16. Executions and the Search for Tsunade

Hakureisaiga- I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed, alerted, favorited or read this story. Now what you all have been waiting for....the execution of Danzo Shimura along with Sakura's parents and the elders.

Konoha was herself again in a few days time, due to the efforts of Naruto, Dante, Nero and Vergil along with Kasumi. With Suna double-crossing their ally, their combined forces were able to cripple Oto to its knees.

On another note, Naruto reported to Sarutobi that they kept Danzo alive along with his former teammates, Homura and Koharu, the others were executed on the spot.

Sakura formally reported that her parents were also in the conspiracy as well, bringing their battered unconscious bodies to the old leader. The five were facing charges for first-degree murder, kidnapping, illegal use of an disbanded faction, conspiracy with the enemy, use of kinjutsu, contact with Orochimaru due to Danzo's arm and eye filled with Sharingan and the Shodaime's cells.

Sai, the lone surviving member of the decimated ROOT was rewarded for being able to monitor Danzo's movements to help convict the old bastard as his duty to Konoha and revenge for Danzo killing his adopted brother Shin when he showed emotion.

Kankuro and Temari were able to have their younger brother Gaara back from the clutches of his own demon. Due to a piece of Shukaku's soul reduced to a Devil Arm, Gaara was able to sleep and still had control over his absolute defense, Naruto felt that the halberd would not suit him here...especially since there was no sand. \

Funeral- It was raining as if the sky was sympathizing with Konoha's loss. Naruto, dressed in his black funeral attire walked to the ceremony along with Sakura, Sasuke and Kasumi. Dante, Vergil and Nero stayed at home....the half-devils were saddened by the loss, but didn't know enough about particular comrades that Naruto knew.

As they reached the top of the tower, every ninja that had lost their lives had a picture with flowers on a table and their families were moved in the front. The husbands and wives sobbed in silence along with their children clutching their pant leg. Naruto stood by Tenten and Kasumi on his right and left side respectively.

Hinata was behind him to the left while Sakura took her spot behind Naruto. Sarutobi stood beside the pictures and made a long speech in the honor of those who fought valiantly against the enemy. Meanwhile Kakashi stood in front of the memorial as always, remembering Obito, Rin and most of all, his surrogate father and brother, Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya came up behind him, "How long have you been here, Kakashi? Two hours?"

Kakashi said, "Actually I just got here...Naruto set me straight about moping around like that...it didn't suit me."

Jiraiya said, "You're right, it doesn't suit you.....Naruto does have a tendency to make people change regardless how he goes about it. Come on, we better go....or Sarutobi-sensei will get mad at the both of us."

Kakashi nodded, "See you, Obito, Rin, Minato-sensei....I promise I will see you once in a while."

Back to the funeral, Konohamaru asked, "Naruto, why do people sacrifice their lives for others?"

Naruto looked at the boy and answered, "Because everyone in Konoha is connected.....we all have a bond, we trust each other.....and there are important people that others want to protect, families, parents, siblings, lovers, friends. We help each other and come in contact with those types of bonds by birth or chance, soon they grow stronger and stronger. People sacrifice their lives because they don't want to see those bonds destroyed or else order would collapse. Hokage-jiji-san would sacrifice his own life to make sure everyone including you and I survive because he cares....that is why people exchange their lives for death."

Konohamaru replied, "I think I understand what you are trying to say, nii-san."

Naruto smiled, "Good, now Kasumi-chan...I am going to need you to hold me."

Kasumi said, "W-Why?"

Naruto said, "Using that jutsu and Devil Trigger plus fighting over a few hundred enemies is putting a lot of strain on my body, I am basically running on adrenaline....so I will be passing out right about......now." Naruto fell unconscious for two weeks due to the fatigue of fighting and making the Chishio Bunshins.

This gave the opportunity for Kasumi to watch over him and repeatedly replay what she was going to say to him once he woke up from his slumber. Tenten, Hinata, Anko, and even Sakura came over to the house to visit Kasumi and Naruto.

