Naruto: The Missing Anbu Commander
Chapter 3: Konoha's Punishment, Training
Konohagakure
Iro, scowled as he and his men walked through Konoha. Right now he had 6 Fire Guardian's surrounding him and his whole army marching through Konoha. Right now he was heading for the Kage Tower. As he did so he and his guardians all scowled at what they were seeing...
Konoha's populace even with a few shinobi, were all either partying or going all out in bars drinking to their hearts content. What made it all the worse was that...
The bastards all had things resembling Kyuubi, Mito or Naruto. They had seen a group of civilians having a burning of these things as they chanted a song. Hell they even saw some spitting on the model's or pictures of the three.
Iro was livid! He was 100% sure now, he was gonna give Konoha a one way trip to hell with this. He wasn't gonna destroy it, no not at all...
But he was gonna give its people and shinobi populace a real good kick in the ass that they needed.
''Can't believe this is how Konoha turned out, and to disrespect the Mito-chan and Naruto-kun this way...it sickens me'' Tou said, she got agreements from the others as well even Asuma did, the man may be Hiruzen's son, but he had always detested the way his father did things, even when he himself had made friends with Naruto and first met Mito when she was only 3, he had warmed up to them and become something of a uncle figure to Mito and brother figure to Naruto.
Iro nodded as he ignored the shocked looks they were all getting from the populace, ''Yes, that's right Konoha has fallen from where it stood long ago...''he said, Tou grunted as she spoke,
''''Pftt yeah, they fell...Iro-sama, real hard...''she said,
He nodded in agreement before they reached the Kage Tower, after this he turned around and spoke, ''Men!, go surround the Village everything from the wall's to the Hokage Monument, I want every inch of this village surrounded so no one tries to leave.''he said getting a resounding nod from them all before they marched off to do as ordered.
Iro then turned toward the surrounding populace of both citizen and shinobi alike and spoke, ''Now citizen's of Konoha along with its shinobi I'm only gonna give you one warning bring me Hiruzen Sarutobi in 10 seconds or I will burn Konoha to the ground, now move or I will fulfill what I just said!''Iro commanded. This got the reaction of the Shinobi dashing to the Hokage's mansion.
Iro then turned toward Tou and spoke as his voice echoed over the deadly silent crowd,''Tou-san, I want you along with Chiriku bring me those that are close to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, go!''he said.
''Hai!'' they said in unison, before disappearing in a shushin
When some heard naruto's name some grew fearful as their eyes searching everywhere, possibly that the Namikaze would come out to kill them. Others smirked knowing what happened to the man, that had grew a terrifying reputation among Konoha.
Exactly at 9 seconds Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared with his Teammates, they looked ahead of them to see Iro's piercing brown eyes on their forms. They suddenly paled for some reason.
Iro then stated, ''Once my elites come back here, then we can begin, until then if you so much as move Hiruzen Sarutobi or your teammates I shall have you killed...''he said with dangerous tone that promised what he said.
The shinobi suddenly tensed seeing as their leader was threatened by someone higher up then their Hokage. Hiruzen frowned at this and did exactly what he said.
3 minutes later Tou with Chiriku arrived with Yugao, Anko, Hana, Kurenai, The Clan Head's, Teuchi and Ayame Ichiraku, and lastly Sasuke. The former wearing a hospital gown and looked dead beat tired, but was awake enough to be there.
Hiruzen clicked his teeth in irritation they found Sasuke he was hoping to get to the boy and either make him loyal to konoha or kill him. When he looked back up he saw Iro nodding at the ones Naruto was close to.
''Alright, since everyone is here I'm gonna be talking one interruption form anyone will mean instant death no questions asked, Understand?''he said voice with commandance coming off his like a raging river. They all nodded without question while some were actually hesitant to do so.
''Good I can at least see some of you Konoha aren't as stupid as I thought you'd be.''he said getting some scowling at him, but he waved it off for he didn't care what they thought.
''Now the reason I'm here for, you see I've come upon interesting information from a friend of mine, and from what I heard some of you think you can undermine my authority!''he said his gaze lingering on Sarutobi and his teammates.
''You see, what I have come across is that my good friend, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze had been forced to flee from Konoha taking his sister Mito Uzumaki Namikaze with him. Why I say this? It's because several of you had been trying for year's to kill Mito with him protecting her. This brought upon Naruto the now Ex-Anbu-Sotaicho leaving Konoha becoming a Missing-nin.''he said with his now angry eyes on Hiruzen.
Some of the villagers acted a bit smugly at that knowing that the 'demon' and its 'Demonic Guardian' was gone for good. Though those that were close to Naruto namely his Ex-squad, The Clan head's, The Ichiraku's shake in anger and sadness.
They had gotten letters from Naruto when he disappeared with Mito. They had read and knew what happened, what Hiruzen and his teammates decided to do. The threat against Mito's life and order of the Uchiha Clan's Massacre. That was another thing it stated he helped Itachi killing the ones that were truly the usurpers, he stated they had spared to innocents that didn't know of the Coup.
