Chapter 7: Power Of A Hero
All the Konoha jounins that were in the stadium looked around to see an influx of sound and sand shinobi arrive in the stadium. Sakura looked around already being able to deflect the genjutsu too see konoha shinobi fight the sound and sand shinobi.
Genma jumped down to take on the sand shinobi that was the jounin sensei of the sand trio. Aoba quickly jumped off the arena and started to help the other jounin fight the sound shinobi. Genma looked at a bleeding Sasuke to tell him to go after Gaara, as he was a shinobi of the leaf.
Kakashi saw Sasuke chasing after Gaara and knew that he wouldn't be able to take on the sand demon alone.
"Sakura I want you to release the genjutsu from Naruto, Raiden and Shikamaru, I am giving you a A-Rank mission," Kakashi said while doing his summoning technique to bring forth the dog-named pakkun. Naruto woke up in a daze to see fighting all around him. Naruto looked at Sakura, Raiden and Shikamaru to them looking back at him with a grim expression. Before he could even ask anything they pulled him through a hole through the stadium that Gai had created.
Naruto was running quite fast and trying to keep up with the events that had just happened. Right now Sakura him and the little dog were running towards the area where Sasuke and Gaara were fighting. Raiden and Shikamaru stopped off to stop the oncoming sound shinobi following them.
Naruto was gritting his teeth, he knew that Gaara was really strong and Sasuke couldn't possibly beat him. Naruto then saw the fight between the two shinobi and quickly pushed chakra into his feet to kick of Gaara before he could do anything to Sasuke.
Sasuke saw Uzumaki Naruto come out of nowhere and help him kick of Gaara. Sakura appeared before Sasuke to see if she was all right only to see the cursed seal over his body. Naruto noticed that Sasuke had the same strange markings as he had in the forest of death. Naruto quickly turned his attention Gaara, he saw Gaara was in some sort of demon form have and his body was covered in sand. Naruto started to sweat sensing the monstrous power that was Gaara. Naruto started to doubt that he could actually stop this guy. Naruto however was careless as Gaara quickly pushed him off and used his sand to trap Sakura against a tree.
Naruto didn't know why Gaara trapped her against the sand but he started to get more worried. Naruto looked at the eyes of the boy and saw the same eyes he used to have. Loneliness was written all over his eyes and his body screamed hate. Sasuke looked to his side and tried to get up but the pain that afflicted him from the cursed seal made him collapse. Naruto cursed himself for being so weak and quickly ran after the demon of sand.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Naruto shouted out load and charged him with an army of clones to be blown away by Gaara's massive right hand. The real Naruto was pushed right up against a tree and coughed up some blood. He looked back up with blood trailing his mouth and wiped it off his hand. Naruto quickly did a flurry of hand seals and spoke.
Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)
Naruto breathed out a huge stream of flame from his mouth and increased the heat by putting more chakra into the attack. When the flames cleared he saw a sheet of glass in front of him and saw Gaara behind and smirk.
"Oh shit" Naruto cursed himself to see Gaara use his other wind attack against him which broke the glass that was in front of Gaara and directly go after him.
Doton: Doryuheki (Earth Release: Earth Style Wall)
Naruto on instinct called forth the wall of earth, which saved him from the glass shards that, would have surely killed him. Naruto looked behind himself to see Gaara behind him smirking. Naruto couldn't defend himself when Gaara punched him straight through his earth wall and to make him land against a tree.
"What are you doing Uzumaki Naruto, your pink haired friend wont survive much longer my sand will crush her if you don't stop me. Why don't you show me that power you used against the cloud-nin" Gaara shouted at Naruto who was aching all over from the beating that Gaara was giving him. In his entire life Naruto had never fought a person who this strong. Naruto started doubt that he could make it out alive with this monstrous power against him.
It was then Naruto looked at Sakura's lifeless body being slowly crushed by Gaara's sand. He had to save her no matter what; he couldn't let his friend die.
"Damn you" Naruto shouted and blindly attacked Gaara to only be hit back with his sand shurikens. But before Naruto could hit a tree again Sasuke used his body to shield his body against the impact. Naruto looked back to see Sasuke struggling to stand up.
