-Story begin-

-Early next morning in a secret location-

"Ugh, it feels like I got sat on by Gamabunta" Minato said waking up from his coma, he sat up and tried to figure out where he was. He saw that he was in a bed room and still had his clothes on from his battle with the Kyūbi, he was broken from his thoughts as the door to the room was thrown open and his family came rushing in, they had felt the surge of chakra from him breaking the stasis seal he had on him,

"Daddy/Honey" came five overjoyed voices, his wife and four daughters had him in a family hug that would put the Brady bunch to shame.

"Oh Minato we believed you to be dead, how are you alive" Kushina asked her husband happy to have him back in her life. Minato then told his family what he told Naruto,

"Kushina, girls you have been lied to" he said his face serious, as he went into Hokage mode

"What do you mean daddy" Hikari his eldest asked, she was the spitting image of her mother, with her long red hair flowing down her back and her violet eyes looking at him confused,

"Girls your baby brother is still alive, Danzo was the one to tell you about our deaths and as you can see he was lying, he wanted to use Naruto as his weapon but thanks to the efforts of Sarutobi-sama, that did not happen" Minato told his family. Killer intent was then leaking from his wife and daughters, he was surprised by the levels of K.I coming from his two youngest, the twins Reika and Haruka, they were now both 16 years old and also beautiful girls like their mother and older sisters, the twins looked like their great-great-aunt Mito Uzumaki, however Haruka had red hair and violet eyes like her oldest sister and mother, whereas Reika had blonde hair and blue eyes like himself, the twins had their hair in braided ponytails over opposite shoulders. Hitomi was the second eldest she had blue eyes shaped like her father, her face was heart shaped and her red hair in two pig tails like her godmother Tsunade Senju.

"I knew I smelled something fishy, I'm going to kill that bastard, ttebane" Kushina said her hair separating into nine tails and floating and swaying with a mind of their own.

"Don't worry dear, he'll get what's coming soon enough however we need to get back to konoha, now where are we?" Minato asked his wife,

"We're currently in snow country, it should take us about a month to get back to konoha, Minato how can you be sure that Naruto is alive" Kushina asked still not believing the situation she was in,

"Because Kushina, when I sealed the Kyūbi in Naruto I was also aiming to seal some of my chakra as an imprint to make sure if the seal was ever about to break I could meet him and restore the seal however I think I sealed my soul putting my body into a death-like state, I met him in the seal with the Kyūbi" Minato started as he told his family all about the youngest member, they all were impressed with Naruto's growth however they were outraged with how his life had been

"Kushina as much as he has grown on his own, he needs us, I know in my heart our boy is lonely and needs his family, he puts on this mask of indifference so no one knows how lonely he truly is but he is Kushina, from within the seal I have heard him cry himself to sleep some nights" Minato said tears starting to form in his eyes, he never wanted that life for his son

"Well then what the hell are we waiting for Minato, my baby boy needs his mother ttebane" Kushina said a fire of determination burning in her violet eyes.

"Hell yeah, otōto needs us ttesayo" Hitomi said pumping her fist in the air her sisters agreeing just as fierce. And with that the Namikaze family packed up their things and after Minato eating a meal they locked up the safe house and began their long trek home

-Same time, Konoha-

Naruto woke up and began his normal routine, he would start with some warm up stretches and then 700 laps around his grounds, then he would do 300 sit-ups, push-ups, squats and various other exercise, all the while 200 clones would be focusing on chakra control by balancing kunai on their hands all the while walking up and down trees. After that he and a clone would practice his taijutsu and then his kenjutsu. After that he would then do some stretches to cool-down. Then he would take a shower and then eat breakfast, which would be around 7 o'clock,

Kakashi told his team to meet at 7 however he knew he wasn't going to appear until 10. So he drew a quick sketch of something and then headed out for an errand before meeting his team.

Upon leaving his house and resetting the security seals he headed towards the village center. He found the shop he was looking for soon enough, which was the weapons shop, he walked up to the counter and found a girl his age tending to the shop

"Hello and welcome to our shop, I'm Tenten, how may I help you" she asked, her brown hair done up in two buns, she was wearing a pink Chinese shirt and black shinobi pants and blue sandals, her inquisitive looking brown eyes staring at Naruto's cobalt blue ones.

"Hi there, I was wondering if you can forge a hundred of kunai like this one" he said showing her the sketch. The sketch was of a flat enough kunai, rather than the normal one they normally used, however the handle was round so he can attach the seal tag for the Hiraishin. The blade looked like the normal kunai however two more smaller blades came out at a 20% angle close to the handle and pointed the same way the main blade did. All in all it was a more aggressive and deadlier looking tri-prong kunai. Tenten realized what he was going for with the sketch and shot him a curious glance

"Sure but may I ask why you kneed these custom ones made," she asked.

"I just think it would be badass to have kunai like these, is that a problem" Naruto replied with a raised eyebrow.

"No not at all just curious" Tenten said "Alright we should have them completed in a few days, I just need your name to put on the order"

"Sure it's Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto replied

"Okay then like I said they should be ready in a few days so come by in let's say 6 days" Tenten said

"Sure no problem, alright then I'll see you around Tenten" Naruto said waving as he left the store, not noticing the curious and determined look Tenten gave him as he exited the store.

"I think I need to find out more about that guy" she said to herself.

-Training ground 7 at the bridge: three hours later-

Naruto arrived in time to the bridge where he was to meet his team with a few minutes to spare, however his happy mood was soon spoilt when he Sakura decided to open her mouth as per usual.

"YOUR LATE NARUTO" she screeched, Naruto winced at the volume of her voice.

"Dear kami woman do you ever learn or do you have to read it or be told by your precious Sasuke-kun" Naruto said "I told you yesterday as long as I'm here before sensei I'm early and honestly have you not figured out he won't ever be on time ever unless we're going on something like an s-rank, but alas" he said shrugging at the end

After that silence fell upon the three genin for a few moments before Kakashi decided to show up.