Sasuke looked at the ground in sadness 'he' always looked up to Naruto like Itachi, Naruto was a great role-model to 'him'. Sasuke always wanted to be strong like 'Itachi' and Naruto they were two of the most well respected shinobi within Konoha, that is until the massacre where it was reported when naruto was sighted helping Itachi kill the clan. That was another thing 'he' always thought about...
What did 'Itachi' mean that night, when 'he' said he was protecting the ones that were important to 'him'. When Sasuke heard naruto was sighted he refused to believe it, but couldn't help but think it was true since Naruto was best friends with 'Itachi'.
''Also he stated that, during the night he left Konoha. He had honestly told me that he did help in the now recorded 'Uchiha Massacre'. But he had his reason's that only I and one 'Itachi Uchiha' know of. But I'm here now to warn you Konoha as a whole, besides those that were close to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. That if any harm is to come to Naruto or Mito I will personally burn Konoha to the ground be damned your a shinobi village, I've let you all rot in your fester thinking your all invincible. Since the Three Shinobi War's, I've let you run on to much of a short leash, and the actions have brought out the consequences of one of the finest men I knew and a innocent girl and one Clan's extinction. I'm going to reprimand you Konoha as a whole.''he said
After he said this he took a sweep of everyone and he saw mixed reactions some from anger, rage, or hatred. Others had what looked like fear, shock or regret, but he didn't give a care they were going to pay for their actions especially their Leader...
''First off the punishment going against me and going behind my back, is usually met with total annihilation from my army, but I'm gonna do something else. From now on all Mission's from S-Rank's will now be taken away from Konoha and shipped to other countries that need it. Some like Sunagakure, Taigakure, Kumogakure, and even Kirigakure. Also from now on the budget from me that helped pay for most of your expenses has been cut down to 60%. Also from now on, if you even try go behind my back again, next time I won't be as lenient and will destroy all of Konoha.''he said, Iro then looked at the now shocked still crowd and seething Hiruzen.
He then motioned for the ones closest to Naruto to come closer, after which when he saw Sasuke he smiled seeing as Hitomi didn't kill all those and would need to keep an eye out for Sasuke's well being. ''Also these people will be under my protection and if anyone tries to hurt them or a member of their clan, will be killed whether or not you plead to the Hokage, nothing will stop your death.'' He then looked at Hiruzen and his Teammates angry forms
''Now you...Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage, you are now officially hereby ripped of your position as Hokage and also the Council will be abolished as well. Until a new Hokage that is actually level-minded and doesn't try to go behind my back is brought to my attention, I will be having the Clan Head's be making the Decision's with the final say being myself with a via a messenger bird sent to me from them. Now as for punishment Sarutobi you and your teammates will now have your Chakra sealed away with your leg's and arms sealed also which will only allow minimal movement to that of a civilian.''he said.
This made Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure, Kami no Shinobi, The Professor lose it, ''No, you will not do this!''he said with a snap of his fingers his Personal Anbu appeared battle ready. Danzo agreeing with his old rival ''ROOT!'' he said with his emotionless men jumping out from the shadows.
This got some Villagers hoping they would be able to kill the Damiyo...
They were sorely mistaken when Iro himself jumped from where he stood and with astonishing strength he landed infront of the troop's, with a calm stop of his hand he stopped his Guardian's and spoke, ''You are so power-hungry you would defy the Damiyo?...Oh how low Konoha has fallen since the Shodaime and Nidaime's reign...''he said.
''Shut up!'' Sarutobi yelled dressed in his old shinobi battle gear. Iro shook his head at Hiruzen's stupidity. ''I see your all gonna try and kill me...Very well...let me show you...why I'm called...The Fire Damiyo...''he said his eyes now dead serious with a steel edge at the tone.
With that the troops charged at Iro, despite this though Iro looked calm and bored. ''Die, you pathetic worms'' he said, before gathering surprisingly fire into his right palm before thrusting it forward. ''Hi-ken (Fire Fist)'' he stated. The Fire exploded off his Fist taking the shape of a giant Flaming orange fist. This took the charging shinobi by surprise and they paid the cost, that is being burnt alive by the orange and red flames.
Iro ignored their screams of pain and anguish while glaring at Sarutobi's trembling form. He motioned for his Guardian's and Samurai to go ahead and shackle down the four traitor's. While this was happening Iro walked over to Naruto's friends and surprisingly smiled, ''Sorry we didn't come earlier, Naruto only arrived the day before, he did everything he could to ensure the safety of those that followed him and the ones here. That's why I'm here, he asked for my help and I accepted, there will be no worrying of what happens now, Konoha is now under my rule until a more suitable Hokage is found...''he said.
