Chapter 005; Love Blinds All Eyes.
Hiruzen groaned as he filled out some more paperwork. It was early evening and he was still here battling his mortal enemy. Paperwork. It was so bad sometimes he thought he even hears the paperwork mocking him.
As he was continuously signing paperwork his eyes stumbled on something he found rather interesting. As he read it he sighed and placed it to the side. Naruto was going to have a horse.
Speaking of Naruto just as he signed the next paper he sensed someone on his window sill. He knew who it was already. It was two people. Once was unconscious and the other had a habit of entering through the window.
"Hello Jiraiya-kun, what's wrong with Naruto?"
Jiraiya let out a sigh as he placed Naruto to lay on the couch. He went and stood right in front of Hiruzen and began. He filled him in on everything from meeting the Nine Tails to meeting Nailah then unconscious on Naruto's part.
"Did you know there was such a thing?" Jiraiya asked with a scratch of his main-like hair.
"Yes, this Nailah person you speak of was Mito-sama's older sister, they founded the Uzumaki clan together, then Mito married Hashirama-sensei and had a son who then married and had Tsunade-chan who then had Minato with you and Minato had Naruto with Kushina." Hiruzen explained and Jiraiya took it all in bit by bit.
"Who knows about Yoso no Ringu?"
"Now it's you, Itachi and myself." Hiruzen said and Jiraiya nodded then his face turned grim.
"Speaking of Itachi, I found out some information from him, he joined a group known as Akatsuki." Jiraiya said. "Not much is known to him as he has only been a member for a year." He explained taking a seat on the window sill. "He only knows there purpose which is to capture the Jinchuriki's and take their Bijuu, he is currently trying to uncover more information and there are only two things driving him onward despite his illness."
"Being?"
"The first is that he wants to protect his younger brother Sasuke and to protect Naruto as he owes it to Kushina." Jiraiya said a small smile gracing his lips.
"Can you blame him?" Hiruzen said a smile also on his lips. "He loves Sasuke as much as to purpose leave him alive during the massacre and Kushina taought him in his days as a Genin and Chūnin." He said.
"Yes but that illness is nothing to play with, he only has about five to six more years." Jiraiya said.
"We can't carry him to Tsunade because Danzō has spies watching her every movement to see if she betrays Konoha." Hiruzen said bitterly then smirked. "Even the 'great' Danzō loses sight of his targets." He chuckled.
Jiraiya smiled then looked back over at Naruto who was sleeping like a baby.
"Has the council tried anything?" Jiraiya asked grimly as he turned towards Hiruzen.
"Well, the Yamanaka, Akimichi and Nara invited him over for lunch to discuss an alliance ship between the clans, it wasn't anything big but he has however started to train with Inoichi's daughter."
"That ain't the have of it, before I met Naruto I was in the shadows watching him spar with the Yamanaka heiress, he asked her out on a date." He said with a lecherous grin.
"I have some good news and bad news." Hiruzen said ignoring Jiraiya's grin.
"Yeah?"
"Good news is he's kind of a pervert." Jiraiya began to cry anime tears and Hiruzen silenced him with a clear of his throat.
"And the bad?" Jiraiya asked slowly.
Hiruzen simply took up the paper from before and handed it to Jiraiya. Jiraiya read:
Hokage-sama,
I request a meeting with Naruto Uzumaki Senju and yourself. It is to discuss a marriage contract between my eldest daughter; Hinata Hyūga and Naruto Uzumaki Senju.
Sincerely,
Hiashi Hyūga: Hyūga Clan Head.
Jiraiya let it a harsh breath. He gave Hiruzen back the paper and sighed.
"This is bad, I think the Gaki's in love with the Yamanaka, and Hyūga oddly always get what they want." Jiraiya said and Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe. He turned to Jiraiya and chuckled.
"That's not true."
Jiraiya looked at him oddly.
"How's that?"
"He never got to marry Kushina."
Jiraiya snickered then burst out laughing. "I still can't believe that he wanted to marry Kushina despite being five years older than her." Jiraiya said.