"Good morning my cute little genin" Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Hiya uncle," Naruto said with his grin

"YOU'RE LATE SENSEI" Sakura screeched,

"Hn" was the intelligent response from the Uchiha

"Now, now Sakura, it will do you no good to yell at your sensei like that especially when he can make your life a living hell" Kakashi answered Sakura in a sickly sweet voice which is unusual for a male to do but still he did it anyway, all the while giving her his trademark eye smile "now let's go get our first mission"

Surprisingly Sakura whooped, Sasuke smirked, and if people were paying close attention to Naruto you would see a smile on his face, but no it wasn't a smile of joy well not of joy for getting a mission, oh no Naruto was smiling because of the horrors Sasuke and Sakura were about to witness. The horror of d-ranks

-1 week later-

For the past week Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto were forced to perform d-rank missions, they had to walk dogs, babysit, deliver groceries, sweep yards, pull weeds, the works, all the while Naruto and Kakashi were enjoying a good book, how you ask? Well that's the genius of the shadow clone jutsu.

Naruto was walking back towards the weapon shop to pick up his kunai from Tenten, it was early again and his team mates were no doubt waiting for him and Kakashi, as they still haven't learned, although he does commend their stubbornness.

Walking into the store he was met with the sight of Tenten behind the counter once more

"Hi Naruto come to collect your order right?" Tenten said as Naruto approached the counter

"Yeah, so are they finished" Naruto asked making small talk as Tenten got his order for him

"Yeah they were a challenge to make but me and my dad managed, I'll get them for you now" Tenten said as she walked into the back room to retrieve his order, she came back with a scroll presumably filled with his order

"So how much do I owe you?" Naruto asked getting out his wallet.

"Let's see, well for 200 custom kunai that'll be about 5000ryō." Tenten replied.

"Sure no problem, can I get cleaning supplies as well for swords" Naruto asked, it has been a while since he cleaned his katana and he was out of oil to clean it with.

"Sure it's only about another 100ryō" Tenten said as she took out a cleaning kit and paced it beside the scroll.

Naruto then took out the right amount of money and handed it to her. With his business concluded Naruto than began to exit the store

"Thanks a lot Tenten, I'll see you around" he said as he waved goodbye

"No problem Naruto, come back soon" she said 'shoot I met to find out more about him' she thought to herself.

With that Naruto went home to practice, he still had another hour before Kakashi would arrive. Reaching home after a while Naruto went to the study to get his second kunai holster, he got two more and would normally have them taped to his left leg, he also learned to be able throw with both hands to make the Hiraishin more potent and effective. Summoning a few clones he got out a few vials of his blood he prepared beforehand.

He then got out his custom kunai and went about preparing them, he wrote the seals on the scroll on the handle and then went over then with his blood charged with chakra. When he did that, the seals glowed blue for a second and then stopped. With that much finished he took a few kunai and went outside to test out the jutsu.

Out in the yard behind the house was a big enough training field, it had three training dummies which have telltale signs of abuse. Standing about 90 feet from the dummies Naruto took out one of his custom tri-prong kunai, taking aim he threw the kunai behind the dummies, and immediately felt the pull of the seal, then channeling his chakra he disappeared in a yellow flash and reappeared behind the dummies

"Alright Success" he said jumping in circles, however he then suddenly threw up, why? You ask, because he was hit with a large dose of dizziness from travelling at the speed of light which is pretty disorientating, and after having a big breakfast, let's just say it wasn't pretty.

"Ugh, well I'll just have to get use to that, I wish dad's note explained that" he said wiping his mouth. He then went back inside and cleaned himself up, after that he figured it was about time he went and met up with his team.

-At the bridge-

Here we currently find Sakura and Sasuke as usual waiting for their tardy sensei and teammate, even after a week of this happening you'd think they'd learn by now. Anyway Sasuke was leaning on the railing with Sakura pestering him trying to get him to talk, however that all stopped when they sensed someone approaching, well Sasuke sensed Sakura just happened to turn her head to see what her Sasuke-kun was looking at.

When they looked they saw Naruto approaching with Kakashi, as they got to the bridge Sakura was about to screech as usual but was stopped when Naruto held up a hand

"Enough Sakura, this is going to be happening everyday so get use to it already, a shinobi is neither late or early, a shinobi shows up when he means to show up." Naruto said. Sakura not being allowed to discipline her sensei of all people and her teammate just huffed and turned her head not looking at Naruto anymore,

"Alright now, no more arguing, let's go get a mission" Kakashi said diffusing the situation.

"Hn" grunted the Uchiha as he left his perch and heading towards the Hokage tower,

"Wait up Sasuke-kun" was the ever faithful reply from Sakura.

"Sensei, when you said mission, you meant chore right" Naruto said smiling at his uncle.

"My dear nephew whatever could make you think that" Kakashi said with his eye-smile.

The two then shared a look for a few seconds only to burst out laughing.

"You know sensei if I didn't know better I swear you were enjoying torturing those two" Naruto said still chuckling

"I'm hurt you would think that Naruto" Kakashi said feigning hurt as he chuckled himself. The two then disappeared in a shunshin,

-At the Hokage tower-

The two were still chuckling when they appeared in the missions office either side of Sakura and Sasuke, who both had tick marks on their heads. Today the Hokage was handing out the missions due to shortage of staff, even though he was supposed to be running the village, however Sarutobi liked doing this as it allowed him to get away from the dreaded paperwork.

"Ah team 7, here for another mission I suppose" the elderly Hokage said, looking upon the team before him

"Yes lord Hokage" Kakashi replied

"Any good ones today grandpa" Naruto asked

"Well now let's see" The Hokage said as he started looking through the mission scrolls, not letting anyone tell off his surrogate grandson for calling him grandpa, Naruto more or less grew up with the Sarutobi family, Biwako, Hiruzen's wife was as much a grandmother to the boy as she was to Konohamaru, speaking of Konohamaru the boy idolized Naruto, Hiruzen's son Asuma helped Naruto mastering his wind element, and Naruto called him uncle just as much as he did Kakashi.

"today we have, babysitting the merchant guild leader's children, cleaning the park of rubbish, walking a few of the Inuzuka hounds, tora needs to be retrieved again, and old Mrs. Urashima needs her groceries delivered to her, and finally…"he read out the descriptions of the missions however as he was about to read the last one out he was interrupted by Sasuke

"No, no more of these chores, I am an Uchiha, an elite," A snort from Naruto was heard at this, "I can't be wasting my time doings these meaningless missions when I need to get stronger to kill him" Sasuke continued ignoring Naruto.