Sakura admitted and confided into the girls that she was in love with Naruto as well. She explained that the fight with her parents made her realize her feelings toward her bleached blond half-devil. Soon Naruto woke up and found out that Sarutobi had postponed the executions for him to see. The Jinchuuriki moved downstairs and got dressed in his usual garb to meet Kasumi downstairs.

"Hey there, Kasumi-chan...that was some power nap. Where is everyone at?"

Kasumi answered, "Kin is with Anko to visit that girl that you saved....the foul-mouthed redhead. Hinata, she is at her house, she has to do an errand with her father. Tenten is at the shop and Sakura is at home. Dante, Vergil and Nero are out demon hunting....since you had to defeat Beowulf, a bunch of them has been popping up."

Naruto said, "Ahh, alright....what is happening today?"

Kasumi smirked, "Our little old friends are getting executed, Sarutobi-san postponed it just for you."

Naruto said, "Heh, sweet." Then he peered into Kasumi's eyes, "Kasumi-chan, what's wrong?"

Kasumi blushed heavily, "N-Nothing."

Naruto said, "Kasumi, I can see it in your eyes....you are practically dying to tell me something. What is it?"

The demoness let out a huge sigh and began, " Naruto-kun, when we first met, I thought you were a happy-go-lucky idiot....well, before you had your bloodline awakened. When I recognized the scent of Sparda and mentioned that you were his descendent, I was hell bent on killing you.....since you reminded me of my failed romance and when I found out that Dante and Vergil's human mother married him, I just got pissed. You defeated me and had the potential to make me a Devil Arm, but yet you spared me....you respected my power. You saw me for me and I saw a bit of Sparda in you. Soon I watched you grow in power and love came into your life....that date with Tenten, when you danced with her, I admit....I was jealous of her a bit. Then came Hinata and after that, Anko. It took me a while along with Nero's meddling to make me see the truth."

Naruto said, "Kasumi-chan, what are you saying?"

Kasumi said, "I....I.....I...I love you, Naruto-kun....I want to be with you." The Sparda said nothing for like they said, actions speaks louder than words.

He took her in his arms, "That took a lot of courage for you to say, Kasumi-chan."

The Kitsune woman said, "I'm a demon, in the realm of Makai, there is no such thing as romance or love. If you wanted to get someone, you had to fight for it and take it by force. I wanted to find someone that was stronger than me, but was honorable......I found Sparda."

Naruto raised her face to meet her docile crimson eyes as he said, "Kasumi-chan, out of all of the girls here....you know me the best since you have been sealed inside of me for 13 years. Therefore like the rest of my girls, I will treat you with the uttermost respect and I am kind of relieved that you told me this."

The Jinchuuriki leaned down and kissed her on the lips passionately. Kasumi returned it feverishly, pressing her body closer to his warm body. Naruto's hands rested firmly on her hips while Kasumi played with his bleached blond locks, trapping her hands. Soon the two broke the kiss and Kasumi panted a bit, "Oh my, it was better than I imagined before...."

Naruto said, "Glad you think so....I had a lot of practice, but you already know that."

Kasumi said, "True, so....are we going to tell Sasuke the truth?"

Naruto said, "Since the main conspirators are going to be executed, then it is best that we tell him....but we must be careful. Sasuke could resent Konoha and try to leave for Orochimaru to join him for his mutual goal, but if we find Itachi, he could be saved and we can give him the opportunity to kill the true murderers."

Kasumi said, "If he does, I will kill him....without remorse, his ancestor is the cause of all your troubles and Sasuke could potentially be a threat."

Naruto said, "Despite that he is a bit arrogant, I don't think that he would be a threat. But enough of this, let's go." Kasumi nodded and the two proceeded to go out the door.

Hokage's Office- The two of them walked inside the room to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi and Naruto greeted the old man, "What's up, old man?"

Sarutobi said, "Hello, Naruto, Kasumi....how have you two been?"

