
-Last Time- -Uzumaki main household-
As they got closer Wendy grew nervous and thought that they might not like her or that she would just be a burden. Though those thoughts stopped when she saw Naruto smiling down at her.
When they were at the front door Naruto opened it and what she saw inside made here freeze since there in front of her were four women with four babies on the ground with an older looking red-head on the ground making faces at the babies.
''Whose grandma kushina's little boy who is it, it's you.'' Wendy couldn't believe that her papa already had other children since he looked really young.
''Hey there mom, Erza, Mira, Temari, Mavis how's it going?'' Naruto made himself be known making the five mentioned girls smile at him.
''Naruto/Honey, welcome home.'' The five said but before anything else happened Naruto motioned towards little Wendy who was hiding behind his legs.
''Everyone say hello to my new adopted daughter Wendy… go ahead Wendy say hi.'' Naruto whispered the last part to her making her nod and walk forward.
''HI everyone my Name is Wendy and I'm ten years old.'' Wendy bowed to them making Naruto chuckle.
Just when they were all gonna say hi Kushina appeared before Wendy and hugged her.
''Yay another grandchild to spoil rotten… come on Wendy I'm gonna take you shopping right now for anything you want.'' With that Kushina was gone with Wendy to who knows where.
''Looks like Wendy won't have to try very hard to get people to like her huh honey.'' Erza said while taking his hand and leading him to the dining table where supper was waiting.
''Guess not hahaha.'' Naruto laughed and soon the table was filled with laughter and joy.
-Now—Uzu town center-
Down in the town center Kushina was dragging little Wendy around shops and showing off Wendy to anyone that bothered to listen. While they were walking around Kushina noticed that Wendy was carrying around a rather big pink striped egg with her and wondered what it was.
''Hey Wendy what's that you have with you?'' Kushina asked with a smile.
''I don't know… I was walking around the forest one day looking around when this fell on me and when I picked it up I heard a strange sound in the sky and looked up to see a giant vortex in the sky… I blacked out and woke up in the middle of this dense forests were pa-papa's men found me.'' Wendy explained still a little hesitant on calling Naruto papa.
''I see, well how about we go see a medic and have it checked out to make sure nothing is wrong with it.'' Kushina suggested while smiling at her again
''Ok Kushina.'' Wendy replied.
''No you will call me grandma kushina or mama kushi ok.'' Kushina scolded her softly.
''Ok I understand gra-grandma.'' Wendy said while looking at her shoes again in embarrassment.
With that the two set out to the hospital were the one Kushina spoke of was currently. On their way to the hospital the two went into a flower shop were Wendy started to look around at the many different flowers she had never seen. They left the store with a small banquet of roses to as Wendy said 'give to my new mama's'.
When they reached the hospital they entered and walked up three flights of stair to the third floor and walked down a brightly lit corridor to a door at the far end of the hallway.
Kushina went to the door and knocked on it waiting for the permission to enter the room.
''Enter!'' the voice of a young woman answered and soon both entered and Wendy was a little scared since she wasn't much of a social person.
Wendy hid behind Kushina since she was scared of meeting new people but when her eyes landed on the person inside she couldn't help but stare.
The woman was beautiful in her opinion not what men would call smoking hot or sexy but just plain attractive in an innocent kind of way. The woman in question had short black hair that reached her neck and a slightly tan skin tone. She wore a skirt that reached just above her knees but still looked comfortable enough to move around and a slightly skin tight navy blue blouse that showed of her modest chest size while not being overly provocative. She also had a doctor's lab coat on and was wearing what looked like heels that looked like the one's her new grandmother was wearing only fancier. The woman was also wearing glasses and was reading a chart while standing in front of a chalk board writing something on it that Wendy's young mind couldn't understand.
''Hello Shizune how have thing been for you lately?'' Kushina smiled while asking.
''Oh Lady Kushina hello, and well things have been a little stressful for me so I haven't had time to go and visit the little one.'' Shizune answered while bowing at her waist at her.