"Sasuke, know your place and not disrespect the Hokage" Iruka said, slamming his hands on the table in front of him. "You only just graduated, don't get ahead of yourself," he then went into the ranks of missions and how they operate. However at the end of it Sasuke still demanded a c-rank mission and Sakura backed him up saying how Sasuke was the best and he deserved it.

"Well then, Kakashi what do you say, is your tea ready for a c-rank" the Hokage asked the sensei of team 7.

"I think they could handle it," Kakashi replied.

"Alright then, let's see" The Hokage said looking through the c-rank scrolls, as he read through them he found one that sounded simple enough but his instincts told him there was more to it than what was written. So he skipped that one and continued reading until he spotted one that was right for team 7.

"Alright then I have a mission to protect a merchant as he makes his way to the capital, this mission should only last a week or two," the Hokage said picking up the scroll

"Sounds good, we'll take it" Kakashi said "alright team return home and pack for a long-term mission meet me and the client at the main gate to the village in one hour"

"Roger" Naruto saluted as he disappeared in a whirlpool

"Hn" Sasuke grunted as usual as he headed home with the pinkette following behind him.

"I must say, Naruto has come a long way hasn't he Kakashi" Sarutobi said looking at the spot last occupied by Naruto

"Yes he has, he's exactly like Minato-sensei if it wasn't for the whisker marks I would swear sensei somehow shrunk" Kakashi said chuckling.

"Yes, quite, unfortunately I can tell the boy is still lonely, I can see it in his eyes." Sarutobi said "alright then dismissed Kakashi"

"Sir" Kakashi saluted and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

-With Naruto-

Naruto had finished packing, sealing all his supplies into a large capacity storage seal in a small enough scroll. With that done he decided to get some lunch seeing plenty of time still. Going for something simple he made himself a sandwich.

Finishing the sandwich he cleaned up and exited the house making sure everything was locked and the seals were set. Feeling everything was secure he exited the grounds and sealed the gate and grounds as well, setting the barrier seals and everything.

He then headed to the main gate finding Kakashi and their client awaiting the rest of the team.

"Ah Naruto, there you are, this is our client Asakura Takeshi, Takeshi-san this is Uzumaki Naruto." Kakashi introducing Naruto to the client

"Hello young Naruto, I must thank you for accepting the mission to protect me on my journey" Takeshi said bowing.

"It's no problem Takeshi-san, just my duty as a Konoha shinobi" Naruto said smiling and rubbing the back of his neck. Soon enough Sakura and Sasuke turned up before the deadline. With the team present the mission began and they exited the village signing out as they did, with Naruto saying goodbye to the eternal gate guardians Kotetsu and Izumo.

-Meanwhile in Yu no Kuni [land of Hot Springs]-

After travelling for two days Naruto's family made it to the docks in Yuki no Kuni [Land of Snow], from there they chartered a ship to take them to Yu no Kuni, they tried getting one that would bring them closer to konoha however those ships wouldn't be leaving for a few weeks and the family couldn't wait that long, well Minato could but let's face it he had no say with 5 females to out vote him at every turn.

Anyway the family got off the boat at a harbor village in Yu no Kuni, they didn't get a name as they only stayed long enough to resupply. Leaving the Village boundaries Kushina bit her thumb and went through a series of hand seals and slammed her hand down on the ground

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu" she announced the jutsu, and with that a large cloud of smoke appeared signaling the summoning. From out of the cloud came a horse size wolf, its fur a creamy whitish grey with yellow eyes, a look of shock on its face clear.

"Kushina, my kami we thought you dead especially after Naruto told us what happened" the wolf said finally finding his voice

"Well Balto as you can see I'm very much alive and so are the rest of us, and how did you meet Naruto" Kushina said confused as to how her baby boy was able to talk to the clan summons

"We know of Naruto, because he has signed the contract in fact he was able to summon Fenrir-sama on his first try" Balto said chuckling

"WHAT, but he should only be thirteen he shouldn't have the amount of chakra to be able to summon Fenrir" Kushina said, shocked out her son's ability,

"Looks like the seal worked" Minato said chuckling and proud at his son's accomplishments

"What do you mean Minato" Kushina asked.

"well I designed the seal to slowly convert Kyūbi's chakra and feed it to Naruto's reserves, and it appeared to have worked, however with all that chakra Naruto must work hard to gain any control to effectively use his chakra" Minato replied.

"He has, we witnessed him using the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu most effectively, having at least a hundred clones work on his control daily" Balto said. "Anyway we'll let Naruto tell you all about his training and abilities when you return home, now what is it you summoned me for Kushina" Balto asked

"Oh right, Balto we need you to help find Tsunade we plan on bringing her back with us, we'll be needing her help to take care of some problems we may have once we return." Kushina said remembering her reason for summoning Balto.

"No problem I still remember her scent" Balto said sniffing the air to get a heading

"Mom why are we looking for Tsunade" Hikari asked wondering why they were looking for their cousin.

"Because Hikari, Tsunade and Shizune are the only ones I would trust right now to be able to check Naruto over to make sure he's okay, that and we'll need her when we take on the elders," Kushina answered.

"Oh okay" Hikari said

And with that the surviving Namikazes received their heading from Balto who told them Tsunade was at least in Hi no Kuni [Fire Country] more than likely vacating one of the gambling towns situated around.

'Hang on Naruto, mommy's coming' Kushina thought

-Back with Naruto and Team 7 three days later-

Team 7 had made it to the fire capital with no troubles in three days, they had met a few bandits on the way, but they were easily dealt with save for Sasuke and Sakura freezing in the heat of battle. Naruto had made his first kill however when he defended his teammates in their frozen state. Tough as he was Naruto still was shaken, he threw up after the battle was over when Kakashi finished of the rest of the bandits.

Kakashi then told Naruto what he was told by Minato, as ninja they will eventually have to kill, however as long as he knows that as long as he continues to feel bad about it he is still human. After that fiasco it was smooth sailing from there. Well just as long as no one jinxes it.

"I must thank you again Kakashi-san, you and your team," Takeshi said as they neared the market square of the Capital.