Naruto said, "Fine, oji-san, listen....I would like to know if you are going to tell Sasuke the truth and recall Itachi Uchiha."

Sarutobi's smiling face grew serious and said, "I think I should do that....I have already messed up with secrets with you....and now this. Since Itachi is still alive, there may be a chance that Sasuke will take it as a good thing."

Kasumi said, "On the other hand, he might become loose and try to destroy Konoha."

Sarutobi asked, "How do you know Sasuke, Kasumi-chan?"

Naruto said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, oji-san. Meet Kasumi as known as the Kyuubi no Kitsune." Sarutobi instantly had a kunai in his hand and glared at Kasumi, "Why is she here and why did you help us?"

Naruto said, "Take a chill pill, oji-san. It was not her fault that she attacked the village."

Sarutobi said, "How were you able to break out of the seal?"

Naruto said, "She didn't....I freed her from her confinement, but the seal is still alive." He pointed at the choker and there was a necklace that resembles the symbol of Naruto's seal on his stomach.

Sarutobi said, "But she could...."

Naruto said seriously, "No, oji-san, the thing is that I can regulate her power easier if I wanted to. Most of her power is within me and she is strong as Ero-Sennin if I want her to....besides I don't have to keep doing it because I trust her and love her."

Sarutobi said, "But..."

Kasumi said, "Please, Hokage-sama, Naruto loves the people in this village and I love him....the only way to hurt me is to hurt him....and that is the only way I will attack this village if someone stupid like the idiotic villagers attack him. I will promise to protect this village as long as nobody betrays Naruto-kun or his associates."

The old Professor looked at Kasumi and then turned to Naruto for a bit, "Fine, no one except people that you, Naruto and I trust will know about this, understand?"

Naruto said, "Clear, Hokage-oji-san."

Sarutobi said, "While we are on that, do you want to explain to me how your ancestors are here in the flesh?"

Naruto said, "Their swords Rebellion, Yamato and Red Queen are sentient blades forged and enhanced with demonic energy by mixing the blood into the molten metal. When I used the Chishio Bunshin, their spirits were able to manifest and returned their bodies permanently."

"And Kasumi?" asked the old Hokage.

"Her case is different, if she is killed....she can return to the seal, but her body can last as long as she wishes it." Naruto said.

Sarutobi said, "So we got the Legendary Devil Hunter Dante Sparda and his brother, Vergil Sparda, once known as the Black Angel including the services of Kasumi Uzumaki."

Kasumi said, "Uzumaki?"

Sarutobi said, "If you are going to marry him someday, I might as well give you one of his names... since he has to rebuild the Sparda clan."

Kasumi's eyes lit up with joy and Sarutobi said, "Although you have killed countless people that I knew and loved, your eyes tell me different.....that you were telling the truth about that. May I ask who was able to control you?"

Kasumi gritted her teeth as she spoke the accursed name, "Uchiha...Madara."

Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock, "What? That can't be...he would be at least over 100 years old. He was defeated at the Valley of the End."

Kasumi said, "He was defeated at the Valley of the End. Since the battle was so great and I was there helping him willingly at the time since he asked a favor from me, but for some reason, he was able to survive. He only had one Sharingan, but that was able enough to control me since he had a stronger Sharingan."

Sarutobi said, "Stronger Sharingan?"

Naruto said, "We researched Itachi Uchiha and we had to infiltrate Sasuke's home to find his secret clan history. Just how Itachi feels about Sasuke, he would tell him about his strength. It is called the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Sarutobi said, "Mangekyo.....Sharingan."

Kasumi said, "The second level of the cursed bloodline of the Uchiha clan. To achieve it, you must kill your closest friend."

Sarutobi said, "So Itachi did kill Shisui Uchiha...and it was perfect considering her was loyal to the Uchiha clan also."

Kasumi said, "There are three known techniques that the Sharingan can use....the first one is Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu that can't be broken, but I believe that someone with a Sharingan or Uchiha blood can overcome the genjutsu. The second is Amaterasu, a black fire that can burn anything known to man and not even the strongest Suiton jutsu can douse the flames."

