Normal speech: "Naruto was a fast kid when you gave him chocolate."
Demon/Summon or Fusion speech: "I know right, I mean Anbu wouldn't catch him!"
Human Thinking: 'Damn.'
Demon or Inner beings thoughts: 'Ohh you have no idea mortal of the power of ADHD!'
Flashback: I wonder if I gave Naruto-kun chocolate now if I could seduce him!
Author: "Only one way to find out!"
(Let's see what happened last time real quick)
"It looks like you are by yourself Hokage-sama; it would be wise to back away from this fight, lest your old age get you killed." Itachi said coldly.
"Why do you want Naruto" Sarutobi growled, hoping to buy a little time.
"Because he is the prize the Akatsuki is after, and we will have him." Itachi said calmly. "Kisame, it's over, let's go."
"Naruto!" Hinata screamed as she ran at them.
"Let me deal with her this time Itachi" Kisame said raising his sword.
"No, she has annoyed me long enough, I'll do it." Itachi said as he readied himself for the kill when.
A Massive chakra flowed from behind the pair causing everyone to freeze.
"Shit" Itachi said breaking the silence "Naruto has awakened."
(Huh, I thought I made someone throw a pie…ohh well…)
Chapter eight: Attack of the Fan girls
"So we have to rough the target up a little, big deal!" Kisame said with an evil smile and a swing of his sword. "It's a lot more fun than taking a kid that's asleep."
Everyone watched as Naruto opened his eyes and slowly rose up to a sitting position.
"…Ok curious; why am I in the middle of a forest?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Naruto watch out, these two are trying to kidnap you!" Sarutobi said as he got ready to charge.
"Heh, I'll take his legs clean off, we don't need our little friend going anywhere" Kisame said as he charged Naruto, ready to remove an appendage or two.
"The hell?" Naruto said barely dodging the blow and landed on the backside of the two. "Hey, what the hell did I ever do to you two?"
He then winced as he held his stomach 'crap, still feeling it from that stupid snakeophiles attack… so I'm not dead, that's kind of cool.'
"You did nothing" Itachi said activating his sharingan; "you happen to have something we are interested in sealed in you, so we will take you with us."
'So that is the reason these two are after him!' Sarutobi narrowed his eyes at the two men.
"Ummm, if you're talking about "Mr. Snuggly mc fluffy paws your kind of screwed." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head.
This alarmed all the adults and confused the hell out of Hinata.
"What do you mean?" Itachi demanded. "It is still there inside you is it not?"
"Use your swirly eyes for more than putting people to sleep; can you see anything?" Naruto said a little annoyed.
Focusing his eyesight directly at the seal Itachi was in for a shock. "It… it isn't there… where is it now?" he again demanded.
"I ate him" Naruto said making everyone sweatdrop.
"Umm… ok… now that the humor is over; where the fuck is the damn thing!" Kisame roared lifting the giant sword over his head.
"I kind of absorbed it… umm, my bad?" Naruto said slightly sheepishly.
"…The hell!" a bunch of voices shouted at the same time.
Kisame turned to Itachi "Ok umm… what do we do about this Itachi?"
"We bring him in to make sure" Itachi said as his eyes span a bit.
'…Shit' Naruto thought to himself 'I don't have a lot of physical energy at the moment, how in the hell did I get mixed in with this?'
"You forget I am still here!" Sarutobi said angrily; "I have yet to fight at full strength; I don't carry this title because of nothing."
"I...I won't let you hurt Naruto-kun!" Hinata said without a stutter taking a stance.
"Annoying girl" Kisame growled before turning to her and swinging.
She felt something strike her pushing her out of the way right before it struck the spot she had stood on.
'Naruto-kun… thanks' she thought as Naruto vanished.
"Umm… crap the kid kinda poofed" Kisame said pointing to where he had stood.
"No he is here" Itachi replied 'But for some reason I can't pinpoint exactly where; I guess the report was true; Naruto has grown in power.'
Naruto then suddenly reappeared next to Hinata making her squeak for a second.
"Got him" Itachi said as both his and Naruto's vision made contact; "Mangekyo Sharingan"
"Wha-" Naruto said before he was pulled into his mind…
(Mindscape)
"What the… ohh… I'm here again" Naruto said to himself as he looked around.
"Strange… Usually I have my victims bound when I reach them here" said a voice as Itachi came into view.
"Wait, is this the Mangekyo attack?" Naruto asked curious.
"Yes, I am unsure how you know of it, but it doesn't matter" Itachi said as he vanished and reappeared by Naruto grabbing him by the neck.
He then bound the boy to a piece of wood he formed using his power. "Not what I usually do, but it will be affective enough."
'Shit not cool' Naruto thought as he was powerless against the chain that held him. 'Wait, the Mangekyo works by using those closest to you as a means to attack. I don't know how he would know but if it minds reads then I've got no choice!' Naruto then focused on his memories. 'Fuinjutsu: Mind inside mind' Naruto then froze for a second before sitting up.
"For the next seventy two hours I shall show you your worst nightmare." Itachi said calmly.
As he raised his hand he expected to see the boy's friends and comrades appear chained so that he could show the boy their deaths; instead though… nothing happened.
'What is going on…?' Itachi said before looking at Naruto directly.
"Ok so where is this nightmare you are talking about?" Naruto asked tilting his head.
'I don't understand, why isn't it working… could it be he has no one?' Itachi mused.
"If you're done wasting my time then let me go please." Naruto said pissed that he was chained to a two by four.
"…Regardless, I shall torture you myself for the next seventy two hours." Itachi said as his eye twitched.
He then pulled a black sword from under his cloak and stabbed the kid in the chest.
Naruto then saw clones of himself and of Itachi where they took the same blows he took.
"Only seventy one hours and fifty nine minutes… to go" Itachi said calmly.
'…Crap' Naruto thought as he felt the blade pierce him again.
(Roughly five seconds later in the real world)
"Uhhgg" Itachi groaned as he held his hand over his eyes.
"You get him?" Kisame asked looking to his partner.
"…He is resistant to my Mangekyo" Itachi said alarming Sarutobi as well as Kisame and the Anbu.
"I did affect him to some degree, we will have to finish it the old fashion way."
"Ohh, goody, my favorite way," Kisame grinned.
…
As Naruto regained his senses he was in for a bit a treat.
A headache…
'Damn that hurt' Naruto thought to himself as he shook his head.
"Na-Naruto-kun, are yo-you o-k-ay?" Hinata asked as he as he held his head.
"Sure, just tired of genjutsu" Naruto told her with a smile.
'Itachi must have used the jutsu he used on me on Naruto-kun' she thought to herself angrily.
Kisame raised his sword; pointing it at Naruto. "Let's just finish these kids and the old guy."
"You can try" Naruto said as his eyes flashed color for a second.
Suddenly the wind picked up around the trio from Konoha; spiraling around them as a means of defense.
"Well I'm not sure how we got into this mess; but is everyone ready?" Naruto said as he regained his "usual calmness."
"Hai" Hinata said, ready to back up Naruto to her last breath.
"This old man has some kick in him still" Sarutobi said as he stretched himself out. 'Good thing I had my coffee and three rounds of tobacco earlier this morning.'
…
The two sides stood there, any move would signal attack!
A sweat drop dripped from Naruto's face as another dripped from Itachi.
Then, as the two drops hit the cold earth; they charged!
(Hyuuga district)
"Momma, are we going to visit Naruto-kun today?" Hanabi asked as the two returned to the front gate of the Hyuuga estate.
You see Hanabi had gotten thirsty so the two had gone inside to get a drink.