"Naruto we may not like each other but we don't want to see Sakura get hurt" Sasuke said while standing up. He didn't even look back at Naruto but said something said.
"I'll distract Gaara and you go save Sakura and get out of here, I don't want to see another important person die Naruto make sure she is safe" Sasuke finished saying and Naruto finally understood where people got there strength from. Up until now Naruto was fighting for himself and only to prove his strength. Naruto stood up slowly and said.
"Thanks Sasuke you finally made me realize why I was so weak against this guy, you go rest you have done enough let me handle the rest," Naruto said while forming a seal that looked like a cross
"I will protect Sakura with my life" Naruto shouted out and spoke his Jutsu.
Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)
About hundred Naruto's appear in the forest and look smugly at the sand-nin. All of the Naruto proceed to pummel the shit out Gaara punching him and using various Jutsu's. Gaara is looking at Naruto with anger at how he is able to muster this kind of strength and finally goes overbroad and releases his final form. Naruto couldn't believe how powerful Gaara was. Even after his non-stop training it seemed like his power was only a fraction of Gaara's. Naruto looked around to see sand forming around his body and knew this would be the end. However hearing Sakura's cry for help Naruto couldn't let her down not yet not now.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
Naruto poured all his remaining chakra into the technique to summon the toad boss and it worked with Naruto breathing heavily upon a huge toad Naruto saw the huge sand form of Gaara. Gamabunta had told Naruto all about which demon and what condition Gaara was in. That was until Gaara used his force sleep technique to bring out the demon. The battle that ensued was one Naruto wouldn't forget in a very long time. It seemed the boss toad was pulling out all the stops to try and take out the sand raccoon. But the power of the demon overcame the toad boss and they both knew they had to wake up Gaara by them self's.
Both Naruto and Gamabunta used a combination henge to try and grab onto the raccoon. Naruto knew that this was his only chance to stop the demon. With little chakra he had left Naruto charged his fist and made a straight dash at Gaara that couldn't be stooped even by the demon him self. Naruto had developed this Jutsu that the user gathers a vast amount of chakra in his hand which becomes so much that it starts to burn the users hand. But before the users hands gets blown of to shreds they push of with a small amount of chakra with their feat. The advantage of this attack was that the user would move at an inhuman speed. But the disadvantage was that the user could only move forward and the person had to stay in the same spot. Luckily for Naruto Gaara was a sitting duck for him and literally knocked some sense into him.
Uzumaki Clan Taijutsu: Burning Knuckle.With the force of the punch the stupid raccoon was put back in Gaara's and forcibly wake the Jinchuriki. Naruto was heaving and sighing he could tell that he was at his limit but he needed to deliver the final blow to end this fight. He could hear the boss toad telling him good luck as he puffed back to where ever he came from. Naruto need chakra and knew one way to get it.
'Damn stupid fox I hate borrowing your power but if you don't give me your chakra we're both dead. So give me some rent you damn lecher' Naruto roared in his head and all he got was a deep and evil laugh as red chakra surrounded his body and blew off his head band.
"Damn you Uzumaki Naruto just DIE!" Gaara shouted back at Naruto in anger making all the sand around him attack Naruto. Naruto looked up and smiled this was a perfect time to use his latest Kinjutsu. Gaara looked around to see Naruto disappear.
Uzumaki Clan Kinjutsu: MisogiNaruto shouted out his technique as he appears from the sky with blinding light that hits Gaara straight in the chest taking him out of the match. Naruto however didn't realise that being so high up in the air and the force of the blow would cause him so much harm. Naruto landed on the ground with his left hand bleeding and stinging with pain. But the fight was one and Naruto gave Gaara some advice and a fact why he was so strong. At Naruto's final words he saw Sasuke and he told him Sakura was fine, Naruto's contented smile was the only thing you could see as he drifted of into unconsciousness.
Naruto was looking at a picture of him and the old Hokage. This picture was taken when he first developed the raging storm and he was bedridden for a week. Using his right hand to hold the picture as his left one was in a cast and in a sling. Naruto looked at the happy face of the old man. Naruto willed himself not to cry but couldn't help the tears roll down his cheeks and hit his precious memory. The old man was the first person to ever recognise his strength and now he was dead. He couldn't believe the strongest shinobi of the leaf was dead.