Naruto said, "The last one is called Izanagi....Danzo used this technique against me when I fought. It allows a person to alter reality for a moment. It was a bitch fighting it because you can even escape death's embrace, but for every 60 seconds, the eye closes...forever and grows dark."

Sarutobi said, "You mean that once you use Izanagi, the eye becomes blind and useless."

Kasumi said, "Correct, the same thing happens with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi since Itachi has used it multiple times, which means you can grow blind gradually."

Sarutobi said, "So then how is Madara able to use Tsukuyomi on you?

Naruto said, "According to the Uchiha history on the wall, Madara had a brother named Izuna Uchiha. The two were both the strongest and killed their closest friend to get the Mangekyo Sharingan. Soon Madara was blind from using the Mangekyo Sharingan and he took his brother's eyes to replace his own eyes, giving him the third level of the Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

Kasumi said, "But since he is the only one with this level, there is little known about it. The only one that we know is that if you should get the level, you will become immortal and it must be your sibling to get it from."

Sarutobi said, "So that is why Itachi kept Sasuke alive to get the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but the history of Madara Uchiha was lost to the Uchiha clan except that he died fighting my mentor Hashirama Senju, the Shodai Hokage."

Naruto said, "I don't think so...there is the possibility that he might have encountered Madara Uchiha and to gain his trust, he convinced that his plan was to take Sasuke's eyes when he was stronger."

Sarutobi said, "That is true too...therefore we still have to treat Itachi as an enemy for the moment. Now then...Karasu...." An ANBU with a crow mask appeared beside the Hokage's desk, "Hai, Hokage-sama." Sarutobi said, "Bring Sasuke Uchiha to me please."

The ANBU nodded and discreetly used a Shunshin to get Sasuke and the Hokage turned to Naruto, "Since you miss the ceremony, I will enlighten you." Naruto said, "For what?" Hiruzen smirked, " Naruto Sparda, by the order of the Hokage and the esteemed shinobi council, I hereby instated you as a Chunin for your performance at the Chunin Exams and for notifying us about the invasion by Oto, also for subduing Gaara of the Desert."

Naruto said, "Are you serious?"

Sarutobi said, "Like a heart attack."

Naruto replied, "Old man, you know that you are too old to be saying that....don't scare me."

Sarutobi chuckled, "I am joking, Naruto....but yes, you are now a Chunin, which means you will be leading teams into battle, plus you had practice using those skills to help us win the invasion against Orochimaru and his Oto ninja forces."

Naruto said, "I can't take all of the credit, Gaara was weaker than I was because of his previous fight with Sasuke twice."

Sarutobi said, "That may be, but Sasuke-san is too volatile to be a Chunin right now and it is not a good time to tell him that you are a Chunin or else he will get jealous of you."

Suddenly Karasu came inside of the room along with Sasuke Uchiha. "Dobe, what are you doing here?" the Uchiha asked, "And who is this woman here?" (A/N: Kasumi Uzumaki looks like she is about 19-20). Naruto said, "This is Kasumi, one of my concubines since I fall under the Clan Restoration Act just like you and the reason I am here is the same reason you are here."

Sarutobi said, "Karasu, thank you....can you please step out of the room for a moment?" The ANBU complied and shut the door as Sarutobi did a hand sign. The walls, door and windows flashed a light blue for a moment and Sarutobi explained, "Sound Silencing Seal, your father made this when he was married to your mother, Naruto."

Naruto replied, "And I have a typical feeling on what it was originally for too."

Sarutobi chuckled a bit before turning to Sasuke, "Sasuke, I wanted to notify you of something for a very long time."

Sasuke said, "What is it?"

Sarutobi said, "The truth behind the massacre of your clan."

Sasuke said, "What? I already know the truth, my brother Itachi killed the clan to prove his strength...with his Mangekyo Sharingan."

The Hokage said, "That is correct, your brother did kill the clan....but not on his own whim.....he was ordered to do so."