"Yes we can, as soon as we find your sister; I'm sure she would like to go as well." Hitomi said with a smile, happy that Hanabi had taken a shine to the blond haired ninja. Hanabi was known to like few people enough to openly talk to them, much less talk about them.
"Big sister already went" Hanabi said smiling "She left a while ago."
"Ohh, I see, well hopefully visitation is still open; shall we go now then?" the Hyuuga matriarch asked her younger daughter.
"Ok!" Hanabi said happily as the two went off in the direction of the hospital.
(Roughly ten minutes later)
"We're here mommy!" Hanabi said as she pulled on Hitomi's arm; trying to get her inside faster.
"Yes we are dear, don't pull so hard" Hitomi said still smiling while holding her hand.
"Hitomi-sama" a voice called out.
Turning her head around she noticed a Hyuuga run up to her.
"Natsumi-chan, what is it?" Hitomi asked as her guard/friend came up to her.
"My apologies, I was unaware you had left yet" She said with a bow.
"Hanabi and I are on our way in to see Naruto-san; will you be accompanying us inside?" she asked in a polite Hyuuga way.
"Of course Hitomi-sama, to be honest I wished to see him as well" the strict woman said surprising the two main house members.
"You want to see Naruto-kun as well?" Hanabi asked voicing both of their opinions.
"His strength is known throughout the branch families; as well as his rescue of Hanabi-sama, I wish to meet him to see what kind of person he is." Natsumi said making the matriarch nod in understanding.
"Shall we go in then?" Hitomi asked Hanabi.
"Yes!" she said in an energetic way.
Neither noticing a slight blush on the third members face as they went in.
…
…
…
Or tried to anyways.
As they got to the door several Anbu ran out from the building in a hurry nearly knocking them over.
"My apologies Hyuuga-san" one said with a quick bow as several others joined them in a group.
"Is everyone present?" one said in a firm voice.
"Yes captain" they chorused.
"Then here is the situation, Uzumaki-san was kidnapped by at least two assailants less than fifteen minutes ago; the Hokage is on route along with a few members of section seventeen. We must catch up to them as fast as possible."
"Hai!" they said ready to leave.
"Be careful, Itachi Uchiha has been identified as one of the assailants, we must take caution; move out!"
They all left in a dance of leaves, not really paying attention to the fact three Hyuuga could hear every word.
"Ma-mommy?" Hanabi said as she looked to her mother very alarmed.
"He was kidnapped by Itachi of the Uchiha clan?" Hitomi voiced very quietly before she turned in the direction the Anbu had left in, only to be stopped by Natsumi.
"Hitomi-sama, the Hokage and several Anbu can take care of this, we should stay here" She said as Hitomi shook her head.
"We should go help, he's still unconscious and Itachi will kill him!"
"I-is Naruto-san going to be ok mommy?" Hanabi asked while she looked up concerned.
"Yes dear, he will be fine" Hitomi said with a faked smile.
"The two of us might be able to help find him at least" she said as Natsumi lowered her head.
"My apologies Hitomi-sama, but I don't think I am on par with the Uchiha, I am only a special Jonin, not an Anbu."
'Even though I'm the current Matriarch I'm only a regular Jonin myself; could I actually help in any way?' Hitomi thought to herself. She hated this feeling, the feeling of being unable to do anything; she hadn't felt this useless since they sealed Naruto's memories.
(Small flashback)
"What do you mean I can't thank the boy for his help?" Hitomi said very upset "He is the only reason my daughters and I aren't in Kumo as we speak. I thank you so much for your help Sarutobi, why can I not thank him as well?"
Sarutobi could only sigh as he watched Naruto from behind the glass. "The seal your hus… Hiashi put on the boy has damaged his mind, perhaps permanently; I have had it removed and his memories locked within his mind. If these memories should accidentally resurface until such a time he could deal with them his mind may very well collapse. I ask you to keep your distance to prevent any kind of memory spike to occur which could cause Naruto-kun to suffer."
"Will I ever be able to thank him for what he's done?" she asked hoping for a chance.
"perhaps, but for now he is to be left alone in this I'm afraid" Sarutobi said sadly 'Naruto I expect a full recovery from you.'
(Two years later)
"Ahh, what can I do for you Hitomi-san?" Sarutobi asked as he removed his pipe.
"I… heard that Naruto had suffered long term damage from… the seal" Hitomi said sadly.
Sarutobi lowered his head in a nod slowly. "He has, though unsure of how much even now, his recovery has slowed to the point of standing still. I… am unsure if he will ever truly recover from that damage; it affected everything from his mental stability to his motor skills."
"Will I be able to help in any way?" Hitomi asked sadly.
"I must ask you to stay away I'm afraid… even going near the Hyuuga district seems to affect him negatively." He replied with a lowered tone.
"I… I see" She said sadly before leaving slowly.
'Naruto… damn it boy… I know you can fight this' Sarutobi shook his head before lighting up another bowl of that calming ash…
(Flashback finished)
"Hitomi-sama?" Natsumi asked for most likely the hundredth time.
"Hmm? Ohh, I'm sorry" Hitomi said shaking her head to clear it.
"Perhaps we can help in some way if you truly wish to" Natsumi said in a reasserting way.
"I'm coming to!" Hanabi said quickly.
"Hanabi-chan you-"Hitomi started only to be cut off.
"I'm not being left behind while you two go, I want to help Naruto-kun as well" she said in an upset manner "And I'm not 'too young' I'm ten and a half! I graduate the academy in less than two years."
"Be that as it may Hanabi-sama, it will be very dangerous even for higher ranked ninja, technically you aren't a shinobi yet" Natsumi said with a small bow.
"Put a sock in it" Hanabi said.
"Hanabi!" Hitomi scolded as she wasn't used to her daughter saying things in such a manner.
"I'm helping whether or not you want me to" she replied before seeing several more Anbu zoom past atop the buildings. Watching them go she attempted to follow on the ground.
"Hanabi!" Hitomi called out before she and Natsumi followed. "Natsumi, can you carry her?" she asked as they caught up.
"Hai Hitomi-sama" she replied before picking up the girl and the two of them running to catch up.
(Several minutes later)
"Hyuuga-sama, why are you here?" an Anbu squad leader asked as they caught up with a group.
"To help you find them faster using our eyes" Hitomi replied as the Anbu nodded.
"Possum you and Noodles guard the child and her carrier until we get there, they will stay back as we get close" the leader said as they nodded.
'Noodles?" Natsumi, Hitomi, Hanabi sweat drop 'I guess they ran out of names.'
As they ran an explosion in the distance told everyone where to go.
'Hang on Naruto-kun' all three Hyuuga thought in unison.
(Scenery change)
"Hold still!" Kisame shouted as his sword connected with the dirt yet again.
'Shit, still in bad shape' Naruto thought as he narrowly dodged a kick from Itachi.
"A nuisance, Katon: Grand Fireball" Itachi stated as he fire the blast at the trio.
"Ninpo: Inhalation" Sarutobi said as he sucked he fireball up with his mouth.
…
And fired it at Kisame
"Holy crap" Kisame said as he dodged a narrow roasted butt fry.
This gave Naruto enough of a chance to return to the other two.
"Every time I get close to Itachi then Kisame finds a way to interfere, old man can you keep Itachi busy for a minute or so?" he asks the veteran.
"I can do that, he has me beat in speed, but I can show this brat a thing or two" Sarutobi then slammed his hands together "Doton: Third fissure" causing a rippled fissure to form between the two before expanding causing the two to split up.
"Hinata, can you take Kisame?" Naruto asked as he made a few hand signs.
"I do-on't thin-nk I can get cl-close enough" she said as she remembered how close she had come the last attempt she had made.