"No problem Asakura-san" Kakashi replied waving is hand "In fact it's been years since I've been to the capital"

Yes the capital of Fire country was a beautiful city. The Palace, where the Daimyo lived, was a tall beautiful building situated in the middle of the city surrounded by a moat of sorts with beautiful detailed bridges [Look up Himeji Castle]. To the east of the castle was the market filled with different stores such as tailor, blacksmiths and an open food market, where a great number of stalls were located. Just south of the castle was the gardens, which were just as breathtaking as the castle, no doubt filled with wildlife such as deer and foxes and different birds. Finally to the east and north was the housing areas, mainly the merchant clans, which was where Takeshi was headed. In the North where they were right now was where the inns and bars were located

"Oh you have been here before Hatake-san" Takeshi asked

"Yes with my squad just after the war actually" Kakashi replied

"Ah, well I hope you enjoy your visit here now as well, may we meet again Squad seven" Takeshi said waving as he walked off toward the housing areas.

"Alright gang let's go find ourselves an inn to stay for the night, then you can go explore" Kakashi said addressing his team. He led them to an inn called Tabi no kyūsoku [Journey's Rest]. However It wasn't simple in design, it was actually a very large beautiful building [Picture the Hinata Inn from Love Hina]

Kakashi walked up to the counter and was met with an average looking male at the check in counter. Kakashi asked for four single rooms for him and his team for the night and was quickly handed over the keys,

"Alright you guys here you go" Kakashi said "Now don't stay out too late, I want us to head off early tomorrow alright"

"Roger Sensei" Naruto said, Sasuke gave a grunt and Sakura nodded her head.

"Alright then off you go and explore the capital, the might be the only chance you get for a while" Kakashi added before heading towards a pub.

Sakura headed straight to the market and surprisingly so did Sasuke, but he headed towards the blacksmiths most likely to check out what weapons they have for sale, while Naruto headed towards the gardens to check them out and to get in some reading.

When he got to the gardens he found a nice area by a pond where a lovely willow tree was situated, so he decided to sit by it while he read. He opened up his Fūinjutsu notebook and read over some of the seals he came up with. One he was working on was to negate Dōjutsu from reading his chakra, more or less it would prevent Sharingan from stealing his jutsu and predict his moves, and it would also allow the Hyūga from zeroing on his tenketsu points.

He was looking over his notes for about thirty minutes when he heard some noises nearby, to him they sounded like sounds of struggle, jumping up onto the branches to get a good look around, Naruto surveyed the area, it took him a few moment till he found the source of the sounds.

He spotted three shinobi dragging a red haired girl through the woods heading south. For a while Naruto could make out the girl cursing her captors stuff like

"Let me go you ass-fuckers, if I get free I will fuck up every last one of you ass-captains seven ways to Sunday" she shouted only to be struck in the back of the knee while another slapped her after. Naruto narrowed his eyes, it was clear these shinobi were up to no good, what's more is they weren't dressed like the seven guardsmen or samurai that protect the capital, nor did they look like konoha ninja, however their behavior already proved they weren't, konoha ninja don't treat POWs like that well not until they are interrogated.

Naruto followed the shinobi to see what they wanted, summoning a clone he gave it a Hiraishin Kunai and had it return back to his room with the key and stick it in the wall in the room. He then began to follow the shinobi and their hostage for a while trying to listen into to their conversation.

The girl began struggling again when one of the shinobi got tired of dealing with her and struck her harder than before, the shinobi then took the girl and threw her over his shoulder however he was slapped over the head by one of the others.

"Careful you idiot, remember Lord Orochimaru want's the Uzumaki girl alive not dead" the leader said.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, another Uzumaki, one of his clan member was still alive. No matter what, he needed to save this girl.

"You know I kinda felt bad when we killed her parents, the mother looked delicious" one of the others

"Yeah I hear ya" the other replied.

If Naruto didn't learn to kill his emotions during missions than he would of more than likely give his position away by leaking killer intent. He decided he needed to act quickly otherwise he would be too far away to use the Hiraishin. He was able to use it now however he found that the kunai had a limit on the distance he could travel, of about 20 miles.

Using his superior speed and stealth Naruto took out the first guy silently, he wasn't as lucky with the leader, when Naruto came up to the leader the leader just happened to turn around and Naruto ended up getting him in the neck. The leader's gurgled yells of course alerted the third shinobi to Naruto's presence, however it didn't matter because all it did was put him on guard. Naruto was quick to hide however, after keeping the element of surprise in his favor.

"Alright you show yourself" the shinobi said, as he put the girl down on the ground. The shinobi then tried getting Naruto to show by throwing kunai and shuriken. "Come on out I know you are there" the guy said throwing a few more kunai. Then there was silence.

Then the shinobi ended jumping back as a kunai landed in front of him

"Ha you missed," he said however he was soon silent as he saw a yellow flash right in front of him. Naruto appeared in front him and then slit his throat killing the last shinobi.

With the battle over Naruto went over to the girl to check her over, noticing that she was ok save for a few bruises she had, looking better at the girl he noticed she was beautiful. She had a nice soft round face with her hair framing it save for one strand falling down the middle of her face. The girl's hair was a nice shade of red, very close to his mothers, however in the setting sun's light her hair looked like a dark shade of reddish pink. Her figure was well developed for someone her age, she looked around 14, she was thin but not too thin, her body showed signs of training, she also looked to be about a small d-cup, but she was still young yet, her attire was a brown tunic with a short skirt with black biker shorts, she also had simple enough black shinobi sandals. Overall she was one of the most attractive girls Naruto has seen.

Naruto wanting to make sure she was alright shook her to get her to awaken.

"Hey, miss wake up" he said as he shook her. It took a few shakes before a groan was made, as the girl slowly woke up

"Ugh my head" she said holding said head

"Yeah that would be from the assholes kidnapping you, are you okay" Naruto said softly looking at her, she then stared back and chocolate brown eyes met sapphire blue. Their eyes interlocked, for what seemed like hours but was only seconds until they both began to blush and turned their gazes elsewhere.

"Yeah I'm fine, thanks for saving me" The girl replied

"No problem I couldn't let them with kidnapping a pretty girl" Naruto said blushing even more when he realized what he said.

