Hello everybody! Renegadeofficer89 here with a new chapter of A Loving Heart, A Body of Steel! and in this chap, the genin teams are revealed, among others. Before I start this chapter, I wanted to go into a rant about 2 things: Naruto 618 and review flaming.
618! Just what the fuck was Kishi thinking! Why the fuck does the Uzumaki clan had a mask of the Shinigami? It's that easy to pull out the souls taken by the Shinigami? Just what the fuck? And it's in the middle of Konoha too! It's like a freaking cheat code! Is the Uzumaki clan that powerful that they have the Shinigami's mask with them? And then the Shinigami enters the person wearing the mask, causing him to become some sort of his avatar. Just what the fuck? He watches too much The Mask, and said, "Okay, that's cool. I'll do that in my story, hehehe." What kind of shit is that? About the Zetsus, I understand. Obito needs some massive assurance, so it fits, but what the hell is with that Shinigami thing? And once again, Sasuke's the focus. *sigh* as a fic writer once said, then he'd better change the story's name to Sasuke. What's next? More Imba Sharingan Hax?
Review flaming! About that, let me first place my opinion on flames. I don't mind flamers. No shit. They add review count, so they're not all bad. And besides, I tend to ignore them. I mean, if you get a review saying "YOU FUCKING SUCK AT WRITING GO JUMP INTO A FUCKING VOLCANO AND DESTROY YOUR FUCKING LAPTOP", what will you do? Me? I ignore it and continue on with my writing. Why the hell should I care about these guys? They didn't write for shit, and I do this for fun anyway. I don't get any money from this man! I don't care if no one read my stories (though I would like it if I have readers, natch), and the only thing that I do is type them out. But for people who read the reviews, and replied in a review like "DUDE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SUCKS YOU DON'T WRITE FOR SHIT, STOP FLAMING PEOPLE", do you think they're going to read and do that? Fucking no man! So, I don't think that there are any benefits in doing such a thing, and is just a waste of typing time. The space there is called review for a good reason. It's for people to review your story and point out your mistakes or give suggestions or praises, not a space to flame others, and even worse when someone else uses it to 'help defend' the story by counter flaming the guy/girl doing that. It is not needed and is a waste of time. Besides, as I said, I will type this story as long as I have ideas for it, and not just because people review it. If people review it, then I'm glad. If not, well, tough luck. So, review flaming is totally unnecessary, and any anonymous reviews that does so will not be approved, though I will approve flames. Funny isn't it? But that's just how I roll.
Wow, damn long rant there. Well, enough waiting! Here's the new chapter for all of you 200+ followers!
CHAPTER 8: TEAMS, GODFATHER AND REVELATIONS! Uploaded 1/2/2013
-CHAPTER START-
The night after the graduation test, a figure is seen running from the Hokage Tower without any care to anything that he encountered. That figure is the figure of Iruka's assistant teacher, Mizuki, who tried to steal the Forbidden Scroll of Seals from the Hokage Tower. Unfortunately, he was caught by Naruto's bug clones placed all over and is now being hunted by the ANBU due to his actions. His name will be removed from Konoha's ninja register and forever be named a traitor to Konoha. Sadly for him, no one else knows about his death.
Naruto and family walked towards the academy after a good night sleep in order to know their genin teammates, the graduation test yesterday gave them their genin ranks. As usual, Naruto and Kushina is wide awake and alert like they slept for an entire day, the wonders of the Astartes bloodline. Hinata, on the other hand, is yawning cutely, not having enough sleep last night due to hoping that they'll be in the same team. Going through town, they are met with the usual looks of scorn and hatred, though they didn't let it affect them. And as usual, Kushina went ahead of the trio to greet the women that she met years before, Kiyomi. The gentle looking black haired lady is one of Kushina's best friend, though nowadays, some people even shunned her due to her association with the Uzumaki-Namikaze's. She never let that stop her from being close to Kushina though, with Kushina sometimes helping her in daily shoppings or whatever that she needs some brute strength help with.
"Hello Aunty Kiyomi!" hearing the familiar voice calling her, she turned to look at the face of Kushina who is running towards her, just to help carry her groceries. After a couple of days of having her do that, she just relented nowadays and lets Kushina carry her stuff. It helps her, anyway. "So, Aunty Kiyomi, where are you going?"
"As usual, Kushi-chan. Just towards the market, buying my groceries."
"Oh. But I can't help for too long, we have our team assignments today. Oh! I know! I'll leave a henged Shadow Clone here with you! She'll be my replacement! Is that fine?"
"*chuckles* Alright, Kushi-chan. Team assignments are important anyways. You're going to be a ninja eh?"
"Yeah! I'm going to be a great ninja! Just like my dad!"
"Good for you then. You better leave now, or you're going to be late."
"Okay! Here!" a Shadow Clone of hers popped out of nowhere and henged immediately into a not distinct girl to help carry her groceries in her place. "Alright Aunty Kiyomi! I need to leave now! They're waiting! Ta ta!" and with that, Kushina ran back towards her family, leaving her Shadow Clone and a giggling Kiyomi to buy her groceries. Kiyomi watches the running back of Kushina as she thought of her. Even with all that she went through, the glares, the hatred, the scorn, she never lets it bother her. She kept coming and chats with her, helped her, and even left a clone to help her even with the groceries. She understood at that time that the people have been wrong about her and her family, and she intends to be the first to befriend them. In fact, she didn't know it, but she's one of the family's important people, being the first real friend that Kushina made. Sighing deeply, she continued on with her grocery shopping, the clone in tow.
-BREAK-
Naruto just smiles as she watches the sight of his daughter leaving him to go and greet a lady that befriended her some time ago, knowing that this is the sight that he hoped he'd see more towards his family, no matter how hard he'll have to try to earn such respect and recognition. He still smiles as he watches the huge figure of his daughter approaching him after leaving a henged clone to help Kiyomi with her groceries. As Kushina reached him and Hinata who is also smiling at the sight, Naruto said, "So? Went helping her again eh?"
"Yeah! She's a nice lady!"
"Good for you, and good for us. At least you remembered that we have group assignments today, or you'll stay with the lady for a long time." Naruto joked.
"Hey! We cannot forget things remember? Eidetic memory?"
Naruto chuckled. "Of course I do. It's just that you might just be too scatterbrained to not go to the academy just to help the lady, completely having the thoughts of going to the academy out of your mind."
"Hey!" Kushina pouted, and the laughing trio continues their walk towards the academy, still ignoring the sight of everyone glaring at them.
A while later, they reached the academy, and proceeds to their regular seats which is the furthest seat at the right hand corner, so that they can see everybody that enters and can prepare for any sort of emergency, though that never happened as of yet while they're at the academy. Once they have made themselves comfortable, they waited for the appearance of every other member of the class, being the first who came to the academy.
The first person that came through the door is Aburame Shino, who remains unchanged with both his getup of a full body cloak and a hoodie with sunglasses and his silent demeanour, though he is a little bit closer towards the family nowadays.
The next that came through is Nara Shikamaru, as always the laziest person in the academy, though also the smartest. The main reason why he comes early to the academy is so that he didn't have to listen to his mother's nagging and so that he can start sleeping in class earlier than the time class starts.
The next person is not too far behind Shikamaru, and that person is Sai. One of the ex-ROOT members, his midriff baring clothing, pale white face and constant comments about others' dicks made people think he's gay, though he didn't have any idea whatsoever about that. Being ex-ROOT, he's one of the most skilled boys (other than the Uzumaki-Namikazes, of course) within the class and when combined with his constant taunting about dicks and his obviously fake smiles causes most people to lose their temper against him, ensuring an easy victory. He must've been trained with a high level of discipline, coming so early to the classes.
Other people starts streaming in, mostly civilian ninja wannabes before some of the other clan heirs entered at once. The first being Kurama Yakumo, heir to the Kurama clan. A brown haired girl with a slightly tanned skin due to being able to stay outside her house more to train and physically weak though still is capable of limited taijutsu (though she's much, much better nowadays), her clan's a master of genjutsu, making her genjutsu scores second to none. The Ido, having being sealed by Naruto is completely gone, being absorbed into her psyche, increasing her already insanely high talent in genjutsu, and even improves her ninjutus as well, though she has a small amount of chakra. A friendly kid once her inner demon was suppressed, she made a lot of friends within the academy when combined with her own good looks.
