A/N Hey guys sorry about the huge wait between Ch2 and 3 my old laptop died. And I lost about 11 chapters worth of this story. And it kind of discouraged me from writing it all over again but about a week and a half ago I picked it back up and I am currently up to chapter eight and just waiting for my sister to finish proof reading. Now to all those out there that complain about my grammar I am sorry there are two things that I have struggled with my whole life and those two things are spelling and grammar. So I am asking you to bear with me on this I do have my sister proof read for me and she takes care of most of my spelling errors and some of my grammar errors but she doesn't catch all of them. So I am giving all of you whiners two options. 1) live with it and be happy I am doing the best I can I assure you each chapter I read over more times than I can count before I start writing each day I read my whole story so that I can assure that I do not contradict myself though out the story. Or option 2) You can offer to proof read it for me. I have always believe complaining about something without a solution to the problem does about as much good as sweeping a dirt floor. To everyone elce thank you for the support and the constructive criticism it means more to me than you know. Now on to the story.
Chapter 4
"You ready for this Hime you know they won't be too happy." Jiraiya said to the blonde Hokage as they walked to the council room. Tsunade shook her head.
"Yes I know but they will have to learn to deal with it if he is as strong as you have been telling me he might be the difference when we go to war not to mention we can hopefully get back in to Suna's good graces." Jiraiya just nodded and they walked the rest of the hall in silence. When they got to the large carved Oak double doors Jiraiya pushed them open and bowed Tsunade through the door then fell in step behind her left shoulder. The whole of the Civilian and Shinobi council sat in a large double tiered semi circle around a large desk in the middle of the room which Tsunade stood behind and placed her ceremonial Hokage hat on the desk. "I hereby commence this emergency meeting of the council." As soon as she finished speaking an old man with bandages covering his body stood up from the center seat of the top tier of the council seating "What is the meaning of this meeting princess." The old war hawk sneered out at the end.
"It is Hokage-sama to you or does Ibiki need to give you a refresher course on manners Danzo." She said while glaring at the old war hawk.
"My apologies Hokage-sama." Spitting the title out like an insult. Tsunade nodded knowing that would be the best she could get from the old war hawk.
"I am here to announce the return of one of our shinobi that we all thought lost and the heir to one of Konoha's noble houses." The Council erupted everyone talking over each other Uchiha on each of their was trying to out yell them, telling them to quiet down until her temper broke and she smashed the desk in front of her in to small splinters causing everyone to stop talking and stare at her. Letting out a long sigh she continued "I would like to announce the return of the son of the Yondame Hokage and heir to the Namikaze clan." She rushed out not letting anyone stop her "Namikaze Naruto" she said at the same time Jiraiya threw down the tri-pronged Kunai in front of the remains of the desk. Instantly Naruto appeared in a bright flash of yellow. Instantly the council chamber was silent for a few seconds before the whole council erupted again but this time Danzo's voice could be heard above all the rest.
"WHAT IS THIS FOOLISHNESS." Danzo yelled out "After all this village has gone through because of this demon's death he has the nerve to show up here and try to claim something he has no right to because of him we are on the brink of destruction." With this Tsunade finally lost control on her temper.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE PUT US ON THE BRINK OF DESTRUCTION?" Tsunade shouted out silencing the council "It is you ignorant morons who put us on the brink of destruction celebrating the death of a loyal shinobi like we had just won a war. You should all be thankful that he returned to help us. Put most anyone else in his shoes and that person would have returned to kill us all after how this village treated him."
"Do not get me wrong Hokage-sama" Danzo said with a twinkle in his visible eye "I am not upset that our weapon has returned he will be a great asset in the upcoming war with the proper guidance but The fourth never had a son and if he did it is surly not this demon spawn here."
"Is that right Danzo I happen to have the fourth's final will and testament that he wrote before facing the Kyuubi stating Naruto is his son along with a DNA test identifying him as Minito's biological son." She said producing two scrolls from her robes and threw them to Danzo who opened them and read over them his face dropping with each line he read.
"I see there is no way that anyone can deny his heritage." Danzo said as he passed the scrolls on to the rest of the council "But surely you do not think to seat a demon on this council much less give him the Namikaze inheritance."
"HIS NAME IS NAMIKAZE NARUTO" Tsunade yelled out yet again with veins throbbing in her forehead. "He is the container of the Nine Tailed Fox and has control over the demon NOT the other way around he is a loyal leaf shinobi and he will receive all that is due to him." At this point the scrolls had made its way through the whole council and Hiashi Hyuuga stood up.
"After reviewing the evidence you provided and witnessing his entrance there is no way the Hyuuga clan can deny his claim. I Hyuuga Hiashi Clan Head of the Hyuuga clan accept and acknowledge Namikaze Naruto as the Heir to the Namikaze Clan." Tsunade nodded to him and slowly the rest of the clan heads rose and officially accepted Naruto as the heir. After the clan heads finished speaking the pink haired speaker of the civilian council stood up and started shouting in her banshee voice.
"The Civilian council will never accept this demon as heir much less part of this council." She got out before Tsunade silenced her with a glare.
"May I remind you council woman Honoro this is a Shinobi matter and no concern of the civilian council who is here only as a courtesy and if I hear one more thing out of you that courtesy will be withdrawn and you will be removed from these chambers." Tsunade said with ice in her voice causing the pink haired woman to fall silent and shrink back into her seat. Tsunade turned her attention to Naruto "Namikaze-san you have been accepted as the heir of the Namikaze clan and in doing so making you clan head thus giving you a seat on this council would you like to say anything?"
"Arigato Hokage-sama" Naruto said with a deep bow "First I would like to enact my right as a active shinobi and clan head to name Senju Tsunade clan head of the Senju clan as my representative when I am unable to attend meetings due to being in active duty giving her the right to speak as my voice and vote in my stead." Tsunade smiled down at him she hadn't even thought of telling himto appoint a speaker and was honored she had chosen her.
"I Senju Tsunade accept you offer and swear to uphold your clans Honor when ever speaking and voting on your behalf." Tsunade said to him inclining her head. "Now that that is settled as I am sure you all are aware as soon as news of Naruto's heritage reaches Iwa they will instantly declare war just for the chance to kill Minito's child." As she said this the whole Shinobi council nodded in agreement. "There for I am making his heritage a SS-class secret no one is to talk of this outside of this room also Naruto is forbidden from using the Harishen unless in a life or death situation These two restrictions will hold until we enter a war." Tsunade made sure to make eye contact with everyone on the council to stress how important this was. "This meeting is hereby adjourned Naruto please come with me." And with that Tsunade turned on her heal and left the council chambers with Naruto and Jiraiya walking side by side behind her.