"Y-you think I'm pretty" the girl asked looking back towards him

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have said it" Naruto said smiling not unlike his father, making the girl blush redder than her hair

"T-thanks" she said looking away again.

"Um so what's your name, I'm Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto said grinning foxily. The girl gasped and her eyes widened

"Seriously another Uzumaki but your hair's blond there's no fucking way you're an Uzumaki" the girl said

"Well I am, I got my dad's hair but my mother was an Uzumaki, in fact my mother was Kushina Uzumaki, heiress to the clan and also the aka chishio no habanero" Naruto replied, the girls eyes widening even further

"No fucking way, my parents have been looking for her, are you sure, what proof do you have" the girl asked, suddenly blue glowing chains burst from Naruto's back and began to weave left and right

"How's that? My mother was known for her special chakra which I inherited, and if you don't believe that much how about this Kuchiyose no jutsu" Naruto said performing the summoning jutsu, when the smoke cleared Balto was standing in front of the girl. "How about that I got the clan summons, the Wolf clan, Hiya Balto how's it going" Naruto said turning to Balto when talking to him.

"I'm fine Naruto, and I need to tell you that your mother is alive" Balto replied looking at his young charge, Naruto and the girl's eyes widened

"What, you mean she was fucking dead" the girl said

"Well presumed dead, but I believe otherwise and this is proof," Naruto said he then looked to Balto "Balto do you know where she is, and what about my dad is he with her" Naruto asked

"Yes pup, your family is still alive and are on their way home to you as we speak, I was dismissed when they entered Tanzaku Gai, looking for a Senju Tsunade apparently she is a cousin of your mother's" Balto replied " So what did you call me for Naruto"

"Well I need you to find Kakashi and tell him to meet me at the hotel" Naruto replied

"No problem I have his scent already" Balto said running of to find Kakashi.

Tayuya was about to ask more questions but seeing her questioning look Naruto cut her to the chase.

"Alright I'll tell you everything as soon as we get back to my hotel room, but beforehand can you tell me your name" Naruto asked looking at the girl, breaking her out of her trance she was in.

"Oh, well I'm Tayuya, Uzumaki Tayuya" she replied,

"Well then Tayuya, hold on and brace yourself" Naruto said as he grabbed her with one arm,

"Wait what, what are you doin…" she started but didn't finished as they disappeared in a yellow flash"

-Back at the Hotel room-

Naruto and Tayuya, appeared inside his hotel room with flash and almost immediately Tayuya had to barf, running to the window she threw up out the window, when she was finished she turned around and glared at Naruto

"What the fuck Shithead" she shouted.

"Heheh sorry I did warn you though. The jutsu I used tends to have that effect on first time users."

"Well what the fuck kind of jutsu was that" Tayuya asked moving to the bed

"It was an advance Shunshin" Naruto replied, he then looked downcast as he continued "Um listen do you have any other family beside your parents" he asked, Tayuya gained a saddened expression on her face.

"No, I only had my parents, and those fuckers had to kill them" she replied tears flowing while said the last part with a growl

"Well seeing as we're family you should come back with me to Konoha" Naruto said with a warm smile

"Wait really but you barely know me" she said with a shocked look on her face

"So I get to know big whoop, also remember to an Uzumaki nothing is more important than family" Naruto said grinning his foxy grin, which made Tayuya blush

"Yeah I remember, my parents drilled it into my head, that and Fūinjutsu" Tayuya replied with a pout which made her look adorable.

"How far you in fūinjutsu" Naruto asked according to his mother's scroll he was about a level 8 in Uzumaki standards which was about a level 25 in normal standards and there is only ten levels.

"I'm about a level 7, we were starting on the more advance stuff before, well you know" she said looking down. It was then that a knock was heard followed by a voice

"Naruto you in there" Kakashi asked "Your summons said you needed me and sounded like it was urgent"

"Yeah I'm here sensei, the door's opened" Naruto replied

"So what was it you needed me for" Kakashi started to say but stopped when he spotted Tayuya, "Hello and who might you be" Kakashi asked looking towards Tayuya

"Sensei this is Tayuya, I came upon this group of shinobi trying to kidnap her to take to Orochimaru, I remember learning that he used orphans and certain people to conduct experiments, so I knew I need to save her" Naruto answered

"huh, well than good job Naruto, and I guess you want to take her home with us seeing as she has no more family here correct?" Kakashi said eye-smiling, maybe now Naruto would be less lonely now seeing as he had some kin now.

"Yeah, more or less" Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck nervously

"Alright then well as long as this is all the excitement we'll be having for tonight, I'll leave you two to it, just don't stay up to late we need to head back early alright"

"Roger sensei, goodnight" Naruto said waving to his sensei as Kakashi walked out the door

"So where exactly am I supposed to sleep tonight Naruto" Tayuya asked, looking around the room seeing that it was a single room, i.e. one bed.

"You are going to sleeping on the bed, I got a futon in a storage seal so I'll take the floor" Naruto replied

"Oh okay then." She replied surprised by that, "so what level are you in fūinjutsu then" she asked remembering she was going to ask him before Kakashi came in.

"I'm about level eight in Uzumaki standards well according to my mom's scrolls, I've never actually had one to confirm this as I was the only one in the village studying fūinjutsu and Jiraiya of the Sannin was rarely in the village and when he was he couldn't help me seeing as he hadn't experience in the Uzumaki style of fūinjutsu" Naruto replied honestly.

Tayuya's jaw dropped, he was self-taught and was that good.

"So how about we get to know each other after you get cleaned up," Naruto said setting the futon up after unsealing it and some bed sheets and pillows from the scroll, he also unsealed two sets of pajamas one for him and Tayuya handing them to her, he went into the sitting room to wait. Naruto cleaned himself up using a seal he created that used a simple water manipulation to wipe away all sweat and dirt from him then a little wind jutsu and he was dry. He then got into his pajamas.

A little while later Tayuya came out ready for bed herself, she was grateful for the pajamas, although a little big they were surprisingly comfortable.

"So what did you want to know" Tayuya said coming out from the bathroom.

