At the Battlefield
Naruto reverted his form, as he collapsed, causing the Konoha team to rush forward. Sakura beat them all as she began to heal her lover. Naruto closed his eyes and said, "That was a rough battle." Sakura frowned and said, "No more fighting for you, Uzumaki Naruto." His groan caused a chuckle from Kakashi and Yamato. Naruto sat up as he was healed, and pulled Sakura in, hugging her. He said, "I can't avoid fighting, it is to protect you, and my village." Sakura nuzzled into him and said, "I…know, it is just that I hate seeing you injured." He stood up, with her help. He said, "I understand, let us head home." Sakura nodded and the team reinforced themselves around Naruto as they started on their journey home.
Naruto squeezed Sakura's hand and says, "Soon after we get home, we'll be husband and wife…" Sakura smiled and nuzzled him, saying, "I can't wait." So, the team continued, with Naruto and Sakura showing affection to each other as they went along.
A Meeting within Konoha
A meeting of some of the most respected people in Konoha was happening. In a circular meeting desk with 10 chairs sat clan heads such as Hiashi, Tsume, Shikaku, and more. Filling five seats were Tsunade, Danzo, Homura, Koharu, and Jiriyia. The current discussion was on Naruto, and what to do with him. Danzo said, "He should be our weapon, simple as that, he is nothing more, except for a beast." This earned glares from all but Homura and Koharu. Tsunade said, "Naruto is a person, he is one of the nine jinchuuriki, and as such, is a top priority to keep safe!"
Tsume spoke up this time, "What of his soon to be wife? I hear from my son and daughter that she is becoming well on her way with a child." Jiriyia replied, "She is as top priority as Naruto, if she dies to any of our faults, Naruto will find those mainly at fault, and pay them back."
"Exactly the reason why we should keep him locked up. Plus his child could be our chance at getting the Uchiha back." This came from Danzo, who promptly hit the ground when Tsunade grabbed him and threw him. Tsunade scowled, until she realized something and smirked. All the clan heads and even Jiriyia watched with a tad bit of fear as she spoke, "Alright then, It seems drastic times call for drastic measures. As of today, Jiriyia and Hatake Kakashi will be my new councilors, and I am ending the ANBU Ne." Danzo scowled and left, albeit calmly, as Homura and Koharu were led out.
Tsunade looked at the clan heads and said, "If anyone harms Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto and Haruno Sakura, I will see to it that they suffer, horribly."
Seven 'Hai, Hokage-sama' echoed as the meeting ended. Tsunade sighed and said, "Hurry back Naruto…a storm is brewing within the village."
Back with Naruto
Naruto had stopped the team as he sniffed the air. His hair stood on end, as his teeth clenched. Sakura looked at him and said, "What is wrong, Naruto-kun." He responded by pushing her away and releasing his Hanyou form, 9 tails sprouting. He got on all fours as he looked around. This got the whole team on guard, until three figures landed not too far ahead, forming craters. Naruto walked forward, speaking, "So you are the three I sensed…" Chuckles came from the dust clouds, as out walked two men and a girl. One man had black hair, the other had red hair, and the woman had red hair too. Naruto glared at them and said, "What do you want?"
The woman said, "We want you, Uzumaki Naruto. Come with us and your friends will be okay." Naruto closed his eyes and thought. He opened them and said, "No." The men sighed and said, "Ah, pity." A blast of a storm bolt came right at Naruto, from the black haired man. Naruto slammed his head to the ground, as his tails formed a sphere around him. The bolt smashed into the tail sphere, but did nothing but singe the tails it hit. Naruto unraveled himself and charged forward, only to have a steel fist hit his face. The red haired man said, "Too fast for you, Hanyou." And Naruto was smashed down by a second steel fist, causing Sakura to rush forward. The red haired woman met her mid stride and uppercut her, making the others move into action, only to be trapped by earth, as the black haired man spoke, "This battle belongs to Naruto, Sakura, and us."
Naruto growled as he slammed the steel fisted man up and threw him down. He then swung a tail around and caught the black haired man by surprise, sending him crashing. He used his own fist to hit the red haired woman down; surprising them all that he just took them like that. He sniffed them and that is when they knew it was too late.
Naruto snarled and said, "The stench of Orochimaru." Both men spoke at the same time, "Yes, we are the Shinigami Triplets, Hiruko, Soren, and Hitomi." Naruto leapt over to Sakura and got in the way, guarding her as Soren said, "Oh, right, Orochimaru told us…this'll be fun." He charged in first, his fists becoming steel again. Naruto's eyes glimmered as he sucked in air and said, "Onijutsu: Nine Tailed Wildfire!" So, he let out a mass of fire from his mouth, causing the man to guard himself with the steel fists, which were getting hotter with the fiery barrage.
Naruto leapt back, having finished his attack. He growled and his 9 tails swirled around, as the two men stared at Naruto, smirking. Naruto closed his eyes, concentrating his chakra. He opened his mouth as his chakra came to the opening. The triplets came together, prepared for what they thought was a pure chakra blast. Then, the demon chakra began to form with it. Naruto lurched back, as he ate the dense ball of demonic chakra, and expanded. The triplets watched in awe as Naruto announced, "Kyuubi Chakra Blast!" and from the depths of his body, he fired a massive blast of chakra, destroying anything in its path.
When the dirt clouds cleared away, the triplets were gone. Naruto stood up, Reverting himself to his mostly human looks. The team continued on their way, no sight of the triplets around.
Meanwhile…
In an underground lair, lightning crackled as a giant white snake hit the ground, dead. A raven haired man walked out of the room, and to a room with a giant tube of water. With a slash of a sword, the tube opened and the water spilled out. The water rose to form a man with white hair and purple eyes, who spoke,
"Sasuke-san, you know the deal."
"Hn."