''A-ano, Damiyo-sama excuse me for asking, but where is Naruto-kun?'' Ayame asked, The question on everyone's mind. Iro just smiled, ''Naruto, is heading for Kumo with Mito, The Current Raikage of Kumo is a long-time friend of his parents, now wait a second Hyuuga-san for I know there is much hate amongst your clan and Kumogakure, but This Raikage is the one who overthrew the last who at the time held the mission for capturing one of your won. So there is no need...''he said stopping Hiashi from saying something.
Yugao though asked, ''But why would he head there? Is it to get away from Konoha's Hunter-nin?''she said worried for her Ex-Anbu-sotaicho. Iro shook his head with his face holding a frown. ''No, hes heading there to train himself and Mito,. That is all I know for now...''he said looking at Yugao. This got a sigh of relief from most almost all of them,
''Ugh, That's Naruto-kun alright, always training with him, if there's one thing he needs to cut back on its training, hell he has even little Mito hooked into training, those two are a pair of stamina freaks''Anko said with humor in her tone.
Iro just laughed at this before they were interrupted by Asuma coming up from behind Iro before bowing, ''Iro-sama, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three teammates have been captured, danzo though did his best to be fight, but we outnumbered him and is now in Chakra cuffs and Chakra draining seals.'' said the Samurai, Iro just grinned.
Iro looked back and spoke, ''Now, all of you I'm gonna say this now as a order from myself if any and I do mean any civilian or shinobi alike try hurt you in anyway since your friendly with Naruto and Mito, you are to kill them.''he said, getting surprised looks from them all, and since they were about to question him he spoke,
''I tell you this because, Konoha's villagers and Shinobi alike are what I've said they are nothing more then arrogant discriminant fool's that think they are invincible, and before this I wasn't all that worried for Konoha except for Naruto and Mito, but now I see it was my mistake so many things happened. From now on, I'm gonna leave Konoha in the hands of those Naruto trusted more then anyone else.''he said getting hesitant nods from them all.
''Good then I shall take my leave, and don't worry...you'll here from Naruto again...trust me...'' Iro said with a laugh, with that Iro turned toward to his gathered Troop's, ''We leave then''he said getting a 'Hai' from them all.
''I hope hes doing okay...''said Kurenai, only to get a snort from Hana, ''Hah, of course hes fine Naruto-kun is strong Kurenai, stronger then we all think he'll be fine''she finished cheering up a saddened Kurenai.
''You got that right!'' Anko said
Kami's Realm
Naruto groaned as he started to open his eyes, he could faintly remember talking to Mito before he passed out then nothing. When he looked around himself all he saw was pure white, nothing more then that. The last time he was in something like this it was in Megami's realm or as its called 'Limbo' he got up from the bed and walked a few feet looking around the area.
''You've grown, Naruto-kun...''said a voice that was familiar to the blond. When he looked behind him his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, infront of him was none of than Megami along with a Silver-haired Goddess in his opinion. Though he looked back at Megami with shock and surprise.
''M-megami i-is that you?''he said still questioning if he was still dreaming. Megami only smiled before walking closer to him, when she was close enough she spoke, ''Let this proof it to you that it is me...''she said before capturing his lips once more. Naruto's eyes along with Kami's popped wide open at her direct action, though he didn't back away and instead hugged her closer into his body. He could feel the same shiver from last time he kissed go down his back and knew...this was Megami...
Megami though was moaning when he brought her closer it actually surprised her with his action, even more so when he started rubbing her back sensually. She was really enjoying this, but she had to put an end to the kiss...
for now...
So with that with a hesitant grab, Naruto was pushed a bit away from her till they were only an inch from each other. She then laid her head on his shoulder humming a satisfying tone. Naruto just smiled running a hand through her soft silky hair.
That's when he realized they weren't alone, so with a quick snap of attention. He looked up to see a grinning Kami. He nudged Megami who was still comfortable in his arms looked up at him then behind her. That's when her face grew a furious blush and jumped away from him.
This action confused Naruto, but he shrugged and spoke, ''Um, its nice to see you again Megami-chan it truly is, but who's your friend here? She looks like your twin or something.''he said scratching the back of his head.
Kami just smirked at Naruto, and before Megami knew what was going on...
Kami had already appeared right infront of Naruto giving him an appraising eye. ''Yep, your right Megami-chan he certainly is quite handsome and still growing.''Kami said. Oblivious to Naruto's blush of embarrassment.
Megami just looked on before smiling, ''Yeah, but we do have more important things to do then flirt with Naruto-kun even if its been so many years since I've seen him...''she said, Naruto just sighed in relief which megami caught and smirked evilly.
''besides we can do more then flirt with him later on~~~''shes aid in a sultry tone. Naruto just went rigid as a shiver of either fear or excitement go down his spine, he didn't know which one it was, but he knew one thing...
He couldn't wait for what she was planning...
