Tsunade sighed as she looked over the files in front of her. There was no evidence to suggest that Hinata had not attacked the Hyuga group. There was no evidence to say that she did though. There was just no evidence. The civilian council was breathing down her neck to figure out why one of her ninja had dropped two bodies in front of civilians. They wanted Naruto in jail, dead, or out of the village. None of them wanted to have Naruto live in the village. They all hated him for no reason. All because of the damn fox, and they were making it very hard for her to care properly for her ninjas. Even though this village could be described as a military dictatorship, and she had a lot of control, she still had to work with the civilians. They were free to leave and move wherever they wanted and if they were truly unhappy they would. They voted their council members in, and they had a semblance of power. She could of course overpower anything they said, but if she disregarded them they would let their voters know and they would leave and go elsewhere. If they went elsewhere the village economy would go down.
She sighed, she hated this shit. Civilians were idiotic sometimes. She had finished healing Naruto as much as she could and released him from the hospital. He was still in pain and couldn't do much at the moment. She had told him to make himself as scarce as possible in public. She also had to make Jiraiya inscribe some more seals on him, keeping his chakra sealed completely. She hated doing it to him. But until his trials she either had to lock him up or seal off his chakra.
Jiraiya had been pissed, glared at her the entire time, he didn't like that she was bowing down to the civilian council. She hadn't seen him since she had made him do that, she really needed him right now, but he was nowhere to be seen. She had begged him not to be mad at her but he was, he had left the hospital after placing more permanent chakra suppressor seals on Naruto, instead of the seal tags that could be pulled off. Naruto had sat there the entire time, pissed as all hell. He wouldn't even look her in the eyes, Hinata wasn't too happy either.
Tsunade sighed, she shuffled the files back together and put them in her desk, she pulled out a bottle of Sake and poured herself a glass. She sighed as she took a sip. A knock to her door brought her out of her thoughts, "Come in." Tsunade said.
Kakashi walked through the door, she raised an eyebrow, "Kakashi, if you are here to bitch me out as well, please save it, I've had my fair share for the day."
Kakashi laughed, "I'm sure you have Lady Tsunade, that isn't why we are here though."
Tsunade looked around him and saw, Hiashi, Jiraiya, Anko, Shizune, Iruka, and Shikamaru. "What can I do for you all?"
"We need to figure out what we are going to do about Naruto's situation." Kakashi said.
"I'm sorry, I did not mean for the troubles of my clan to spill over into your village Lady Tsunade. It was not my intention. I have tried to take care of it, but clearly, I have proven unable. The rest of the clan is against me. I tried to keep Hinata as my heir, but almost everyone has refused. They do want her back so they can marry her off to some foreign clan head to improve ties." Hiashi told them.
"It isn't your fault Hiashi, actually Naruto tells me you have been incredibly helpful to him. I appreciate how much of an interest and the investment you have made in him." Jiraiya told Hiashi.
Hiashi nodded, "He is a good kid, he has been good to Hinata."
"So, what are we going to do? As far as the Civilian council goes Naruto was defending Hinata when he killed the two Hyuga, there is no evidence proving otherwise. Hinata's memories are the only one that are usable, they point to her being attacked, but we don't know who attacked her. On the other hand, the Jonin council is going to be a bit more difficult. Naruto messed up big time with this. He endangered his team and his mission. Now that being said, none of us blame him. We all would have done the same thing, hell most of us wouldn't have been able to pull any of this off. Naruto stayed with his team, he risked his life to save a loved one. His team came out of it scathed, but otherwise fine." Jiraiya said.
"With myself and Jiraiya heading the council we can steer towards Naruto not being kicked out of the village. The hard part will be keeping him as a ninja, and keeping his rank." Kakashi told them.
Hiashi nodded, "Obviously, Naruto has my vote to keep his status as jonin within the village."
Shikamaru nodded, "I can convince my dad to vote with you Lord Hiashi, Naruto did save my life there at the expense of his own body. Inoichi, and Chouza will go with him, they always do. The hard part will be convincing Shibi, and Tsume. Naruto and Kiba have had a spat for a long time, Tsume will not side with Naruto. Danzo will not side with Naruto. Sarutobi-sensei will side with him though."
Iruka nodded, "Naruto has worked long and hard to get where he is. His mission didn't fail, his team got out of it fine. We can't let it all be taken away from him."
Shizune nodded, "Obviously, he has my vote."
Anko grinned, "I can persuade Kurenai to vote with us. Kakashi can you talk to Gai?"
Kakashi nodded, "I will talk to him, but I don't know how that will go. Gai will likely see the kills as unnecessary and will want to teach Naruto a lesson. I will try to convince him not to make the lesson a demotion."
Everyone nodded and continued to go over what they were going to do in the upcoming days.
…
Naruto on the other hand had spent this time with Kimimaro and Hinata. He was trying to figure out how to get Kimimaro to get the right chakra. Kimimaro had to be able to channel the perfect amount of chakra into the skin of Orochimaru. Once that happened on Anko's neck Orochimaru would burst out and reform. The curse seal would then be forever gone.
"U-use a little m-more chakra K-Kimimaro." Hinata told him as she used her Byakugan to see how much chakra Kimimaro needed to send into the small portion of Orochimaru's old shedded skin.
Kimimaro nodded and a little more chakra in, the skin flared up in purple flames as he did. Naruto nodded giving him another square of skin, "Okay let's try you getting it without the Byakugan to help you."