"He didn't care, he would just say, 'age is just a number'." Hiruzen said and Jiraiya nodded.
"You know he only wants to gain some access to the power the Senju clan holds right?"
Hiruzen nodded. "Yes but he'll never get it, if Naruto really likes Inoichi's daughter he will stick by her side despite Hinata's status as a princess in Konoha."
"And Naruto's a prince along with Sasuke." Jiraiya let out a deep sigh as he said that.
Then it hit Hiruzen like a ton of breaks. "I am going to schedule the meeting after Naruto's date so he can make his choice, when is it?"
"Friday."
"Good, carry Naruto home and I'll take care of this, and make sure to explain why he was unconscious but leave out the meeting." Hiruzen told Jiraiya. Jiraiya nodded, placed Naruto back over his shoulder and left via the window leaving Hiruzen all by himself.
Hiruzen smirked.
Two Hours Layer: Senju Compound; Konohagakure
Naruto sat up with a groan. He looked around to see himself in a room. His bedroom. He sat up and walked out after throwing on some pants and a shirt.
In the living room Jiraiya sat while scribbling on a note pad. Naruto eyes it suspiciously and went to sit across from Jiraiya who didn't notice him. Naruto scowled at being ignored.
"Jiraiya-sensei."
Jiraiya stopped scribbling and looked up at Naruto.
"Yeah?"
"What are you writing?"
"Well, while you were unconscious I went the hot springs and did some 'research' for my next Icha Icha book." Jiraiya admitted with a shrug.
"You're the author of those?"
"Yeah." Jiraiya said. "You read them?"
"Well I have one but I haven't started to read it as yet." Naruto admitted sheepishly.
Jiraiya immediately told him he had to read it soon and reminded him of what transpired with Nailah and the Kyuubi. He then told Naruto to meet him at training ground two the following morning and left.
Naruto was about to go into the den to continue his research on his mother and find out who his father was when a maid came in. She informed Naruto that he was requested at the ninja store where Tenten worked.
Naruto thanked the woman and told her to inform everyone that they had the rest of the day off. She thanked Naruto in return and left to inform everyone of the news.
Naruto smiled as the maid walked off. He had hired them after moving into the Senju compound because of his busy training regime. He never forced them to do anything and they were always kind and pleasant.
Unlike Sasuke however, he had no servant for one reason, members of the 'oh so great' Uchiha clan needed no help no matter what it was. So they never had.
Naruto went upstairs and changed into some casual clothes, locked up his den with some seals he had learned and left to head to the Ninja Store where he was needed.
Two Days Later: Yamanaka Residence; Konohagakure
Naruto nervously knocked on the door of the Yamanaka residence. Today was the day of his date with Ino and he was nervous as hell. He was sweating like an angel in the pits of hell.
He watched as the door slowly opened. On the other side was Inoichi who was smiling at him innocently. For Naruto however, it was actually too innocent.
"Good night Inoichi-dono." He said. Inoichi simply kept smiling and gestured for him to enter. Naruto walked in and sat on the sofa where Inata was located but she was actually smiling normally at him.
"Hello Naruto-kun, Ino will be down in a couple of minutes." Inata said to him and then took in his appearance.
He wore a rust orange Kimono shirt, it was short sleeved with black flames licking the bottom of the shirt and the ends of the sleeves. His pants consisted of the same color but wasn't the same. It was a slightly Kimono pants that also had black flames trimming the ends of the pant sleeve. On his left arm was a sliver plate with the Uzumaki clan insignia etched in and the same thing with the Senju insignia on his right arm. In his hand was a bouquet of flowers. The flowers were an assortment of Akaibara (Red Rose), Kaneshon (Carnation: {Red}), Shiroibara (White Rose), Tsubaki (Camellia: {Red}), Suisen (Daffodil) and Pinku no bara (Pink Rose).
All in all they meant; Romance, Love, Devotion, Excellence, Respect and Trust respectively. Inata smiled as she red the real meaning behind the flowers. Naruto sat and waited patiently in awkward silence with Ino's parents.