He shook his head of those thoughts and spoke, ''Um, Megami-chan could you please explain to me how I got here or whats this place called? Or the fact we haven't seen each other in years?''he said, Megami just smiled at him before speaking, ''Well for your first two questions this realm is kami's she's my sister.''she said pointing at the waving Kami. ''And why we haven't seen each other for long is because I wanted to wait on you to get stronger, before I gave you more info from me personally of what being my Avatar entails.''she said.
Naruto blinked in surprise before smiling, ''Ah I see no wonder she's as beautiful as you are, as well as you two looking alike.''he said not seeing the blush upon Kami's face, when he gave her that compliment. Though megami did and decided to file it for later.
''Now, Naruto I know your probably wondering why your here, well I can already tell you...your still unconscious from your fight with...''she said, but was interrupted,
''Ulquiorra'' he said with a frown. Megami blinked and nodded ''Yes, Ulquiorra now I know your gonna ask questions so I'm just gonna explain to you what he was and what type of being he is, ok?''she said, getting a nod from Naruto.
''Good sit down this is gonna take a while''kami said snapping her fingers and out of thin air, four chairs and a table came Naruto raised an eyebrow at the action, but shrugged it off since Kami was a Goddess, but he did wonder what t he fourth chair was for.
''Good now where to start...Oh I know we start from the beginning of when the living world was created.''she began. Megami told him of when the world was created everything was peaceful, there was no fighting, no bloodshed, no war or death. Everyone lived in harmony with each other,
''But then disaster struck when the first ever war between the first humans happened...How it happened was beyond anyone except that all we know is someone tried to overthrow the God's exacting in a war between the ones who tried to overthrow us and the ones who worshiped us.''she said, she told him of when the war ended the world was almost a complete wasteland, but had flourished once more into the world Naruto knew. The technologies the first humans used was forever destroyed and forgotten. ''But the ones that died in the war were the problem.''said Kami, Naruto tilted his head in confusion.
''What? How could the dead be a problem?''he said
''Well the spirits of the ones that died in the war either were confused or were completely filled with hatred of how they died or were still angry of the past and couldn't leave that behind.''Megami said
''So, what happened? I know something had to be done with the dead spirits''Naruto said
''Your right...something did happen Me and Kami decided on a way to help as best as we could, that being the spirits that looking for a way to pass over and be accepted were taken by me into Heaven so they could forever leave the living world in peace, and live the rest of there immortal lifes in heaven.''Kami said
''Then...what happened with the ones that were filled with anger? Or the hatred during that war?'' Naruto said, but when he saw Megami and Kami's saddened expression he mentally scolded himself for asking.
''T-they...had become...no...they turned into monsters...the emotions they had to the living world kept them chained there till the emotions ate away at them...turning them into what we call...a Hollow...A being that is created from dead spirits that has the negative emotions of dying, either it be from sadness of they died, anger of how it happened, Hatred at who did it, all kinds of emotions like this is how they were created.''Megami said as a tear fell from her face. Naruto flinched at this while putting a hand on hers to at least comfort her.
This seemed to work and she smiled weakly at him before continuing, ''They were creatures of all shapes and sizes, and all they were after changing were rampaging, hungry monsters, they fed on the spirits of the dead. We didn't know what to do with them until after years of thinking we finally decided to created a dimension for themselves. This place was called Huceo Mundo, this place was their home and battlefield all at the same time. After this we locked the dimension away from the Living world, Heaven, and finally Hell. After this decision was made, we made a way that if a hollow was created it would be reverted back to Huceo Mundo.''Megami said, taking a deep breath before looking into Naruto's eyes.
''What you fought Naruto was rather in a common case, a Hollow, but a very rare breed of one for you see you fought against something called an Arrancar, its a hollow that has went through its stages of normal, Menos, Adjuchas, then Vasto Lorde, that was originally the final form of what any hollow could become, but...''Kami said, but a hesitant look came upon her face.
Naruto saw this and and spoke, ''Let me take a guess...something happened to be making these rare hollows transforming into these Arrancars?''he said, getting surprised nods from them both, that's when his face set in a frown of thought.
''That's right, and you Naruto are quite possibly lucky enough to have lived against that man, for you see you might have thought he was going all out against you, but...''Megami said, but was interrupted when Naruto's eyes changed to the bright blue.
''I know...I could feel it, the man was still toying with me...even with the limiter off and even then...Bankai...wasn't enough...''Naruto said before he scowled remembering the interruption of that, the very thing he's been holding back. He flinched when he felt a flick at his forehead, he blinked while touching at the red spot. He looked up to see Megami having her hand in a flicking motion, with her beautiful face set in a frown.
''Naruto-kun we know this, we saw it happen, but then again that man was beyond a hollow itself.''she said shocking him, ''Also...we saw what happen when you lost consciousness, how you lost control of your body...Naruto-kun...I'm sure you have questions of what that thing truly is, but...not even me or Kami truly know all we can tell you is that...its your inner hollow...''she said.