''It's quiet alright Shizune, Naruto told us about how you recently made a breakthrough in the whole supplement regeneration pill he had you research.'' Kushina asked.
''Yes actually I was just finishing the final touches here on my chalk board for the prototype formula… I just hope this works, because if it does than all our ninja won't have to worry about injuries since with this pill they would recover from injuries that take weeks to recover from in a matter of second or even minutes.'' Shizune explained with glee.
''Well what about the bigger injuries eh Shizune?'' Kushina asked liking the sound of this pill more and more.
''Well that's where we hit a wall… we can't find a way around that small problem yet but we're trying our best to find a way and soon we might have actually found a way to grant our men and women brief immortality just like Lady Tsunade's Yin Seal.'' Shizune said with a small smile at remembering Tsunade.
''Tsunade would be proud of you Shizune.'' Kushina smiled at her
After taking a moment of silence to honor Tsunade and all that she had worked for Kushina put her hand on top Wendy's head and looked at Shizune with a smile.
''Shizune I would like you to meet my newest granddaughter Wendy.'' Kushina said with a huge smile.
''It's a pleasure to meet you Wendy… you could call me your aunt or auntie Shizune ok.'' Shizune said
''It's a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Shizune… I-I mean aunt Shizune.'' Wendy corrected herself when she saw Shizune give her a small glare at the miss comment.
''So did you just bring her here to introduce us or is there something else you needed Lady Kushina.'' Shizune asked while putting down her chart and sitting down behind her desk and bring out from one of her drawers a bottle of Sake much like Tsunade once did.
''It seem like you picked up more than just medical expertise from Tsunade huh?'' Kushina teased making Shizune blush while removing her glasses.
''It's not like that I only drink when I'm stressed out.'' Shizune tried to deny but the blush on her face said otherwise.
''Yea right… but anyways we also came here because Wendy here found this egg that literally fell from the sky onto her and we were wondering if you could do a checkup since the veterinary isn't finished yet.
''Sure just leave it here and tomorrow you can come by again and take it.'' Shizune told them making them nod.
''Ok then come on Wendy leave her your egg I promise you she'll take great care of it... isn't that right Shizune.'' With that Kushina gave Shizune a smile that looked a little too sweet.
''Yes of course I will take great care of it for you.'' Shizune responded
Wendy then walked forward and laid the egg on Shizune's desk making her eye the egg with surprise at the size but other than that nothing else.
''Ok well come back tomorrow around noon and I'll tell you what I find ok.'' Shizune said while taking the egg and leading them to the front of the hospital.
On the way there they saw Shizune enter a room and came back on empty handed which meant she left the egg there.
''Ok well thanks for your time Shizune and don't worry I'm sure you'll solve the whole issue with the pill soon.'' Kushina said while standing at the front entrance of the hospital.
''Thank you Lady Kushina and I hope so too… well good bye and please tell the others I'll try and visit them soon.'' Shizune said with a bow and then waving good bye at them.
''Sure thing Shizune… come on Wendy I'm sure you're hungry and tired so we'll go home to get you something to eat and then you can settle up and go to sleep ok.'' Kushina said while looking at Wendy and watching her yawn while rubbing her eyes so cutely that Kushina just wanted to squeeze her to death.
''Ok Grandma.'' Wendy said while continuing to rub her eyes to try and keep herself awake.
-15 minutes later- Uzumaki Main Household-
Kushina was walking up the path that led to her son's house with a fast asleep Wendy on her back. Kushina couldn't help but giggle because on the way here Wendy had been saying that she was sleepy at all. But now Kushina was carrying the small girl on her back and couldn't help but smile at the cute little girl sleeping without a care in the world.
Kushina looked up and found that her son was on the porch with Mira and it looked like they were waiting for them. As she approached them she saw Mira was telling her son something.
''… you have to go Naruto this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to be recognized as a true ninja village and we could probably get more villages to be our allies after this is all over.'' Mira told him while looking at him.