"So tell me Naruto." Inoichi began. "What do you have planned for the evening?"
Naruto began to sweat a little as Inoichi's eyes focused on him.
"We were going to the 'Silver Swan' then walk around Konoha's Central Park and then by sunset I was going to take her on top of the Yondaime's head for the rest of the evening and enjoy the peace." He explained.
Both adults were shocked at the mention of the restaurant but remained neutral. Inoichi and Inata nodded then Inoichi got up and walked over to Naruto. He was now leaning in close so his mouth was by Naruto's left ear.
"Hurt my little girl and I'll castrate you with a Senbon needle." He said before walking off leaving Naruto to wince and shudder at the thought of getting his family jewels removed by a Senbon needle.
"Don't worry Naruto, I'm going to get Ino, and Inoichi wouldn't do such a thing." Inata said then left to fetch Ino. Naruto was still clutching his manhood even after both adults left.
Soon afterward Ino and her mother came down. Naruto was shocked at what he saw.
She wore a purple strapless dress that had a light blue floral pattern. It showed a decent amount of her cleavage from her mid 'C' cup breast. The dress also hugged her waist showing off her curves. She wore some strawberry lip gloss on her lips with some mascara and other make up on her face. The dress stopped at about shins length where her feet showed that she wore purple two inch heels. On her shoulder was a purple purse.
"Wow…" Naruto breathed out. Inata smirked as Ino blushed a dark shade of crimson.
"T-Thank you Naruto-kun." She said. "You look good as well."
At this point Naruto came out of his trance and Inoichi came out of his den.
"These are for you." He said thrusting the flowers into her face. Her eyes widened as she saw the flowers and immediately looked at the hidden message behind the flowers.
"Say Naruto-kun, do you know the real meaning behind the flowers?"
"No." He lied. He noticed Ino's face fell slightly and inwardly smirked.
"Alright, best you be on your way, Naruto, she is to be home no later than eleven." Naruto nodded at Inoichi's words. He offered Ino his hand. She smiled and gave her mother the flowers to put in a vase.
As they walked out of the Yamanaka residence to go on their date they had no idea what troubles the following day would entail.
Later: Silver Swan; Konohagakure
"Reservations for two under Uzumaki Senju."
They had arrived at the Silver Swan and was currently at the door where the Maître d'hôtel or hotel master carried them to their seats. It was a table practically in the middle of the room with two chairs: one on either side.
Ino-who was still in shock-only had her mouth agape and was breathing fine. (Read: Barely)
"Ino-chan." Naruto said snapping his fingers in her face. She jumped and came back to the world of the living then stared at Naruto like had had two heads…no make that three.
"How can you afford a place like this!?" She hissed lowly making Naruto chuckle and her raise a brow.
Naruto leaned over the table so he was by her ears.
"Anything for you." He whispered making her blush a color that would make Hinata look like a dull lamp. He leaned back in his seat and a waitress came up to them.
"Good evening, I'm Bara and welcome to 'Silver Swan'." The woman named Bara said. "Would you like to hear our specials Senju-sama, Yamanaka-sama, or would you like to order normally?"
"No thanks." They said in unison then chuckled.
"I would like some Tempura, Miso Soup and Cherry Tomatoes." Ino said with a small smile. The woman scribbled it down and turned to Naruto.
"I would like your largest bowl with Miso Ramen, asks Red Bean Soup and…vegetables…" He said stating the last word bitterly. The woman nodded dumbly and walked of saying she would be back to take their drinks request.
"So Naruto-kun, since this is a date, why don't we try to get to know each other better…well we do know each other good but you know what I mean."
"Sure why not." He said.
Thus began their talk.
However the main topic was Naruto's change in hair and eye color.
Two Hours Later: Yondaime Hokage Head; Konohagakure
Naruto sat on the head of the Yondaime with Ino on his lap leaning back into his chest. Their date had gone exceptionally well if it wasn't for Naruto's over consumption of ramen. Who knew there was an end to that black hole of a stomach.