"I can offer a temporary defense from his sword, it should get you close enough, he's insanely strong, but slower than you are with your hand stuff." Naruto said as she nodded.
"I'll tr-try"
"No, either do it or don't attempt it; I'm not losing any freaking friends today" Naruto said as she looked to him.
It seemed to give her a small boost of confidence.
"Ok… I'm re-ready" she said as she took a stance.
Closing his eyes for a second he reopened them allowing her to see them changed.
"Na-Naruto-kun, yo-your eyes!" she said alarmed.
"Just relax, they do that sometimes" he said with a small grin "Kind of need them on to use this Fuuton: Winds of Splendor."
Hinata "meeped"as she felt a strong wind around her, before a lite glow covered her skin.
"It'll boost your speed a little as well, I'm counting on you to stay alive" he said in a serious tone.
'I… I can do this' she told herself as she nodded before she ran at Kisame.
"All right then, Hyouton: Frozen encasement" Naruto said as water crept around him before freezing, giving him a sheen appearance similar to Hinata's.
"All right, let's beat some emo" Naruto said as he ran at Itachi.
(Kisame)
"So you think you can hurt me little girl?" Kisame said as he grinned "Let's see you try it!"
He then swung his sword, but missed horribly.
'How did she move fast enough to dodge that?' he asked himself.
'Naruto-kun's jutsu is working, i… I can hit him.' She told herself as she managed to strike him in the chest with a few hits.
"Damn Hyuuga techniques" Kisame said as he jumped into the air "Suiton: waterfall" as he caused her to become unbalanced due to the sheer amount of water.
"Now I got you!" he said as he struck her with his weapon sending her flying.
"She's done for" he said out loud as he turned his back to face the other two.
"Ahh!" Kisame said as he felt something slam into his back causing it to go numb.
'Naruto-kun, you saved me again' Hinata voiced in her head as she struck him with everything she had sending the large man through the air.
'I hope I can help you more Naruto-kun.'
(Itachi)
"Old man, need a smokescreen" Naruto said as he created enough shadow clones to cover the field.
"Done" the old man said as he inhaled "Ninpo: Tenzic Smog" releasing a purple like cloud from his mouth that blanketed the field.
"Hmmph pathetic, Katon Phoenix's emulation" Itachi said in the cloud as the entire area became a fireball.
"Did you really think that would work?" Itachi asked as he watched the last of the clones disappear.
"Yes it did" A voice said as Naruto charged from the flames.
"Pathetic little nuisance" Itachi took a step before a hand grabbed his leg from the ground.
"The Headhunter jutsu?" Itachi was then raised through the air via long clone chain; it twisted and span him as the original turned to Sarutobi.
"Your move old man"
"Hmmph, an easy target Katon: Immolation pyre" he called out before a flame of dark red ran up the clone chain and exploded.
"He still has some fight in him I see" Sarutobi said as he watched him land right before Kisame ran over to him.
"I See a good fight, might this ladies' man join in!" a voice called out as a figure jumped over next to Naruto, Sarutobi, and Hinata whom had rejoined the group.
"Jiraiya, so good of you to join us" The old Hokage said as he faced the two men.
"Not hard to find you with all the chakra flaring all over the place." The white haired man smirked.
"I'm sorry Na-Naruto-kun, I tr-tried to st-stop him" Hinata said out of breath.
"Looks like you gave him a limp to me" Naruto said as he watched Kisame sag a bit.
"Hmmm both the Hokage and Jiraiya on top of Naruto is a bit much at this point" Itachi said as he watched the four figures "Regardless, Naruto is indeed powerful, but has multiple weak points.
"Girl has some bite in her as well, survived my shark blade directly hitting her." Kisame said with a grin completely ignoring Itachi.
"A jutsu from Naruto most likely, the blow she gave you was due to your own ignorance."Itachi stated coolly.
"Kind of like the fact your hair is on fire in the back is because of this 'ignorance' ha" Kisame smirked as Itachi licked his fingers and put it out.
"We shall retreat for now, let's go report this upset in abilities to the organization" Itachi said as he vanished.
"Looking forward to a rematch in the future kiddies" Kisame grinned as he too vanished.
"A formidable duo those two" Jiraiya said as Sarutobi lowered his guard.
"I'm too damn old for these constant fights" He said as he shook his head.
"You're just out of shape" Jiraiya smirked.
"Hmmph, probably right" Sarutobi said as he sighed.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata said as the two men turned to face them.
"You ok kid?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto picked himself off the ground from where he had face vaulted from pain.
"Ohh yah, never better; anyone want to clue me in on why 'Emo the second and Fishy the fish man" attacked us?" Naruto said as the two grinned at Naruto's joke; and Hinata giggled a tiny quiet giggle.
"They were after you Naruto-kun' Hinata said very quietly without a stutter.
"Why would they come after me?" Naruto asked after making sure Hinata and Sarutobi were ok; it wouldn't do to have them get hurt because of him.
"Most likely because of 'it'" Sarutobi said allowing Naruto to get the picture.
"Ha, too bad for them, not possible." Naruto said smirking.
"What do you mean?" Sarutobi asked perplexed.
Turning his head to Hinata Naruto then turned back away "I'll explain later."
Hinata was of course greatly confused, but if Naruto was fine she wouldn't pry.
…
…
Till later that is
"So why did you take so long? Sarutobi asked as Jiraiya huffed.
"Because a Hero never shows up until the last minute" he said pounding his chest out. "Ohh and because I found them in the woods" he pointed to a couple units of Anbu and a couple Hyuuga.
"Mo-mother why are yo-you here?" Hinata asked as the group came closer.
"The same reason I was going to ask you" Hitomi asked as Sarutobi sighed.
"Why don't we all return to the village to answer the questions everyone has; Anbu, help the others and get the injured into treatment."
"Hai Hokage-sama"
'I need a damn nap' Naruto and Sarutobi both thought as they shook their heads.
(Time elapse one Hour)
"So everyone is fine then?" Sarutobi asked an Anbu as he reported in.
"Several are in serious condition, but all shall recover given a little time" the Anbu answered as the Hokage nodded and the Anbu left.
"All right then, I would ask that only Naruto and Jiraiya stay, I have a few private questions for them" Sarutobi said as three of the four began to leave; Hitomi however continued to stare at Naruto, well not so much stare and glance at when she thought he wasn't paying attention.
"Umm… can I help you Hyuuga-san?" Naruto asked as he noticed her glances.
"N-no I'll be on my way" she said as she left before giving Sarutobi a look that said "I need to talk later" to which he nodded.
As everyone else left Naruto turned to Jiraiya
"So… what's this perverted man doing here?" Naruto asked haphazardly.
"Brat I'm the legendary sage himself, the writer of the greatest series of all time, the man of many women the-"
"Perverted old man that likes toads" Naruto smirked.
"Bah" he said with his hands crossed.
"Naruto, this is Jiraiya, he was one of my students back when I was a sensei, he can be trusted." Sarutobi said with some seriousness to his voice.
Naruto shrugged "If you say so old man."
Filling his pipe up again he turned back to Naruto "Now what did you mean when you said they couldn't get 'it' out anymore?"
Naruto yawned "Simple, it doesn't exist anymore; I absorbed him" he said as both older men gawked.
"Ha… how?" both asked quickly to which Naruto shrugged again.
"Beats me, but he's gone and I got his chakra, it apparently happened when I was younger."
After a long silence Jiraiya then turned to him "What was with your eyes earlier; I saw them change color."
"Yes Naruto-kun, why did they seem to change, can you show us please?" Sarutobi asked as Naruto nodded slightly.
"I guess" he said as he closed his eyes before a slight breeze ran by and he opened them to reveal Sorantagan he said shocking them both.