Sasuke said, "What? You ordered to kill my family....my clan."

Sarutobi said, "No, I didn't....my former teammates Homura and Koharu along with Danzo, a rival of mine back in my younger days managed to grab my seal and gave the order to your brother. Danzo knew that your brother was traumatized by the Third Great Shinobi War and became a pacifist. He loves Konoha more than he loved the clan. When the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked the village, people became suspicious about the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke said angrily, "Why us? We were loyal to the village, is that why you secluded us from the village?"

Sarutobi said, "To keep both sides happy, yes. You were given your privacy and people's suspicions died down a bit. Soon the rumors of your clan attempting a coup d'etat came to our eyes, I tried to compromise with your family while the advisors used Itachi's pacifistic nature to spy on your clan."

Sasuke said, "So....the advisors were the ones who ordered my family to be killed. Why wasn't I told about this?"

Sarutobi said, "For two reasons, Sasuke-san. The first was that you were too young to understand. You were already power-hungry at the age of seven, plus you are stubborn as your father. Therefore at any time, you would have refused to believe. The second was that Itachi made me promise not to tell you and to look after you in his place."

The old Hokage sighed a bit and continued, "If I had not, Danzo would have made a move on you, making you into an emotionless shinobi and Itachi threatened him literally to kill him or he would use the truth behind the Uchiha Massacre to discredit Konoha."

Sasuke said, "So....my brother didn't kill the clan on his own whim, but why did he save me?"

Naruto said, "That is the thing, Sasuke....your brother loved you too much. He could bear killing your aunts and uncles...even your father and mother, but he couldn't bear to kill you. You were supposed to be eliminated along with your clan, but his heart was too soft when it came to you."

Sasuke said, "How do you know this?"

Naruto said, "Like Itachi, Danzo was a threat to my family as well. He has tried so hard to discover the secret behind my father's legendary jutsu, The Hiraishin."

Sasuke said, "But Itachi...his eyes were cold."

The Hokage said, "Sasuke, your brother was the best in ANBU. He was able to hide his emotions so well that nobody knew the true side of him. You were the only one that he could show his true side. Now that Danzo and my former teammates are branded as traitors, making me able to execute them, Itachi will be able to come back."

Naruto said, "But...there is another thing."

Sasuke said, "What?"

Naruto said, "There is a possibility that you will still have to kill him, Sasuke."

Sasuke said, "But Itachi is innocent..."

The Jinchuuriki replied, "That may be true and everyone would accept it because of the power the Uchiha possess, but your brother has so much blood on his hands that he can't bear the guilt of that he killed his own clan to save peace. You were chosen to be the scapegoat from his pain....killing him will mean that you will become a hero of Konoha....like my father said in his letter, you are his living legacy."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, everything that he thought was destroyed. His brother that he swore to kill was still the compassionate older brother that he knew from his childhood. The man that killed his clan was not particularly responsible for his loneliness and people on Konoha's own council were the ones who killed Itachi and the clan.

Naruto's voice woke Sasuke from his thoughts, "So what say you, Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke said, "Everything that I believed was a lie. My brother was a martyr, my family was destroyed and I have not gotten any stronger at all."

Naruto said, "Yes, you have, Sasuke...you were the first one who wounded the untouchable Gaara."

The Uchiha said, "That is not a big thing, I didn't defeat Haku...you did. I was afraid to face Orochimaru when he disguised himself as a Kusa genin, but yet you were able to fight him with your strength. You defeated Neji and I was never able to finish my match against him. Though I wouldn't admit in the open, but I couldn't defeat Gaara in my state either."

Naruto said, "That was back then because you relied on your own strength. Your strength is high, Sasuke, but the strength in numbers is better. I drew strength on the bonds I hold...from my lovers, my friends, my teachers and my comrades. You had no choice but to believe that you had to carry the burden of the Uchiha clan's honor to kill Itachi and relied on yourself....just like Gaara. Hate doesn't make you strong, Sasuke....it is love that makes you strong. If your clan was still alive and Orochimaru was trying to get a child, you including the clan would defend him at all costs."