Naruto let out a contemptuous sigh. He watched as Ino leaned up against his chest from her seat in his lap. He smiled down at her and leaned in to her hair and sniffed.
'Flowers.'
He smiled her hair and snaked his hands around her waist and placed his chin on her shoulder. She was beautiful. Her pale blue eyes watched over the city of Konoha.
"You're beautiful." He murmured making her blush darkly. She turned around him and ran a hand through his three colored hair. Red, Yellow and Black.
"Your hair is beautiful." She said making him face fault. She laughed as he payed on his back with her laying next to him with her head in his chest. She smiled.
Naruto's face was happy. He was on a date with a beautiful young woman who he had broken out of her fan girl stage and molder her into a good Kunoichi.
"Hey Ino-chan." He called to her. Since he was looking into the sky he couldn't see her head nod but he felt it. "Did you test your affinity?" She nodded.
"Water." She replied. "What about you?"
Naruto let out a deep sigh. "I have all five affinities." Her head shot up with wide eyes. "It's an Uzumaki clan trait, it lets Uzumaki's have control over all five affinities and let's them make elemental Kekkei Genkai." He explained.
"Really!?" A nod. "That's awesome!"
"However, I have absolutely no idea how to use any of them." Naruto said then a tear escaped his left eye as the next things he said could well break off his entire relationship with Ino.
Naruto relayed the story. From meeting Jiraiya to testing his affinity then the Kyuubi, the information, Nailah and lastly what happened when he woke up. He then remained quiet to hear Ino's response.
"You read that perverted book?" She asked and Naruto jumped up and turned to her with pure disbelief printed on his face.
"That's what you got out of everything I just told you!?" He asked.
Ino nodded and sat up. She turned and glared at Naruto. Naruto gulped nervously as he waited for her to say or do something. The spit however was ever present in his throat and wouldn't go down his windpipe.
"If you EVER do ANYTHING perverted to me, I WILL personally castrate you with old and rusty kunai." She said. Naruto nodded vigorously then she payed back down with Naruto doing the same.
"Did I just get permission to read a perverted book with some ground rules?" He asked and felt her nod into his chest. "And what do you think about the Kyuubi?"
"If you have a humongous Fox with Nine Tails in your got then you are considered a hero by me." She said. Tears of joy welled in Naruto's eyes as he hugged her tightly.
"Thank you Ino-chan." He whispered. "I was always hated by the village because of Kyuubi, mind hearing my life story?" He asked and she gestured for him to go on.
Before he started Naruto glanced at the clock on 'The Tower of Heaven'; the tallest building in the village. The time? 10:00 in the night. He smiled and turned back to her to hear her speak.
"It's still early, we still have an hour so why don't you go ahead." She suggested.
Naruto nodded. "The Old Man told me that he placed me in an orphanage at two weeks old because he couldn't watch over me as he had to go back to being Hokage, I stayed in the orphanage happily for four months until the word of the Kyuubi reached the ears of the villagers. At five months Old was when I started to crawl and they would let me crawl into dangerous places and only stopped me when ANBU or the Old Man arrived." He said with a tear in his eyes. "At the age of four I was kicked out of the orphanage for reaching back late at night, but it wasn't my fault, I was being chased be a mob of Chūnin and angry civilians." Tears were now selling in Ino's eyes. "I roamed the streets of Konoha and slept in parks eating garbage for food, at six I was severely beaten and would have been dead if it wasn't for Kyuubi, I was also…raped…" He never got to finish as a pair of warm lips clamped down onto his.
His eyes widened as he saw a Ino crying with smeared mascara smashing her lips onto his. She opened her eyes and then wrapped her hands around her neck. He slipped his hands on her hips and pulled her onto his lap.
After three minutes they both parted gasping for air with slight pants. Ino watched into Naruto's eyes. Midnight blue. They were beautiful and had an almost unseeable twinkle in them.
Only Ino could see it. She could see it because she was in love with him. He kissed him again this time licking his bottom lip asking for entrance. He happily obliged and soon they were wrestling for dominance.