"Incredible, a ke ke genkai!" Jiraiya said as he observed them up close.
"I wonder if I have any information on such a jutsu" Sarutobi asked himself out loud before getting up and retrieving a book from his shelf.
After about five or six minutes Sarutobi held the book out.
"It is indeed called Sorantagan, though not a lot is known about it; it is an extinct ability to control wind and allow the use of the sub element of ice. This also says that there are several levels of power involved… it hasn't been seen in over a hundred years!"
"I guess no one will think I stole it then" Naruto said shutting them off.
"Do you even know what a ke ke genkai is kid?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto turned his head sideways.
"Kakashi said something about it being hereditary I think, I know the sharingan and byakugan are both ke ke genkai, about all I know."
"Naruto" Sarutobi said in a serious stern voice "…Would you be willing to show this to the council in an upcoming meeting?"
"Hell no, they'll claim I stole it and try to kill me again" Naruto said with a huff.
Taking a puff of smoke the wizened old man asked Jiraiya to leave for a moment.
"Naruto… I would like you to show them… it'll be fine… and… I know who your parent's are."
…Naruto became quite frozen.
"Who… what are their names?" he asked in a low voice.
"I've known since you were little… I originally didn't tell you because… I was afraid your fathers old enemies would come after you; the village was still in repairs from the Kyuubi and-"
"I don't care about politics, I just… want to know their names" Naruto said as his voiced picked up a little, eager know the answer.
"Your mother's name… Was Kushina, Kushina Uzumaki; she was… an Anbu for a while, when she wasn't an Anbu she had the title of 'The Red Death' and held elite Jonin status."
'…Mom' Naruto almost cried… almost.
"Your father… was named Minato Namikaze and… his picture hangs above you" Sarutobi said as Naruto looked up.
"All I see is the fourth…
…
Hokage…
…
The Fourth!" Naruto was in shock.
"Yes… Minato was indeed the fourth Hokage and… was your father Naruto" Sarutobi then closed his eyes as he envisioned Naruto becoming angry.
'All those attacks… all the pain you've had to endure… I could have prevented if I had told everyone… I'm certain Naruto will become cold after this, and I don't blame him… to know your own father sealed-"
"Ha, wait till the others see this hear about this! The dobe of the year's parents were the Hokage and a badass Anbu" Naruto half laughed as tears fell from his face.
"Naruto I… I'm sorry I didn't tell you I-"
"Its fine old man, but now I know; did you ever plan to make this public?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, I planned to tell everyone when you made Chunin" Sarutobi said, happy Naruto wasn't pissed as hell.
"That reminds me, who did make Chunin?" Naruto asked as his excited attitude increased.
"Well… it's been decided that both Shikamaru and you have shown the needed skills to be given such rank" Sarutobi said as Naruto's eyes gleamed almost maliciously.
"Heh, wait till I rub it in Sasuke's face" he grinned thinking of all the different colors the boy of duck butt hair would turn.
"…You seem pretty happy, I was worried… that-"
"I'm not revengeful old man, I'm just happy I finally know who my parents are; but if you feel upset I can totally milk that for some ramen sometime" Naruto said as he turned from the old man to prevent him from seeing him cry.
…No one would ever see him cry again
'I promise to make it up to you Naruto' Sarutobi thought to himself as he watched the ordeal.
"So why did you throw the pervert out?" Naruto asked curiously as the old man chuckled.
"He'll find out later, I figured you deserved to know first, but call him back in; I need him in here for a mission."
A moment later Naruto came back with Jiraiya.
"All right old man I'm out of here, I'm in need of food." Naruto said as Sarutobi pulled out his pipe again.
"Ok then Naruto-kun, oh and um… do to what I told you earlier you um… may need to be married relatively soon."
Naruto gawked; he had never thought of marriage much, truth be told he assumed he would never get married because of how people treated him; or at least in would be late in life after he became Hokage.
"Heh, maybe in a few years" Naruto said in a childlike voice as he rolled his eyes as he left.
'Not as long as you may think' Sarutobi smirked. He was determined to pay Naruto back, and this would in his own mind fix a few things.
… Too bad he never asked Naruto… but then the "Surprise" would be ruined.
Heh heh heh
"What was that all about?" Jiraiya asked as he Hokage smirked.
"Ohh yes I guess I should let you in on the fun as well shouldn't I? I'll probably need a little help on this anyways." He said as he told Jiraiya of the ideas in his head.
(Hyuuga Home)
Hitomi was a little overwhelmed.
In the last week Naruto had both nearly died as well as had been kidnapped.
Her youngest daughter had nearly been raped.
And her oldest had alongside Naruto attempted to fight off a pair of S class shinobi.
To tell you the truth she was exhausted.
But she was also happy; happy because everyone was safe, happy that Naruto seemed to be happier as well as that her daughters seemed to like him somewhat (^_^ a very slight understatement I assure you ^_^)
'Maybe I can talk with Sarutobi about a direct conversation with Naruto sometime' she thought happily; 'Naruto-kun didn't have any negative effects from any of us like he used to; maybe just maybe I can talk with him face to face instead of watching him from afar… that doesn't sound creepy in the least' she then blushed a little from her thoughts.
"Momma, are you ok?" Hanabi asked while Hitomi shook her head to clear it.
"Yes I'm fine" she told her daughter with a reassuring smile.
"Naruto-san seemed to be as nice as I'd heard" Natsumi said uncharacteristically as she was usually silent.
"Naruto-kun is very nice mommy" Hanabi said with a smile.
"Yes he is isn't he?" Hitomi said with a smile before noticing something…
She then smirked lightly at Natsumi which creeped her out a little.
"Ca-can I help in any way Hitomi-sama?" Natsumi asked as Hitomi grinned lightly.
"You're not very formal when talking about Naruto-kun are you" Natsumi's eyes widened slightly before a very light blush came to her face.
"My apologies Hitomi-sama" she said quickly before leaving.
'I wonder what that was about' Hitomi asked herself just as Hinata entered the room.
"Hinata, did you get hurt any during your fight today?" Hitomi asked as Hinata shook her head.
"No mo-mother Na-Naruto-kun ke-kept me from getting h-hurt" She said with a blush.
Sighing the Hyuuga matriarch lowered her face slightly in thought before smiling and shaking her face.
"Naruto-kun seems to be saving my family a lot" she said as Hanabi looked up to her.
"Mom, can Naruto-kun come visit sometime?" she asked with sparkly colored eyes 'Heh, mom can't withstand the shiny eye technique' she thought with a grin.
"I…don't know" Hitomi said a little downcast; "He's most likely very busy most of the time with missions and such."
"Big sister here doesn't have missions all the time." Hanabi said with her hand directed at her sister.
"Ano… Naruto-kun do-does a lo-lot more mi-missions that I d-do" Hinata said as she remembered in the past a couple times where he would come in and collect D ranked missions to complete solo while her team was there.
"HE"S WHO!" a shout was heard from outside.
'Who was that? As loud as that was everyone in the village probably heard that.' Hitomi wondered.
"Why so many missions?" Hanabi asked curious.
"Hinata and her team are all from clans" Hitomi told her "they don't have to make a living doing missions."
"Well Naruto-kun's parents don't expect him to pay for everything himself do they?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Naruto-kun doesn't have any parents" Hinata said in a very low voice.
"He doesn't have a clan or parents?" Hanabi asked as her mother nodded sadly. "oh, I… I didn't know that…"
The ground felt so special today because of all the staring it had gotten.
"You can always ask though, he might be able to; he's more than welcome" Hitomi told her daughters 'Far more than welcome.'
(Back with Jiraiya and Sarutobi)
"I… I thought Minato's son had died" Jiraiya said slowly.