Naruto just closed his eyes in thought, he reeled in what they told him everything from the first humans, the first war, the creation of hollows, to how his world came to be. He grit his teeth remembering how he couldn't even beat Ulquiorra, he then remembered that...hollow within him...
That's when he steeled his eyes and set his path up for the future, he opened his eyes getting a slight gasp from Kami and Megami, for his eyes were now different...
They were the eyes of a hollow, but..
There was a ethereal blue glowing outlining his pupil.
But they disappeared, but they saw it...
''Very well, I'll just have to get stronger...damn the what ever limit I have to go through. I'll get stronger then ever before, I'll go through the nine levels of hell and back to get stronger then Ulquiorra or anyone else! I'll become The Avatar you would be proud of Megami-chan, I'll become the being of death for the living world. I'll become your judgment and executioner, and no one...will stand in my way of that!'' he yelled, as a unnatural wind blue from him.
This got startled reactions from them both, before Megami smiled lovingly at her Avatar,
'Baka, you already made me proud...'
Kami though couldn't help, but let a shiver of excitement go down her spine, when she saw the look in his eyes for just that moment and of his personally declaration. She couldn't help, but feel Naruto was gonna be something more then her sisters Avatar in the future, she didn't know what, but she just had a feeling he was gonna become something even greater then that.
So it was a weird scene when she moved over to him and did the last thing either of them thought she would do...
She caressed his face before pulling him into a kiss, She knew this would either get a tongue lashing from Megami or questions of why she did it, but right now she didn't care all she wanted to do was give this man a chance at many others before him never did.
The chance to steal her heart away, and in time maybe...just maybe...she will fall for him...
After snaking her tongue through his shocked mouth she explored a little before she wrapped her tongue around his own before pulling back. When she opened her eyes half-lifted she saw the dazed expression on naruto's face and the shocked one from Megami. She smiled at her sister reassuringly with the underlining message saying 'I'll explain later'.
With that Kami grabbed naruto's shoulders and spoke, ''Now go Naruto-kun, and fulfill your promise to Megami-chan and myself. Become strong naruto-kun become something that will make even the Heaven's shift and hell tremble, until then...Protect Mito-chan, because I'm sure...she's gonna become someone very important to you later on...''she said in a sultry tone at the end.
This made naruto blush at that knowing she knew of what happen between himself and Mito. That's when he felt a hand on his other shoulder he looked and saw Megami smiling at him. ''Like Kami-chan said Naruto-kun, Become stronger. Become the true Avatar of death I know you will be, don't worry of your past sin's the people you've killed...they have pasted on into heaven no baring any ill will towards you. So no more of you regretting what you've done in your life, you hear me?''she said in a tone that sounded like a mother scolded her child.
Naruto just blinked before smiling, true he had been getting the nightmares of what he has done, The Mission's he was given, the slaughtering, the murder, the outright genocide he was ordered to do. It tore him up inside for what he has done, but hearing the soothing voice from megami and comfort that both her and kami excluded made him feel so at ease it erased what he has done from his mind.
A tear fell from his face as he spoke,''Thank you, Megami-chan...Kami-chan''he said as both Goddess held him, as this happened Naruto's body started to face from his feet on up. Kami saw this and looked to see Megami seen it as well. They held him tighter as he started to fade they spoke,''Naruto-kun, the next time you see us...I hope...you can fully open to the ones that love you...Goodbye...Naruto-kun...''they said in Unison.
Naruto heard them, but his eyes kept closing. Though he did smile softly when they said the last part...Maybe...just maybe...he can love...
With that Naruto's body disappeared in their arms and away from their realm. They both had tears going down their eyes, not from sadness yes they were gonna miss him, but they were tears of happiness knowing they would see him again in the years to come and knew he would be a lot stronger then he already was.
That's when a shimmer appeared behind them, so it was not a surprise to them that Kushina appeared out of the shimmer of white energy with tear's going down her face with a small pink hue added to her face. She had been there through the whole thing by Kami and Megami's advice and what she saw had been shocking her once upon time son, had grown into a powerful and wonderful man. He was already grown up and despite being 15 years old, He would be the heart break if many women.
She herself strangely blushed scarlet when she saw the interaction he had with Kami and Megami and a briefly thought what that kiss felt like...
That's when her body shook, when he released his power and spoke his words, she couldn't help, but be shaken by the courage and bravery that blazed of each word he spoke. The Naruto she knew, her son...the one who gave up his humanity for her so she could have a few last minutes with Mito...had changed into what he is now...
A true Man to his word and keeps his promise...
even if he has to face the devil himself...
She blushed even more when she saw his appearance it was so much like Minato, but then again a difference to it...
Kushina shook he r head of her musings when she looked up to see the amused faces of Kami and Megami, they probably saw her interaction.
''Now Kushina-chan, were you having thoughts about someone?~~~''said Kami as she grinned at Kushina. Bingo Kushina's face broke out even more in a scarlet red which made Megami laugh at her predicament.