Kimimaro sighed, "Naruto! I can't do it, I need Hinata to be there."
"Absolutely fucking not. Hinata isn't getting anywhere near that fucking snake again."
"Naruto, we need her there." Kimimaro told him.
"Then we won't be doing it, there is no way Hinata is getting any more involved than she already is." Naruto growled back.
"N-Naruto y-you need m-me there. I-I want t-to help." Hinata told him.
"Hinata you aren't getting anywhere near this." Naruto told her.
"N-Naruto, you c-can't tell m-me what t-to do." Hinata told him.
Naruto got a little mad, "Hinata, please listen to me."
"N-Naruto i-it's for Anko." Hinata told him.
"It's not fucking happening." Naruto growled at her.
"N-Naruto I-I can help!" Hinata pleaded.
"We are done talking about this." Naruto told her.
Hinata glared at him, "N-Naruto…I-I."
"PLEASE! Can we do this later?" Naruto started getting angry.
Hinata's eyes widened, Naruto had just yelled at her.
Kimimaro cleared his throat, "Look, Naruto we need her, you need to accept that. You two fight about it and let me know." With that the bone manipulator jumped out of the training ground and Naruto growled.
With that Naruto turned and started walking towards his house. Hinata followed him quietly, still not sure why Naruto had yelled at her. Naruto walked slowly in front of her as he was still hurting, Tsunade had healed a lot of him but not nearly enough. She had healed most of his burns, but his ribs were broken and his right leg was tweaked as well. Naruto limped along painfully as Hinata followed him.
Finally, they got home and Naruto lowered himself slowly onto the couch and Hinata stood in front of him, hands on her hips. "Hinata, what is it?" Naruto asked her.
"N-Naruto, y-you can't t-tell me I-I can't h-help." Hinata said.
"Hinata can we please not right now?" Naruto asked.
"N-No Naruto, y-you c-can't risk y-your l-life on s-something a-and tell m-me I-I can't help." Hinata told him, biting her lip.
Naruto growled slightly, "Hinata, I really don't want to fight with you."
"T-then d-don't, l-let me h-help you!" Hinata told him.
"Just listen to me Hinata!" Naruto growled at her. He was getting really angry. His life was in shatters and now Hinata starts arguing with him.
"HINATA NO! YOU WILL NOT BE COMING!" Naruto yelled at her, everything in his life that was happening weighing down on him. He didn't mean to yell at her but he was just so upset.
Hinata started to get upset, "D-DON'T Y-YELL AT M-ME!" She turned around.
"Hina wait please." Naruto started.
"L-leave me a-alone. You a-are just b-being a jerk." Hinata told him.
"Please Hina." Naruto said quietly.
Hinata turned slowly and saw tears in Naruto's eyes, "Hinata, my life is falling apart, not that it's ever been together. It is one great shit storm after another. I mean come on, I worked so hard to get here, through the shit storm and now I am going to lose it all. I screwed my team over and now I could be kicked out of the village, they could seal my chakra off permanently and I wouldn't be allowed to be a ninja. Or I could get demoted. The village I have worked so hard because I wanted to lead them hates me. They all fucking hate me! What the fuck is the point anymore?"
Hinata's eyes widened, "N-Naruto, I-I'm sorry." Hinata's eyes teared up.
Naruto realized what he had said, "Hina, you aren't at fault."
"Y-Yes I-I am, I-I need t-to listen t-to you, y-you wouldn't h-have been hurt o-or in this s-situation. I-it's a-all m-my fault." Hinata said.
Naruto shook his head, "Hina no, that's not what I meant. I just don't want you to get hurt again. Hinata you are everything to me." Naruto told her getting up.
Hinata looked down at her feet and didn't say anything. Naruto wrapped his arms around her, "Hina I love you so much, I'm sorry I yelled at you." Naruto told her.
Hinata didn't say a word but looked up at him, she could feel his breath on her neck. "Hina, you are the greatest thing in my shit storm of a life."
Hinata looked up at him, enjoying being in his arms, she looked into his blue eyes. Naruto staring into her lavender pupiless eyes, their breathing deepened.
Hinata looked so beautiful too Naruto, the woman he loved in his arms, she felt so right there and Naruto loved it. They fit so well together and Naruto looked at her lips, and then started to move forward, Hinata's eyes widened and she got scared. It was too soon, she couldn't kiss him right here. She pushed away from Naruto and took off up the stairs, she headed to the closest room to her. She opened the door and ran inside.
Naruto looked up sad, Hinata had ran from him, crying in distress when he had tried to kiss her. She didn't love him, he heard a crash and his eyes widened, he shot up the stairs after Hinata and into his room where she was.
Hinata was on the ground holding a picture, "H-How d-do you h-have this?" Hinata asked him shocked.
Naruto was confused, she was looking at a picture of his mom, "Hinata, that is a picture of my mother, Kushina Uzumaki."
Hinata started to shake, "N-No, t-that c-can't be p-possible."
"Hinata, what are you talking about? That is a picture of my mom," Naruto turned and grabbed another picture, this one of his mom standing with his dad, "This is my mom and my dad together." He handed the picture to Hinata.
Hinata looked in shock, "No, t-this i-is 9, t-the woman t-that h-helped m-me at O-Orochimaru's."
Naruto's knees grew weak, he dropped to his knees not sure what to think, "W-what?"
