"Honoured Council; thank you for meeting us so soon and so quickly." Tenten said, bowing to the Shinobi Council of Suna.
"It is no problem Temari-sama. You would never call us unless it was for something important."
"Honoured Council; it pertains information relating to our honoured guest Uzumaki Naruto…He has evidence on him pertaining to who he really is and with that information, I petition for his recruitment into Suna's Shinobi Force." Temari countered.
"As you wish…Depending on the value of this information."
"He is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, his seal is strong and stable at least according to Elder Chiyo." Temari began, this revelation rocked the council. They had overheard that Konoha disliked their jinchuriki but hadn't thought that they'd be so foolish to get rid of him.
"And the other…"
The discussion was stopped by rapping on the doors, the four on duty Shinobi opened it revealing Uzumaki Naruto, clad in his hospital gown, shinobi sandles and a pair of shorts and looked noticeably thinner. "I'm the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina." For emphasis he held out his hand and a rasengan flickered to life.
"Namikaze-sama, we the Shinobi Council of Suna have an unconditional offer for you."
(Konohagakure no Sato)
Tsunade's order had barely left her lips when a squad of Medic-nins accompanied by an ANBU-Trauma team appeared on the rooftop. With a set of paralysis tags and subtle futon jutsu; the downed form Uzuki Hari had been lifted and placed on a mobile stretcher.
Tsunade and left in a body-flicker heading towards the Operation Room of Shinobi Hospital. "You will not fucking die on me, Uzuki Hari. I owe you, too much. You have a daughter to get to know! You'll be lucky if you'll become a shinobi again; or have full control over your limbs. BUT, you stubborn son of a bitch you will live." Tsunade thought as she stormed into the Hospital.
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Operation Rooms?"
"One and Two are available. Cleaning Squad have just cleaned it as of five minutes ago."
"I want all Surgeons, Neurologists, Orthopaedics and Radiographers at the double. I have patient who will be coming shortly in the only way to describe it a fucking mess. I need everyone available in order for me to keep the stupid bastard alive."
"Tsunade-sama, that language is highly…"
"Inappropriate, Doctor? I know. The person in question is Uzuki Hari…"
The Doctor nodded "Then the Stupid Bastard is the correct turn of phrase. Let me get his files." He vanished behind the desk, and picked up a black phone; barked some orders and rummaged in the file drawer before pulling it out.
Tsunade flicked through it "His prognosis has gone from slim-to-none to he'll make it…most likely." Uzuki Hari, for all intents and purposes had found himself needed to find himself in need of the 'White Prison', as many Shinobi called it, or the Hospital.
Soon enough true to her words the eight-man team came crashing through the doors, on que the Medic-nins on the floor rushed out of another pair of doors with a trolley-bed. The transition was smooth and effortless that it had impressed the Godaime herself.
Soon enough, they had entered the operation room and Tsunade with Shizune at her side set about to work.
(Sunagakure)
Naruto was flabbergasted "You want me to join your forces as a Chunin or Tokubetsu-Jonin."
"Correct."
Naruto stared at the council "I'll accept; on the condition of you keep my real name off the records until I'm strong enough to bear the consequences of such a decision."
With that Naruto, with the assistance from Temari and surprisingly Gaara, who had been waiting outside for them. The two Jinchuriki and the Wind Dancer Leader headed outside.
"Naruto-kun, you are going to be staying with my brothers and I for the foreseeable future." Temari stated as they headed into a Shinobi supplier. Naruto looked about and found the population were looking like they've just been weaned off eating rats and each other.
"Uzumaki-san, Temari-Sama, your standard Sunagakure uniform is here; I trust it'll be sent to the usual account?" Temari nodded in response to the vendor's questions.
"It will."
As the duo left, Gaara spoke "Naruto; once you've made yourself at home, your training begins…Sunagakure…needs as many battle ready Shinobi as possible. Are you ready?"
"I have to be. For Suna."
"For Suna." Gaara rasped.
"For Suna." Echoed Temari.