Following her is the self-proclaimed 'Gossip Queen of Konoha', Yamanaka Ino. Being the heir to the Yamanaka clan, she trains better than most of her civilian friends, though not by much. Her constant defeat towards Kushina and Hinata during the academy spars motivates her to train more, making her gain some muscle in her body, though she still has shades of her fangirl attitude, and is now chasing Uchiha Sasuke. Her first choice was actually the blonde haired handsome giant at the back of the class, of which she gives a flirtatious wink towards, but sadly, he already had TWO wives! Not one, but two! One of them is together with them in the class too. And just by looking at his daughter, who's as much a giant as her father, she knows that his first wife must've been a very beautiful person. This causes her to switch target to the Uchiha Clan Head's brother, who's a lot more outgoing when compared to the time when he first enters the academy.
Together with the two is Haruno Sakura, the daughter of Haruno Mebuki, a civilian councilmember of Konoha's advisory council. Just like Ino (and probably due to her encouragement), she is motivated to put more effort within her training after constantly being defeated soundly by both Kushina and Hinata, though no one wants to compare a defeat against both Naruto and Kushina when the two was matched in an academy spar some time ago.
-FLASHBACK-
"Alright! Today's spar will start with the father-daughter pair of Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Naruto!" shouts of outrage is heard among the students. "I know that most of you are arguing that they'll go soft against each other, but this spar is not just authorized, but is ordered for us to perform it by the Sandaime himself! In fact, there he is now, about to watch this spar!" as Iruka points towards the academy's doors. True to his words, the old, wizened (though Naruto and family knows better) face of the Sandaime in his full Hokage garb appeared from the academy doors, causing all the students there to stand up and bow before they all returned back to their original positions with a wave of the Sandaime's hand. He then speaks.
"Students of the academy. All of you, you are the future of Konoha. Remember that. As someone who holds such a heavy burden, you need to be strong. You need to be powerful. You need to know just how far you must go to carry the ideals of Konoha. And as such, I implore all of you to continue your training and studies even after the academy ends. Now, you may have questioned my judgement in allowing both of them to spar with each other. I assure you that they will not hold back just because they're father and daughter. They are actually trained in a fighting style unlike what we learn in Konoha. As such, I want all of you to watch their spar carefully. Naruto, Kushina, if you please."
Naruto and Kushina nodded before they both walked into the circle in front of everyone, feeling the eyes of every member of the academy watching them. Ignoring them, Naruto and Kushina stood in front of each other while making the sign of confrontation. Iruka who acts as referee stood outside the circle with one hand in the air. His hand moved downwards to cut the air, and he shouts "Begin!"
As soon as he finished shouting, both Naruto and Kushina are already in front of each other, an impish grin on their faces, their right hand cocked backwards for a full powered punch. They both let their punches go at the same time and both missed, both dodges the other's punch at the same time. Pivoting on the ground, Kushina let the momentum of the punch turn into a spin, launching a powerful axe kick that is targeted towards Naruto's head. Naruto just blocks her leg with an arm, before twirling that arm around her leg, grabbing it and pulling her towards him. This causes Kushina to stumble, but immediately jumps with one leg before sending another kick towards Naruto that he stopped by throwing her on the ground. He then tried stomping on her leg, but she manages to get up with a helicopter kick that forces Naruto to back up and allows her to stand up and steadies herself in a stance, a grin on both their faces.
All that takes 5 seconds.
They dashed forward again, leaving dust clouds behind their wake, before Naruto spins his body to dodge a straight jab coming from Kushina while sending a powerful elbow to her back. She responds by blocking the elbow with her elbow, the impact creating a miniature shockwave due to the strength of their hits. A punch is launched by her towards the back of her father's head which he took head on, literally. But then, he spins around and grabs her arm and pulls it towards him before sending a powerful palm strike towards her face that she dodges by moving her head, her hair blowing due to the wind created by that hit. The near miss only seems to inspire her to fight harder, as proven by her grabbing her father before sending a powerful knee to his abdomen, which he counters with a headbutt to her face. Both the attack hits, and they both backpedalled. Naruto had a grin on his face, together with Kushina.
That took only 10 seconds.
Their spar continues, a flurry of punches is sent towards Kushina by her father, all of which she dodged before she spins to her left and sends a spinning kick towards her father. He counters with a forward rush, reducing the power of the kick while giving him the chance to grab her in a bear hug before tossing her away. As Kushina's legs touched the ground, her father's already in her face, sending a barrage of punches to her body, punches that can destroy a regular person's entire torso but just stings with their Astartes constitution. Not relenting, Naruto grabs her shirt and is about to toss her to the ground when an elbow hit the side of his neck, though he didn't let go and tossed her still. He then backed away, his neck cricking. That would've broken someone's neck off, but it's just a Tuesday for him. Kushina then stood, grinned before saying. "Let's continue this, dad."
Naruto replied with a "Hell yeah!" and the spar continues.
Half an hour and a destroyed sparring circle later, both of them stopped their spar, looking no worse for wear except for their clothes and still smiling. They didn't even look tired! They then looked towards the students and sees that everyone has their jaws on the ground, too shocked at the combat prowess of the father-daughter duo. Naruto sheepishly scratched the back of his head, before saying "Hehe, oops...?"
-FLASHBACK ENDS-
After that day, everybody forfeits in their spar whenever they had one of them as their sparring partner. But due to her initial defeat against Hinata and subsequent defeats, combined with the encouragements and invitations from Ino, she started to increase her training levels, and is now pretty much at the level of a standard genin. She also has a crush on Sasuke, though it is unknown whether or not he reciprocates them.
A while later, the next person who enters is Akimichi Chouji, the heir to the Akimichi clan. Being an Akimichi, he is extremely large and rotund, though he is also a gentle person who dislikes fighting, just like the rest of his clan. He was defeated by Naruto a couple of times, and thanks to the advice that Naruto gives him as he lost, he managed to become a better fighter among the graduates.
The next person entering through the doors is Uchiha Sasuke, the target of most of the fangirls of the academy, since Naruto already has wives and nobody wants to mess with his daughter. Being the brother of Itachi, the current clan head, he is understandably proud of his lineage, though the feeling of pride lessens considerably when he remembers what his clan was about to do that caused the deaths of more than half of their member. Nowadays, he sits beside a window, looking outwards, trying to think about what would happen if his clan were to succeed in their plans. He is also a silent guy, causing all the girls to swoon due to his 'coolness' and the rest of the boys to envy him. Nowadays, he is much more approachable and is a better talker than when his father was still alive, though no one said anything about it nowadays.
A while later, the figure of the academy instructor, Umino Iruka enters the classroom while carrying the attendance script and the list of genin teams that will be formed this year. Everybody immediately sits on their own chairs when he comes in, making him proud at their discipline. And so, he starts homeroom. "Alright, now I am going to call out your names, and answer me if you're here. Aburame Shino."
"Here."
"Akimichi Chouji."
"Here."
"Inuzuka Kiba."
Suddenly, the classroom door bust open, and a ragged looking Kiba, with his faithful dog Akamaru on his head, panting wildly appeared at the door, while slowly lifting his hand, saying "Here." Before entering the class and goes to his seat. The son to the Inuzuka Clan matriarch, Kiba is a brash, hotheaded person but one who is capable of handling himself in a fight. After Kushina scared him a couple years before, he dropped all his efforts to chase her, knowing that it's not worth being pummelled by her dad. And his fear was proven true when Kushina and Naruto sparred at the academy before. During that time as well, he learned that you shall not anger the fox-smelling beings with the family name Uzumaki if you want to live.
Ignoring his lateness, having been used to it a long time ago, Iruka keeps calling all the names on the list until he has called everyone and made sure that no one is missing in this important day. He then starts his pre-prepared speech towards the rabble of genin hopefuls. "All of you, my students, I am proud."