''I-I-I...wasn't!''she yelled, but that didn't convince either goddess. Kushina averted her eyes to the ground. Kami smiled at her before bringing the woman into a hug, Kushina melted into it right then. Kami could hear the soft sobs from the woman,
''Why...why...do I have feelings for him...why?...He's my own...son!''she said as she cried into Kami's chest, their gaze softened on the woman. It would seem after watching Naruto and how he protected Mito from the worlds dangers made her happy, but sad since she wasn't the one protecting them. It was all Naruto's doing he was the one to raise Mito, the one to train her, the one to feed her or bathe her, He was the one who read to Mito at night or let her sleep with him when she got scared.
Naruto was the one who protected, raised Mito, and she,Kushina their own Mother couldn't do anything, but watch. It tore her up inside to know she couldn't help them one bit and it only made it worse when she started seeing Naruto in a whole new light over the years. Of course she kept the feeling down, but it was getting uncontrollable and seeing him now made the dam break and the emotions she's held down come forth.
''Well, Kushina technically he isn't your son anymore...''said megami, this got the shocked reaction from Kushina when she turned around to look at Megami with shocked eyes. ''W-what do you mean...he's not my son anymore...''she said with her voice quivering from either sadness or strangely...hope?
Megami cleared her throat, ''Well Kushina-chan, you see what I didn't tell you is that Naruto your son on that night did die, but was reborn as my Avatar the body he has now is his spiritual manifestation for what he would have looked like, but when the limiter comes off that is his true appearance. He isn't really related to you or Minato anymore, he is his own person now, he doesn't have any blood ties to you or minato since his physical representation of either of you was destroyed when kyuu-chan's chakra entered him. It completely destroyed all genes he had, but the physical appearance he had and was gonna have stayed with him.''she said.
Kushina's eyes unknowingly lit up, and said ''So...that means...all this time...''she said.
''That's right, Naruto knows this as well, but he has kept this secret from mito not knowing how she would react, from Naruto not being her brother anymore.''Kami said.
Kushina just stood their for a few more minutes with her eyes staring blankly at the two Goddesses. That's when a grin came upon her face. ''DATTEBANE!''she yelled excitingly amusing the two goddesses. Kushina pumped her fist into the air her eyes blazing with determination only seen in Uzumaki's.
''Great!...but uh...how can I see either of them when I'm...''she said gesturing to her spirit form. Indicating she was dead.
Kami just grinned, ''That's what we talked about before remember? When I asked you about the chance of being alive again...How about now?'' she said getting a fast nod from the woman. ''Of course to bring you back may take a few days, until then I think it would be best you watch how things unfold in the living world and catch up with the current events that are to be taking place.''she said.
Kushina just sighed happily before looking at a screen of a hospital room in Kumogakure, there lay Naruto, Mito by his side. Her eyes took a glazed look as she looked at Naruto. ''Yes, I can't wait to see you again, Naruto-kun, Mito-chan...Kushina is coming back home!''she yelled the last bit hyperactively.
She could only hope, that when she is brought back she can tell Naruto her feelings about...
Kumogakure-Hospital
Morphine...
Blood...
Death...
That's what hit Naruto's senses as he was coming back to consciousness and right now mentally he was hating every second he was in where ever he was. He tried to open his eyes only to quickly shut them due to the light hitting his eyes. He let out a few small curses before slowly opening them to get used to the light, he tried to remember everything that happened.
He was fighting Ulquiorra, he remembered seeing the man 'retreat' into some kind of portal. He remembered the Kumo shinobi a few feet away from him. Then he remembered Mito's voice calling out to him...
That's when everything else was a blur...
When he tried to get up he felt a slight weight on his stomach, so when he looked down he saw the signature red hair. He smiled gently knowing who it was, he ran a hand through her hair while remembering what she had done. To jump in danger like that, risking her life for him. He frowned when he remembered when she almost got killed, and if it wasn't for...him she would have been dead.
He mentally thanked the him, before looking at her condition. He saw she was dressed in the same thing as last time. But when he saw her face he could see she hadn't slept for a while. Also the slight red tear marks on her face indicated she had been crying. He mentally scolded himself for making her feel so worried.
''I'm...so sorry...Mito-chan...''he whispered
With that he tried to gently get out of bed, but he never knew one thing...
Mito was wide awake...
She suddenly snapped her eyes open and looked straight into his surprised ones, that is until her eyes glistened in tears before she tackled into naruto pressing themselves back into the hospital bed.
''Naruto-kun!''she cried burying her head into his bandaged chest. Naruto just groaned a bit still feeling a bit of pain, but he shook it off as held Mito. He felt her body rack with sobs and hiccups, he sighed running a hand through her hair. When she calmed down a bit Mito pulled herself away from him until she was practically face to face with him. Naruto looked into her eyes to see relief and happiness, but he also saw how tired she was if the bags under her eyes were anything to go by.