Sarutobi Hokage was the person who made Naruto who he was. With that little help he was able to start his shinobi training. His gold card was the key the locked gate that gave him so many opportunities. He had told himself that he would pay back the old man and make him retire so he could live out his golden years properly like he deserved. Now he wouldn't be able to see the kind smile or great tip that would make Naruto's day.
Naruto looked down and put the picture away, his headband currently hanging from his neck as he wore an all black outfit for the funeral of people who gave their lives for the battle. Naruto stood up and left his apartment and slowly walked down the streets. His two-team mates who had made it out safely but had bruises from their fights quickly joined him. Naruto and co arrived at the memorial service to see a crowd of shinobi gather around to morn for their leader. The greatest leader this village had ever seen. He had been with the village as Hokage for a very long time and was considered the best leader this village had ever produced. Naruto sighed from his position and looked up to the mountain to see a crack on the face of the third.
Naruto looked to his right to see a crying Konohamaru weeping for his grandfather. Under all that thought exterior and verbal abuse of the third. He could tell that Konohamaru loved his grandfather a lot and would greatly miss like everyone else.
The service had started and shinobi's had started to give a white flower to the memorial of Sarutobi Hokage. Naruto thought back to all his happy memories and smiled at him self. As the rain cleared and the people went back home Naruto told himself not to beat him self up with the death of the old man. Sandaime would have wanted him to be happy that he protected the village and he was shaping up to be a great man.
Naruto ran up to his teammates and started to chat with them about anything in general. Team 6 had arrived at a restaurant that was open to everyone but usually shinobi's ate here. The restaurant owner Maki-hime came up to team 6 and asked their orders.
"So guys what will it be or are you guys not hungry…" Maki asked to her favourite team.
"Umm well eat the usual Maki but get Naruto something he can eat with one hand," Genma said while taking his senbon needle out and placing it on the table. With that Maki went over to go and cook some of her speciality dishes.
"So Naruto any word on how to fix your left arm" Mai said while drinking some water. Naruto's hand was completely broken and the muscles were burnt out. This time it was the fox's chakra that made it worse. Because his attack uses concentrated amounts of chakra it corroded his arm leaving it completely useless.
"Yeah they said they could fix it but I would have to go into surgery and they could botch the surgery making my arm even worse then it is now" Naruto said sighing to himself. Usually the fox would have healed it but for some reason he wasn't healing it maybe because his chakra still lingers there.
"Don't worry Naruto I am pretty sure that your arm will be good as new" Raiden replied back with an enthusiastic grin. Naruto however noticed that Raiden and Mai wouldn't look at each other and that something must have happened between them. Naruto looked at Mai who was looking at her watch and she screamed out loud in terror.
"Oh I am sorry guys, you will have to have my food, I completely forgot I have a date with Kiba-kun in like 2 hours and I need to get dressed, sorry and bye" Naruto was shocked at Mai's declaration of her having a date. Naruto then looked at Raiden who had a look of pure hurt. Genma and Naruto looked at each other and knew that Raiden was hurting really badly.
"Hey Raiden buddy I am really sorry man I…" Naruto started to say but was cut off by Raiden's ridiculous fake laughter.
"What are you talking about I'm fine besides are food is here lets dig in," Raiden said while changing the conversation. Naruto and Genma sighed at Raiden's hard act. Naruto just wished that they didn't destroy each other's friendship because of their complicated love life.
It had been three week since the sound and sand invasion and konoha had just received word that sand had surrendered because they were double crossed by Orochimaru. Naruto detested that name, he wanted him to pay for what he did to konoha his home.
"Yo kid its true all you eat is Ramen," A voice said while popping in to great him. Naruto looked shocked that the perverted hermit was here and with him was…
"Ten-Ten-Chan what are you doing with that lecherous pervert" Naruto asked while finishing his ramen.
"Well Naruto-Kun you see Jiraiya-sama has told me that me and you are going on a very high class mission to retrieve Tsunade-Sama so she can heal Lee and you" Ten-Ten-Ten said before Jiraiya could respond to Naruto's obvious disrespect. Naruto knew who Tsunade was because it was in one of his books.