(Konohagakure)
Tsunade took a deep breath, it was done. She was utterly out of sync with the time of day or even what day it was. All that mattered was the man, the hero, in a medicated coma in front of her in the ICU; of the Hospital under the protection of two ANBU squads.
As she got out of the Surgery garb that had been caked in blood. She caught sight of Jiraiya, Kakashi, Tenten and the Higurashi duo "He survived the surgery. The rest…is up to him. Jiraiya, Kakashi…We have an emergency meeting to call."
Jiraiya nodded "Damn you Danzo. Damn you to the Shinigami and Izanagi-no-Mikoto, if it wasn't for that man in there and your pitiful grudge against him…I'd have killed you myself. Damn you and those imbeciles of Sarutobi-sensei's former team mates for giving my Godson the boot. I can only hope he's alright." "As you command, Tsunade-chan."
"Can you at least act professionally towards me for once?"
"We've been in too much shit for that Tsunade." Jiraiya responded with a smirk, Tsunade sighed, that much was painfully true in every moment up until her exile and wanderings throughout the Land of Fire the best moments of her life had been with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. However, looking back it was more Jiraiya than the latter. Orochimaru had always been scarily sociopathic smart one and the one who provided her endless amounts of philosophical and sociological debates. However, it was Jiraiya…always Jiraiya whenever the fighting was at its height and she was providing battlefield medical attention, Jiraiya was thundering orders, throwing jutsu and manning the defence until she had completed what she had been doing.
Tenten bowed to her "Tsunade-sama…can we…"
"I'm afraid speaking as a Doctor then as a Hokage, until his vitals and his reliance on various drugs have been improved and reduced he is to remain in a medical coma. It is predominately for his own safety."
"Will he…"
"Be an active shinobi again? Potentially, his injuries were quite severe. It wasn't just his nervous systems, bones, muscles and organs that were damaged Tenten-san. His chakra circuit as well has been damaged. Futon Shinobi are arguably the most dangerous of all potential affinities for shinobi to possess, followed by Raiton and then Katon. Futon can be used to rip and tear; competent users can maim their foes and allies with utmost easy, talented users like Kaze no Yaiba no Baki could cut flesh, blood and bone with no difficulty but practioners like Hyuga Aarushi and Shimura Danzo were skilled enough with Futon chakra to cut their opponents chakra systems without too much damage to the physical body."
Tenten gulped "You mean Danzo has…"
Jiraiya scoffed "No. Danzo could have, would have and was able to slice chakra circuits at his age before death. However, his skills have definitely decreased; he wouldn't have made it so effortless, not in a combat scenario. Besides, Tenten…Your father was burning himself outright to put Danzo into the ground. Both men were out of their primes states, your father coming back but no-where near as he could have been."
Tenten scoffed "What is this prime state, the prime of the Hellsword no Konoha? What could he do that was so terrifying…No-one ever talks about him, or his deeds and if they do, believe me I've asked, they're all rumours or exaggerations?"
Jiraiya nodded "As your fathers handler on his infiltration mission, using a Yamanaka who owed me a favour or six…I've got some recordings of your father training, sparring half-heartedly, all out and four or five of him on the warpath. I will say Tenten; he and Might Dai took out all Seven of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shu (Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist). Might Dai didn't survive the engagement, but your father did. He also fought and defeated a generation of the Raiuntai (Thundercloud Unit)."
Tenten's eyes widened, she knew of both formations "That's…some, mighty big sandals and skillset."
"No, Tenten…You won't become the Hellsword of Konoha, you'll be BETTER than him." Stated her adopted father "The Hellsword, in his prime was someone to see as a hero…the current one not so much. Hari will say the same thing, you'll need to be better than him as all children should be."
(Suna)
"Thanks." Naruto said as he deposited his bag and supplies. He turned to Temari "Temari, what are you doing later tonight?"
Temari stopped in her tracks "Not much why?"
"Dinner maybe? I'm probably going about this all wrong…" He cut himself off as Temari, blushed slightly.
"No…No…it's fine. Little unexpected, but yeah. Providing you can survive Gaara's training."