"Well don't you start off with your likes dislikes hobbies and dreams or goals for the future?" Naruto asked

"Okay well, I like music especially playing the flute" she started although she frowned when she said it "however those assholes, broke my flute my mother gave me," she said low but not low enough to not be heard, "I also like fūinjutsu I find it really interesting, and I love reading, I dislike stuck up pricks and I also don't like my hair very much" she added

"Why, I think it's beautiful, it's a really nice shade of red and it has a nice glow in the moonlight" Naruto said honestly, it was true from the moonlight shining in her hair looked like red silk, from the way it shined and glistened. Of course this admission from Naruto made Tayuya turn an adorable shade of red when she blush

"R-really you like my hair" she said playing with a strand of it.

"Of course like I said it's really beautiful in fact I noticed it straight away," Naruto said smiling warmly

"Well I guess I don't hate it anymore" she said with a redder blush on her face, "Umm hobbies was next right, well like I said playing my flute, reading and fūinjutsu, I also like cooking, me and my mom would try out different recipes, so it was something I really enjoyed. Umm dreams for the future, well I guess I'd like to become a seals master, and a good Kunoichi, I also really would like to get married one day with a nice guy and raise a family" she said with a blush as she mentioned her biggest dream of having a family someday

"Well Tayuya, I'll help you along the way" he said again smiling warmly, a nice true smile.

"So how about you" she asked looking at the blonde

"Well I like fūinjutsu and kenjutsu, reading, gardening, training and the occasional prank. I also like the occasional treat of Ramen at my favorite restaurant Ichiraku's. I dislike arrogant and stuck up pricks, and those that blame others for reasons beyond their control. My hobbies include pranking, reading, gardening and creating new seals. And my dream is to one day become Hokage to protect those precious to me, and surpass the previous Hokage, and also make my family proud, I also want to settle down with a nice girl and raise a family together to rebuild the Uzumaki Clan" Naruto said smiling when mentioning his hobbies and likes, he also had a faraway look when mention his dreams.

Tayuya blushed again when he mentioned his dreams, now she wouldn't mention this out loud right now cause she was getting to know him, but she was falling for Naruto and hard, it started by the fact that he went out of his way to save her, he didn't know and couldn't be sure she was an Uzumaki and could've left her to her fate however he saved her so that gained him her thanks and admiration, the next thing was the way he was treating her, not like a victim, he was being careful of course but he was treating her like walking around egg shells. She hated when people did that, yes she lost her parents and he was considerate, didn't mean she wanted him to treat her like a fucking china doll, which he wasn't, which was a huge plus. And lastly, he likes her hair, sure he's an Uzumaki but he said his family was previously known to be dead so he didn't grow up with his mother so he only saw her in picture so Tayuya can't attribute his like of her hair to that, but still it was something was teased about by kids here, she had come to hate her hair, however now she was beginning to think different thanks to Naruto. He was also genuinely kind and caring, it also didn't hurt that he was cute and good looking.

"Okay lets pick this back up in the morning, okay Tayuya. I think we should be getting to sleep now if we're going to be waking up early" Naruto said looking at the clock they had in the room

"Yeah good idea Naruto" she said. With that the two teens headed to their beds and quickly fell asleep, Tayuya fell asleep almost instantly due to her ordeal today and from simple fatigue. As they fell asleep, their dreams focused on one another.

-The next morning-

Naruto and Tayuya had gotten up early enough, got themselves ready and headed out to meet up with Naruto's team. When they arrived Sakura and Sasuke threw her questioning glances

"Who's she" Sakura asked

"This is Tayuya, I saved her from being kidnapped last night" Naruto said

"Oh okay then, you better stay away from my Sasuke-kun" Sakura said pointing and Tayuya, Naruto rolled his eyes and her predictable behavior. Sasuke just hn'ed.

"Relax pinky, I'm not interested in him" she said, she then threw an admiring glance towards Naruto, which Kakashi picked up on,

Sakura was about to retort however Kakashi cut her to the chase,

"Alright team let's start heading back home now, Tayuya do you have shinobi training" Kakashi asked

"Yeah my parents taught me enough to survive dad said I was about mid to high genin level." Tayuya replied.

"Alright then that will make things easier" Kakashi said, he then told them they'll be setting a quick enough pace seeing as Tayuya wasn't a plain civilian.

Jumping through the trees they made their way home to konoha. The rest of team 7 however never missed the interactions between the two Uzumaki. When they stopped for the night as Naruto and Tayuya talked nobody missed the blushes they both sported when they would look at each other as they talked. It was surprising for Sakura and Sasuke as Naruto was acting sociable for once. But then again they never realized they themselves were the problem for that, Naruto at least acted sociable in the academy with Shikamaru and Chōji as well as Kiba.

As they resumed the next day, the other two members of team 7 still couldn't get over the interactions between Tayuya and Naruto, they also couldn't believe the fact that Naruto found another Uzumaki. Continuing the pace from yesterday the team made it back to konoha before nightfall. They met with Izumo and Kotetsu who greeted them as usual as team 7 signed in. from there the group continued to the Hokage's office

"Hello team 7, mission accomplished I assume" he asked looking at Kakashi

"Yes lord Hokage" Kakashi said he then gave the mission report which more or less summarized what happened.

"And who is this young lady then" Sarutobi asked looking at Tayuya who shrunk into herself under the gaze of the professor.

"Umm Tayuya Uzumaki sir" she answered getting a surprised look on his face

"Oh and do tell how you came across team 7, Tayuya" Sarutobi asked. Tayuya then told how her family had been looking for the clan heiress Kushina but settled in the capital, and then she told how these shinobi murdered her parents and kidnapped her to take to Orochimaru. Then she told him how Naruto rescued her. All the while both red-head and blond kept glancing at each other and blushing.

"Like father like son" Sarutobi muttered "And what would you like to do now you are here in konoha" Sarutobi asked

"If it's possible I'd like to be a Kunoichi lord Hokage, I already have training from my parents" Tayuya replied.

"Alright well I would need you to perform a test to see if you are capable, Kakashi if you wouldn't mind doing the test three days from now?" Sarutobi asked turning towards Kakashi.

"Of course Lord Hokage" Kakashi answered

"Good now I believe that will be all tonight Team 7, you have the next week off from missions as per usual upon complete any mission higher than a C-rank," Sarutobi said, "Team 7 you are dismissed"

"Lord Hokage" team 7 saluted Kakashi disappeared in his usual leaf Shunshin. Sasuke and Sakura left via a door. Naruto waved goodbye to his surrogate grandfather as he grabbed on to Tayuya's shoulder and both disappeared in a whirlpool...