Sasuke said, "Love?"

Naruto said, "Despite that you were a jerk back at the Academy, everyone respected you for your power. I chose you as my rival back at the Academy because....you were everything that I wanted to be. Cool and talented, a true prodigy. Love and friendship make people do anything to save someone precious to them just like you did when Haku was aiming for me."

Sasuke said, "I...I have a lot to think about, Hokage-sama, Naruto. But I want one thing.....I want to execute them....the three of them."

The Hokage said, "Retribution was inevitable, you will get it, Sasuke...an eye for an eye."

Later that day, the whole village was gathered in the village courtyard where various criminals have been executed. Today, Danzo Shimura along with Hiruzen Sarutobi's teammates, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were going to be executed including Daiki and Sakari Haruno.

The Hokage stood a few feet near Danzo knowing that he was a crafty son of a bitch. "Konoha, today is a day of retribution, a day of justice for you have all been notified of the action of the traitors, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Daiki Haruno and Sakari Haruno. The rest of the council mainly from the disbanded civilian side were in on it until they were killed in the war under the act of the First Hokage's law as we were in a time of crisis."

The villagers murmured under their breath, some of them were still in shock that the advisors were traitors and the civilian council were left to be bury in marked graves, but branded as traitors as well. The old Hokage said, "From now on, we will have two people to advise the Hokage to replace them." He looked at Koharu Utatane, "Koharu Utatane, you have been found guilty of treason, breaking the Sandaime's law and conspiracy. Because of this, you have been sentenced to death, do you have any last words that you wish to say?"

The old woman looked at her old teammate with contempt, "You are an idiot, Sarutobi. That so-called boy is dangerous and soon you will be killed along with the rest of this village without us. That is all I have to say to you."

Sarutobi ignored her rant and moved on to Homura, "Homura Mitokado, you have been found guilty of treason, breaking the Sandaime's law and conspiracy. Because of this, you have been sentenced to death, do you have any last words to say?"

Homura looked up, "I have nothing to say but this....Konoha will fall without our advisement. You are too soft, Hiruzen and that is your weakness."

Hiruzen nodded, "Thank you, Homura." He moved onto Daiki and Sakari Haruno, "Daiki Haruno, Sakari Hinara-Haruno, you both have been convicted of first-degree murder, unapproved sealing, treason and conspiracy. Do you both have any last words?"

Daiki said, "Yes, tell that demon whore that used to be my daughter that I disown her from the Haruno line."

Sakura, who was in the crowd was shocked at her father's choice of words. She was disowned from the Haruno family, meaning that she could not carry the Haruno name. Sakari searched for her former daughter's face to see the panic in her eyes....she never found them. Sakari found Sakura with a smile on her face and the worst thing about it is that Naruto was next to her with a smile on his face as well.

Sakari shouted from her restraint, "You demon whore that is what you are....not my fucking daughter. I should have put a loyalty seal on your body to make you fuck the Uchiha instead."

Sakura shouted back proudly, "I preferred being a demon whore than to betray my friends and family for power."

Sakari would rave at her until Sarutobi place a sound silencing seal on her back, making her screeching voice quiet, saving the Inuzaka clan's ears and his own. Then he moved on to Danzo, "Danzo Shimura, you have been accused of conspiracy, kidnapping, first-degree murder, interference of village affairs, allying yourself with S-Rank criminal Orochimaru, illegal use of kinjutsu, illegal use of a disbanded faction, illegal use of fuuinjutsu and attempted assassination. Do you have any last words?"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi and the crowd, "So it has come to this, eh, Sarutobi. I never did become Hokage at all, it was my dream to become the leader of this village. But....now I am discredited, you have won....Hiruzen Sarutobi. You are truly the Professor, but peace will not help you win your battles."

