Chapter 2- Family
The Naruto and Mei were sitting with Kushina on the porch overlooking the Namikaze training ground, watching Nasumi and Masaki train. Being a rich family on the Namikaze side, they had their own estate located behind the Hokage monument. They also had an apartment in the town, since it was a long way from the estate to the main town, but since Minato could just teleport, he didn't care. However for Kushina and Kasumi, it was… annoying.
Kasumi dodged an uppercut that Masaki had thrown at her, and tried to slice kick Masaki off balance from below. It was obvious that Kasumi was the stronger of the two, but damn Masaki was nimble.
She was able to just jump up and back away 3 yards away from Kasumi, landing on her hands, and then falling back into a crouching position, waiting for Kasumi's next strike.
Naruto watched his sister fight and he could say he was proud. Sure she wasn't ANBU at age 8 like he was, but Naruto had made sure that she wasn't.
Naruto had always wanted for his younger sister to have a normal childhood, have fun and enjoy the better things in life. Naruto was pushed into the ANBU because he was born during the third shinobi war, and Konoha desperately needed shinobi.
"Alright Kasumi, Masaki" Kushina called from her seat, "It's time to stop and get ready for dinner"
Kasumi looked to her mother and groaned "okay, Kaa-san!"
"Am I eating here tonight?" Masaki asked. It was normal for her parents to come to the Namikaze estate for dinner4 or 5 times a week, along with her aunt Mikoto and her eldest son Itachi.
"Yah, so you got to wash up" Kushina yelled "because I can smell you from here"
Kasumi smirked "but I smell so nice when I'm sweating"
Kushina just shrugged at her daughter's response "well it wouldn't say nice, it just smells better than the Pink Banshee"
Like her daughter, Kushina had her arch nemesis, which was the pinkete of the civilian counsel, Haruka Haruno. Like her daughter, Haruka played the role of the over perfumed house wife, who tried to get with men for their money, reputation and looks.
It also didn't help since Haruka had a biased opinion about Kasumi and Kushina, thinking that Kushina was actually the Kyuubi and Kasumi was her hell spawn. Of course that theory didn't work when she thought about Naruto, who when the last time she saw him could only say "damn, whose the hotshot?"
Kasumi and Masaki ran inside to get ready, since they both were excited to show off their new headbands to their families.
"So whens tou-san gonna be back?" Naruto asked Kushina
"Probably in a couple of minutes" Kushina said then taking a look at her watch "I guess I should start making dinner"
Unlike most noble houses, the Namikazes did not have a million servants to cook for them. Both Kushina and Minato being Ninjas, they believed that those trivial tasks should either be done by them, or their clones… and sometimes their children…. Only sometimes. It builds character.

Minato, the yellow flash of Konoha, the Yondaime Hokage, the only man in all of Konoha unaffected by the Icha Icha series written by his sensei, was walking back home from his negotiations with Kumo.
Minato had long spiky blonde hair with two side bangs that ran around the sides of his face. His face was very angular, and with his striking blue eyes, that both of his kids had inherited, he seemed to just emanate power. He wore the normal jonin attire, with the exception of his two black armguards and his signature white flame coat with the kanji for Yondaime Hokage on the back.
Next to him was his sensei, Jiraiya the Toad Sage, one of the members of the sannin and the infamous super pervert and writer of the Ichi Ichi series.
Jiraiya was a tall man with waist- length, spiky white hair usually tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder- length bands that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for oil on it. For clothing he wore short green shirt kimono with matching green shinobi pants. Underneath he wore mesh armor and also wore a red cloak with two simple yellow circles with his toad summoning contract on the back.
And following behind them was the second teammate of Minato's sensei, Tsunade Senju the slug princess, one of the members of the sannin and known as the greatest med-nin in the elemental countries.
She had light brown eyes and waist length straight blonde hair that was done into two ponytails behind her back. On her forehead she had a violet rhombus mark which was also known as the yin seal. She wore a sleeveless kimono tided down to her waist by a broad dark bluish obi. The color of the obi matched the color of her pants and she wore high heeled sandals.
As the three figures walked into the Namikaze estate, they could hear voices coming from inside, which made Jiraiya smile perversely.