Naruto won and his tongue was roaming her mouth and he was applying Chakra to his tongue to add effect making her moan into the kiss. Soon afterward they parted again.
"That…was…awesome." He exclaimed with pants. She smiled and leaned on him once again. He smiled as he wrapped an arm around her waist and lay down.
"Naruto-kun, please forgive me for how I treated you in the academy." She muttered under her breath in an attempt to keep him from hearing it. But he did.
"Don't worry about it." He said and she turned to him. "You were caught up in your fangirl stage." He said and she smiled. She kissed his cheek on closed her eyes. "And thank you for accepting me as the Jinchuriki of a Bijuu that killed some of your family." She remained quiet. "Ino?"
She was asleep he figured out once looking into her face. He picked her up bridal style and dashed away to her house. Not a care in the world except for the beautiful young woman in his arms.
Later: Yamanaka Residence; Konohagakure
Inoichi and Inata opened their front door to see an interesting sight. Naruto was holding Ino bridal style as she snuggled into his chest. But the most noticeable thing was the red eyes on Naruto and the smeared mascara on Ino's face.
"You made my little princess cry?" Inoichi asked threateningly as he took a step forward only to be stopped by Inata before he killed the last male Senju alive.
"No I didn't sir, I told her about the Kyuubi and how my life was before I was told about my Senju title." He said smiling down at Ino. "She cried for me." He said.
Inata and Inoichi smiled at their daughter's decision to stay by Naruto's side no matter what. Inoichi took his daughter from Naruto. He warned if he did anything perverted to her he would castrate him then and there but Naruto defended himself.
Inoichi then walked inside to put Ino in her bed. Naruto then handed Inata a note.
"Can you give Ino this for me please when she wakes up?" Naruto asked and Inata nodded and said good night. Naruto did the same and walked off. He smirked then jumped away with a shit eating grin plastered on his face and that wasn't all.
While he was carrying Ino she had said some…interesting things in her sleep and the result ended in a certain appendage on Naruto to become stiff. Damn.
He needed a cold shower.
Later: Senju Compound; Konohagakure
As Naruto walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist he immediately noticed something…odd in the design of the master bedroom. He didn't know why he didn't noticed before but then began to think. Then it hit him.
He was so stressed into finding out who his father was he never really took in the interior of the master bedroom. There was a strange symbol on the wall above his head.
He knew what it was now that he was studying it. A Hexagram. He walked over and ran a hand on the seal and it flowed and then part of the wall on the other side of the room parted.
He quickly slipped on a some underwear, some shorts and a shirt and went over to the parted wall. He slipped in and heard the wall close with a metallic 'clank' behind him.
He noticed that the room he was in was very dusty so building up his Chakra he unleashed it sending all the dust away and somehow the Chakra blast acted as a light switch and the light came on.
The room was a twelve by twelve room with a glass case in the center to where five books were displayed. Using his sensory abilities he easily saw that the room was booby trapped.
So using his accessional abilities in Shadow Clones he sent them arrow do the room where it wasn't booby trapped to see if there was a mechanism. He noticed that underneath the tiles on the ground were Kanji for words. He then groaned. The tiles were pressure activating tiles. Except the ones on the outside of course.
He then noticed there were some Kanji printed on the glass class. It was a riddle he guessed simply by seeing how it was written and then guessed the books were something of utmost importance. The riddle was as follows:
There is a one story house. Inside it were the following; a pink person, a pink cat, a pink fish, a pink computer, a pink chair, a pink table, a pink telephone, a pink shower– everything was pink!
What color were the stairs?
Naruto began to ponder then looked back at the Kanji that was underneath the floor tiles. There were four words. Pink, Blue, Green and None. He then used his clones to thinks and finally came up with an answer.
Using his ninja skills he jumped in the air and landed on the floor tile with the Kanji marked 'None'. Come on it wasn't that hard, the house is one story meaning no stairs.
The glass case opened and Naruto went over to it and took out the five books. His eyes widened at what they were. They were Journals. Journals of very important people.