''I know that Mira but if I do go to this meeting then the Akatsuki will find out about us and we could be at risk of them finding our village.'' Naruto responded while looking up at the night sky.
''Yes I know but if they find us and we don't have any allies then we would be at a far worse disadvantage dear.'' Mira loving said while grabbing Naruto's hand.
''I know that what I'm saying is like saying we should paint a big target on us but if you go we could make new friends and allies and you could sleep soundly knowing that should anything happen we have allies to come and help us… yes I know we have allies with the sand, cloud, and mist, and smaller ninja villages but some of them are far away and the mist can't even cross the sea because they don't know how to get by the Uzumaki defense's.'' Mira reminded him.
''You're right as always Mira… ok fine I'll go and check this Kage Summit out.'' Naruto said while looking at the scroll in his hand that bore the symbol for the sand.
Naruto had gotten the scroll about five minutes after Kushina had left with Wendy. At first he thought Garra was in trouble but soon calmed down when he noticed that Garra was informing him about a possible meeting between the Kage's of the four great ninja village in a little over a month from now. At first Naruto refused to go since he didn't want the possibility of his village being discovered by the Akatsuki to happen.
But now he decided to go so to at least make allies with the major ninja villages and try to get some much needed help for his village to flourish a bit more.
''Well I'll go and maybe if I share my ideas with them they recognize us as a major village sooner.'' Naruto hoped.
''That's the spirit sweetie.'' Mira said while kissing him on the lips.
That's when both noticed Kushina coming up the step to their home with a sleeping Wendy on her back.
''Welcome home Lady Kushina.'' Mira announced while bowing to her in respect.
''Yes welcome back mother, I hope you two had fun.'' Naruto said while walking towards his mother and taking Wendy from her and carrying her bridal style.
''Indeed we did son, though she is a bit shy on a few things I must say she is awfully cute… oh and we left Wendy's egg with Shizune to make sure nothing's wrong with it.'' Kushina told them while they all entered the house.
''I see well ok then now come on Erza, Temari, and Mavis fixed up a spare room for Wendy directly across from the babies room.'' Naruto said while they went up the stairs and walked to the third door on the right of the second floor.
When Naruto opened the door Kushina was impressed with what she saw. Since the room was huge almost the same size as Naruto's old apartment. The room was a light shade of yellow with a bit of blue since they noticed that Wendy wore those colors so they thought those were her favorite colors. In the middle of the room was a king size bed with baby blue blankets and yellow covered pillows with a few stuffed animals around it. A night stand on each side of to it with a small lamp her head board had the carving of cats and dogs sitting down or lying about. She had a full body mirror of to one corner next to her curtain covered glass door that led to a small balcony that over looked their backyard which happened to have a small lake. Inside again she had a dresser with a big mirror and a walk in closet the room also had its very own bathroom with a tub big enough for four and not one, not two, but four shower heads around the tub.
It was like Wendy had her very own little apartment with how spacious it was and all that Kushina was a little jealous.
''Wow I didn't know you would go this far for little Wendy here Naruto?'' Kushina asked while looking around the room.
''Yea well she is my oldest daughter therefore she needs her space… or that's what Erza and Mira told me.'' Naruto shrugged it off while admiring his work.
It had taken him about nearly two hundred shadow clone to finish it in the hour and a half they were gone. With that Naruto moved forward and lay Wendy on her bed and covered her with her blanket and kissed her forehead.
''Sweet dreams Wendy.'' Naruto whispered before leaving the room with his girls and mother.
-Downstairs- - Living Room-
The family made their way to the living room and each sat down on a couch with Naruto on a recliner and the girls in the couches around the coffee table.
''So what's this I hear about a summit Naruto?'' His mother asked while looking at him with nothing but seriousness.
''It would seem that the Raikage has issued a request for all Kage to come to the land of iron for a Kage summit… we didn't get our since he sent it to our scouts in the land of fire and it would take about three weeks for us to receive it since those scouts are only there for scouting and not anything else… so Garra was kind enough to send me a copy of his since he knew of this and since he is the only other person with the sensitive information about getting through our defense's since Temari is here.'' Naruto said while leaning back in his recliner.