-With Naruto and Tayuya-

"Huh no nausea" Tayuya said when they appeared outside Naruto's compound

"Yeah I used a different jutsu, just a normal Shunshin" Naruto said "Umm Tayuya before we go in I just wanna tell you something important" Naruto said getting more nervous by the minute

"What is it Naruto" Tayuya asked wondering why her fellow clansman was getting nervous

"Well do you know what happened when the Kyūbi attacked 14 years ago" Naruto asked

"Yeah the fourth hokage sacrificed to kill it as they say but something like to Kyūbi is too powerful to simply kill so what did happen to it" Tayuya said

"Well he sealed it into me, I'm the Kyūbi's jinchūriki" Naruto said hanging his head

"So you're a jinchūriki am I supposed to act different around you now" Tayuya asked looking at him with a confused look

"I dunno, I was kinda afraid you wouldn't want to be around me anymore or something" Naruto replied

"Well that's just stupid, remember Naruto we're both Uzumaki so we know the basics of Fūinjutsu so we should both know that a scroll with a kunai in it is still just a scroll and the kunai is still just a kunai right" Tayuya said, she was then taken by surprise when Naruto hugged her

"Thank you" he whispered,

"No problem Naruto, we're family now and family sticks together right" Tayuya said smiling warmly, Naruto nodded his head wiping the tears from his eyes, he was really afraid she wouldn't accept him.

"Alright let's head inside now" Naruto said unlocking the gate

"Wow so is this your place yeah" Tayuya asked

"Yeah it's my parents' house, it's pretty big seeing as it has enough room to fit me and my four older sisters" Naruto replied

"Wait you have Four older sisters" Tayuya asked

"yeah, presumed dead remember" Naruto said smirking "but yeah even still it's got a number of guest rooms, four I think last time I checked"

"Cool, umm are the lights supposed to be on" Tayuya asked pointing towards the house, when Naruto looked he could see that the lights were on in the kitchen and living room of the house

With that Naruto ran to the door and went to opened it to find it was opened walking into the hallway he found a red-headed woman walking out of the kitchen, he recognized her as his mother Kushina Uzumaki,

"Mom?" Naruto said in a daze not sure if this was a dream or not, the woman hearing him turned around and looked at him

"Naruto?" she asked, Naruto nodded his head.

"Mom?" he asked, Kushina nodded her head this time, she was then tackled with a hug from Naruto, having seeing it coming Kushina braced herself "you're actually here" he cried out

"Of course I am, my precious little boy and I promise I'll never leave again" Kushina cried herself holding her baby boy for the first time since that night 14 years ago,

"I've wanted to meet you for so long mom, ttebayo" he said not realizing he let his verbal tic slip. Naruto while hugging by his mother broke down, all the walls he put up to hide his sadness and loneliness coming down, he cried and cried, tears he though dried up years ago

"Ttebayo huh, you really are my baby boy" Kushina said hearing his verbal tic, hearing her baby boy breakdown was hurting her, but now she was here and kami help those who continued to harm her baby boy. She began to sooth her son by tracing small circles on his back while making shush noises. Eventually from the emotional flood Naruto fell asleep from mental, emotional and physical fatigue.

Hearing sniffing noises, Kushina looked up to find Tayuya wiping tears from her eyes.

"Hello and who might you be" she asked Tayuya who looked up

"I'm a friend of Naruto's, my name is Tayuya, lady Kushina," Tayuya said looking down at her feet in nervousness

"No need to call me lady, Tayuya, now come on let's go into the sitting room and you can introduce yourself young Uzumaki" Kushina replied lifting Naruto up, Tayuya's eyes widened and was about to ask how she knew when Kushina bet her to the chase "You don't think I wouldn't know family when I see it, your hair gives you away, it's the same shade as most Uzumakis so I knew straight away" she said as they made their way into the sitting room.

When they entered the sitting room, the found the four Uzumaki girls watching TV, while Minato was reading a book. When Kushina entered they all looked up to find her with Naruto in her arms, Minato sent his wife a questioning glance

"He was tired from today and to find that we were back drained him mentally" Kushina answered, Minato nodded his head

"And who is the young lady beside you" Minato asked

"Oh this is Tayuya" Kushina said sitting down and lying Naruto down beside her with his head on her lap while she stroked his hair softly.

Meanwhile Naruto's sisters were finding it hard not to take him from their mother and hug the living crap out of him like a teddy bear

"Oh my god he's so cute, like a mini-dad" Hikari said, trying not to squeal like a fangirl.

"I know and those whiskers of his makes him look like a fox" Hitomi said failing to resist the urge to squeal.

"Alright Tayuya, if you don't mind telling us about yourself" Minato said giving Tayuya a warm smile.

"Well…" she then began to go into detail how she and Naruto met all the while blushing at what Naruto said to her. Kushina and Minato smiled at how their son has met someone just as special in life.

It was when Tayuya finished her story that Naruto woke up, he was surprised at where he was at first but then realized where he was and more importantly who was there with him, then in a soft voice he said

"So it wasn't a dream, you guys are really here" he said, with his family smiling warmly and nodded. Naruto just chuckled joyfully while a few tears of joy fell he then felt arms wrap around him bringing him into a hug,

"And we're not going anywhere Naruto, believe it" Kushina said with a warm smile on her face. Naruto hugged her back

"Thanks mom," he replied.

"So how is my baby boy doing in the shinobi business" Kushina asked.

"Well we finished our first c-rank mission today," Naruto said grinning in a vulpine like fashion.

His family had wide eyes at that,

"What but you're only fresh out of the academy right" Hikari his eldest sister said.