Inwardly, everyone groaned due to Iruka's tendency of speaking extremely long and winded speeches that always, ALWAYS speaks of the same thing. He's proud, blah blah blah, Will of Fire, blah blah blah, be strong ninjas, blah blah blah etc etc. And thus, everybody breathes a sigh of relief as he said "And now, for your genin teams. Remember that you'll be..." and once again, everybody ignores him until he calls out the team members. "Team 1..."
At this, Naruto lays back on his chair (that he carries in a seal on his wrist all the time. God knows how hard it is to find a chair that fits and is able to support his massive body.) and remembers back the conversation that he had with the Sandaime about the teams yesterday.
"Team 7, your teammates will be Haruno Sakura," at this point, she is wishing in her head "Please be withSasukepleasebewithSasuke pleasebewithSasuke" "Uchiha Sasuke," at that point, she jumped upwards, her fist balled and uppercutting the air while shouting "SHANNAROO!". Ino has a disappointed air around her about not being in the same team as Sasuke, though she understands the importance of the Ino-Shika-Cho combination. "And Sai." At this, Sakura's face turned pale in despair and she sits on her chair while hugging her knees, whispering"Why did I get the creepy ex-ROOT..." Also, another change that occurred before is the fact that a special branch of ANBU called ROOT that was led by Danzo is revealed to the populace due to Danzo's death, and that the members are going to be rehabilitated before being reintegrated into society and the ninja forces, among them are some of the academy students, Sai being one of them. At this, even cool Sasuke is forced to brood at his favourite window, his mind spinning with "I get the creepy dick loving gay guy as my teammate..." as his primary thought. "Your jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi."
"You should place Sasuke, Sakura and Sai in one team with Kakashi as their sensei. Sasuke's a great frontline fighter especially when he activates his Sharingan. Sai can be their long range fighter and support, his art ninjutsu is amazingly versatile. Sakura is there to act as both medic and genjutsu specialist with her extremely good chakra control, allowing the team to be a powerful frontline fighter team. Also, Kakashi can teach Sasuke when he activates his Sharingan, and with his main concentration on teamwork, he will probably be able to get the somewhat dysfunctional team into a powerful combination group."
"Team 8 will be Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba and Kurama Yakumo, your jounin sensei will be Yuuhi Kurenai." All three genins just nodded their heads, with Kiba shouting "Yeah! We'll be the most awesome team, won't we!?" towards Akamaru, who responded with a bark.
"Team 8 will be a tracking and recon team with Kiba and Shino being capable of tracking targets using their clan's abilities. Also, Kurenai is a genjutsu specialist, and is definitely capable of teaching Yakumo how to perform better genjutsus and some ninjutsu for support or cover. In battle, Kiba will act as the frontline fighter, with Shino being the mid range support while Yakumo and Kurenai can act as long range support for both genjutsu and ninjutsu. God knows we lacked genjutsu experts." The Sandaime just nodded at this, seeing that it is true.
"Team 9 is still available, so we skip to team 10, whose members are Akimichi Chouji, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino. Your jounin sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma." Ino's mood brightens a bit when she hears that they'll be trained by the Sandaime's own son, though she still despairs over her teammates.
"Team 10 will be the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, while their sensei should be Asuma. He is more than capable of teaching them, and his laid back style will fit in nicely with the team, though he will need to train them harder for them to reach their full potential."
"Then what about your team?"
"Mine? Well..."
"And finally, Team 11 will be Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Hinata, or to put it simply, the Uzumakis. Your sensei will be Mitarashi Anko."
"What?! Naruto, that team is extremely overpowered!"
"Think about it old man. By placing even one of us on another team, we will definitely be the strongest member of the team, creating an imbalanced team. In battles, this might seem good, but the teamwork aspect will not work when one of the member is as powerful as the teacher or even more so. What kind of team will that be? Having one person carry the entire team is good and all, but it will destroy them when they are separated and they are each on their own. By placing us together and allowing us to independently act when a battle happens, each of us can go to town with our best skills and is more than capable of handling any opposition that we encounter. If we worked together, by the way, our nearly similar skill level allows us to act together, and when combined with the fact that we usually do train together, we are able to achieve a level of synergy that other teams will take weeks, even months to obtain." Sarutobi just sighs, and said "Well, let's hope you're right then. I'll agree with this team assignment, and hopefully it can work."
"No problem old man! It sure will! Believe it!"
Naruto immediately went into high alert when his Lyman's Ears picked up a growing sound of a ball coming towards the classroom. The Uzumakis immediately ducked down when a black ball crashed into the windows, smashing them and sending glass shards everywhere just as it is flying towards the figure of Iruka. Before Iruka could even take out a kunai to defend himself, the black ball opened up, and four kunais shot from the ball, hitting the ceiling and the floor, revealing a black banner with the writing 'TEAM 11'S SENSEI, THE EXTREMELY SEXY AND ABSOLUTELY DEADLY MITARASHI ANKO!' on it. In the middle of the banner, the sight of a woman with violet hair tied in a spiky ponytail at the back of her head with light brown pupilless eyes wearing only a trenchcoat, a short skirt and a fishnet shirt appeared, causing most of the boys, even Sasuke to shoot backwards with a massive nosebleed. Even Sai has a couple drops of blood from his nose.
She then speaks. "Alright! The Uzumakis, you're with me! I'm your sensei, the sexy and deadly Mitarashi Anko! Meet me at Training Ground 40 in five minutes!" she then immediately left, but not before giving a sexy wink towards the class, causing the boys to have another volley of nosebleed. Naruto just sighs before getting up and resealing his chair together with Hinata and Kushina, both who are doing the same thing and later walking out of the classroom. Naruto immediately grabbed both of them before Hiraishining towards her location. Afterwards, every boy within the room wakes up, their brain still rebooting from the sheer sexiness that Anko exudes. Kiba wipes his nose while saying, "Damn those Uzumakis! Why do they have all the hot girls around them!?" all of the other boys could only nod as they are waiting for their respective senseis.
-BREAK-
Anko is sitting on a pole at TG 40, just reached that spot a couple of seconds ago when a golden flash signalling the Hiraishin appeared beside her, and the hulking figure of both Naruto and Kushina and the comparatively small stature of Hinata appeared within that flash. Anko just sighs. "You know, scaring you lot about chasing time is pretty much useless if you can just appear beside me like that anytime. Also, why the hell are you guys a freaking genin anyway?! You and Kushina are almost, if not over, kage level already, and Hinata can give me a run for my money when we spar! You guys should be jounin if based on sheer strength or chuunin due to lack of experience!"
Naruto sighs. "Anko-san, it's like this. If I were to suddenly appear out of nowhere and be made a jounin for no apparent reason, people will start to ask questions. And no matter how good is it hidden, a secret's going to reveal itself one day or another. So, to reduce suspicions, it is easier for me to enter the academy and graduate as a genin while performing 'errands' for the Sandaime and having a fast track promotion later on to jounin. Reduces suspicions while also enabling me to help Konoha in its times of need."
Now it is Anko's turn to sigh. "I know. You explained it to me already. I'm just disappointed due to the fact that I'll need to perform D-rankers. You know they sucked right?"
Naruto giggled, before it turns into a laugh, before that turns into a full on rolling-on-the-floor laugh. After a while, where he could even see Anko's veins throbbing in anger, he rises up, wipes his eyes before continuing. "Don't worry about that, really. We can perform tens, or in my case, hundreds of Shadow Clones to finish the office's D-rank missions in a day. With your clones supervising, or not if you can't match us, we can finish hundreds of D-ranks in a day. And thanks to Konoha's population, there are a lot of them. Finishing that in a day will give other teams time to train, and allows us to take C-ranks early. Might even take the low C-rank missions as well. How about that?"