"No… Minato sealed the Kyuubi inside of him." Sarutobi said as Jiraiya gritted his teeth.
"He at least has had a good life I take it?" He asked his old sensei before watching the man's expression. "I see… so he hasn't has he?"
"…No he hasn't…" Sarutobi said regretfully "The village has treated him poorly over the years; I'm very glad Naruto never took to anger."
"Kid either doesn't have it in him or he's a damn saint" Jiraiya said as he closed his eyes. "So Minato's son; with a ke ke genkai… wait! Does that mean he falls under" he asked with a grin.
"Yes he should" Sarutobi said grinning back as both of them giggled perversely.
"When you going to break the news to the illustrious council?" Jiraiya asked quickly "I want to see their faces; half of the damn bastards will probably orgasm in their chairs hearing about his eyes."
"I plan to do it soon… in fact I plan that meeting and the following chaos to be my last full action as Hokage" Sarutobi said as Jiraiya looked at him funny.
Sighing the man took a puff from his pipe and exhaled "I'm old Jiraiya, too old for the chaos of today's world; I don't plan on dying for a good while yet, but this job drains me too fast. I am pretty sure Naruto still wants this job eventually, but he isn't ready yet. He has the power for it I'm sure; he just needs more time learning the ropes. I believe Naruto may be ready in a few years, but I plan to have a replacement until then."
"Who do you plan on taking the job?" Jiraiya asked curious.
"To be honest, only you or Tsunade truly have the potential to take this role; I sure as hell can't have Danzo in this chair."
"True, that old fart will probably have us at war within forty eight hours" Jiraiya grinned. "I don't want the job old man; I'm more of a cloak and dagger kind of guy, but I don't think I can get Tsunade to come back to take it."
"That's why I want you and Naruto to both go and find her" Sarutobi said as Jiraiya cocked his head. "Naruto has a gift; a gift to find good in people around him. To be honest you're either with him, or you reject him completely. I think maybe he can get Tsunade to return; the fact that he is her godson is a little plus in the book."
"Ok, so I'll take the Gaki with me on a little trip to find our missing blonde; what are you planning to do while I'm gone?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
"I need to contact the Fire Daimyo and let him know about the new ke ke genkai" Sarutobi said with a smile "They record this stuff in the central library."
With his hand held out Jiraiya said "Ok operation: Collect the Hokage shall go underway;" to which Sarutobi grinned and shook his hand "then we launch operation: Get a boy under fifteen laid"
Much perverse laughter ran through the building.
(Naruto)
"Naruto my boy I haven't seen you in a while" Teuchi said with a smile as Naruto entered the small ramen shack.
"So much to do old man, so much to do." He grinned "I'd like three, super miso please."
"Of course; three extra-large miso coming up" the ramen chef smiled as he started up the meat and added the noodles to the water.
"Got a good stomach on you kid" a voice said as Jiraiya entered and sat down next to him.
"Lord Jiraiya of the Sannin! We-welcome, what can I get you?" Teuchi was shocked that such a man had entered his small establishment.
"Just a large beef if you would" He said as he removed the scroll from his back and place it to his side.
"I usually eat more; but I gotta go easy since I'm still injured." Naruto said as he winced lightly.
"And how did my best customer get injured?" Teuchi asked as he tossed in an egg into the bowl he was preparing.
"Getting a sword to the gut kind of smarts" Naruto said sheepishly as Teuchi nearly dropped the bowl.
"Ha-how did you get that?" he asked as Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Just a day in the life a ninja; stupid invasion" he said as Teuchi looked to him.
"Well as long as you recover from it then I guess its ok, but take care of yourself though; how is Ichiraku supposed to become famous if my best customer doesn't live to become Hokage?"
"Heh, no worries; I don't plan on dying any time soon; I got stuff to do" He grinned as Teuchi placed their food in front of them.
As they started to eat Naruto turned to the older shinobi "So curious; why are you here?" he asked as Jiraiya grinned lightly.
"Because you and I have a mission from the old man" he said as he slurped a few noodles.
"Kind of weird; usually it's a full team sent out" Naruto said as he inhaled half the bowl at once.
"I'm a Sannin kid; we count as our own team; but I figured I could teach you a thing or two while we did our mission. We need to go and find a woman to help in the treatment of several injured shinobi. The normal medics can't help them, but she can" he said as he took a bite from an egg.
"I see; but why are you interested in me anyways? You're supposed to be a big shot ninja right, why bother with me?" Naruto asked as he didn't see a connection.
"You got potential kid, I'm bored and I don't see a reason why not to teach you if you want it; I've got another reason, but I'll tell you about it some other time." Jiraiya said as he didn't want a pissed off Naruto for not being there for the kid when he was younger.
"Hmm fair enough, ok I would be a moron if I didn't accept training from a Sannin" Naruto said right before he finished his third bowl.
"Holy shit did you snort it all up your nose or something?" Jiraiya asked as he looked down to his half eaten bowl.
"Heh, what can I say; I like Ramen and Ichiraku's is the best" he grinned "So when do we leave?"
"Actually we can leave today if you want, we probably won't get far though so let's leave in the morning say… nine-ish" Jiraiya said as Naruto nodded.
"Ok kid I'll meet you at the north gate then."
"Ok then, I'll be ready" Naruto then placed some money on the table and left.
"Heh, interesting little egg he is" Jiraiya said to himself before returning to his bowl.
(That night at the Hyuuga home)
(Hinata's dream)
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife! You may of course kiss the bride" A man said as Naruto turned to her and the two kissed passionately."
Of course then the dream went a little Pg-13 before heading to the unrated area; however before Naruto got completely naked…
She woke up
"Damn it" she cursed (Yes she cursed, she was disappointed lol ^-^ she's had innocent dreams until this year)
Finding out she was wet from the dream made her blush a royal red.
"Naruto-kun" she thought to herself happily as she slowly fell asleep again.
She figured she would just make a mess again so why bother clean up until tomorrow
(Hanabi's dream)
"Naruto-kun?" Hanabi asked as Naruto smiled to her.
"I wish to know if Hanabi-san would accompany me out to dinner?" he asked making her blush and nod.
"Hai, I would love to" she said as she held her hand out."
Outside her dream the girl tossed and turned a bit before a big smile came to her face.
"Naruto-kun kissed me…" she said as she blushed in her sleep.
(Hitomi's dream)
Hitomi ran, ran as fast as she could
But she wasn't fast enough as she was caught from behind.
"Do you think your worthless hide can get away?" a dark voice from the past said as she was forced to look her attacker in the eye.
"Hi-Hiashi!" she nearly fainted as he tried to choke her.
"I'll finish you myself!" he said as he tightened his grip.
As she was about to use consciousness she heard another voice.
"Let her go Hiashi!"
As she heard this Hiashi let go of her and growled out in pain as several slash marks appeared on his arms.
Turning her view she saw her hero come and fight off the man before bowing to her.
"I will protect you, Hitomi-sama" he said as he smiled.
"Naruto-kun" she smiled happily as she embraced him.
Outside her dream if one were to enter her room one would see Hitomi with her arms wrapped around a pillow.
…
And was sucking on it
(Natsumi's dream)
"Naruto-san, I thank you most whole-heartedly for tonight" she said as she looked up to the sky as Naruto took her hand.
"Still Naruto-san?" he asked as she blushed.
"No… Naruto… kun" she said red in the face as he smiled and kissed her most inappropriately.
"Mmmmm, Naruto-kun" Natsumi said as she tossed her arms around and snuggled into her bed farther.
(Neji's dream ^_^)
"Ahhhhhh!" Neji screamed as Guy and Lee had gone from green spandex suits to nothing at all; and they liked to do the cancan dance.