With that he sighed before speaking, ''Mito-chan...how long has it been since you've slept?''he said
Mito then averted her eyes away from him, trying to look anywhere but him, but failed miserably when she got a knowing look from him. She sighed knowing it was hopeless. ''None, I haven't slept since I woke up from using Kyuubi's chakra during your fight with...whoever that guy was. I've...I've been here the whole time...''she said hoping he wasn't mad at her.
Naruto just smiled which she missed, He gently snaked his hand around her frame before picking her up earning a squeak of surprise from the girl. He then laid down on the bed before giving some room for Mito on his left side after this he covered them up. He then looked at her confused eyes, ''You need your sleep Mito-chan even if were in a Hospital''he said Hospital like it was poison getting a giggle from the girl. ''Let's just sleep a few hours hm? I need a bit more anyway, ok?''he said
Mito just answered by cuddling up to him even more, she wrapped her arms around him while mumbling something as sleep quickly took her. ''If its with you...then I'll sleep anywhere naruto-kun...as...long as your...safe'' she finished before succumbing to sleep. Though she never knew how much her last words meant to Naruto since he eyed her before smiling.
He wrapped an arm around her waist and another on her head. He then placed his head atop her red hair, he sighed softly as he pulled her closer before darkness started to creep around his eyes as well. ''Me too...Mito-chan...Me too...''he said before falling asleep as well.
1 Day Later
''So, let me get this straight here, you'' points at Naruto ''Want to live and train here in Kumogakure, until you think your both strong enough to defend yourselfs from your enemies, is this what I'm hearing here?''said A with a stoic face.
It had been a day since Naruto woke up again, after this he asked for an audience with A. After this he explained everything to the Raikage, the man was surprisingly quite and calm through the whole thing only the slightest twitch from his eyebrow betrayed the stoic and impassive face he had.
Naruto nodded with Mito by his side, ever since the incident in Hi-shi and battle against Ulquiorra she and him been getting a lot closer then before...
Raikage nodded once more, before he slammed his hand into his desk shattering the poor thing, even if Mito flinched at the action naruto didn't bat an eye at it or the stare he got from the Raikage.
''Well besides the point of you two being Minato and Kushina's kids, whats in it for me? I mean sure I am a old friend of theirs back in the war. But I need to gain something out of this.''he said scratching his goatee.
Naruto just grinned, ''Well you can boast that you and your brother Killer Bee were the ones who trained Mito-chan here to be as strong as I know she will be in the future and also the ones who housed someone of my reputation within your walls, this way you won't need to worry an enemy attack.'' Naruto said knowing his status it was true, he was one of the most dangerous men alive so it was a fact that no one would attack where he stayed unless they wanted a death wish.
Raikage just looked at him for a few moments...before bursting out laughing scaring Mito a bit and getting a raised eyebrow from naruto. Once the man calmed down a bit he wiped a tear away from his eye and spoke, ''of course you can stay! I was joking there! But it does help you being here so that's a bonus. But I'm glad you both are here and decided to get away from Konoha, because if what I heard is true The Fire Damiyo himself went down there and arrested The Sandaime and his three teammates along with killing a few shinobi that tried to get in his way. I'm guessing the damiyo answered your call huh Naruto-san?''he said with a chuckle.
Naruto's eyes just widened a bit before smiling, Iro was truly on of the most trustworthy people he knew and now kept his word of getting Konoha back for its past sins against his family. He looked at Mito and spoke, ''Mito-chan will you go outside for just a minute I need to speak to raikage-sama for a minute privately ok?''he said getting an annoyed look from the girl before she went out the door. After this he looked at A and spoke, ''Raikage-sama can I ask you something?''
''Sure what would that be Naruto-san?''he said wondering what the young man needed.
''I know this is asking a lot from you, but...could you, Killer Bee and Yugito help train Mito since you know whats within her, I would like you three help her get control over kyuubi's chakra and practice having it under her control. I will be helping her when I can in her shinobi skill's when she needs it, but she will be needing help with controlling Kyuubi's massive chakra.''he said.
Raikage just closed his eyes in thought, He knows of Mito being the Kyuubi Jinchurriki and of how much training one Jinchurriki needed to get full mastery of their Bijuu. After all he's seen how hard it is to control a Bijuu with its massive chakra reserves in one human. But this was Kyuubi a entity stronger then all other Bijuu. Then again he always liked a challenge...
''Very well, when would you like to start training her?''he said
''I'm gonna begin training her as soon as I can, I've brought with me since we left Konoha everything from our family. It's been sealed within my body in a pocket-dimension seal for quite sometime. But with this she can learn what she needs to, so she can get stronger.''he said touching a uzumaki symbol where is heart is. A nodded before he thought of something.
''What about you? I know you are strong enough to face a Kage so why would you need to get stronger?''he said
Naruto sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. ''Let's just say...I've got enemies stronger then any Kage in history and leave it at that...''he said getting a shocked look from A, but the glare he got from naruto told him he wasn't in the mood to explain.