Anko scratches her chin in thought, shrugs and says. "Well, that isn't too bad. A nice plan too. Heck you can probably perform even long-range C-ranks as well with your clones. We might even be the first genin team to perform hundreds of D-ranks in a day, tens of low C-rank the next and B-ranks by next week! I know I have a reason why I loved you guys!" Everyone just laughs at this statement. Anko then continues. "Also, there is supposed to be a second, real genin test that tests teamwork, survival skills or both, but I know that you guys are good at all that, so I won't bother. So! Let's meet here again tomorrow, and make sure that-"
Anko's words are cut short by the sound of Naruto clearing his throat. "Actually, Anko-san, the real genin test should be tomorrow, right?"
Anko's voice didn't betray her confusion as she said, "Yeah. Why?"
"Well, tomorrow evening there will be a great announcement for the village, so I doubt that we can start performing missions by tomorrow. Maybe in two days?"
Anko's face is scrunched up in confusion for a while, until a proverbial lightbulb turned on in her head. "Oh! Oh, oh, oh! THAT announcement! Damn! I forgot about it! Okay, fine. In two days, then. But have you talked with the old man about it?"
Naruto nodded while crossing his arms. "Yup. He agrees, and his ANBU forces are probably preparing the required equipments and jutsus by now."
Anko then had a huge grin on her face. "Well, I can't wait to see the reactions of the populace when you announce your identity."
"Oh believe me, it WILL be FUN. Very. FUN." Naruto said, with a huge grin on his face. The two then laughed an evil laugh, causing even Hinata to suddenly become afraid of them both. The people will not know what hit them tomorrow. Kushina then laughs together, knowing just exactly what his dad planned for tomorrow. Seeing this, Hinata sighs. "You know, Kushi-chan, your dad's going to get us in a lot of trouble, you know."
"Hehe. That's how dad is. But he'll make sure that we won't get in too deep in problems. Of that I have no doubt." Hinata just shook her head at this statement, thinking of how her husband's playfulness will put them in trouble in the future.
After a while, both Naruto and Anko stopped laughing and both takes a deep breath to recover from their massive bout of laughing. Then, Naruto said, "Okay guys. Go back home first. I want to go meet the old man." And with that, Naruto Hiraishined away, leaving Kushina and Hinata to go back home by themselves.
-BREAK-
Upon reaching the Hokage's office, Naruto is greeted with the sight of the Sandaime sitting on his admittedly awesome chair while smoking his pipe, his clones performing his paperworks. In other words, the usual sight. The Sandaime, already sensing Naruto's chakra flare due to the Hiraishin seal immediately looks towards him before saying, "Naruto my boy! How's your day?"
"Just great old man. Have your ANBU prepared themselves for tomorrow?"
"Naruto, do you really want to do it that way? I mean..."
"No, I think that is the best way for me to show the people. Hopefully, the ANBUs are good enough to stay at their position as I execute my reveal."
"All right then. My ANBUs will all perform their task, no doubt. Speaking of which, Naruto, there is someone whom I'd like you to meet."
Naruto raises an eyebrow at this, but considers that the guy hiding behind a Transparency jutsu at the end of the room that he was thinking of punching the shit out of is the person that he is told to meet. The Transparency jutsu then removes itself, revealing the figure of a white, long haired man with a square face wearing a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'oil' at the piece of steel. he is also wearing a green short shirt kimono with a red haori with two yellow circle at the left and right of it on top of the kimono with mesh armour underneath all that with a huge scroll at his back. This person is Jiraiya the Toad Sage, and also Naruto's godfather.
"Naruto, this is-"
"I know, old man. Jiraiya, sage of the toads, the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku, your student, the writer of Make Out Paradise, teacher of the Yondaime Hokage. Did I miss anything?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya went into a pose of his own before saying, "Hah! So my legend spreads far and wide, even someone as young as you knows of me! As you said, I am the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku, the man who ladies swoon at, the man who stops the crying of babies, the great writer of Make Out Paradise, I am-" just as Jiraiya is about to finish his introduction with ever increasing volume, his grand speech is cut short by a fist burrowing itself in his stomach, causing his body to almost flip in two, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets due to the strength of that punch. The fist is connected to the body of Naruto, who disappears from his place with nary a sound to deliver a bone crushing punch towards Jiraiya. As he removed his fist from his stomach and Jiraiya is shivering in pain, Naruto says. "But the most important title, one that you didn't even try to perform, even just a peek, is the title of being my godfather," the last part said with utter contempt and loathing.
As Jiraiya falls to the floor on his knees, the Sandaime just sighs. He understood well what Naruto went through, and he also understood why the fist to the stomach, thus the reason why he lets Naruto punch Jiraiya, but he hopes that Naruto will not kill him just for such a petty reason. Besides, everything turned out well right? Naruto gained a powerful bloodline, a powerful yet kind and loving wife and a beautiful daughter as well. Even so, he still prepares himself to save his student's life in case Naruto went too far. He can't lose his best source of intelligence and one of his strongest ninja, can he?
Naruto then went back to his original location, right in front of the Sandaime's table, a chair already unsealed from his storage seals and sits on it. Then, Jiraiya says. "D-d-damn kid, y-you h-hit like f-freak-king Tsunade!" He then slowly stands up, one hand still clutching his injured stomach while the other is supporting himself on the ground. After a while, he manages to stand fully, though his stomach is still in major pain. Looking at this, Naruto says, "Wow. You really ARE a kage-level ninja aren't you? Most ninjas would have a blown stomach by that punch," with an extremely casual tone, like he's discussing the weather.
Inwardly, Jiraiya swears. "Dammit! That punch would've destroyed my stomach if I didn't shield myself with chakra at the point of impact! Any lesser ninjas will definitely die with that one hit! I almost shit myself!" Even so, he has his reputation to consider, and thus, he toughens himself up with experience born from 2 world wars and says to Naruto. "Hell yeah kid! Who the hell do you think I am?! I am the well-known toad sage of Mt. Myoboku!"
Naruto then coldly said "And a failure as my godfather," causing Jiraiya to visibly flinch. But just as he is about to open his mouth, Naruto says. "But that's all in the past. I have already forgiven you for that, especially since the old man already explained to me why you abandoned me. At least I didn't die or something. Just close to it a couple of times." The way Naruto speaks of his death so nonchalantly causes Jiraiya to once again flinch, but still saying nothing. "And not that it's all bad. I managed to get a beautiful, loving wife, a daughter I loved more than life itself and another wife. So, I'd have to say that I am surrounded in love. I have no reason to hate you no more. Though that punch is still something that you owed me for, you know. My father would be rolling in his grave if he knows what you did."
At that, Jiraiya said. "You know your father?! And you have 2 wives and a daughter?! What the hell happened?! And aren't you just 14?! How did you have a daughter?! And speaking of which," Jiraiya looks up towards Naruto's hulking 7' tall figure and said "How the hell did you grow up to be so damn tall?!"
"Well, my godfather, this is going to be a long story. A very, very long story. Old man, would you let us talk here? You can place your own input at times as well." Naruto says while sitting himself on his chair.
"Alright Naruto. Thanks to the clones, all my paperwork for the day is already done, so I guess we can chat together. And your history's a very colourful one too. Can't let that be swindled out, can we?"
Naruto nodded before looking towards Jiraiya who had already placed himself on a chair facing Naruto. "Well, it starts when I'm 4 years old..."
-BREAK-
"...And that's how we got here." It is sundown when Naruto's story finally ends with his godfather gaping at some of the craziness within his story. For one, his bloodline that Kyuubi, or Kurumi, gave him. Two hearts? Three lungs? Acid spit? Steel bones? Near infinite chakra? Demon form? FUCKING IMMORTALITY?! That is nearly totally unbelievable if not for the fact that Hiruzen vouches for him as well. Orochimaru's going to kill some bitches if he knows. And a daughter? Another wife? ANKO?! "This kid's a massive ball of headache in the making," thought Jiraiya. "Or already is." But one peculiar thing caught Jiraiya's attention. "Wait. You said that Kurumi gave you your bloodline. Yet, from what I can tell, she didn't have the same bloodline even though she probably can make it for herself. Why is that?"
Naruto shrugs. "Well, I asked her that once, and she says it's so that I am grounded to what a regular human, well, as regular as you can get being a kage level bijuu hanyou, is and so that I won't just think that since I can do it, everybody else should be able to do it as well. Something like that."