"Oh I wonder if Mikoto and Kushina could help me with my researc-AHHH!"
Jiraiya shrieked in pain as Minato slapped the back of his sensei's head in annoyance and Tsunade went down for his jewels.
"Sensei, seriously" Minato said, slightly annoyed.
"You god damn pervert, you deserve twice that, but since I'm in a good mood" Tsunade said smiling evilly "you'll get triple"
Suddenly they heard snickering from a nearby tree which made Minato look up, since Tsuande and Jiraiya were two busy with Jiraiya's punishment.
Minato smiled at who he saw "so how long has it been Naruto"
Naruto smiled at his Tou-san "I think maybe 9 years, haven't been counting." Naruto was wearing his normal attire (described in chapter 1) with the exception of the cleaver sword, which no one could currently find, and the ski mask was down.
"of course you haven't" Minato smirked and looked down at the two sannins, where Jiraiya was currently being beaten into the ground in a headlock with Tsunade screaming that he was an insensitive pervert, especially when the husband of the girl he was talking about was right next to him.
"So you wanna watch" Naruto asked while jumping down silently from the tree.
Minato shrugged "nah, let's go inside"
So the two blondes walked to the Namikaze estate leaving the two god parents to figure out that they were ditched.
Minato ruffed the hair on his son's head "so how've you been?"
Naruto "I've been good"
"Got a girl friend?"
"Fiancé"
Minato's eyes perked up when he heard the answer to Naruto's question "What's her name?"
"Mei Terumi, she's from Kiri and part Uzumaki"
"Does Kushina-chan like her?"
"Yep, they've been talking nonstop"
"How about Kasumi-chan?"
"I guess she does"
The two of them approached the entrance to the estate and walked inside, where Naruto was immediately pounced on by Kasumi, to the amusement of Minato.
"Tou-san, I got the headband" Kasumi screamed in Naruto's face while Minato was holding in his laughs.
"Hey imouto, tou-san is over there" Naruto said.
Kasumi, who got out of here blind joy looked at Naruto and blushed in embarrassment "oh, sorry for calling you tou-san"
Naruto stood up, cradling Kasumi in his arms "eh, whatever" he said, ruffling her hair at the same time.
Kasumi then turned to Minato "Tou-san I passed" she said showing Minato the headband around her neck.
Minato chuckled lightly at the excitement of his daughter, "oh I heard and great job" he said.
"Minato, Naruto, Kasumi!" Kushina yelled from the kitchen "dinner is ready"
The three of them walked into the dining room, but not without Minato giving Naruto a small pouch of money with a note saying 'thanks for taking the hit.'

Sitting at the dining room table was Minato Namikaze, Isshin Uchiha, Asuka Uchiha, Kushina Namikaze, Mikoto Uchiha, Kasumi Namikaze, Masaki Uchia, Jiraiya, Tsuande, Naruto Namikaze, and Mei Terumi all in that order.
Mikoto was like an older version of Maski, with long black hair and the same dark eyes that all Uchihas had. She wore an Uchiha flak jacket, which was dark blue with the Uchiha fan on the back and had her headband attached to her left shoulder. Underneath she had a long sleeved crimson shirt and dark blue shinobi pants. Even though she was retired, she wore the basic Uchiha uniform since she was the clan head.
Isshin was the father of Masaki and Mikoto's brother. He had short black hair which was spiky in the back and a scar underneath his left eye. He had a genial smile on his face which was different to many other Uchihas who were mostly serious. He had his Konoha headband on his forehead and wore the basic Uchiha police outfit, which he became a head of after Fugaku died.
His wife Asuka Uchiha wore her long black hair in a ponytail behind her head. She wore the normal ANBU attire, since she was on Kushina's ANBU squad, and they had grown quite close since they were on the same team and their daughters were good friends.
Everyone else looked exactly the same, except for Masaki who had tied her headband around her forehead, to keep her hair out of her eyes.
Minato and Isshin were talking about new changes they were going to institute for the academy, both believing that it needed to be more difficult, but not sure how to make it more standardized.
Asuka and Kushina were discussing past missions they had and new ones they could possibly be getting.