"Oh even though your ungrateful brat I am going to teach you a really great Jutsu so pack…" Jiraiya started to say but didn't finish because as soon as he said that he would be teaching Naruto a Jutsu all that could be seen is a Naruto shaped dust cloud.
"I swear he that boy loves Jutsu more than anything else" Jiraiya sighed out load while walking to the gate.
30 minutes later Naruto, Ten-Ten and Jiraiya were at the village gates ready to leave. Not known to either of the two genins one of the real reasons's for leaving was that Tsunade would become the new Hokage. Jiraiya however didn't know of the battle that was going on between konoha jounins and two missing-nins.
"You don't know the real reason of why we are here and who we are" Itachi said with a smirk while looking at four Konoha Jounins which consisted of Gai, Asuma, Kurenai and beaten Kakashi after experiencing Tsukomi.
"They might not know what your after but I do…Akatsuki scum" Genma said appearing behind Itachi and Kisame.
Itachi and Kisame looked behind themselves to see a senbon needle sucking shinobi with a lazy smile.
"I know your true purpose which is the Kyuubi inside Naruto isn't it" Genma asked them. Kisame was ready to kill this annoying leaf shinobi before he could say anymore but was cut off by Itachi.
"Kisame we should leave we don't want to draw any attention to ourselves, we have already created a ruckus besides Naruto-kun isn't here" Itachi told Kisame who only nodded with annoyance and they both took off. All the jounins looked at Kakashi who started to sink in the water. Gai said they should all go over to Kakashi's apartment so that Genma could explain how he knew what they were after. Genma agreed to tell what he knew because it was Jiraiya-sama who told him what Akatsuki were during Naruto's training.
Naruto was walking with Jiraiya and Ten-Ten looking quite down, only moments ago 2 weird guys show up saying that they were going to take him away so that they could take away Kyuubi for their own evil purposes. However Sasuke who came seeking revenge for his family by killing his brother interrupted them. Naruto knew of Uchiha massacre but never knew that Sasuke wanted revenge so badly. It made him feel sorry for the guy. It's because of Itachi that Sasuke has such messed up life. He now knew why was such a hard ass. But that still didn't stop him from still hating him for stealing other peoples hard earned work.
Luckily Jiraiya had saved them from certain peril by using one of his toad Jutsu's. Naruto couldn't help at wonder why Jiraiya hadn't told him earlier. But now it was more the reason to get his arm healed as quickly as possible.
"So Ero-senin what Jutsu you going to teach me, is it some really super-cool-ninja-ass-kicking technique". Naruto said with vigour while jumping up and down. Ten-Ten giggled at Naruto's behaviour.
"Well…ah here we are the town I need to gather information about the whereabouts of Tsunade…oh sorry Naruto, anyways I need to gather the necessary equipment for the Jutsu so why don't you and Ten-Ten hang out for the day…bye-bye" with that Jiraiya had left both genins alone to do whatever they wanted. Naruto however felt really awkward ever since the kiss he had received from Ten-Ten during his victory against Neji.
Ten-Ten smiled that Jiraiya gave her enough alone time for her and Naruto to "bond". She really wanted to hang out with Naruto like back in the academy when she use to tease him. Ten-Ten gabbed Naruto's butt and whispered.
"Well Naru-kun why don't we go have some fun" Ten-Ten tore off dragging Naruto with her. Naruto couldn't remember a time when he had so much fun but with Ten-Ten it seemed like they enjoyed everything with each other. Even though she wouldn't stop teasing the poor boy. Naruto felt very happy, they had so much fun playing the games having food and just enjoying each other's company. Ten-Ten was currently snuggling a huge teddy bear that Naruto won for her in the bull's-eye competition. Naruto looked at the brown haired minx and smiled at her contented face. She looks really happy and Naruto just found it nice and weird.
"Ten-Ten-Chan I don't want to be rude but why do you hang out with me, I mean back in the academy everyone hated me and I remember people telling you not to hang out with me. So why did you still hang out with me?" Naruto asked with genuine curiosity. Ten-Ten was startled at the question and was thankful that the bear covered her face.