Jiraiya nods, thinking that having something like that is extremely important to a near-godlike half demonic powerful being like Naruto, a reference pole as to what a regular human is like. "Though even his reference is not quite regular, but I can't blame them." Naruto then continues. "Also, I plan to reveal my true identity, everything about me and my family towards the people of Konoha tomorrow."
This causes Jiraiya to stand up from his chair, shouting "WHAT!? Do you know how bad will that be?! Once people know of you being a half-demon, they'll shun you even more!"
"Heh. Wait until you hear my plans for it." And so, Naruto talks to Jiraiya about his extremely awesome plan on revealing his identity towards the people of Konoha. At the end of his explanation, Jiraiya's face is a mixture of shock, outrage, pride and fear. A combination of facial expressions that can generally be described as 'total awesomeness'. Jiraiya, after a period of 3 minutes of absorbing the sheer balls-out insanity of Naruto's plan, then says. "That... is insane. That is just totally insane. Not just that, it is somewhat an all or nothing move. Either you gain everyone's support, or you'll be shunned forever by everyone."
Naruto nods. "I know. That is why I'd rather do that. I'd like to have a massive gain then a slow and steady increase. Live life a bit dangerously, they say."
Jiraiya sighs, crosses his arms on his chest before saying. "Alright kid. As long as there are no casualties, I will go through with this plan of yours I will join it as well, so you can expect me to be there to help."
"Alright, thanks. Hey, would you like to meet my family?"
"Well, sure. Where are you staying now?"
"At dad's home, though it can only be accessed via Hiraishin or by anyone whom I deem able to enter. Let's go then." He then turned towards Sarutobi. "All right old man! See you tomorrow!" and with that, Naruto Hiraishined both him and Jiraiya towards his house, leaving a smiling Hiruzen in his office. Looking towards Konoha from his awesome chair, he said to himself. "The kid's going to be the death of me one day," before chuckling lightly.
-BREAK-
Naruto appeared at his front door, holding the shoulder of Jiraiya, who as soon as his feet reaches solid ground, immediately throws up his breakfast and lunch, causing Naruto to howl in laughter, attracting his entire family out including Anko who was there just to hang around. After a while, he stops laughing and Jiraiya stops puking on the ground while Anko and Kushina starts laughing. After a while, Kurumi comes and bops the two's head, though she needs to jump to reach Kushina's. "Stop laughing! Anko, you went through the same thing when you first got Hiraishined!"
Anko, still wiping the tears from her laugh, says, "I know! But it is a hundred times funnier when I saw someone else going through the same thing!" hearing this, Jiraiya who had wiped the bile from his mouth says, "I haven't been Hiraishined for years! How the hell do you think I take it?" He then stands up, observing the sight of Naruto's family members. His eyes reach the only redhead in the rabble, and they widen in shock. "Kushina?! How are you still alive?!" at this, Kurumi sighs before saying. "I am not Kushina, though her" Her pointer finger then points towards Kushina, "Name's also Kushina. Nope. I am Kurumi, and you must've known about me from the Sandaime."
"B-but how, or why did you look like Kushina?!"
"That I have no idea. The best theory that I have is that my father's soul shard decides to play a final prank towards me by making me look exactly like Naru-koi's mother when he gave me my human form."
Jiraiya massages his forehead. This family is a totally crazy one. Then, his eyes see the figure of Anko there. "Anko, are you his wife as well?"
At this, Anko stopped laughing and her face turned into a look of terror, though everyone else starts to laugh at Jiraiya's misunderstanding on Anko's status. "W-what? No! I just stayed with them because they've been real good to me, plus I can spar with Kurumi anytime to improve myself!"
Naruto then joins in on the teasing. "Aww... Anko... You hate me that much?" while crying mock tears.
Anko then blushes red. "N-no! Why would I hate you?! Your family did so much for me!"
Everybody just laughs, while Jiraiya's well trained eyes then reached the figure of Kushina, who accidentally caught Jiraiya's eye due to her beauty. Jiraiya almost drooled watching her totally hot, tough body, showing her curves yet also showing her toned and muscular body, more than capable of tearing her enemies to pieces and her neck length blonde hair, when combined with her whisker marks, gives her an exotic look. Jiraiya inwardly says, "Damn! She'll be a great 'inspiration' for my next book! I know that it'll be a great hit! Hehehe." Jiraiya accidentally let slip some of his perverted giggles, and suddenly, he felt a huge KI crashing into him. Turning back, he sees that both Naruto and Kurumi has a murderous aura surrounding them, and both of them are cracking their knuckles. Naruto, still spilling out KI like it's going out of style, says. "Jiraiya, are you planning to use my daughter in your book...?"
Hearing his tone and the sight of both kage level half bijuu hanyou coming at him, Jiraiya starts to sweat profusely, knowing that a wrong answer will probably get him killed mercilessly, causing him to slowly answer, "Uhh... No...?" While trying his best to protect his family jewels from the wrath of the two hanyous. But all of a sudden, the oppressing aura lifts away, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay!" Naruto says. "But," and once again, the clouds turned dark, the wind is blowing like mad, thunder is flashing in the distance and Naruto is emitting a powerful aura of death and doom from his body. "If I were to find out that you used someone from my family as your inspiration, I'll make sure you lose your balls the next day. Get that?" Jiraiya just grabs his balls before nodding rapidly, not trusting his voice at the moment. "Good." And just like that, the weather cleared. Naruto then goes inside the house, leaving a trembling Jiraiya outside.
-BREAK-
The next morning, all the graduates of the academy are gathering at their respective training grounds to await their jounin senseis to perform their respective genin tests to make sure that they have the appropriate level of skill and teamwork necessary to become genins of the Konoha ninja forces. The Uzumaki-Namikazes have just finished their morning workout (or in Naruto and Kushina's case, their whole night's workout), Jiraiya having left to prepare for Naruto's big reveal right after dinner. Anko then comes into the training ground, her hand waving in the air, saying, "Hey you guys! So, what's the plan?"
Naruto then looks at her before saying. "Now, we need to wait until all the genin teams have completed their assessments. Then, you'll enter the old man's office together with the other jounins and tell him that we passed, not that there are any questions about our success. After that, wait close to the area in front of the Hokage tower. Then, we'll start when you see me. Remember, look for Kiyomi. Alright?"
"Okay! Now, breakfast!" Anko then skipped inside their house, thinking of nothing but Kurumi's excellent breakfast to start her day. By the afternoon, she goes to the Hokage office to tell him of her group's 'success' in the real genin test, but not too much in a hurry, just leisurely walking towards the Hokage tower, her mind still giddy of what Naruto has planned for this evening. Along the way, she meets Kurenai, her best friend since she is rescued from Orochimaru's clutches. Upon seeing Kurenai, she immediately waved towards her while calling her name. "Hey, Kurenai!"
The person she calls then turns backwards before she returns her wave, waiting for Anko to come beside her. Just as she is in stride with Kurenai, she asks. "So, Kure-chan, how's your brats?"
"They passed the genin test, though there are some problems. Kiba's brash attitude caused him to rush me when I'm under a genjutsu, causing him to get caught in my trap. Also, his view on women in general is pretty poor, looking at how he looks at me when I came to pick him up in the class yesterday."
Anko just laughs. "Haha! Yeah, I heard that from Kushi-chan. He even looks at her the same way, until she pummels him to the ground in a spar once before threatening to sic her dad on him. Needless to say, he's now learned his lesson in trying to take girls."
Kurenai just giggles. "Yeah, that sounds like them alright. One's a sexist male, the other's an EXTREMELY strong girl. Still can't believe that someone would do something as stupid as trying to hit on Kushi-chan."
Kurenai just smiles, until she remembered an important detail about Anko. "Oh yeah, speaking of them, it seems that you've been hanging around with them nowadays aren't you?"
"Yup. They're not bad, and they're a friendly bunch too. They also sparred with me, improving me. Also, Kurumi's cooking are to die for. Nope, they are definitely the best guys I have ever been with."