"Whhyyyyy…" he muttered into his pillow as he started to cry "Green is goooood… please put it back on…zzz"
Let it be known that the females of the Hyuuga clan were a bit 'attached' to a blond haired boy… and that Neji needed a trip to the Yamanaka clan for his problem.
(Ha lolz… Next morning)
"So kid, you all packed?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto showed up with a backpack on eating a piece of toast.
"Yep" he said as the two started out of the village.
After a few minutes down the road Naruto turned to the older ninja "So who exactly are we looking for?"
Jiraiya grinned "Her name is Tsunade, she's my old teammate and is a master medical ninja; she also has a punch that could send Gamabunta flying" he grinned as Naruto paled lightly.
'Sounds like I don't want to make her mad; why are all women so strong and scary?' he asked himself as he envisioned himself being sent through buildings by a seven foot tall behemoth woman because he had said something about her having big hands.
The next few minutes were kept in silence.
Along the way a couple of bandits came out of the trees. "Ok you two, hand over da goods or we cuts you so bad… you wish no not been cuts so bad." One said as he pulled his sword.
Jiraiya grinned lightly and turned to the blond "So, want to learn an A-ranked ninjutsu known only to a select few?"
Naruto of course could only nod happily as he got closer to the man.
"Ok then, watch it carefully" he ran at the two as swirling orbs formed, one in each hand. "Rasengan!" he called out as he made contact with their chests and fired them through the air spinning like pinwheels.
"…That's pretty cool" Naruto said as his eyes gleamed at the chance to learn such a jutsu.
"It's called the Rasengan; it was invented by the fourth Hokage himself" he told the boy as he watched his eyes go from a light gleam to eyes seen on a child when they wanted something badly.
'Dad…' "Ha-how do you use it?" he asked very curiously "I didn't see any hand signs."
"It has none" Jiraiya explained "It also takes a great deal of chakra to use; the ones I used were small and pretty weak or I would have destroyed most of the area."
"I don't really have any good direct attack jutsu, this'll be most helpful" Naruto said as he waited patiently for more information.
"Ok to start out, make chakra form in a single point in the palm of your hand, from there you can use your other hand to enclose it and let it form a semi ball shape."
He was shocked to the core when Naruto formed an incomplete semi-wild ball on his first try.
Naruto quickly ended his attempt as it grew unstable and nearly went out of control.
"That's pretty hard… any tips on how to stabilize it?" he asked as Jiraiya grinned.
'Kid got past the first stage in one shot; must be due to his wind jutsu, that or he's a freaking genius' he then held his hand out and another Rasengan formed in his hand for Naruto to study.
"Notice how it spins?" he asked as Naruto's eyes lit up like somebody turned a light on in his head.
"I get it!" he said as he tried to complete it again.
Again it nearly blew him up
"Have a little patience kid, it will take some practice before you can wield it very well" Jiraiya said to pacify the boys' frustration.
The rest of the day was spent on Naruto asking questions about the Rasengan and continual attempts on his part.
Near the evening of the second day they were out Naruto had managed to complete a spiral shaped form.
"That's pretty damn impressive kid, you're a natural" Jiraiya said as Naruto smiled.
"It's coming, but it's hard to focus it; I'll need a lot of practice before I can use it like you've been doing it."
"Well, I've got a few years of practice kid, but you should be quite good with it yourself before too long."
Looking up he yawned "well kid, looks like we should get some sleep; we'll be hitting Tanzaku Gai sometime about three or four tomorrow. I've got a source that says if we hurry we might find her there."
"Ok then, I'll be up and ready" Naruto said before throwing a blanket over himself and passing out.
'Tsunade… will you listen to him? It's time to come home' Jiraiya thought as he watched a cloud run by.
(The leaf village a little earlier that day)
"Hitomi-san, welcome; what can I help you with?" Sarutobi asked as he beckoned her to sit down.
Hitomi had set up a meeting with the wizened leader to discuss a certain blond.
"I… was wondering about…" she said slowly before Sarutobi interrupted her.
"Naruto yes?" he asked causing her to nod with a blushed face.
"I… wanted to know if…" she stopped talking as she knew he had gotten the point.
"I believe Naruto has recovered well from the ordeal… yes I think you may speak with him as much as you like" he said as her smile increased dramatically "However" this got her attention "Should Naruto show any kind of problem near your residence, I ask you to help him leave quickly as to not cause him any distress."
"Of course Hokage-sama" she said as she bowed quickly before leaving… nearly leaving.
"He isn't in the village if your wanting to talk at the moment." Sarutobi said as she turned to him. "He's on a mission"; stating this a 'weird' grin came to his face "I need you to be ready for a council meeting involving something important when he returns; he and Jiraiya are bringing someone back with them and I need everyone present when they do."
With a bow Hitomi nodded before leaving happily, never noticing the grin on the old man as he pulled out his little orange book.
(Tanzaku Gai)
"So where do we look first?" Naruto asked as people passed them in both directions.
"Simple, we look for gambling houses" Jiraiya said as Naruto sweat dropped.
"Why?" he asked as Jiraiya sighed.
"She likes to gamble every once in a while" he said as he rolled his eyes.
"Like over there?" Naruto asked pointing to a lottery booth.
"Not exactly, but might as well ask where the houses are over there" Jiraiya said as they made their way over.
"Excuse me ma'am; where would the best places to gamble in this town be?" the older man asked the woman at the booth.
"Ahh, the 'lucky foot,' 'flashing worlds,' and 'credit world' are probably the biggest" the woman explained as Jiraiya pulled out a few coins and placed them on the table for a town map she had for purchase.
"Can you show me where?" he asked as she marked them on the pages.
"Would either of you like to play this here lottery?" she asked with a toothy smile. (except she had one missing)
"Ah, I'm good on that thanks" Jiraiya said with a small grin as he turned to leave.
"I'm not into gambling ma'am sorry" Naruto said as the woman shook her head.
"All profits go to charity to help the orphans of the world." She said as Naruto considered this before quickly pulling out his rather skinny Gama wallet.
"I can play that" Naruto said as he paid for a ticket "Others like how I lived can use all the help they can get."
(Ten minutes later)
"How in the hell does anyone have that kind of luck?" Jiraiya asked himself as Naruto walked beside him with a fat wallet in tow.
"Got lucky I guess" Naruto said as he pocketed the money.
"Why did you give half of it back?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
"I had her put it in for the charity" Naruto said as he cracked his knuckles "If I can't carry it I don't need it that bad."
'Damn, little crazy kid' Jiraiya smiled shaking his head 'either has a heart of gold or a brain of soup.'
"What's say you and a get something to eat" Jiraiya said as he reached over and patted Naruto's stomach relatively roughly "Bet we can pack it in this little guy here hahahaha."
Noticing Naruto wince painfully he stopped "Kid, you ok there?"
"Mmmph… yah I'm good; that snake's sword wound isn't healing very quickly" Naruto said as he grunted slightly "Itachi whacking me there didn't help a lot either."
"It would kill a normal man with just a scratch" Jiraiya said "Taking it point black to the guts should have finished you if not for that healing power you've got. Why don't we ask Tsunade to look it over when we find her?"
"Works" Naruto agreed albeit reluctantly 'I don't have time for injuries like this; even if I don't like doctors.'
"Ok picking a place at random from this tourist list; where do you want to eat?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto went over the list.
"I'm not used to choices because people usually throw me out" Naruto said as Jiraiya winced slightly angrily "How about this place?" Naruto said pointing to a name.
"Ah, the 'Rolling wheel?' ehh works for me kid" Jiraiya said in agreement as he put the map in his shirt. 'Should I tell him it's a grill and bar for adults? Nah don't wanna ruin the surprise' he grinned as Naruto sneezed.
