Chapter 9
[Flashback]
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in bed, hospitalized, he was able to cripple Orochimaru with a jutsu shredding the nerves in his arms.
Jiraiya is in the room and is talking with Hiruzen who said, "I can't lead anymore, Jiraiya."
"But, who is going to take your place? And before you ask, no. I need to run my spy network."
"The same excuse you use when I ask that you visit Naruto," Hiruzen said, disappointed
"Sensei, don't start."
"Why, shouldn't I Jiraiya? Every time I bring up Naruto you find some way to get away, why can't you take responsibility? I can understand Tsunade because she had so much pain of -loved ones being taken away from her and she thought Naruto was dead, but you have no excuse."
"I know, but I-"
"But, what Jiraiya-sama?" A new voice came into the room and both men saw Naruto standing in the doorway and he looked anything but happy.
[Present]
"Naruto..." Hiruzen said, wondering how much he heard
Jiraiya stared at Naruto as he closed the door behind him and leaned against it. This was not the happy-go-lucky boy he heard so much about. The one that would scream to the heavens about being Hokage in a bright orange jumpsuit and would eat double his own weight in ramen.
"How much did you hear, Naruto?" Hiruzen said
"When Jiraiya-sama said he needed to run his spy network," He replied back, simply
The silence filled the room and Hiruzen broke it by saying, "Naruto, why are you here?"
"I came to check if you were okay. Now, that I see that you are, I will be taking my leave," He said, turning around
"Wait!" Jiraiya said
"What is it, Jiraiya-sama?" Naruto asked
"I want you to come with me."
"What?" Naruto said, turning around to fully face the toad sage
"We are going on an A-rank mission to find my teammate, Tsunade the slug sage," Jiraiya said, proudly
"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sama. You can find someone much better suited to accompany you in finding your teammate." Naruto refused
"Naruto please," Hiruzen said, cutting Jiraiya off and making Naruto stop from leaving
"Why, Old man?" He asked
"Because I can no longer lead as the Hokage and Tsunade is the only available candidate to take it. If not her, then-"
"Danzo..." Naruto growled
"Alright, only for you and not having to deal with Danzo. However, if the mission is a failure and Danzo is the next Hokage, I am leaving and never returning." Naruto said with a sigh
"You would leave Konoha?!" Jiraiya said, disgusted
Naruto glared at the toad sage, "In a heartbeat, this village hadn't been fucking heaven as you like to think and if you think you could convince me not to jump ship, then you are wasting your breath."
Jiraiya knew he had his work cut out for him and he knew his sensei wasn't going to be any help either.
"As I said before, you can leave. You would be allowed to leave if Danzo was ever made Hokage," Hiruzen sighed, ignoring Jiraiya's shocked look
"What surprises me is why that war horse is still alive and kicking when the elemental nations would cum themselves silly if they heard of his death," Naruto said, bluntly
Hiruzen sighed at Naruto's crass and blunt words, even though they rang true.
"Okay...Naruto, meet me by the Hot Springs in an hour," He smirked before leaving in a puff of smoke
Naruto stared at Hiruzen and said, "He's the one that writes the perverted orange books, isn't he?"
A blush lit up his face and Naruto shook his head, "Not surprised and it's kind of sad."
Naruto then left the room, throwing a get well over his shoulder before disappearing entirely.
'I hope Naruto-kun, this village will get your trust again...even though they don't deserve it,' Hiruzen thought with sadness
[Flashback]
A red-haired woman was staring at a picture frame of a young boy with blonde locks with a sad and miserable look in his eye contrasting the large fake smile on his lips, 'Son, I will set you free. I'm so sorry, I pushed you away.'
A door opened and closed and woman's eyes opened wide before squinting into slits and a snarl fell on her lips.
"Junko..."
A large grin and smooth voice replied back, "Kushina-chan..."
[Present]
Kushina stood up from the couch she was sitting on and moved face to face with her sister, Junko Yato, her ex-sister who wore the reverse symbol of the Uzumaki clan tattooed on her right breast.
The large smirk still on her face as her soulless blue eyes bored into Kushina's own.
"Why are you here?" Kushina said, gritting her teeth
"Oh just came to check on my favorite sister," She said, moving towards Kushina
Kushina stood still and Junko moved until the pair were nearly nose to nose with each other.
Junko glanced to the side and let a smile lit up her face, "Oh, you're reminiscing...of what could have been. If you didn't think your own son was a demon."
"Shut up..." Kushina gritted out
"Oh, so now you stare at the picture," Junko said, moving over picking up the framed picture, holding it up to Kushina's face.
"Poor little Naru-chan who tried so hard to please you, but..." A large face-splitting smirk lit up her face, "Not even the spunky blonde who was the epitome of innocence could handle what you did to him. You and your clansmen," She finished off with a growl
Kushina put her head down and started to shake and Junko continued, walking around her and said, "Mommy, you see~! I did what you asked me too! Mommy, do you like it! Mommy, what else do you need?"
