AN: welcome to the next installment of this story, I am sorry that my updates take so long but I don't have word on my computer at home so I have a hard time getting things done. The only place that has word is the library in my town; I can't go there that often though. As usual I ask for any helpful advice or review any flamers or hate will be ignored. I would also like to encourage people to read my other story that I have posted, I will switch back and forth on updating the two stories.

Ch. 5 The return of the Hero

Last time on dragon ball Z (oops I mean naruto)

When they reached the gate all of the demons were killed and the only ones standing there were a group of people wearing the same symbol on their jackets, however the one that stood out the most was a tall man with hair similar to minato. The two most defining features on the person were his piercing blue eyes and his whisker marks on his cheeks. Minato and kushina both had one thought going through their head "Naruto?" they said simultaneously (the symbol on their jackets is the Expendables symbol from the movies)

Present time:

Minato and kushina couldn't believe their eyes their missing son was standing right in front of them but instead of being the same age as the other genin he was a full grown adult. Both wondered what happened to their son and who the people were with him. "How do you know our leaders name and who are you? " A woman with long red hair asked she was wearing black boots with black pants and a red vest and red and black jacket. She also had two different blades at her waist "we know his name because he is our son" minato said "that is not possible I thought my parents died the night I was born" naruto coolly stated Naruto was uneasy because his parents were alive and he didn't know wither or not they had intentionally left in the village on purpose. "After the sealing the death god did not take my soul but instead left me weakened, your mother knew of a place she could take me to be healed but we had to leave you in the village for your own safety" Minato said. Naruto could tell that they told him no lies, thanks to the village he is able to tell when someone is lying to him. Naruto just sighed and held his head; he could feel a headache coming on from just trying to make sense of this madness. "I can tell you're not lying to me, but that doesn't mean either of you are forgiven just yet the three of us will sit down and have a nice long chat in the future. In which you will answer my questions" naruto said. Minato and kushina both sighed at least their son was going to give them a chance. "Naruto where have you been for the past six months?" kushina asked "I have been gone for only six months." Naruto stated Time must move differently in the dimensions and worlds I have visited naruto thought to him. "It's a long and complicated story I was originally kidnapped from the village by strange people who then brought me to a doctor who was ordered by some else to turn me into a weapon" Naruto said. Before naruto could continue on with the explanation an anbu dropped in. "Lord Hokage the council has called a meeting to talk about the group at the main gates and the fact that your son is leading them" he said. Minato sighed annoyed that his reunion with his son is interrupted by the council. "Naruto I would like you and a few members of your group to come with me to the council chambers" minato said. "All right I will come with you to the meeting I want Zhuge, Mamiya, Ryu, and zeno to come with me to the council chambers. (Zhuge Liang sleeping dragon from puzzles and dragons forest Image, Mamiya from fist of the north star but with her wearing the clothes previously described, Ryu from street fighter and Zeno from hunter x hunter 2011) Therest of the group go into town and get something to eat. With that the two groups headed out. Minato and kushina couldn't help but stare at their son, multiple questions running through their minds. "Why do you look like an adult and where have you been?" kushina asked "My changes and my disappearance from the village where caused by a mad doctor under the command of some else, how long have I been missing? "Naruto asked. "You have been missing for six months, son." Minato said "While It may have been gone for that amount of time in the elemental nations I am afraid the amount of time that I have been missing is a lot longer than that." Naruto stated however; before naruto could explain on what he meant the group had already reached the council chambers.

Naruto sighed to himself and couldn't help remember all the times he has been brought here and forced to listen to the civilian council complaining about him and accusing him of everything imaginable. "Is something the matter dad?" Mamiya asked "No, nothing just old memories acting up." Naruto said Naruto then opened the doors and the group stepped into the room. The full council was in attendance even sarutobi was present acting as an advisor to minato though. "Hokage sama, would you tell us who the people with you are?" one of the nameless civilian members asked. "I see you chose to take back your old position minato" naruto stated minato sighed at the way his son addressed him. "It's been a long while old man your looking older than the last time I saw you." Naruto stated Sarutobi wondered who this person was and why did he address him in such a familiar way, it wasn't until he saw the whisker marks on his cheeks did he recognize who he was. "Naruto, is that you?" sarutobi "It's me old man it's been a while since we last saw each other hasn't. When the civilian council saw it was the demon come back they went into an uproar.

