Chapter 4: Back to Konoha
8 years later
"Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Yugito Nii, and Fu." Said Rin. One year ago, Rin decided that would teach student's at the academy. So far, it's been really fun. Naruto was thirteen now. Three years ago, Naruto found out that Fu and Yugito were Junchuuriki. Fu had the Seven-tails and Yugito had the Two-tails. Naruto told them he had at least three tails worth of the Nine-tails chakra. This is why he has three whisker marks on each of his checks. Shortly after that, they found out they were going to marry. All fainted to this. Jiraiya was still running his spy rings. Tsunade worked in the hospital, and Kakashi became a Jounin of Whirlpool.
Rin was brought out of her thoughts when she heard yelling. 'Not again.' Thought Rin. "For the last time, Naruto's mine!" Yelled a girl. "Back off! I'm the one who's going to date Naruto!" Yelled another. "I'm already living with him!" yelled a happy Fu. "You've got to be kidding me." Whispered Yugito as she slapped her head. The girls surrounding Naruto all looked at Fu like she was crazy. Naruto, on the other hand, was blushing like mad. "Calm down every one. Team 7, your Jounin-sensei will be waiting for you at…"
"The Whirlpool Lounge." Finished Naruto. Stunned a little, Rin recomposed her self and said, "Well, get going then." She said. Naruto, Yugito, and Fu left For the Whirlpool Lounge.
2 Hours Later
Team 7 was panting hard. "So, ready to go again?" asked Kakashi. Naruto looked up at Kakashi with an annoyed look. "You're kidding right?" asked Naruto. Kakashi gave him a simple smile. Naruto just sighed. Naruto got up and charged at Kakashi with a kunai in each hand. Before Naruto's kunai could make contact, Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke. "Where is he?" asked Fu.
"I don't…"
"Naruto! Behind you!" yelled Yugito.
Before Naruto could turn around, "Leafs Secret Finger Jutsu: Thousand years of Death!" In short, Naruto was sent screaming in pain into the air.
Uzukage's Office (2 week later)
Kushina was happily laying back in her chair. Team 7 has been going on D-Rank missions for 2 weeks now. She was about to leave when a bird came flying in with a letter attached to its leg. Kushina took the letter and read it. What was on the letter shocked her.
"Mom, Grandma Tsunade, Pervy Sage. What are all of you doing here?" asked Naruto. With a heavy sigh, Tsunade told them. "A few hours ago, we got a letter from the Hidden Leaf Village." She said. "What!" yelled all of team 7. "I thought you said there was no one left?" asked Naruto, still in a state of shock. "Yes we did. But I checked it out myself. There seem to be people in the mountain side. Behind the Hokage monuments'." Said Jiraiya. "So you want us to go and look?" asked Yugito. "Yes." Said Tsunade.
"Naruto. Be careful. Whoever maybe alive might want to hurt you to get to me." Said Kushina. "I know." Naruto simply said. The door flew open and Shizune came running in. By the looks of her, she had been running for a good long while. "Is it true? Are there really survivors?" She asked. "Yes. I'm sending team 7 to go look."
1 Hour Later
Naruto had on a blue, long sleeve shirt with dark blue pants. Near his ankles were bandages that went up about 5% of the way. Fu had on a sleeve-less vest and a mesh shirt under it. She had a skirt that seemed to barely hang on. Yugito wore a short sleeve, dark blue, shirt. She had the same kind of pants as Naruto. She had bandages on both of her arms. Everyone was at the gate, ready to go. "Alright team. Lets head out." Said Kakashi. Team 7 headed for the Hidden Leaf Village. "I hope everything goes well for them and the mission." Said Kushina "Me too." Said Tsunade.
2 Days later
"After all this time, I finally return." Said Kakashi. Naruto gave him a worried look. Kakashi noticed the look on Naruto's face. "Is something wrong Naruto?" asked Kakashi. Yugito and Fu turned to look at what's going on. "I'm worried." Naruto said quietly. Both girls knew what he meant. If there were any other survivors from Leaf, there was a good chance that Kakashi and the others would leave. "Naruto, I know you're worried about me and everyone else leaving." Kakashi said gently. Naruto looked up at him and gave a weak smile. With an almost 360 degree turn, Naruto jumped up and yelled, "Let's go find us some survivor's people!"