(With Hinata and Hanabi)
"Big sister?" Hanabi knocked on Hinata's door.
She waited for a moment before her older sister opened the door.
"Hanabi-chan?" Hinata asked as Hanabi smiled brightly.
"Want to go for ice cream?" she asked as Hinata blinked a few times before nodding.
"I'll me-meet you ou-outside" she said before reentering her room for a few things.
'He he he, I can ask about Naruto-kun while we go' Hanabi smiled devilishly.
It was all part of her 'ingenius' plan; ice cream with her sister and questions about Naruto; how brilliant she was to think of such a plan.
After waiting a moment or two Hinata came outside in her usual coat and the two left the front gates.
"So sister…?" Hanabi started as Hinata looked to her; "What else do you know about Naruto-kun?" she asked as Hinata's face went red. "You've told me a lot about him; he's very nice, but I want to know more." She used her patented 'puppy eye no jutsu' to seal the deal.
Of course the two had talked quite a bit about him in the last few days; Hinata seemed to get redder with every sentence she spoke, but she talked of many of her fondest memories with the blond.
"He snuck past the teachers watch and put glue in his chair?" Hanabi had to stiffen a giggle at the thought of a younger Naruto gluing a teachers butt to a chair.
"No o-one ever co-could prove he d-did it either" Hinata said as Hanabi couldn't hold it anymore and started giggling.
"What else, I want to know more!" Hanabi asked as Hinata shared more cherished memories with her younger sister.
(Tanzaku Gai)
"Achoo!" Naruto sneezed as they neared the restaurant; it had gotten dark and a chill flew by.
"Some pretty young babe must be thinking of you naked Gaki hahahaha" Jiraiya laughed.
"Ero-super perv" Naruto replied with a very light blush 'I'm not attractive enough for that; probably got chill or something.'
"All right kid, here we are!" Jiraiya said as Naruto looked the place over.
"It's an adult bar…" Naruto stated with a sweat drop "Let's go elsewhere I'm too young."
"My left tit" Jiraiya said "You're a ninja; we don't follow ordinary law in that area. You count in all areas as an adult; old enough to kill old enough to drink, gamble, own property, have sex with many, many young pretty girls…"
"Enough" Naruto said getting the point "I'm not into that stuff."
"Then don't buy booze" Jiraiya stated the obvious "Places like this usually serve good beef flank and Oyakodon" he said as Naruto sighed.
"Well… it's just food, eh let's go eat then" Naruto said as they walked in.
…
…
As they were about to sit down Jiraiya suddenly froze as he saw a familiar face a few booths back.
'Holy shit on a shiny ass log, it's Tsunade!' he closed his mouth 'Damn kid has the luck of a million foxes. I bet he could trip on bat shit and land in gold!'
"Naruto" he said quietly "I spy our target" he said as Naruto lit up "Wow… what are the chances of that?"
'I swear kid could fall off a cliff and land on a pair of boobs' Jiraiya sighed as the two of them walked over to where Tsunade and another female sat.
"So…" he said sitting down and scaring the pants off both women; "How's my favorite teammate doing these days?" he asked.
"The hell? Jiraiya what in blue blazes are you doing here?" Tsunade asked with a slight slur.
It was obvious she had had a few.
"Lo-lord Jiraiya!" the other said as the white haired man chuckled and beckoned Naruto to have a seat.
"It's been a while Shizune" He said as a greeting before he turned back to Tsunade. "So… any big wins recently?"
"Ohh screw you Jiraiya" Tsunade said with a sigh at his jab before pouring him a small glass and refilling her own. "So… how are things in Konoha?"
"Ehh, fine until Orochimaru attacked and destroyed a bunch of shit" Jiraiya said as Shizune's eyes enlarged.
"Is everyone all right Jiraiya-sama?" she asked as the older man nodded.
"For the most part; some people did get hurt like this kid, and we did lose some good men, but the leaf holds strong" he said with a grin.
"Hmmph" Tsunade grumbled before looking to Naruto "Who's this brat?"
"This is my newest protégé of course" Jiraiya said as he patted Naruto on the back "Naruto, meet Tsunade of the Sannin and her protégé Shizune."
With a slight bow Naruto nodded and Shizune nodded back; Tsunade snorted and rolled her eyes "Jiraiya this kid looks like he couldn't fight his way out of a wet rice paper sack;" grinning as Naruto looked pissed for a moment, before returning to his calm demeanor "Not half as good looking as your last one either."
"Well Minato was one of a kind" he said as Naruto looked to the older man in shock.
'He taught dad?' he shook his head then smiled at the thought.
"Well the kid's story aside; Tsunade, the old man wants to talk with you" Jiraiya stated in a serious tone.
"Forget it" Tsunade said as she poured another glass "I'm not going back, I cut my ties long ago; so that old, stupid idiot can go shove those books of yours up his ass."
"Don't talk about the old man like that!" Naruto said as he slammed his hand on the table sending several cracks thought the wood.
'He's pretty strong for his age' Shizune thought as she noticed the small fissures.
"Ha, and what'll you do about it?" Tsunade said grinning "a brat like you can't possibly stop the way I talk about that old pile of-"
"I said stop!" Naruto growled "I don't care who you are, I'll knock that grin off your face and drag you back if I need to."
"Naruto stop you don't-"Jiraiya was cut off by Tsunade.
"Fine brat let's take this outside" she said pointing to the door.
Hunger forgotten every one of the group from the leaf went outside.
"Tsunade-sama please, he's just a boy" Shizune said as Tsunade pushed her out of the way.
"Naruto stop this, your still hurt from the last fight you got in" Jiraiya said as Naruto walked past him.
"I'm not letting this slide; the old man is the only reason I'm still alive." He told the white haired man "I refuse to let this woman insult him like that!"
'Very devoted to you, you old monkey' Jiraiya thought as he watched Naruto's eye light up.
"Fine kid, I'll show you pain you never knew existed" Tsunade said as she smashed her hands together "I'll beat you with one hand."
"Whatever makes you happy" Naruto growled "I plan to fight seriously!"
Shizune ran over to Jiraiya for protection as Tsunade ran at Naruto.
"I'll end this in one shot!" she said as her hand glowed.
'She'd go that far on Naruto!' Jiraiya was worried; normally after seeing Naruto's abilities in action he's put his money on him, but Naruto was still recovering from his older injuries.
"Tsunade stop! He's already injured!" Jiraiya called out in vain.
"Sorantagan Naruto said activating his eyes. Though Shizune saw them and gasped at the change, Tsunade didn't and she jumped in the air to launch a devastating blow.
However Naruto's whole body started to glow and he looked up angrily.
As her fist came into contact with his body she smirked…
And then a bit of fear came to the blonde woman as she noticed Naruto had caught her fist.
'Th-that's impossible!' both Tsunade and Shizune thought as Naruto slammed into her and send the woman flying across the ground.
When she stopped about eighty or so meters from where she had originally been she was a little worse for wear.
'Damn, kid hits like a ton of bricks!' Tsunade thought before growling 'Fine, I'll kick his ass so hard his children will inherit a footprint tattoo!'
"Fine kid you had your shot, not I'll show you mine!" she cried out as she sent chakra to her feet before charging him and landed a direct blow to his stomach.
"AAAAAAghhhhhhhhhh!" Naruto screamed out as he felt his injuries reopen he flew through the air before going through a building.
"No!" Jiraiya ran towards where Naruto had gone while Tsunade grinned as a bit of blood dripped from her mouth.
"How's that brat?" she said before noticing things were a bit hazy.
'Kid hit me so hard I have problems seeing straight' she thought before shaking her head.