"The demon has returned we must kill it before it can take its revenge on us." One of the civilian members said naruto shook his head in annoyance after being gone for so long he figured the idiots would grow a brain and realize he is not the nine tailed fox. Thinking that naruto couldn't help but think back to his friends sacrifice to save him, even after so long he still misses the big fuzz ball. "I thought I made myself clear my son is not a demon" kushina said "Enough, we don't have time for this; we what to know where you have been boy" danzo said "you still act the same way danzo" naruto thought to himself. Naruto never trusted the elder he always got bad vibes from him. "To answer your question I was taken from the village by an unknown group of solders under the command of a mad doctor, the doctor then experimented on me, it wasn't until later on that I found out he was following orders from someone else." Naruto said "What happened to the fox I can no longer sense it's energy from inside you" kushina "The fox is gone it died from the stress of the experiments done to me" naruto said

"Hurray the fox is gone" a nameless civilian council member said. Naruto sighed to himself he should have known that the news of his friends death would only bring joy to the villagers. "Who are the people that where with you at the gate?" minato asked they are part of a group that I formed, after the fox was fully absorbed the seal the energy caused the arch stone gate (The stone arch gate from the first Borderlands game that the final boss comes out of) to react and activate some sort of portal and suck me inside, after that I have been traveling all over just trying to get home and meeting new people and making comrades along the way" naruto said "I believe we should detain these people and take their weapons and powers for the good of the village" danzo stated calmly. "And what makes you think I will allow that to happen." Naruto stated calmly "I will not let you hurt my group for your own desires. "Naruto said danzo said nothing in replay but glared at naruto for his defiance of his will. "The boy has become far more difficult to deal with in his time away from the village" danzo thought "Are these people always like this, demanding people to do what they want?" Ryu asked "Pretty much" naruto said

The council room soon descended into a massive argument over naruto's return and his group of people he brought with him. Finally minato had enough. "Everyone be quiet" minato said "But Hokage-sama; we don't know if these people are trust worthy or not they could try to bring us harm" a nameless council member said While this was going on naruto couldn't help but sigh to himself over what a pain the council was being. Minato then remembered how his son's group easily took out the demons at the gate and got an idea. "Naruto you and your team a well experienced at fighting demons right?" minato asked "yeah we are" naruto said "Son; I would like to hire you and your group to help protect the village against the demons." Minato said "Hokage sama, are you sure that this is a good idea we don't need any help from this person or his team we don't even know if they will be able to handle the demons at all?" a nameless council member asked

"Our group can easily handle anything and anyone that gets put in our way." Mamiya stated in a confidante tone "be careful Mamiya, don't let yourself become to overconfident." Zhuge Liang said "Is that so then perhaps you wouldn't mine a little wager would you?" Rose haruno asked it didn't take long for naruto and his group to see where this was going. "I take it you want to test our skills to see if we are telling the truth." Naruto calmly stated "Yes; we will have five different battles our leaf shinobi vs. your group." Danzo said "And what of the wager?" Zhuge asked "if naruto's group wins they can do what the fourth wants but if they lose they must turn over all of their weapons and gear." Danzo said the council descended into an uproar following the end of Danzo's sentence. "That's fine with me, I have full confidence in my team" naruto stated with no hesitation. The other members of the group we seeing what naruto meant what he said about the council being a pain to deal with. "Four of the five battles will against the field specialists of the leaf and the final battle will be leader against leader battle." Danzo said.

"So my team will be up against the jonin teachers sounds easy enough." Naruto thought to himself. Before anything else could be said a strange white light flashed inside the room, when the light died done there were several new people in the room, the members of the group that could be identified were met with shock because currently standing in the room are the first and second Hokages, Mito, and Madara. In the room also was beautiful woman who radiated power. "I am kami; I am here to speak with naruto" No one in the council room said anything everyone was to frozen in shock to answer.