''Yes and also I heard that the Seven tail jinchuuriki has recently arrived in the village about two hours ago… what do you plan to do about her Naruto?'' Kushina asked him for his plan.
''For now Miss Fuu will live with the Aburame clan giving that she also has a connection with bugs, Shino told me that he will make sure nothing happens to her so I'll just have to trust him on that for now.'' Naruto said while closing his eyes.
''Ok that good to hear… what about teams Beta and Alpha, Wendy said they found her in the middle of the forest in fire country.'' Mira said having already heard from Naruto about this but wishing to inform Kushina as well.
''Alpha said that the last Uchiha has fully joined the Akatsuki along with his team… therefore they now have a kill on sight order in the bingo books.'' Naruto said making the ex-Fairy Tail girls to frown at that since they still hated the fact that ninja could kill so easily.
''What about Sakura… I haven't heard anything about her.'' Mira said with venom in her voice at saying her name.
Yes Mira was still angry that Sakura tried to kill her son in cold blood just to get Naruto to find Sasuke and bring that traitor back instead of hunting him down like a dog.
''Huh? Oh her yea she's dead… she refused to eat or drink anything and well she died of dehydration and starvation.'' Naruto said with the smallest hint of sadness in his voice.
Though not a lot since how could he be sad for someone who tried to kill one of his wives and child.
''I see how… unfortunate for her.'' Even though Mira tried to sound sincere about it she just couldn't.
''Yes well back to the topic at hand… you told us that you were only allowed two bodyguards with you… who are you going to take eh Naruto?'' Erza asked while looking at him.
''I'll be taking Ur and Tayuya with me since they need the exercise.'' Naruto said with a grin.
''Ok then that solves that so who are you gonna leave in charge while you're gone son?'' Naruto closed his eyes and thought about that.
'Well the obvious choice is Shikamaru but his busy right now with being the new head of the ANBU so who… Kakashi is out in the field looking for any shred of info about the Akatsuki… Shizune is busy with the pill project, mom doesn't want to because it's too much work for her, Erza, Mira, Mavis and Temari are busy with our children, who could be the right choice to leave in charge…'
As Naruto continued to think about who he could leave in charge an idea came to him.
''Well I guess I'll leave Shino in charge since he is head of the clan council now.'' Naruto said with a sigh.
''Ok then 'yawn' let's head to bed then I'm tired from how stressful today was.'' Naruto told them while they all nodded and went upstairs to their room to get ready for bed.
'Why do I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen in the near future?' those were the last thoughts of Naruto before sleep claimed him.
-Next Morning-
Wendy awoke bright and early and looked around her and saw that she was in a very big room with nothing she recognized. For a split second she was about to panic until the memories of last night came back and she calmed down.
She saw that she was still in her dress and decided to take a shower to clean herself. She looked around her drawers trying to see if she had clothes and found that they had brought her new clothes for her. She grabbed a navy blue short sleeve shirt and a pair of black pants and looked around her room to see if she had her own bathroom.
When she opened the first door she got her hands on she dropped her things because in there she saw the biggest bathroom she had ever seen. She walked inside and looked around it and saw that she had a tub big enough for her to swim in it. And four shower head to choose from and that the toilet was actually in a different room inside the bathroom along with a sink to wash her hand in.
She decided to try out her tub and filled it up with warm water and watched as the tub filled up in seconds. As she was looking around she saw three bottles and grabbed one to see what they were. The first one was strawberry scented shampoo and the other was conditioner. The third one though got her attention since it was blueberry scented bubble bath. She got a wicked smile and poured nearly the whole bottle and watched the bubbles grow.
-Downstairs- Dining Room-
Naruto along with Kushina were fixing the table for breakfast when they saw Mira and Mavis enter with four plates of blueberry pancakes. Erza and Temari soon entered with the plates for each of them… they contained bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns.