Walking over to the rubble she expected to find a knocked out boy; but what she got was a punch from Jiraiya himself as he dug through the rubble.
"Jiraiya what the hell?" she asked before Jiraiya pulled Naruto out and turned to her.
And he was pissed.
"I told you not to fight him!" he said angrily as he balled up his fist.
"Kid'll be fine; I'll heal his damn wounds" Tsunade said rolling her eyes before truly seeing jiraiya's eyes; she hadn't seen such anger in a long time; it caused her to step back.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?" he asked as he turned back to Naruto and began removing his shirt.
"I hit him pretty good, the kid's chakra was dense enough to prevent any major damage" she said before seeing Naruto's chest.
To be honest, it looked more like hamburger meat than a human torso now.
"Ha-how in, what the hell happened?" Tsunade voiced as Shizune turned pale white before running over to help.
"I told you he was hurt!" Jiraiya panicked before doing his best to stop the bleeding "Orochimaru stabbed him during their battle with the snake blade."
"I… I didn't…" Tsunade's phobia of blood had started to kick in.
"Damn it Tsunade wake the hell up now!" Jiraiya yelled "He's your god-damn godson, help him!"
"M-my what! My godson is dead!" Tsunade said as she fought off the fear enough to retort.
"No he didn't die, but he will if you don't help him!" Jiraiya said as both he and Shizune did what they could.
"My… godson…" Tsunade realized how far she had gone overboard "I… hurt… naru-chan?"
"Tsunade!"
"I, I'm coming!" she said before she started healing his injuries.
(Sarutobi)
'That shiver felt bad' Sarutobi thought as he got ready to leave for the night 'it felt like I almost wouldn't be able to complete my mission with Naruto… nah he'll be fine' he thought as he closed his door and left.
(A few minutes later at Tanzaku Gai)
"Is he stable?" Jiraiya asked as Tsunade nodded; finally able to think and breathe.
"Jiraiya what's going on? How is he alive?" she asked as several tears dripped down her face.
"Let's get him to a bed" Jiraiya said "We can talk after that."
Nodding the two Sannin and a chunnin woman lifted Naruto up gently and brought him to a nearby inn.
(Next morning)
"Ohhhhhh… what hit me?" Naruto groaned as his eyes opened.
"Ohh Naruto-san, you're awake" Shizune said as she came over to check on him. "Good I'll go tell Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama" she then left.
'…sorry old man; wasn't strong enough to keep going' Naruto thought sadly as he felt terrible about his loss.
(Other room)
"I… had no idea'' Tsunade said sadly as she lowered her head. "So that's why he was so protective of Sarutobi-sensei."
"Yes… his life hasn't been very good so far" Jiraiya said after his story "Kid feels the need to protect anyone willing to give him a chance."
"To think he managed to do such… damage to Orochimaru" she then sat back amazed that the blond was so strong.
"To be honest, because of your underestimation he probably would have won if he hadn't still been injured" Jiraiya said as Tsunade lowered her head in shame at going so far over something like she had.
"Doesn't look like I'll have a happy reconnection with my godson any time soon" she sighed sadly "Damn alcohol; I really need to tone it down."
"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Naruto-san has awakened" Shizune said as she ran up to them.
"Good, I hoped he would" Jiraiya said as he stood up. "Tsunade, he's going to need help recovering from that blow for a while; any chance you want to come back to the leaf to help on it?" he asked as Tsunade stood up.
"I figure it's the least I can do" she said as she closed her eyes "Oh and… Jiraiya?"
"Hmmm?"
"I didn't win; I used chakra in both of my feet during the fight; kind of made it cheating."
With a smirk Jiraiya and Tsunade went with Shizune over to Naruto.
"How you feel kid?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto shook his head slowly.
"Did you catch the number on that train that hit me?" he said in a sad smile.
"Naruto I… I'm sorry about yesterday" Tsunade said with her head down "It was wrong of me to insult the old man like that; it was also wrong of me to take out my anger like that on you" she kept her head low.
"I… guess maybe I went a little overboard to" Naruto said slowly "I just… had to win that…"
"You did win kid, she cheated" Jiraiya grinned as Tsunade pouted.
"Well fair is fair, I guess I have to go back to the leaf to listen to the old codger… oh and work on you some more." Tsunade said as she sat back up.
"Naruto, I know you've had zero time to recover, but we should head back to the leaf now; so prepare to be carried like a lump of meat" Jiraiya smirked as he grabbed Naruto and slung him over his back.
"Great… I'm a sack of potatoes now" Naruto rolled his eyes as the trio plus one left and returned to the leaf.
(The leaf… foreboding isn't it?)
"Well the gaki seems to be feeling a bit better now" Jiraiya said as they entered the village; leaving a couple gawking chunnin hanging.
"Kid heals pretty damn fast I'll give him that much"
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here" Naruto pouted as the other three laughed.
"Well regardless, I sent a note to the old man; he wants us three in a meeting that's going on right now" Jiraiya grinned as the 'plan' was nearly complete.
"Us two and Naruto?" Tsunade asked as Jiraiya nodded.
'Sarutobi told the populace of Naruto's heritage yesterday; I can't wait for this meeting' the pervert grinned evilly.
"Let's get this over with then; I hate meetings" Naruto sighed.
"Heh, fine with me" Jiraiya said as Tsunade turned to Shizune.
"I'll probably be a while knowing these damn meetings; I'll meet you in the old place we used to go to" she told her protégé as the woman nodded.
"Yes malady" she said as they parted ways.
After a few minutes the trio made it to the meeting tower.
"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama" the guards bowed as the two went in with a Naruto on a back.
(Inside)
"Ahh Tsunade; we've been expecting you three" Sarutobi said as he beckoned them to have a seat"
"Ha, I see it now; holy crap he does look like Minato" Tsume said with a barked laugh.
'Naruto-kun' Hitomi thought; amazed that at who Naruto was truly and that now she could have him as a guest in her home any time she wished.
"It's time for the meat of this meeting" Sarutobi grinned; "Naruto-kun, if you would be so kind as to show the council"
"…Do I have a choice?" Naruto asked no one as he rolled his eyes "Fine…Sorantagan" he said activating his eyes and stunning the entire council.
"I-is that a…" Choza Akimichi asked in alarmed.
"Yes, the Sorantagan is proof of his heritage, it is a Dojutsu only found in a very few members of the old Uzumaki clan" he said with a smile "Not seen in over a hundred years I guess that makes Naruto the last wielder."
"Does that mean he falls under…" Tsume started.
"Yes, Naruto… you are now the proud recipient of… the Clan restoration Act" Sarutobi grinned.
"…What is that?" he asked as several perverts noses bled.
"It means you are to marry at least six women of high standing in order to restart your clan" Sarutobi said as he too had a nosebleed.
"What!" Naruto cried out before Naruto was taken outside by a pair of Anbu.
As the rest of the council (plus Jiraiya and a baffled Tsunade) watched from above; Naruto was placed on the ground.
"What the hell?" Naruto asked no one in particular before a sudden dark chill went up his body.
"Naruto-kun" Sarutobi said in a louder voice so Naruto could hear "Your fangirls await."
"The hell are youuuuuuu…" Naruto looked behind himself to see a lot of fangirls.
And I mean a LOT of fan girls.
"…Ohhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiittttttttt" Naruto squeaked.
"He's mine!" a single fan girl screamed out before they all ran after him.
"…Why me?" he squeaked out before running faster than he had ever run before; while a huge group of fangirls chased him and at least two perverts laughed maniacally.
"I am sooooooo gonna die" Naruto said to no one in particular as he ran through the village…
Picking up even more fan girls.
