Disclaimer I do not own Naruto
Chapter 19
Narto led Haku and Zabuzza into the forest to the spot where Naruto and Haku first met. He swiftly went through the hand seals to perform the transformation jutsu to the other realm and to where Mina was waiting. Once the portal opened they could see Mina sitting on the steps of sandy brown colored building.
She smiled as she turned and saw the gate appear near to her. Jumping nimbly off the steps she made her way to the portal and posed (naturally). "Well hurry up we have to get you two instated into the Akuma ninja corps."
Zabuzza nodded stepping through the portal and standing at Mina's side to await Haku who had turned back to Naruto. He hugged the other boy and smiled giving him a sweet kiss before entering the gate. Naruto smiled at them and waved as he watched them go into the building. He closed the gate and made his way back to Tazuna's house to escape the festivities.
********
(Next Day Bridge)
Naruto and team 7 stood at the end of the finished bridge facing Tazuna ans his family. Inari ran forward and embraced Naruto crying slightly as his small hands tangled themselves into the mass of shining hair. Naruto chuckled lightly and removed Inari's hands from his hair stepping back as he stood. Inari's eyes a brownish red from the crying smiled at him "I'll never forget you Naruto-nii."
Naruto laughed "I should hope not because I will never forget you but if you do."
He grabbed onto his necklace and summoned "Fire Flower "in its dagger form. Taking Fire he grabbed his hair and chopped it off using 'Fire' in its dagger form. Holding the cut braid out to Inari, "This will remind you of me."
Everyone was stunned and Inari stuttered "Y-your hair but Naruto-nii you cut your hair."
Naruto sighed ignoring the grumbles from those around him. He shaped the braid into an arm band and they watched as it solidified into a circle of braided gold. Naruto grabbed Inari's arm and slit the hair onto it where it shaped itself to fit the younger boy glowing softly before a symbol appeared. Naruto smiled as he saw his demonic symbol form onto his adopted brother.
Inari looked at his arm and the golden band then at Naruto and smiled "Thank you nii-sama and good luck to you."
Naruto turned and walked over the bridge not looking back but praying that his young brother would never need to call him. The rest of team seven waved and reluctantly followed after the kitsune warrior. He smirked as he heard Inari proclaim the bridge "The Great Naruto Bridge" He was glad for his super hearing and laughed quietly to himself.
Kakashi was observing his student and wondering what he was laughing for and where the hell had the two missing nin gone. He had tried to confront Naruto on it before they left Tazuna's house but all he got was a simple they moved on. HE even tried to ask about the change in appearance but was interrupted by Inari taking the blond to explore the forest a bit more. He was becoming frustrated with not getting the answers he desired from his genin but unknown to him another on his team was thinking the exact same thing.
Sasuke was pissed first he had been shown up by naruto's girly friend Haku and to top it off he heard them fucking in the forest one night. He was jealous and wanted the former blond to himself but was still curious as to why he looked hot now of all times and why he hadn't known earlier so he could fuck him. He was and uchiha for fucks sake he got everything he wanted and he wanted his new teammate now.
It took less than a day to get back to Konoha with just the shinobi and no civilians trailing along. Naruto was the first to reach the gates and sign in leaving his team to go and visit a few friends since earlier while on the way back Kakashi said that they had the rest of the morning off and to report at noon to the hokage tower for the debriefing and to get their pay.
Naruto took him at his word and left as soon as they entered the gates turning towards his apartment. He took off at a fast clip making it seem as if a wave of wind blew bye. He wanted to get back as soon as he could to ask how their mission went hoping hinata and shino were already back.
Walking into his apartment he set up traps to notify him if anyone entered or knocked at the door or windows. Opening his bedroom door he created a shadow clone to leave in his place and stepped into the portal connecting his apartment to the cave system. Walking into the living room he spotted Ryu on one of the cushions reading a book. Smiling he walked over to him and hopped into his lap startling him before hugging him. "So how did the missions go?"
Ryu shifted Naruto into a better position so he was straddling his waist and set the book aside. "The mission went accordingly but the problem is that we found a connection with the snake demons that goes deeper than we knew. The evidence points to the higher demons but also to the sannin orochimaru as well."
Naruto looked thoughtful as he climbed off of Ryu "This could be bad we need to inform the old man of a possible war coming if what I read about the snake freak is any indicator he hates Konoha and Sarutobi-jiji with a passion bordering on obsession."
Ryu frowned "Yes but how can you do this without raising suspicion on yourself?"
Naruto smiled a fox like grin "Simple I won't you will. Just bring some of the documents we gathered with information on the freaks bas and village as proof then you can ask to stay in this village an move in with me."
Ryu was skeptical "What about the others we can't leave those two here alone it would cause a big fight you know this."
Naruto walked a little a way from him turning his back. "Who said anything about you being alone take them as well as a sort of genin squad from Akuma village a new ninja village for the chunin exams."
Ryu gave him a thoughtful look as he considered the advantages and disadvantages to doing that. "Fine I'll ask the other two an maybe Minato can help us with our weapons so we don't give away to much."
Naruto chuckled and practically bounced out of the room to take a bath before Kyo and Kai arrived later. All the while whistling at the fun he was going to have finally showing the pathetic village what he could really do. His smile turned slightly sinister, oh yes he would show them what he was truly capable of.
All over the leaf village people began to shiver in dread as a cold chill spread down their backs. The children at the academy began bouncing in excitement not knowing why. Iruka looked on with weary eyes before he stood an activated his BIG Head jutsu "All of you sit DOWN or you will write a fifteen page paper on the proper way to tie a not."
Iruka didn't know why but he felt as if he should go scold a certain genin. Shrugging he got back to his lecture remembering to do it later.
Okay that's enough for know ans all so from there its gonna be a time skip to the chunin exams okay kakashi gave them time off and all that no naruto never went to the hokage tower after that he stayed at home until just before the exams when kakashi presents them the the forms so till then have fun and a good life