Mikoto was acting as the caring mother for Kasumi and Masaki, where she was helping Kasumi learn how to eat properly, because she knew that Kushina wouldn't teach such a meaningless skill, and scolding Masaki for reading those adult comics, which Jiraiya was trying to get a peek at.
Tsunade was glaring at Jiraiya's antics and talking to Naruto and Mei, who she seemed to like. At first Tsunade thought that Naruto had taken up to Jiraiya's sense of woman, but quickly realized that wasn't the case.
Flashback
Tsunade walked into the estate with a lumbering Jiraiya following suit, and headed into the dining room where Tsunade screamed in delight when she saw Naruto.
She rushed over to where Naruto was sitting and picked him up and started hugging him with her inhuman strength, and if Naruto wasn't so used to this from his mother, probably would have died.
"Oh look my little cousin is back" she squealed.
"Yah I am obaa-san but—AHH" Naruto said before Tsunade had smacked him.
"I'm not your grandma Naruto. I'm your aunt" she scolded him, before she focused her eyes on Mei, who was chuckling at the scene. Tsunade's eyes narrowed at Mei "Naruto who is this?"
"Oh that's my fiancée Mei" Naruto answered.
Tsunade examined the girl with a calculating look 'well she is a ninja, but damn she looks like a broad' Tsunade thought, as Jiraiya walked into the scene.
"Ah Naruto my boy you got yourself a beautiful young broad" Jiraiya proclaimed and started to sniffle in pride "you've taken my advice I see, a pervert like your old sensei"
Mei looked at Jiraiya with an evil look "Oh I would rather you not call me a broad" and she approached Jiraiya with evil eyes "or else I'll kill you." Mei then put her hand on Jiraiya's shoulder and he started to whimper in pain "ok"

Later that night, after Kasumi was sent to bed and the Uchihas had left to go back to their compound, Minato, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina, Mei and Naruto were sitting in the family room. The feeling in the air was a little more serious than it once was.
Mei was leaning against Naruto on the couch with Tsunade. Jiraiya had taken up the old armchair which Kasumi had the nerve to label 'the chair of the great ero-sannin!' Kushina and Mianto were on the opposite corner couch.
"So Naruto" Minato asked "how is that seishingan (soul eye) of yours going?"
Naruto looked at his father, but his blue eyes had changed to match that of a 3 tomoe sharingan, except his was blue. The next second it changed so it changed into a three pronged bladed shuriken with three circles in between the edges. "It's been good"
It appeared after Naruto was born that the Uzumaki, when turned into jinchuuriki, developed a kekkei genkai which could suppress the youki of the bijuu. Kushina had developed her chakra chains, which were deadly as they could easily hold the Kyuubi down when Kushina was at full strength and absorbed the youki and transfer it as chakra to Kushina.
When Naruto was younger they had seen one tomoe in his eye, they had concluded that something was going on. They knew Naruto had inherited the fast healing and resistance of the Kyuubi, being born from a jinchuuriki, but he had also somehow developed a way to suppress the kyuubi's youki.
Naruto had said the night that he had unlocked the eye; he met someone in his mindscape, who he couldn't hear the name of who had explained what he could do with the eye.
It allowed Naruto to attack the soul of a person using either mental attacks or physical attacks, and since bijuu's possessed an incomplete soul, those attacks were deadly.
Naruto then held out his hand and to everyone's shocked expression except Mei, the same clever like sword appeared into his hand.
"Wo, that's one big sword" Kushina commented, as it made hers look like a kunai.
"Damn that clever is as big as Tsunade's cleavage" Jiraiya commented, which had earned him a growl from the said woman.
"So what can it do?" Minato asked, intrigued by the sword.
Naruto shrugged "you know my deal, I don't tell, you find out"
Kushina turned to Mei "was he like that when he met you"
Mei smiled "not just when I met him, every day I was with him he wouldn't explain what he did unless he wanted to teach me"
Naruto looked sheepishly at Mei "Well I'm sorry for being a good ninja"
"Alright since you won't tell us what you can do" Minato said, as he knew that Naruto was very serious about keeping his secrets, secret "will you learn my rasengan and flying thunder god jutsu?"
The last time Minato had offered to teach Naruto this was when he was 10, but he had declined, saying that before he would learn his signature moves, he would create his own signature attack and his own space time travel technique.