''Hey Naruto where's Wendy shouldn't she be up by now?'' Kushina asked while putting down a fork and knife down in each spot for everyone.
''Yea she should be hmm… I'll go check on her while you gals finish here.'' Naruto said while handing his mother the other utensils and headed upstairs.
As Naruto entered Wendy's room he saw she wasn't in her bed and looked around only to find a faint sound coming from the bathroom and wondered if she was using it. That is until he heard a splash sound that he decided to enter.
It turned out to be a bad idea because the moment he opened the door an avalanche of bubbles assaulted him. When he was able to get up he ran into the bathroom only to find Wendy in the middle of the tub with only her eyes visible.
''Wendy are you done here breakfast is ready?'' Naruto asked her
''There's no Wendy here only the bubble dragon… hear me roar!'' and with that Wendy sent out a very weak roar making the bubble shoot out at Naruto.
When it was over Naruto was covered from head to toe in bubbles and looked annoyed.
''Well if the bubble dragon doesn't come out then she won't get any blueberry pancakes.'' Naruto said with an eyebrow twitch.
That seemed to do the trick since Wendy stopped giggling and looked at him before jumping out of the tub and luckily the bubbles covered her modesty.
''Pancakes! Really!'' Wendy exclaimed happily only to get a nod from Naruto.
''Yes now hurry up and change ok… oh and you're gonna clean this mess since you made it ok.'' Naruto said while using a fire Jutsu he recently learned to dry himself.
Wendy simply nod and ran to her room to get changed. Naruto smiled at her and followed after her only to close his eyes before entering her room so as to not peek at his own daughter as she changed.
''Hurry ok Wendy I heard from Shizune that your egg is ready to hatch so we should get going soon to watch it happen ok.'' Naruto told her since Shizune had stopped by early in the morning to tell them this.
-Dining Room-
The Uzumaki family was seated down around the table with Naruto at the end followed by Erza on his right and on her right Temari. On Naruto's left was Mavis followed by Mira. And on each side of the girls were their babies playing with their food like any normal three month old child would. Kushina was at the other end of the table waiting for Wendy to sit on her left side since her right was being occupied by her only grandson Yorokobi or Yoro for short.
Wendy came running down the stairs with a smile on her face while wearing her navy blue short sleeve shirt and her ANBU pants with some blue ninja sandals. She smiled at everyone and bowed to them while saying…
''Good Morning mama, papa, grandma.'' Wendy smiled while saying that since she was happy at finally having someone to call mom and dad even a grandma.
''Good morning sweetie come sit down next to me so we can start breakfast.'' Kushina said.
Soon the table was ablaze with talk mostly about family topics like what the girls would do all day with the babies and Kushina talking about going to the park. Naruto was just listening and smiling at his family but then he saw Wendy just staring at her food with a sad expression on her face.
''Wendy what's wrong?'' Naruto asked making everyone stop eating and talking and turn to Wendy.
''N-nothing is wrong… well actually it's just that you all are a real family and I'm just here I'm not your real daughter or granddaughter so why would you adopt me.'' Wendy asked while looking at her plate.
''Because your just like me Wendy… you grew up feeling alone with only your mother to love you while I grew up with only a grandfather figure to care for me… your mother abandon you while my grandfather was killed we have both felt loneliness and pain that is why I took you in because I want to make sure you're not alone like I was Wendy… you'll never be alone again Wendy you can count on that.'' Naruto finished with a smile making Wendy smile a small but true smile.
''Naruto I think now's the right time to tell her about that.'' Mira said while looking at Naruto.
''Huh? What is it you want to tell me papa?'' Wendy asked while tilting her head a little to the right making Mira, Mavis, and Kushina to scream in glee at how cute she looked just then.
''Ok… well I took the pleasure of signing you up at the ninja academy so you can learn and make friends there… sorry if I didn't say anything to you I wanted it to be a surprise.'' Naruto told her while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
Wendy just stared at him before smiling and running towards him before hugging him.