"Well Naruto-kun, you're really a great guy and back in the academy all guys thought that girls were weird and the girls all did the same thing which was chase Neji". Ten-Ten started to say.
"But you were not like the others and you never looked at me or held anything back and for that Naruto-kun you are one of my precious people" Ten-Ten finished with a full blown blush and started run ahead. Naruto looked back at Ten-Ten's retreating back and couldn't stop the blush spreading from his neck to his face.
Naruto was walking along a path with his left hand still in the sling. It was really strange that his arm was still fractured, there was no way his arm should be this bad even if the drop was that long. The stupid fox wasn't even answering back which made him even angrier. In Naruto's right hand he was trying to pop the water balloon but to no avail. Naruto was getting very worried now; when he started training he completely forgot that all his Jutsu needed both hands either to help him do the Jutsu or to perform a hand seals. So right now Naruto really needed that woman's help. But he didn't know much about her other than the fact she was the first's granddaughter and she was on the pervert's team.
So when he asked both ero-senin and Ten-Ten they both looked shocked that a person like me wouldn't know who she was. But Jiraiya didn't get to explain who she was because Ten-Ten dove into an explanation about her heroine the great Tsunade. Naruto smiled when Ten-Ten eyes lit up when she explained who the great Tsunade was. Naruto and co kept looking for the elusive sanin and Naruto progressed far with the water ball exercise by already popping it in his right hand. But it had taken him 2 weeks to actually do it and whenever he did it, it became quite a strain on him.
Naruto and co had been searching for the elusive sanin for 3 weeks and with no sign of her at all, but when Jiraiya said they would eat at a place for dinner they got the shock of their lives.
"JIRAIYA!" Tsunade shouted out from her seat looking at the perverted senin. Jiraiya thanked god he found her because he was getting pretty tired of finding her. So the five shinobi sat down and something to eat or drink. Naruto was finding it pretty hard to eat with one hand again and Ten-Ten volunteered to be his other hand and she was spoon-feeding him like a little baby. Shizune was looking at the both of them and started to laugh at Naruto's obvious embarrassment. After they had their meal Jiraiya told them about the situation and what Orochimaru did and offered her the position as the next Hokage. Naruto was obviously shocked at what had transpired here. He didn't know that Jiraiya's real intention was to actually bring her back to make her the Hokage.
"Humph, Hokage eh? Only a fool would be the Hokage" Tsunade said while she berated the position of the Hokage. Naruto though felt anger course his body as she started to verbally abuse the Hokage's. But her next words made Naruto snap.
"Humph the old man had it coming to him anyways," Tsunade said with no emotion what so ever. Naruto snapped the glass in his hand and leapt on the table his face so close to Tsunade's that there noses were almost touching.
"How dare you say that about the Hokage, who gave you the right to say something like that, I beat you to bloody pulp even if you're a woman" Naruto whispered to her in pure malice.
Tsunade however being such an experienced shinobi merely shrugged off Naruto's action and told him to prove it by backing up his words. Naruto was at a handicap for having only one arm but also her being a Hokage level shinobi. Naruto knew he never stood a chance but he had to show her what a konoha shinobi is supposed to do. Ten-Ten however was shocked that a person such as Tsunade would stoop so low to insult her former teacher and to pick a fight with a handicapped boy.
Naruto and Tsunade faced of she said she could beat him with only one finger. Naruto however felt angered that she would insult him by saying how weak he was that she only needed one finger.
"Before I flick your pathetic little head tell me why do you get so worked up when someone mentions the Hokage" Tsunade asked with curiosity towards the Kyuubi vessel. Naruto smirked however when she asked this.
"Because becoming Hokage is my dream" Naruto said with fierce determination. But when he saw Tsunade's reaction he had a chance and charged his level Rasengan. Jiraiya smiled at Naruto's words and knew he was the kid who could bring back to konoha. Tsunade saw Naruto approaching her at the last second and kicked the ground and made Naruto quickly jump back dispelling the Rasengan.
"Jiraiya why did you teach such a pathetic shinobi a great move like that he doesn't deserve it he hasn't even mastered it". Tsunade finished with a grin while looking at the seething shinobi.