Naruto nodded "yes I will, I have come up with my own space time ninjutsu"
Minato then took out two scrolls and threw them at Naruto, who caught them with ease "alright then, but there is a price. You got to teach the rasengan to Kasumi after her first C rank mission"
Kushina then looked at her husband "Minato-kun, shouldn't Kasumi come up with her own technique like Naruto?"
"I don't think she can" Naruto said, which got a questioning glare from Mei, who thought Naruto would ever say something ill about his sister. "As long as she has the Kyuubi inside of her, it will be hard for her to really concentrate and make her own technique"
"Naruto-kun I don't think your being fair—"Tsunade began, but Jiraiya butted in.
"I must agree with Naruto on this one. Like Kushina when she had the nine tails, Kasumi has a hard time learning boring things, and creating something like the rasengan would take her 10 times as long as any normal person" Jiraiya said
Naruto nodded "It's not like I don't think Kasumi isn't smart enough to do it, I'm just saying she lacks the concentration." Then Naruto turned to Kushina "I mean for the first 12 years you were my mother, you could barely sit down without moving, and now you're able to sit perfectly still"
Kushina blushed slightly, and no one could disagree with Naruto with that.
"Well on to another subject" Jiraiya said taking the scroll and trying to act epic when he opened it. "Time for you to sign the toad contrac-"
"I got a summons already" Naruto said bluntly which made Jiraiya fall down anime style and Minato looked inquisitively at his son.
"Naruto, toads are one of the strongest summons. There must be a reason why you felt the one you chose the one you did"
Naruto nodded "well as you know there are various types of summons" and then Naruto started undoing the black wrappings on his left arm. "You have small summons like pigeons, which are fairly weak but very useful for gathering information. Then there are regular summons which are versatile for both combat and information. Large summons which are great at fighting not so at being sneaky. Then there are summons that you, Tsuande, and Orochimaru have which are known as legendary summons."
When Naruto finished unwrapping the black bandages on his arm, Jiraiya turned stock white at what he saw, while the others looked at it very, curiously.
On Naruto's arm was a black dragon that went from his elbow down to his wrist, with the dragon's tail circling his upper arm. The head was on his hand, with its mouth closed, but something gave the impression, that it could be opened.
"Then there is mine"
"How did you get that?" Jiraiya asked flabbergasted, while Minato looked at him oddly.
"What do you mean what so special about that summon?" Minato asked.
"I signed the dragon contract, and the reason why Jiraiya is so shocked to see someone have it, is because no one has ever been able to sign the contract before" Naruto then started re wrapping his arm "the other 5000 suitors all died"
"You risked your life for a summons!" Kushina yelled at her son.
Naruto shrugged "yep, that part of it made the experience fun"
Kushina slapped her head in Naruto's recklessness, but wasn't going to say anything, because she knew she would have probably down the same when she was his age.
"Well then that explains your bingo book listing" Tsunade said, causing everyone to look at her, even Naruto.
"I'm in the bingo book?" Naruto said sheepishly.
Tsuande looked at everyone in surprise "don't tell me you guys haven't been looking at it?"
"Well I got kage stuff" Minato said sheepishly.
"I got a daughter and ANBU work" Kushina said slightly embarrassed.
"I don't check" Naruto said
"And I have my research" Jiraiya finished.
Tsunade slapped her head in annoyance "well then take a look, at first I was surprised to see the listing, but then I figured he was just like his dad." Tsunade then took out a green book with the tittle self-updating bingo book and laid it on the table.
"Alright now all we have to do is look you up" Tsuande said, and a couple of seconds later Naruto's page came up, which was right next to his father's.
Naruto Namikaze, also known as the Tempest dragon or the cleaver- SS- class
Run on word of mouth
Reward 100 million ryo … dead
Naruto eyes perked up when he saw his name "well I'm doing well" which everyone in the room nodded to.
"Oh my little baby is a SS-class ninja" Kushina said letting a lone tear escape her eyes "I'm so proud"
"Good job son, one day you'll get to 120 just like you tou-san" Minato said grinning at Naruto.
"I'm sorry, am I missing something here" Tsunade asked "your son is worth 100 million ryo!"
"I know this calls for celebration" Kushina cheered.