''Thank you papa… I promise you I'll make you proud.'' Wendy said with determination in her eyes.
''I know you will Wendy, I know you will.'' Naruto smiled while all the girls just smiled at the cute scene of daughter and father hugging.
''Now come on we need to finish breakfast and go to the hospital to see what will hatch from your egg.''
With that the whole Uzumaki family started eating again trying to finish fast so as to get ready to go see what will hatch from Wendy's egg.
-30 minutes later-
After breakfast everyone headed to their rooms to change all except Wendy and Naruto since they were already ready.
''So bubble dragon what do you think with hatch from the egg huh?'' Naruto tease her making Wendy blush like mad at remembering that morning.
''We-well I hope it's a dragon since I'm a dragon slayer maybe I can raise it to be a friend and maybe have it teach me another dragon element.'' Wendy said while having a dreamy expression on her face.
''Huh? You're a dragon slayer… what's your element Wendy?'' Naruto asked now realizing that Wendy was from Earthland and not the Elemental Nation.
''Oh I guess I forgot to say huh? Well I'm the Sky Dragon Slayer papa.'' Wendy said with a smile directed at him.
''I see well later I'll show you something cool since I need to see if it's ok.'' Naruto didn't say anything else since at that time the girls came down and they headed out.
It took them about 15 minutes to get to the hospital and the moment they entered Shizune came running out and stopped when she saw them.
''Oh good you're here I was about to go find you guys… come quick Wendy's egg is hatching.'' Shizune said making them all nod and run after her to a room where they saw the egg on a pillow.
Wendy walked forward and looked at the egg with unrestrained joy in her eyes at seeing the egg start to crack. It took no more than 30 second before the egg completely broke revealing a white kitten with wings flying around the room.
''Wha! It a flying freakin cat!'' Everyone screamed while looking at the cat.
The cat seemed to fly around the room about three times before landing on Wendy's head and meowing.
''Well that was a rip off.'' Naruto said while sighing
''So what are you gonna call her… it's a her right.'' Mira asked gaining a nod from Shizune.
''Umm… cathy…no…lily… no…hmm what could be a good name for her?'' Wendy wondered while grabbing the white cat and holding her to her chest.
''Hmm… how about Carla it sound like a good name for a cat doesn't it?'' Temari said while shifting Vivian in her arms.
''Carla Yea I like it… do you like Carla?'' Wendy asked the cat not expecting response.
''Aye… it's a good name.'' a squeaky voice responded.
''Holy… did you just talk cat… I mean Carla.'' Kushina asked not very surprised since she's dealt with summons before.
''Well… of course… I did… who else did… you expect tomato.'' Carla said with a snooty like voice.
''What was that cat.'' Kushina growled out while her hair started to flail around her scaring the poor cat since they all started to why she was known as the Red-Hot-Habanero.
''Now, now mom calm down I'm sure Carla didn't mean it.'' Naruto tried to calm his hot-bloodied mother.
''Yea I'm sure Carla's sorry right Carla?'' Wendy said while looking at the kitten.
''Hmph… sorry for what I said I guess.'' Carla's squeaky voice rang out.
''There see… now then come Wendy it's time for you to go to the academy since class starts at 9:00 and it's exactly 8:40.'' Naruto said while Wendy nodded
''Can Carla come too… I promise she'll behave.'' Wendy asked while giving him the cutest puppy dog eyes she could muster.
'sigh' ''Fine but I want her to behave herself ok.'' All he got in response was a happy smile.
Soon they were off to Wendy's first day at the academy. What will it be like and what trouble will Carla cause while in the class. You'll have to wait till next time my friends.
AN: Well there you guys have it chapter 12 yay! Now Carla's joined the party and next chapter will be all about Carla and Wendy's first day at the ninja academy.
Hmm I wonder what trouble will happen while they attend the academy.
Next to be updated will be… 'The True Slayer'