"Don't worry I will master this move in a weeks time" Naruto replied back with a cocky grin. Tsunade laughed at Naruto and bet him that he wouldn't be able to master it at all in a week but if he loses he would have to give his money in gama-chan to Tsunade. If he wins he would get her necklace.
"Of course there's no way a shinobi like you can win I mean you practically useless with your arm" Tsunade said with a sneer but for Naruto that was the final straw and he ran at her with rage. Unfortunately for Naruto Tusnade flicked him with her finger and he went flying back landing on his injured arm. Ten-Ten saw Naruto being flung back and quickly and ran after him to make sure he was all right. Tsunade didn't even look back and started to walk away.
"How could you do that to some one has a broken arm, I came on this mission help fix Naruto-kuns arm and meet my…heroine" Ten-Ten said with angry tears coming out of her eyes.
"But now I see who you really are Tsunade, you disgust me" Ten-Ten finished with malice as she picked up Naruto and dragged him to the inn Shizune following him.
Tsunade was stopped standing there her eyes wide by the genins statement. She couldn't help but feel like a real bitch for killing someone's image of her.
Naruto woke up to see it was still dark and that he was alone in his room until he heard someone crying. Naruto slowly got up to see Ten-Ten was crying against the balcony her arms wrapped around herself.
"Ten-Ten-Chan…what's wrong" Naruto asked with concern laced in his voice. Ten-Ten looked back at Naruto with sad face and looked down at her feet.
I thought coming here would make my dreams come true to see the legendary Tsunade, but I realised that she was nothing but a phoney and I wanted to grow up like her to become a…" Ten-Ten couldn't hold it in anymore and collapsed against Naruto crying her heart out for her heroine breaking her will and her dream completely. Naruto couldn't help but feel anger when he saw Ten-Ten cry and it was because of that damn woman as well. Unknown to both of them Tsunade was listening to Ten-Ten's confession outside the door. When Ten-Ten calmed down Naruto noticed that she was fast asleep. Naruto laid a sleeping Ten-Ten on his bed to hear Tsunade's apprentice come in and tell why Tsunade did what she did.
"I don't care why she did it but she made Ten-Ten-Chan cry and in my book that's unforgivable" Naruto said and started to walk out but stopped himself and looked back at Shizune
"Shizune-san could you please look at my left arm" Naruto asked Shizune who looked a bit shocked but smiled and started to look at Naruto's arm.
For a whole week Naruto trained non-stop trying to perfect the Rasengan. But to no avail he only just properly got level-two right and his arm would ache from the intense surge of chakra. Naruto was lucky he could do it so quickly because of being able to manipulate wind chakra so easily and knowing quite a lot of wind based Jutsu's. But he couldn't even form the Rasengan properly, it took the fourth 3 years to make the Jutsu but he never asked Jiraiya how long it took him to learn the technique.
Naruto however wasn't thinking of this but trying to keep up with Jiraiya as they tore after Tsunade's path of destruction. From the looks of it Tsunade had rejected that bastards offer which made Ten-Ten smile knowing that Tsunade wasn't all that bad. When they arrived they could see Tsunade trying to stop her shaking from looking at a guy with glasses blood pour form his hand. Naruto couldn't quite help but think where he saw this freak before.
But Naruto couldn't dwindle on little thoughts like this as he was trying to avoid the huge snake that was attacking him. Naruto looked back to see Ten-Ten trying to snap Tsunade from what ever trance she in. It was then he saw the glasses freak run after Tusnade. Naruto quickly leapt down and kicked the weirdo away.
Naruto started to huff and pouf from trying to avoid the idiot with the glasses. Naruto knew he had to reveal his trump card and threw off his sling and used his left hand to make a single shadow clone. Kabuto just smirked and charged the Kyuubi vessel. Tsunade was watching Naruto win a losing battle and she screamed for Naruto to run away.