"Even compared to me?" Kurenai pouted.
Anko just laughs at this. "You're my first friend, Kure-chan. They are my latest." After that las exchange, no words are said as they both walks towards the Hokage tower. Upon reaching the tower, they found out that they are one of the earliest jounin sensei there, with some others just a bit earlier than them. After a while, all the jounins comes in and the Sandaime, watching this, stores back his pipe into his drawer before saying, "Alright. Now, all of you had performed the true genin test. Now, which group passed, and which didn't?"
"Team 1 failed, sir. They didn't have the necessary teamwork to perform."
"Team 2 failed. Fangirls brought the team down."
"Team 3 failed. Cannot complete objective."
"Team 4 passed, but barely."
"Team 5 failed."
"Team 6 failed, though I recommend one be placed in ANBU. His stealth is extremely good, and having an infiltration expert like that will help us when it is necessary."
"Team 7?" Sarutobi said. Kakashi, meanwhile, is still absent. "Oh well. I'll hear his report later. Team 8?"
Kurenai stepped forward. "Sir, team 8 successfully performed the genin test. They are able to track me as I performed genjutsus to throw their sense of direction away and take a ribbon I have on me at the time, and they managed to do so, although barely, but still showed teamwork and good strategy among them." She then steps back to give Asuma the attention.
"Team 10... passed. As with their parents, their teamwork is legendary, and they managed to subdue me, though they'll have to work for it. I also expected that Ino would act as a fangirl, but she seems to focus nearly a hundred percent in her objectives. Something that confuses me, but I will not question any good things that happens to me. And training brats is a pretty good thing when they're driven, except Shikamaru, but that's a given." Everyone else just laughs, knowing the fact that the Naras, brilliant as they are, are one of the, if not the, laziest clan in the Elemental Nations.
After everyone has their fun laughing, the Sandaime then looked at Anko. "And what about team 11?"
At this, Anko clears her throat before stepping up to give her report. "Team 11 obviously passed. Unmatched teamwork, highly skilled and extremely good. Not that I have anything else to say. And not that they'll fail to succeed anyway right?" Sarutobi just chuckles at this statement.
A jounin then said, "Hey Anko, you're taking brats now? Don't torture them too bad, man. We don't want genins dying due to their jounin senseis. We are supposed to teach them you know."
"Yeah right. I'll say this early. My team will beat the shit out of your team in seconds, mister. And they'll come back for more once you stopped crying about your pansy-ass genin."
Sarutobi lifts a hand to stop the impending quarrel, causing both of them to go back to their original position among the rabble of jounins in the room. "Alright, now-"
Whatever the Sandaime is about to say is cut short by a Kakashi who suddenly appeared in the middle of the room in a swirl of leaves, the sign of the standard Konoha shunshin, still holding his book while reading it. He then said. "Forgive me, Hokage-sama. As I was about to come here to give my report, I saw a old lady who needs help with her groceries, and" The sound of all the jounins there groaning and smacking their heads due to Kakashi's lame excuses is heard. "As a good citizen of Konoha, I went to help her, then I-" Kakashi is cut short by the Sandaime himself lifting a hand up. "Alright Kakashi, enough. Report please."
He then closes his book shut with a snap before storing it back in his kunai pouch at the back of his waist. He then said his reports in a very relaxed manner, seemingly showing no interest at his own report. "Hokage-sama, team 7 passed. They seemed like a dysfunctional team at the start, what with Sasuke's tendency to not say anything, Sakura's fangirlish attitude towards Sasuke, although it is more tempered than what I expected, and Sai's constant comments about dicks," This last part earned a bunch of giggles coming from the other jounins. "But they worked as a team surprisingly well when Sasuke attacks me, Sai supporting with his art and Sakura uses throwing weapons to support her team. They also managed to find out the true meaning of the bell test, though due to some rude comment from Sai to his teammates. All in all, a perfectly working, albeit dysfunctional team."
Sarutobi sighs. "Guess what Naruto said is true, then. Well, let's get hs show on the road." "Alright all of you. All of you are dismissed, but don't forget that I am making an important announcement today. Everyone must gather around the Hokage tower this evening. I will make an announcement from the top of the tower, and every ninja must not leave the area until the announcement is done, even if the Kyuubi herself attacks. Understand?"
Feeling confused at this (except for Anko of course) but still taking the order to heart, everyone then said "HAI, HOKAGE-SAMA!" before disappearing to do god knows what until the time of the announcement. A while later, Naruto appeared in a Hiraishin at the office while Jiraiya appeared at the window. "Alright old man. Ready?" Naruto said.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Naruto nods. "Of course, old man. As I said, haters will definitely hate. No matter how much I try to convince them otherwise, it will still happen, and there is nothing else I can do but to prove them wrong later. So, that is what I'll do. No problem."
Jiraiya sighs. "Kid, you really have balls of chakra enhanced steel for you to do something like this to the people. I am the only one who has the documents that can help you with that, and I'm sure that some of the people will still reject you out of fear."
"Then let them do so. I'm sure that there will be a time when I'll be able to prove them otherwise, but until then, I'll just have to bear with it. Even if only a little bit of the people supports me, I will still do my best to turn them towards my side."
SJiraiya then said. "Alright then, kid. Let's get this show on the road." Naruto and the Sandaime then nodded, ready to perform one of the most shocking reveal in history of Konoha.
-BREAK-
It is evening, the sun's rays have long since dulled and a nice breeze is blowing, giving everyone that is gathering in front of the Hokage tower a nice, cool wind through them. Some of the people are questioning the announcement, with none of them knowing what it is about. The only thing that they are sure of is the fact that there are ANBUs at the streets for some reason, probably as enforcement and just to ensure that people did not riot, which causes some of the sharper civilians and ninjas to say that the announcement will be a major one.
The figure of Sandaime, accompanied by Jiraiya is then seen walking towards the edge of the Hokage tower with the Sandaime waving some handseal to perform a jutsu that allows him to speak to the people without any need for massive speakers. "People of Konoha!" he said while spreading his hands wide, causing a massive applause to come from the people. "The last time I made an announcement like this, it is to tell all of you the destruction of an illegal part of ANBU called ROOT and the rehabilitation of its members within our society. I am pleased to say that it has worked well." A loud cheer erupted from the people and is stopped when the Sandaime starts to speak again. "However, it is with a great regret that today, another secret kept from all of you is going to be revealed!" at this, the cheer dies down, only to be replaced with a feeling of curiosity.
Sarutobi then continues. "Fourteen years ago, our beloved Konoha was attacked by a being known only as the Kyuubi, (Somewhere looking at the people, Kurumi pouted, saying "I was forced and under a genjutsu!") the nine-tailed demon fox. At that time, our beloved Yondaime sacrificed his life to seal the Kyuubi in an infant only a few hours old, leaving no heir of his own." At this, every member of Konoha's population looked downwards in sadness, and some of them cried out "Kill that demon brat!" Some of the people then joined in the cries for Naruto's death, and almost started a mob to look for him.
The Sandaime, in an attempt to calm the people down, shouts "HOWEVER!" this shout calms the people down, making them turn towards him again. "However," he begins again in a calmer tone. "this is actually a lie. A lie kept to prevent the boy from being attacked by our enemies and to safeguard his existence until he is either old enough, or strong enough to protect himself against the masses of enemies that his father created when he is Hokage. And today, he asked for his identity to be revealed to the people, to all of you, after I deemed him strong enough to protect himself!"
At this, the crowd cheers, with some of them shouting "Show us the boy!" some of the people heard this, and they joined in the cheer, shouting "SHOW US! SHOW US! SHOW US!" at this, the Sandaime smiles, but inwardly, he is worried at their response towards Naruto, but he has gone too far. The only thing he can do is to see it until the end. And with that, he called Naruto, who is wearing a full body cape and hood, covering his body and his face while having Jiraiya walk beside him. "As you all wished then! This figure, this man beside me is the Yondaime's son, hidden for so long, but will now be revealed to all of you, as per his wishes!" some of the people watched the height difference between the figure and the Sandaime immediately feels that there is only one person in Konoha that is that tall.