"What saddens me that if he were my kid, I would have loved him," Junko said, staring at the picture, making Kushina's head snap up in anger
"Ha, love. What would a person like you know of love?" She spat
"Well, the same could be said about you, dear Kushina. After all, I admit I have done many horrible things, but you are much worse than me." Junko said, ignoring her as if she was a fly
"No, I'm not." Kushina rejected
"Oh yes, you are. After all, how can you call yourself a mother when you made your son into a child prostitute for your own family to take it out their daily stress and anger on and when they were finished, you threw him away, just to die in the trash with a sneer."
Kushina roared and shoved Junko against the wall, but the busty woman moved before her head could be smashed in and she laughed as Kushina went to attack her, to shut her up.
Junko kicked Kushina away from her and pinned her underneath.
"Come on, is that the best you can do?" Junko said
Kushina just struggled until Junko from her chakra chains and stabbed them one by one through Kushina's limbs and through the floor.
As her screams tapered off she glared at Junko through her tears, "Oh, I love that look, so filled with hate and anguish. Just like little Naru-chan."
"What did you do to him?"
Junko laughed and said, "I didn't do anything. I actually found him in that dumpster you left him in, covered in cum and piss. His eyes were so dead-looking it ran shudders down my spine. He actually thought I was you for second until he saw my strawberry locks," She said, running a hand through her hair.
"Since it was pouring and he had nowhere else to go I took him in and trained him. He became something out of nightmares, when I trained him he was unrelenting and he tore apart his enemies. Something to be very proud of Kushina."
Kushina turned her head away from Junko as she continued on, "I don't think I could do something like that. He was so broken on the inside and yet I could see so much sadness that his own mother used him like that. As a stress reliever and as a fuck toy. I usually choose one or the other, but not both."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I tend on taking Naruto-kun with me to the west," She said to Kushina's horrified face
"You can't!"
"Why not? You want him because you finally realize that he is not the demon you and your clan claimed him to be or is it because Minato if he knew what you did, he would tear off your head."
"That's not true..."
"Yes, it is, don't lie to yourself. Regardless, what do you think he'll do once he sees you again? Embrace you and beg you to take him back? Don't make me laugh, your son, the old monkey Sarutobi and Tsunade the one you consider a mother would kill you and piss on your rotting corpse." Junko said, before slowly removing her chains from Kushina's limbs causing a fresh wave of pain.
"He will never side with you, he's an Uzumaki!" Kushina said
"And when I give him a place in my family, he will a Yato. Cold, merciless, and cruel. Goodbye, Kushina, I'm going to watch my future son wreak havoc and considering he already has two willing females at his side, I might even invite them to join."
"You are a twisted slaughterer, Junko..." Kushina said with a sneer
The blonde woman chuckled, "And what does that make you, Kushina? I'm no saint and I know where I am going when I die, you are going to a place even lower and crueler than I am for you and the rest of those fuckwits in your clan did to Naruto." Junko returned
She turned around and disappeared in a flash of black light.
Leaving Kushina healing herself on the floor. 'I need to make amends, even if I get beaten to death by Hiruzen.' She thought to herself, pulling herself up before flashing away.
[Hot Springs]
Naruto had an eye twitch as he heard perverted giggling as the pathetic man was watching women in the springs and Naruto silently gathered chakra into his hand and sent it towards Jiraiya's ass making him yelp and fall into the hot springs, where the sounds of pleas of mercy and sounds of flesh being hit.
After ten minutes of ass being kicked, crotch stomping, and pleas for mercy and high-pitched screaming, Jiraiya was thrown over the side of the hot springs and Anko and several others came out to see the twitching toad sage.
One the civilian woman said, "Are you a part of it?"
Naruto glared at the woman making her shake, "Don't dare accuse me of catering to pervert over there." He said, pointing his thumb at the twitching mass of stress.
Anko winked at Naruto who smiled back before Anko dragged Kurenai who was looking at Naruto with a critical eye back into the hot springs.
"What the hell was that for?!" Jiraiya said, standing up, looking completely fine
"You being a pervert," Naruto said, simply
"I'm not a pervert...I'm a SUPER PERVERT!" Jiraiya exclaimed with a pose
"Which is even more pathetic," Naruto said in a monotone, causing Jiraiya to face fault.
"Are we going to go or not?" Naruto asked
"Fine, fine," Jiraiya said, walking towards the gate and Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke were there.
'Dammit, the bitching three stooges,' Naruto groaned
"Jiraiya sama," Kakashi said, about to prattle on and on about his perverted book
"Perverted sage, are you forgetting the mission?"
"Naruto baka! Don't insult one of the sannin!" Sakura yelled, moving to punch him
Naruto moved to the side and tripped her making her head hit the gate, knocking her unconscious. "Pathetic..."
"Alright, alright, let's get moving, Naruto."
"Try not to die, dobe."
Naruto didn't even acknowledge what Sasuke said as he sped away from the village with Jiraiya to search for Tsunade as Kakashi watched Naruto with a look of sadness and Sasuke with envy and rage.
Ending the chapter! I am ending the chapter! The next chapter will go into Naruto hunting with Jiraya, the famous hotel scene between Naruto, Itachi, and Kisame along with Sasuke getting into the mix. Kushina Uzumaki and Junko Yato history. Why did I use the last name Yato? Because I wanted Gintama and I think Kamui's sadistic nature appeals to me and to Junko. Later.