Naruto and Yugito walked up on the cliff behind the stone faces. "So far no noises." Stated Yugito. Team 7 has been looking for three hours now. There has yet to be any sign of life. "Let's go find Kakashi and Fu. Maybe they had better luck then us." Naruto said. Just as they turned to leave, a pair of kunai whizzed by their faces. Before they had a chance to turn around, a kunai was placed right under their necks. "Who are you?" asked a feminine voice with a menacing tone. "We're shinobi of the Hidden Whirlpool village. We got a letter saying that there were survivors." Naruto replied. A good ten seconds passed before the person stepped back. Both turned to see a purple haired girl wearing a Leaf head-band. "So you got my message? Good." Said the woman. Naruto and Yugito let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's your name?" asked Naruto. The purple haired girl gave a large grin and said, "Anko." Both Naruto and Yugito gave her their names and their reason for being there. Shortly after, Kakashi and Fu arrived. They also gave their names and reason for being here. Anko gave a dark expression upon hearing Naruto's last name. "You do know your mother is responsible for all this?" asked Anko. Naruto gave off a little killer-intent. "I know. But if she didn't, I've would have grown up hated by everyone." Naruto said with a dark, menacing tone. Anko quickly pulled out a kunai and prepared to throw it at Naruto. Kakashi quickly pulled up in front of her.
"What the hell are you doing Kakashi! His mother destroyed our home!" Anko yelled furiously.
"I know." Kakashi replied calmly.
"Then why are you protecting him?" Anko screamed.
"I promised my sensei I would." Kakashi answered a little annoyed.
"I don't give a damn what you promised your sensei, his mother…"
"Naruto is the Forth Hokage's kid."
"What did you say?" asked Anko. She couldn't believe what she just heard. The Forth Hokage's kid was the same kid whose mother doomed the village. "I said Naruto is the Forth Hokage's kid. He was also my sensei." Said Kakashi who was calming down. Anko fell to her knees, just looking at Naruto with shock. "It can't be. I mean… how is it possible?" she asked, still confused. "No one could know. The Leaf village was under attack from the Nine-tails." Said Kakashi as he picked Anko.
She kept looking until she was brought out of her thoughts when Yugito asked, "The survivors?" Anko quickly recomposed her-self. She dusted her clothes off and started walking. The others followed. "There are others too. A man named Iruka and two kids." Anko said hastily. The group came upon a small door. Anko opened the door to reveal a man and two kids.
They stepped out and Team 7 let out a shocked gasp. The man and two kids looked very thin, most likely from mal-nutrition. The two kids looked around the same age as Naruto. One was a girl with lavender eyes and no pupils. Another was a boy with his hair hanging half way down his back. "We are all that is left of the Hidden Leaf." Said Anko. "The hyuga heiress is alive!" exclaimed Naruto. Anko nodded her head "Let's head to Whirlpool. The rest would like to see all of you." Said Kakashi.
"Yeah. I'm going to give that woman a piece of my mind." Said Anko.
Whirlpool
"Lady Kushina! Lady Tsunade! Lord Jiraiya!" yelled Shizune as she came bounding into the Uzukage's Office. Everyone turned to face the woman. "What is it Shizune?" asked Kushina. Shizune took a few minutes to catch her breath. "Word came in from Kakashi. He found survivors! Only four, but very much alive!" Shizune said happily. Everyone in the room began jumping up and down in joy. Tsunade and Shizune hugged each other, saying how glad that not all died. Jiraiya and Kushina looked were crying tears of joy. "Let's get ready to meet them!" said Jiraiya. All left the room to get ready for team 7's return.
2 Days Later
Team 7, plus the four survivors, came into view. Rin, Jiraiya, Kushina, Shizune, and Tsunade were waiting for them at the gate. "Naruto, are you all right!" Kushina asked loudly. The group looked up and began to wave. Anko, on the other hand, pulled out a kunai and rushed at Kushina. Before she could reach her, Jiraiya and Tsunade grabbed her and pulled the kunai away from her. "What's wrong with you people? Did you forget what she did?" Anko asked angrily. "No we didn't. And never will. But you can't hold a grudge forever." Jiraiya said sternly. "Kakashi told me about Naruto being the Forth Hokage's kid and all. But I just can't forgive her! She…she…!" Anko started to let tears flow freely from her face and cried loudly. "I know how you feel. But if you let you hate take over, it will only hurt more." Explained Tsunade.
"What should I do?" asked a still crying Anko. "First, let's get you and everyone else fed a hot meal and have a nice bath." Said Shizune. As Jiraiya and Tsunade led Anko, the Hyuga heiress, Iruka, and the boy who called himself Haku to an inn. Kakashi and team 7 walked up to Kushina. "You did great everyone." Said Kushina. "I am merely glad that I was able to find more comrades and help them." Said Kakashi with a smile. "I know.' Said Kushina. Team 7 and Kushina followed Tsunade and company to the inn.
Else-Where
"So what now?" asked a man. "Don't know." Said another. Two guards' were sitting down, playing a game of cards when they saw a bright light come from the cave they were in front of. "What the hell was that?" asked the first man. "Help me, please." Came a voice. Both men began to back away. "I've lost my friend. Can you help?" asked the voice. The voice began to repeat it-self. Suddenly, two bright lights shot out and killed the two men. A woman, about thirteen, came walking out. "He's not here. I hope I can find." Said the girl. A small smile came across her face. "I'm coming… Naruto!"