Their suspicions are immediately confirmed when Naruto tore open his cloak, leaving him in his full gear of long, white coat with orange flames at the bottom with the kanji for 'fox' at the back with the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan symbol at the left sleeve with the picture of a fox with lightning for its legs in a circle at the right (AN: FOX Unit insignia minus the FOX writing; very cool insignia). Within, he wears an orange shirt with a black jacket with pockets around it to hide his equipments and his forehead protector on his forehead. He also wears a pair of black combat pants with thigh high black combat boots.
"This is the son of the Yondaime! His full name, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto! The same boy that he used to seal the Kyuubi in! The Yondaime cannot allow someone else to sacrifice their own child to be the jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi, and thus he used his own son, damning him to a life of an outcast! To be the sacrifice that holds the Kyuubi back! But also to be someone who can cure the Kyuubi of her hatred. He hoped that his beloved village would support the child and give it the love he deserves. Yet, for all his talent and brilliance, he failed in foreseeing the minds of his beloved village." His tone turns solemn halfway through.
Some of the people looked downwards in shame, thinking that they have failed the Yondaime, but some other decides that the Sandaime is lying, and there is no way that the demon brat is the Yondaime's son, and decides to voice it. "There is no way that he is the Yondaime's son! He must've confused you with his demon magicks!" some of the people within the crowd caught on to this, before most of the crowd started to scream for his execution.
Hiruzen and Jiraiya watches Naruto who is calm and composed even when everyone wants him to be executed. Then, he shouts out. "So be it! It's a demon you want, a demon you'll get!" at this, the only thing the Sandaime and Jiraiya can do is to pray hard enough that the plan works to perfection. With a wink towards the Sandaime, Naruto jumps from the top of the Hokage tower.
The people of Konoha is shocked when the so-called Yondaime's heir jumped from the top of the tower. Some of the people even cheered him for doing so, until they watched as the figure of the Yondaime's son turned from a human into a huge, golden blonde coloured gigantic fox with a humanoid upper body with ten tails. His legs then crashed into the ground, his hands clawing the ground beside the mass of people. Luckily, none are killed from both the crash and the claws. Naruto then looked towards the sky in his demon form before letting go a huge, powerful roar towards the sky, causing some of the villagers to scream in fear. "The Kyuubi is back! He's coming to finish us!" as the people are about to run away, the ANBUs situated at the streets around the tower immediately sprang into action. They used Doton jutsus to create massive walls around the area, preventing everyone from going out. Watching this, some of the people screamed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE KYUUBI IS BACK!? HE'S GOING TO KILL US ALL!" behind the walls, the ANBU all thought as one. "No wonder he said to stand our ground no matter even if the Kyuubi attacks again. He DID attack again! But why did he ordered us to trap everyone inside?"
Watching the pandemonium his demon form created among the civilians, Naruto inwardly laughs, before letting out a huge shout of "SILENCE!", silencing the people for a bit. He then proceeds to crack his neck muscles and arms and tests a swing of his arms. He then says "Ah, haven't been in this form for so long, I almost missed it." The people are absolutely stunned that the Kyuubi is not doing anything towards them, only stretching his muscles. He then says, "Now, first thing first," he said with his booming demonic voice. "I am NOT the Kyuubi. Don't believe me? Count my majestic tails." Still scared, the people count his tails, and are shocked that he has 10 of them! They almost screamed their throat hoarse until they heard Naruto said. "Alright, now that that's done, how many of you are there when the Kyuubi attacked?" Not daring to say anything, the people, still silent due to fear lifts their hands for those who are there during the Kyuubi's attack. "Okay. What colour is the Kyuubi's fur? Don't tell me you don't know. Something like that will not be easily forgotten." Then, those who lifted their hands stuttered out "B-b-b-blood red." Naruto bobs his head up and down, still in his demonic form looking at the villagers. "Correct. And what colour is mine?" in their absolute fear, they totally missed the fact that his fur is blonde coloured. And so, someone answered. "B-b-blonde." Naruto nods again. "Good! Now, bonus question: does that make me the Kyuubi? Or at least, the Kyuubi that attacked Konoha?" All of them shook their heads. Most of them are also confused at why this demon is not yet attacking them. And as such, Naruto answers their unasked question.
"You must've been asking 'why the hell am I not attacking you yet', correct? The thing is, I am Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, son of the Yondaime and the heir to Whirlpool Country. This is my demonic form, as a result of a deal made by the Shodaime Hokage with the Kyuubi. Do you know that there are actually 3 hosts of the Kyuubi in Konoha?" Everyone shook their heads. "*sighs* Right. Time for a history lesson. The Kyuubi was controlled by Uchiha Madara when he betrayed his clan to rule Konoha by attacking Konoha at the Valley of the End, where Senju Hashirama and Madara fought. The Kyuubi was then sealed withis her first jinchuuriki, Uzumaki- Senju Mito, the Shodai's wife. On her deathbed, she was moved again into my mother, Uzumaki Kushina. Later, she then marries with my dad in secret and becomes pregnant with me. During the night I was born, someone else broke the seal on my mother's stomach and controlled the Kyuubi, forcing it to attack Konoha again, but this time, right in the middle of it, causing a lot of deaths when compared to the first. She was then sealed inside me. My demon form, the one you are seeing was a result of a deal my ancestors made with the Kyuubi to give me her powers. This makes me a half-demon being, a hanyou. This allows me to freely change my form from my human form to my hanyou form where I remain in my human body but has my tails, ears and eyes out. And this, my full demon form. Got all that?" The people just nods, not trusting their mouth in the face of this revelations.
"Now, the thing is, the Kyuubi, even though she gave me all her powers, is not dead. In fact, she recovered her powers, and also gained a human form. She now is a hanyou as well, just like me. Ah, there she is." And everyone turned around, watching the walking figure of a beautiful redhead among the civilians who is walking towards Naruto. She then, to the shock of everyone, sprouted nine blood-red, white tipped tails from her tailbone and two ears from her head, before turning into another demon, this time, the Kyuubi herself. Unseen by everyone, a small fox kit slips around the legs of all the civilian, intent on finding her target. The Kyuubi also let off a roar towards the sky, causing some of the civilians to piss their pants in fear, though they are ignored. She then looked towards Naruto, before leaping towards him and crashes into him, causing huge chunks of land to fly around, but still, none hitting the people. She then nips Naruto's neck and licks his face with Naruto doing the same to her. As she is about to do even more, Naruto said, and is heard by everyone. "Not now love. Tonight." And gives her a last, gentle lick before looking back towards the people, taking some huge fun in watching their scared shitless faces.
"And so, this is the Kyuubi, my wife, and mate, Uzumaki-Namikaze Kurumi." She then bows towards the direction of the people, her head nearly touching the heads of everyone. Everyone is shocked by this. The Kyuubi whom they thought is a mindless beast hell bent on destruction is actually bowing to them! And almost mated with her mate right in front of everyone! Unseen by everyone, the Sandaime is covering his nose to prevent his nosebleed from becoming too visible and Jiraiya has his notepad out, quickly scratching his new idea for his book inspired by the two of them. Naruto then said, "Love, your turn."
Kurumi then cleared her throat, the voice caused by it causes everyone to cringe in fear. Inwardly, she is laughing her ass off at the hilarious sight of the people huddling together, away from Naruto and her. She then said, "Greetings people of Konoha. As my hubby said, I am the Kyuubi, the one who was forced to attack your village by Uchiha Madara both times, and my name is Kurumi. As for the attack, I am sorry. As he explained, I am not someone or something, in my previous case, who likes to attack other people just for the hell of it. Have you ever heard of attacks by me to other villages? I did not do that. Madara, that asshole, controlled me and forced me to attack all of you. If not, I would rather be sleeping somewhere, like what I've done for the previous hundreds of years before Madara found me. And for the attack, I am sorry."