''I-I see...well if I may ask what where will you be training in? I know of a place where Killer Bee and Yugito train in their Bijuu powers, you could go along with Mito and live and train their. While this happens I can send off the Mission's The Fire Damiyo would be transferring to the Kaminari Damiyo and to myself. I can send a messenger bird to you when one does come in, how does that sound?''he said
Naruto thought about and had to say it was a good plan this way he could make a place where he could train in secret. Plus its an added bonus with being closer to Mito and help in her training. He looked at A and spoke, ''Very well its a deal Raikage-sama, could you have either Killer Bee or Yugito-san meet us so they could take us to this place?''he said.
''Of course I can actually I think Yugito is here now.'' he said pointing at the door, He turned around and saw the blonde haired woman standing right there with a curious look on her face. Naruto just blinked before smiling at the woman, this earned a small blush from her which A caught and would talk to her about it later.
''Well Yugito, I'm guessing you heard that last bit? Well if you would be so kind as to have naruto and Mito follow you back to the island it would be wonderful.''he said
Yugito just looked at A before looking back at Naruto with a small blush on her face, ''V-very well, it will be done Raikage-sama, now if you would wait for me outside naruto-san, I need to talk to Raikage-sama for a minute.''she said finding it strangely hard not to call him 'naruto-kun' for some strange reason...
Maybe it was Nibi messing with her body again...
Naruto nodded as he walked to the door, ''That's reasonable, well till then Raikage-sama I'll be seeing you later...''he said with the door closing with a 'click'.
After he was gone Yugito looked back at A and spoke, ''Raikage-sama, I'm here to report about the aftermath of Naruto and that strange man's battle a day ago and I have to say...your gonna have to take a breather for this one...''
Kumogakure-Outside Kage Tower 20 Minutes Later
''So, where exactly is this place Yugito-san?''Mito said, wondering where they were going. Yugito just smiled at her while walking, ''Its gonna be the place where you and Naruto-san will be training and living from now on until the a appropriate time comes when you can either live in Kumo or stay there.''she said
''It's an island where me and Killer Bee-sensei train in our Bijuu powers, but its also where we live since its away from society and away from prying eyes.''she added.
''Ooohhh''she said.
''Hmm it sounds like the perfect place to train...'' Naruto added.
''Ano, naruto-kun what will we be training in?''she said with a confused face. Naruto just chuckled rubbing her head making her pout once more. ''What will we be training is in our shinobi skill's, you still need a lot of training to go, if you wanna get stronger while I need to master a few more techniques here and there.''he said
''Oh...''Mito said fixing her hair when it was messed up.
''Anyway, Mito-chan when we get down to training you have to promise me something alright?''he said as all three got on a boat to the island.
''What?''she said
''You gotta promise me to do your best and never to give up, This training I'm gonna put you through will make all the other times look like a cake walk, I'm gonna be brutal I won't lie and will not say its gonna be easy. For it won't be, can you promise me to never give up and keep going?''he said with a serious look in his eyes.
Mito didn't hesitate for a second, ''Never! I wanna be strong like you and if that means going through your training then I will! Besides...''she said with a small blush on her face...
This got a raised eyebrow from naruto and Yugito who was listening on the conversation, ''yes what is it Mito-chan?''he said.
''I wanna be strong enough to protect you...I wanna be able to protect you when your the one who needs it...I don't wanna see you hurt again...''she said with the blush much brighter. Naruto just blinked before grinning, he leaned closer to her face and spoke, ''Mito-chan...Thank you... and you will get stronger...that's a promise...''he said before kissing her cheek this time. This earned a full blush in the face from Mito and a surprised look from Yugito.
'Those two, sure got the close relationship...'
'Mmm, I think its cute, and think if the future does come down to it. You should join them if they do make an item...I mean look at that man's body! Purrrr~~~'
'NIBI!'
'I...Naruto-kun...He...wha...'
'*Giggle* Calm down Mito-chan it was only a kiss on the cheek nothing to be embarrassed about, hell your lucky you got him all to yourself for the next few years so just maybe~~~'
'No..I-I can't...I...Mean...I...want...to...b-but...'
'Don't worry about it for now Mito-chan, the future is still on going ever changing you'll have your plenty of chances to tell him, how you truly feel.' with that kyuubi cut the mental connection.
'How I truly feel...for Naruto-kun'
End
(A/N: Ok I knows it a lot shorter then the last two chapters but I do have a reason for this, for you see this chapter marked the beginning of their training had begun. Chapter 4 will be a timeskip of what they trained in and how far they both come in their time.)
Now onto questions,
How will the relationship between Naruto and Mito be next time?
How will Naruto and Mito react to when Kushina comes back?
Whens the next time Ulquiorra makes a come back?
How bad will sarutobi and his teammates get their asses tortured?
Who knows!
Till then this was a short chapter 3 of MAC-Missing Anbu Commander
Till next time bye!