Sarutobi said, "Danzo, you were a good rival to me, we both had different views on running Konoha. War and absolute dictatorship will not win battles, but spread death. Peace can't stop battles either, but it will give us time to have a composure together and live together in harmony."

Danzo chuckled, "You are a fool, Sarutobi. One of these days you are going to die without a successor."

Sarutobi laughed and said, "You are right, I was close to death...until a couple of friends saved me from the Shinigami. I have chosen a successor already....one of my own students..."

Danzo said, "That buffoon, Jiraiya?"

Sarutobi replied, "No, Tsunade of the Sannin."

Danzo said, "You are bluffing, Tsunade will not set foot in this village, she swore that on the graves of her brother and lover."

The old Hokage said, "That is why we are going to go get her....knowing your friend and my student, he will seek her out to heal his arms. Now you will be executed now....this is goodbye, Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Meet your executioners, Naruto Sparda and.....Sasuke Uchiha.

Danzo's eyes widened as he thought, "He told him....damn it."

The elders looked at Sasuke's face, which was a bit calm, but his eyes was furious and his Sharingan was flashing briefly on and off. "I hereby execute Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Daiki Haruno and Sakari Haruno....let them be an example to people who betray their friends and family."

Sasuke immediately threw a kunai, ending the lives of Danzo, Homura and Koharu while Naruto swiftly ended Sakura's parents' lives. The villagers along with Sakura winced at how the elders and her parents slumped over themselves.

Sarutobi said, "ANBU, take them away from here....bury them in unmarked graves."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, ninjas always wanted to be remembered for generations. When an unmarked grave for the elders and Danzo along with the parents of Sakura Haruno.....meant nobody would remember their name over time. Then the Hokage said, "Now as the power invested in me, I would like to inform you that I will step down from my position as Hokage."

The crowd murmured and became restless about the Hokage's decision. "I know that Konoha still needs a leader....I will be one of the advisors on the council along with Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka. In the meantime, my old student Jiraiya will be the one to retrieve our new Hokage. Our Hokage will not be revealed until further notice."

Later, after the villagers dispersed from the premises and Sasuke went home for a while. He felt a bit relieved that he got his clan's true killers and at the same time, he just made three kills at once. Naruto on the other hand, had no qualms against killing since he was used to it by exterminating demons.

Sakura turned to see Naruto in the crowd and she strode towards her teammate, "Naruto-kun..." The Jinchuuriki turned to see Sakura approach him and said, "Hey, Sakura-chan, are you okay with...you know?" Sakura said, "I am fine, Naruto-kun....they stopped being my parents the minute they decided to kill my sister and seal her soul within me"

Naruto said, "They what?"

Sakura said, "When we got separated to fight those Oto ninjas, I defeated them and told Lee that I was going ahead. Then my parents alerted their presence by aiming a kunai at me and told me that they were here to convince me that you were the Kyuubi. I told them off and my so-called mother told me that they killed my sister because she was kind to you, then erased the memories from me. They also put an inhibitor to make her influence nothing to me when she started to imprint her own personality on my brain."

Naruto said, "So I wasn't crazy when I saw two of you...."

Sakura said, "So....you saw her once?"

Naruto said, "Yes, that is why I liked you in the Academy....but I didn't know which was which. The next day, you were the only one that had the same description as her, so I started to chase you."

The former Haruno said, "So....that was why...I am so stupid."

SLAP! Sakura turned her head in shock to face Naruto with his hand outstretched. Naruto said, "Sakura, this was not your fault....it was your parents' fault that you had a seal on you, trapping your sister inside your mind. It was your parents' fault for putting an loyalty seal to the Uchiha on you....I wonder how did you break it."

Sakura said, "Maybe it was when Ino entered my body in the Chunin Exams. Using my sister's persona to break Ino's connection could have destroyed the seal."

Naruto said, "That is a likely possibility that could be the explanation...I will ask Ero-Sennin to remove the inhibitor seal once we get back from the trip."

Sakura said, "Wait...you are going to find the new Hokage with Jiraiya-sama?"