The people of Konoha is extremely shocked when the Kyuubi herself bowed towards them and asked for an apology from all of them. Before they can say anything hoiwever, she rises again and continues her speech. "I know that a lot of you lost your family members, friends, sons, daughters, among others. I know that an apology from me is not enough. But let me ask of you: will killing me or my husband bring back your loved ones? Will shunning me and my family causes them to come back, pat your back and said 'good job!'? Think about it."
Naruto looks at his wife, then back towards the people. "Well spoken my love. Now, I'd have to say, who really IS the demon here? Do you see me rampaging around killing everyone here, in my demon form or not? Do you see me killing everyone for every transgression towards me? I have eidetic memory you know. I remembered each and every attack done towards me. You!" Naruto said, pointing towards a guy with his huge claws. "You broke my leg in an attack when I'm four!" Naruto points towards the ex-matron of the orphanage. "You told the other kids to bully me, not teach me anything necessary and even beat me up sometimes!" Another woman becomes the target of Naruto's claws. "You poured kerosene on me before a ninja set me on fire!" Another man becomes Naruto's target. "You sold us groceries at 200 times their actual values!" and so on, and so on, each and every crime that they did towards him and his family is brought to light with Naruto pointing at them and speaking their crimes. As more and more people is shown by Naruto, Jiraiya grips his fist so tightly that blood flows from them while Sarutobi swears in his mind that those guilty will pay. Even some of the ninjas are appalled by what Naruto goes through in his daily lives.
Finally, the list of crimes against Naruto stopped and he heaves a huge breath, one that almost blown some of the people away. And he speaks again. "Even with all that, did you see me attacking each of you? To me right now, you are nothing but pests that I can take down and destroy, squish you like a ripe grape or break you like a twig, or by simply placing you, dangling on one leg on top of my mouth before dropping you in and chewing you to paste and shit you out later. But do you see me doing that? DO YOU!?" Naruto screams at the end, causing some of the people, especially the guilty parties to piss and shit themselves if they haven't just now. "No. No I didn't. I would be more than capable, and definitely more than allowed to do so, what with your crimes against me. But that will prove all of you right, won't it? As such, this is what I'll do." Everybody awaits what Naruto's punishment are against them. Once again unseen, a blonde fox kit went between the people's legs to look for her target.
Naruto opened his mouth to speak, and thus, he says, "I forgive all of you." Everyone's faces are the pinnacle of shock and disbelief. Naruto chuckles, though in his demon form, it sounds more like an evil laugh. "What? Too shocked to respond? No. I forgive you all. In fact, I forgave all of you a long time already. I mean, if I were to rage around, killing all those who've wronged me, Konoha would be out of people. So, I'll be the bigger man here, and forgive all of you. I understand what you did to me. In fact, I myself won't say that I won't do such things if I were to be in your shoes. And I have sworn an oath to rid the world of hatred. What will I be if I were to rage around, killing everyone? I'd betray my oath, that's what. And we Uzumaki-Namikazes, we never break our words. This power that I have been blessed or cursed with, this power is meant to protect, not to harm. No matter if you hate me after this; me and my family will still do our best to protect you, whether or not you care about it. Such is my oath, and such will be my task; to protect all of you until the day all of you die."
At that point, the kit who had been looking for her target reaches her target, a woman named Kiyomi. Looking downwards, Kiyomi sees the sight of a lost fox kit grabbing her pants, causing her to lift the kit up into her hands. The kit then yipped before jumping down and made a motion that told her to follow her. She then followed her before they reached a clearing, where the kit immediately transforms into the figure of Kushina, shocking Kiyomi. She then said, "Aunty Kiyomi, do you trust me?"
"Y-yeah, but why?"
Kushina then squats down and said. "Sit at my back. I'll show you something."
She then sits on her back, before Kushina immediately turned into her demon form, causing Kiyomi to scream in fright at first, until Kushina places her on her head and she immediately felt the softness of her for, causing Kiyomi to just rub them on her face.
A couple minutes ago, Naruto continues his speech. "Also, another aspect of my change is that any of my descendants will also gain the same demonic qualities. Look over there." Everyone looks, and is greeted by the sight of Kiyomi on Kushina's head, her seven tails flicking around as she purred due to the rubbing that Kiyomi is currently doing atop her head. Everyone is shocked at this while Naruto chuckles again. "See? She did nothing to Miss Kiyomi over there. In fact, she's purring due to Kiyomi rubbing her head! Well, we are foxes, so that's a given." At this point, Sarutobi is having a hard time not laughing at Kushina, though Jiraiya has no such qualms and is now rolling on the floor while grabbing his stomach due to laughing too hard.
Naruto then looks towards the villagers again. "We are not ones to be feared. The ones who should be feared are the ones who threatens your peace and tries to drag you into a war not of your making. Those are the ones who should be feared. As I said, we are not your enemies, though it goes without saying that it is a bad idea to make us into one. Also, a final warning from me. Harm me, and I won't mind. I can come back from what you give, just as I did all these years. But harm my family, and I'll make you wish you're dead. Get that?" everyone then nods in fear. "Good." Naruto then turns around and looked at Sarutobi. "Jiji, charge every damage caused today on the Uzumaki-Namikaze accounts, okay?" And with that, Naruto jumps upwards, still in his demon form, causing a huge tremor to spread from the point of his jump, and lands on the Hokage tower while transforming into his human form again. Kurumi then walks slowly towards the people as she slowly transforms back into her human form, causing the villagers to avoid her, though she still bows in forgiveness towards the people. Kushina also did the same, causing Kiyomi to pout due to losing her soft bed and Kushina to smile at this.
Sarutobi looks at Naruto, then at the villagers, and speaks. "People of Konoha! If you still have fears towards the Kyuubi, don't! They have proven themselves that they will not harm you, and as such, you should not fear them! Also, Naruto will be inserted into the Shinobi Council as the representative of the Namikaze Clan, with Kurumi as the representative of the Uzumaki Clan! They will also be given the Uzumaki-Namikaze mansion and the Uzumaki-Namikaze accounts, as per the Yondaime's will! So ends the announcement, and you may return to your homes. ANBU! Remove the blockades!" the ANBU members then removes the blockades and lets the people out to go back to their homes, still in a daze due to all the revelations that was dumped on their heads today, though those who fainted and too scared to move are left there, pretty much with all manner of refuse that the people left behind.
Sighing, Naruto made hundreds of Shadow Clones who proceeds to clean the place up while he himself follows Sarutobi towards his office. Upon reaching his office, Naruto let out a sigh of relief. "Whew. Everything went just as planned there. Thanks for letting me do that, old man."
Sarutobi just chuckles. "No problem Naruto. At least your clones are already cleaning all that stuff the people left and there are no lynch mobs asking for your head."
Jiraiya then said. "Kid, that has got to be the best way to reveal your identity ever!"
Naruto said then, "Yeah, I know. I have quite the devious mind, did I not? So, what now?"
Sarutobi then said. "Now, your parents' accounts are given to you completely, and their mansion is officially yours now. Also, you and your family member's name are now officially changed to Uzumaki-Namikaze. Time to bring out the second papers, hidden for so long."
"Heh. Good. Well, see you tomorrow then, old man."
Sarutobi stopped him before he could Hiraishin out. "Naruto, wait. You still need to introduce yourself to the council, as per the usual law for new council members."
Naruto scratches his chin. "When's the next meeting?"
"Supposedly today, but your announcement just cancelled that. Tomorrow evening, maybe?"
"Alright then, old man. Tomorrow it is. I'll be going for now, see you tomorrow for missions." And with that, Naruto Hiraishins away to his home. Jiraiya then said to Sarutobi, "He's definitely going to be someone in the future won't him?"
"Yes. Yes he will, Jiraiya. Of that, I have no doubts. Come. There's going to be a lot of fallout from his reveal, and I am not the most interested person to see just what will the people say about him." And with that, both Jiraiya and the Sandaime left his office, both not really looking forward to all the cap that's going to fall with all that Naruto reveals.
-CHAPTER ENDS-
So the next chapter will start the missions, the aftermath of this reveal and probably the Wave arc, or anything else if I decided to extend it a bit or change it entirely to something else. Suggestions are welcome! So don't forget, read and review! Renegadeofficer89, out for now!