"Run away, no way I am going to prove to you I'm not a worthless shinobi and that a Hokage never runs away from protecting there precious people" Naruto said with a confident smirk and caught Kabuto hand with his left. Naruto felt blinding pain shoot through his left hand. Even though Shizune had healed it she wasn't as great as Tsunade. Naruto knew he must have broken it again but he needed to hold the pain. Naruto's clone started to charge the Rasengan in his right hand and then plunged it right into Kabuto's stomach sending him flying away. Naruto wanted to jump for joy for being able to do the Jutsu with such ease. But his body spoke other wise as he felt a blinding pain shoot through his arm and cough up a large amount of blood. Tsunade quickly rushed forward and started to heal the demon vessel and when all hope was lost Naruto brought his hand up to her necklace and took it smiling saying that he had won. Naruto wasn't able to stay awake as he drifted of into darkness. Tsunade started to cry as she placed her necklace on Naruto's neck. It meant that a new Hokage was already in the making.
"Ahh man it feels like I was hit by Raiden's punches and then told me one of his lame ass jokes" Naruto said out load as he brought his left hand to rub his eyes but then realized…
"So your awake I see your hand is completely healed you can thank me of course, because there isn't anything I cant heal" Tsunade said with a grin that made Naruto smile. Apparently the demonic chakra in Naruto got stuck in his arm when he used Misogi and it couldn't heal properly because the vast amount that was stuck in. So all she did was remove it bit by bit with a special technique she developed. Shizune tried to heal it but she only healed the bone and not the muscle properly. She also didn't know of the demonic chakra that was stuck in the arm. Naruto finally understood that too much of the fox's chakra was not good for him.
"Of course you cant use it as effectively straight away you will have to build up the muscle like it was before" Tsunade finished saying while going down the restaurant to have breakfast.
"Naruto don't worry I have already apologised for my behaviour to Ten-Ten, it was wrong of me to almost break her dream" Tsunade finished saying on the stairs. Naruto smiled knowing that Ten-Ten would be really happy that her heroine was back.
Naruto quickly packed his bags and had a quick shower while brushing his teeth. Naruto rushed downstairs to meet the beaming face of Ten-Ten who hugged Naruto with everything she had. The adults all had smiles on their faces and thought the same thing. 'Young love'. As they were having breakfast Ten-Ten kept going on about how great Tusnade was against Orochimaru and how powerful she was. It was during the talking that Naruto found out that Tsunade had taken the position of Godaime Hokage.
"What that old hag is Hokage" Naruto shouted out while earning a glare from Tsunade and Ten-Ten.
"What brat you want to take this outside" Tsunade shouted back at Naruto who was also glaring. Like a week ago both blondes were facing off ready to fight but Naruto didn't even get a chance to get in a stance. Tsunade had flicked his headband off and sent him tumbling back. Because his arm was completely healed his balance was back. Naruto though shut his eyes waiting for the chakra-enhanced finger to send him to his doom. But Naruto didn't feel pain; he felt a pair of lips kiss his forehead and looked up to see Tsunade with a big grin on her face. Naruto face also split into a huge grin.
Naruto and co now packed were ready to go to konoha with Naruto and Ten-Ten in the front both of them happily chatting away. Tsunade smiled she now had 2 new precious people and one person to carry Nawki and Dan's dream. Naruto held the precious necklace and smiled 'yes' Naruto thought life was really starting to become great.
Ten-Ten looked back to see her heroine was back and her image of her wasn't false, she was just going through a rough time like all people go through and Naruto was able to bring her back. Ten-Ten looked at her other hero and smiled at the blonde's actions. She wished she could just muster the courage to tell him how much she loved him. But for now everything was all right for Naruto and company.
A/N: Thanks a bunch people for reviews and if you have noticed my earlier chapters have been fixed and tweaked some will be tweaked later so if it comes as an update don't worry about it. For a reviewer who started to cry about how bad my grammar was I just had to fix it to stop that person whining. I hope this chapter is up to your standards. You can probably tell that I rushed this chapter because I didn't go in-depth with the Itachi thing because it's all the same from the manga and the Orochimaru fight was the same as well. The time skip will be probably after the next chapter. I was wondering though if people wanted me to make Ten-Ten a chuunin or not. Well as always-happy reading and reviewing also sorry for my rant but that particular reviewer didn't say a single good thing, which really pissed me off.