Tsunade just slapped her head "forget it" then she turned to Mei "now let's see your listing" and a second later, they had found Mei's listing.
Mei Terumi S-class
Run on sight
Reward 75 million ryo
Mei pouted "aww I thought I was higher" and Naruto patted her back.
"You'll get there" he said trying to make her happy again, because the one time he had seen her mad, was a bad time. And it took a lot to make her mad, but when she was, no one was safe.
"So, Naruto's finance is skilled" Jiraiya commented as he looked at the bounty "this is interesting"
Kushina looked at Mei, with a little more interest this time "do you mind me asking, what you can do?"
Mei smiled at Kushina "well unlike Naruto I can share as I'm quite proud of what I can do"
"Mei I don't think you should, after all a ninja always nee-"but Naruto was cut off when she had covered his mouth with her hand.
"As I was saying" Mei began while Naruto had stopped talking, knowing that Mei was getting her way, like she always did, "aside from my inherited Uzumaki endurance, charka reserves and finjutsu potency, I inherited two kekkei genkais"
Everyone's eyes widened "two kekkei genkais?" Jiraiya asked, again flabbergasted.
"Yes I can do both the Yoton (lava release) and Futton (boil release)" Mei said.
"That's quite impressive, and from looking at your bingo book record, I can guess you are very skillful with them" Minato said, which Mei nodded to.
"Yes, I'm not much of a genjutsu user or kenjutsu, although Naruto-kun is teaching me. I am much more of a ninjutsu user, varying from all ranges"
Kushina's eyes perked up "I thought ninjutsu users were more long range mid-range fighters and have a good deal of knowledge in fuinjutsu?"
Mei smiled at her mother in law "have you ever tried to touch lava?"
After hearing that, no one doubted that Mei was defiantly going to be touch, because not only did she posse the immense amount of charka to use those moves, she had the skill.
"Well then are you interested of joining Konoha?" Minato asked, hoping that he might be able to add her to his ranks, since he was a kage after all, and she was defiantly powerful.
Mei smiled at Minato "well I thought that was made clear when I came with Naruto, but I do hope that I'm not made a genin"
"Nonsense" Kushina said "Well put you on my ANBU team with me and Asuska"
"Kushina-chan you didn't ask-"Mianto began, but one looked from Kushina made him shut up,
"Well do you accept?" Kushina asked.
Mei nodded "well its better than being genin"
"Speaking of positions" Jiraiya turned to Minato "I don't think we told Naruto where he is needed"
"Oh I figured that out a while ago" Naruto said smiling deviously at his god parent "and I will take the role as Kasumi jonin sensei"
"Now wait just a minute!" Tsunade said looking directly at Minato. "Minato, you can't be serious about letting Naruto being a jonin. He has a 100 million bounty on his head"
Minato just shrugged "so, that means my daughter will be extra safe"
Tsuande however wasn't going to lose this one, she knew Naruto would make a good sensei for Kasumi, but he was way too powerful and that would put the genin he led at risk. "Minato, I'm not denying Naruto's skill, but people will go after him. 100 million is a lot of money"
"Actually Tsunade I think it's better that we do put two highly prized people together" Jiraiya said. "Kasumi is the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, strongest of the bijuu. She alone commands a lot of power just by having that thing inside of her. Not to mention that she is also part of the Senju, Namikaze and Uzumaki clans"
"And besides" Mei said "with Naruto's kekkei genkai, he can control the youki if Kasumi goes out of control, and maybe she can unlock the seishingan"
Minato looked at Mei "how do you know Kasumi has it?"
"Her eyes are the same as Naruto-kun's, the same blue. You may share the same eye color with both Naruto-kun and Kasumi-chan, but I could almost see the tomoe when I picked Kasumi up when she saw Naruto-kun"
This surprised Naruto "I didn't notice, all I was looking at was her hair"
Mei smiled at her fiancé "well, you were always a sucker for long hair" she commented.
"Well that just adds to the reason why Naruto should be her Sensei" Kushina said, causing Tsuande to sigh.
"Alright I give." Tsunade then turned murderously at Naruto "but if I find out that she dies while you're with her I swear to kami, you will pay"
Naruto wasn't fazed by this at all "That aint happening"