The Jinchuuriki replied, "Yeah, I am....Ero-Sennin is apparently going to train me over the trip, so I will be leaving for a while."

Sakura protested, "B-But you can't..."

Naruto was surprised at her outburst and asked, "Why not, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura whispered with a rosy blush on her face, "Because...because.....because..."

Naruto smiled and lifted her chin, "Because you love me too, right?"

The former Haruno said, "They told you?"

Naruto replied, "Told me what?"

Sakura said, "That I realized that I love you..."

Naruto said, "Nobody told me about that, Sakura. It is just that Kasumi admitted the same thing this morning and she was just as nervous as you were to tell me this. I can't say that I love you....but I will learn to do so."

Sakura said, "Arigotou, Naruto-kun....be careful, I just confessed my feelings and I don't want you to die."

Naruto said with a grin, "Don't worry, I will be fine....I have to become Hokage first, right?"

Sakura smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "I will be waiting..."

Naruto said, "Right, but before I go....that was not a kiss." He grabbed her and pulled her close, "But this is..."

He kissed her fully on the mouth and Sakura was surprised at the gentle kiss Naruto gave her. She leaned into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her man.

Then the Sparda pulled her away, making the bubblegum-haired gum whimper at the lack of affection. "Sorry, but that is for you to wait on for when I get back....I will be back here, I promise."

Sakura nodded and Naruto left with his guitar holding Berial and Alastor inside. "Ready to go, gaki?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto replied, "I'm ready, Ero-sennin." Jiraiya protested, "I thought I told you not to call me that...." Naruto said, "That is after the fact I read that you peeped on my mother once..."

Jiraiya whined, "But that was only one time...one time."

Naruto said, "And you still do it...why not go with Tsunade?"

Jiraiya said, "What do you mean?"

Naruto replied, "From what I see, you are just like me...we were both idiots chasing girls that we wanted, but they wanted the genius or rookie of the year. Your team was Orochimaru, you and Tsunade. Orochimaru was the genius and you were the dobe. Therefore your team was just like mine...right?"

Jiraiya said, "You are quite perceptive..."

Naruto said, "From Kakashi's description of our team, he was Sasuke, I was Obito, and Sakura-chan was Rin. Same concept with your team.....I am you, Sakura is Tsunade and Sasuke is Orochimaru. I would not be surprised if Sasuke defected to him to gain power since I am receiving training, but who would receive training for Tsunade."

Jiraiya said, "We better go....she tends to move from place to place."

Naruto said, "So according to Oji-san, she is a combat medic with super strength, also the granddaughter of the Shodaime and grandniece of the Nidaime. She was known as the Legendary Sucker because of her seemingly bad luck, former teammates with Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Survived a fight against Salamander Hanzo, gaining the title of Sannin. She left the village because of the death of her brother, Nawaki Senju and her lover, Dan."

Jiraiya added, "And she had the biggest pair of tits you would ever see..."

Naruto said, "I am going to ignore that and this is why you always got your ass kicked by her with your lewd comments, Ero-Sennin."

Jiraiya snorted, "Any way we have to hurry, Orochimaru lost his arms by your friends and Tsunade is the only person who can purge demonic chakra from his arms to regain his jutsu."

Naruto gritted his teeth in anger, "I am going to kill him...."

Jiraiya said, "Not if I reached him first, Naruto....I am kinda pissed at him too, you know."

Naruto said, "True, you are the teammate and friend of him and I am the boyfriend of the girl he betrayed and somewhat of a friend of his chosen vessel."

Jiraiya said, "We will get him together...come on, we are wasting time."

The two moved toward the next town, but little did they know that two people in cloaks with a high cowl covering the bottom part of their face. The hats covered their eyes and the cloaks were black.....with red clouds.

Hakureisaiga- There we go....classic execution and now we are on the hunt for Tsunade. Orochimaru has escaped with barely his life along with Kabuto. Kasumi and Sakura have finally confessed to Naruto. Tune in next time....