"well yeah, but my teammates were getting tired of d-ranks and Kakashi said we were ready for an easy c-rank, all we had to do was escort this merchant to the capital, the most we had to deal with was bandits" Naruto said easing their worries a bit and chuckling sheepishly when he mentioned the last part,

"So how is your training going son" Minato asked

"It's going great, I'm finally able to do the Hiraishin" Naruto said with a beaming smile making his mother and sisters gasp, and his father to smile full of pride at his son

"Naruto you learned the Hiraishin at your age?" Kushina asked her son

"Yeah, while I was learning seals I picked them up quick enough, it also helped having a few shadow clones help" he said with a smirk at the last part. "The theory behind the Hiraishin was easy enough to grasp, and dad was detailed in his notes, but I couldn't get it to work with the kunai dad left, when we met in the mindscape he told me it was because they're keyed to his chakra and blood only so I had to make the kunai from scratch" he said showing them his own kunai,

"What about the Rasengan? Did you learn that jutsu yet" Kushina asked, her boy was unbelievably talented.

"It took me a week to learn it, Ero-Sennin wasn't much help though and he was supposed to be the one teaching me the technique" Naruto said crossing his arms in frustration remembering when Jiraiya was helping him in his training. Jiraiya had made good on his promise to take care of Naruto if anything was to happen to Minato or Kushina, he was named godfather to Naruto after all, he would help Naruto with his training anytime he was in the village, he would normally stay for a few weeks until he had to leave again to take care of his spy network. Of course he still took time out to do 'research' and Naruto caught him in the act one day and Jiraiya was then christened Ero-Sennin much to his annoyance and Sarutobi's amusement.

"Who is Ero-sennin Naruto?" Minato asked his son

"oh sorry, Ero-sennin is Jiraiya-sensei dad" Naruto said grinning, Minato looked shocked at this but Kushina and Naruto's sisters all started giggling at Naruto's nickname for Jiraiya

"Ah so sensei helped you, I'm also guessing you know his hobby then" Minato said smiling at first glad that his sensei did take care of Naruto in their absence, however he sighed at the last part

"Of course the stupid pervert was peeping on the hot springs every time he took me training" Naruto said glaring at the window where he imagined Jiraiya to be

"Naruto how are you getting along with your taijutsu and kenjutsu" Kushina asked her son

"Well I'm doing good, I'm learning dad's taijutsu as I feel more comfortable with it but I'm doing good with the kenjutsu scrolls left here, although Hayate-sensei is busy most of the time so I don't have someone to train me often" Naruto explained

"Not to worry little brother your sisters are here, and we can help you train in your kenjutsu, not to mention mom is the best around" Hikari said pumping her fist.

"Thanks big sis" Naruto smiled at his oldest sister

"Don't forget son I'm here now to help with your taijutsu, your sisters are more fluent with your mother's style so seeing as I came up with the style I'll be able to help your progress with it. And with the Rasengan did you complete it?" Minato asked

"No not yet it's hard to get my wind element to work with it," Naruto said looking a bit disappointed

"Cheer up son we can work on that together," Minato said ruffling his son's hair.

"Umm does anyone know you here I mean I think something like The Yondaime and his family returning would be something that they would be shouting right about now" Naruto asked with a questioning look on his face

"No we snuck in, myself and your father are going to go have a word with Sarutobi and the council tomorrow however, now Naruto, Tayuya would you two like something to eat" Kushina said

"No thanks mom we had something to eat on our way back, now we're just tired from travelling" Naruto said

"Yeah I wanna hit the hay right about now" Tayuya said

"Yes it is getting rather late isn't it" Minato replied "Alright then we'll see you two in the morning then,"

Naruto and Tayuya said their goodnights and headed upstairs. Naruto showed Tayuya to one of the guest rooms that was right beside his. Inside was a nice queen size bed with nice comfy sheets and pillows, getting into the pajamas Naruto gave her she snuggled into the bed and fell asleep instantly, again dreaming about her new life with a certain blonde and now his family was included, Naruto too also dreamed about how life would be now.

Downstairs however was a different story. The rest of the Uzumaki were planning their next moves.

"Alright so what's the plan Minato" Kushina asked her husband

"It's rather simple, we go to Sarutobi and bring the elders up on charges, the directly interfered with clan business, which is correct seeing as we are the Uzumaki clan. Because of that we have the right to demand that old one eyed son of a bitch's head on a fucking pike" Minato replied his eyes glowing eerily.

"Damn straight that fossil is getting what's coming ttebane" Kushina said "and with the help of Tsunade it should be easy enough."

"But of course" Minato replied. "

"Minato do you plan on taking back the hat?" Kushina asked, the hat referring to the position of Hokage.

"I'm not too sure Kushina, especially after how they treated Naruto and you and our daughters" Minato said a scowl finding its way onto his face.

"I know Minato, I know." Kushina said hugging her husband.

"I must say, Naruto and Tayuya remind me a lot of us don't they Minato" she said smiling warmly

"Yes our story and theirs are similar aren't they," Minato replied chuckling

"Ufufufu, little brother looks completely smitten" Hitomi said giggling behind the sleeve of her jacket, much like a certain red-headed sekirei.

"I still can't believe how much our little brother has grown I mean I can't even perform the Hiraishin" Hikari said

"That's because sis you have a short attention span…" Reika said

"And are quick to anger like mom, so every time you made a mistake…" Haruka continued

"You'd get pissed off" Reika finished

"Humph. What about you two, what's your excuse?" Hikari said pouting at her younger sisters

"Well considering the fact that dad's notes where here…" Reika started

"And we didn't have any kunai with us…" Haruka continued

"And we were focusing more on ninjutsu and kenjutsu…" Reika added

"We weren't interested" Haruka finished

"Now, now girls, let's not fight over who accomplished what, now that we are finally all together Naruto and your father will be able to help you girls with the jutsu, not to mention we'll help each other out in all our training aspects." Kushina scolded her daughters.

"Yes mom" came the reply from the girls.

"Hey daddy do you think Naruto and his team will be competing in the chuunin exams soon" Hikari asked

"I don't know. I know that Naruto himself shows the qualities a chuunin should but I'm not sure about his team, any way I think it's time we turn in for the night we'll find out more tomorrow" Minato said

With that the family did indeed retire for the night. The parents were looking back on the events of the day as they got ready for bed. They were overjoyed they had their long lost child back with them. Minato shared with his wife as they traveled some of the things he managed to see while he was in the seal. Of course Kushina was fuming with rage at the injustice done to her son but she was also sad to here that her baby was alone for most of his life, yes he did have his surrogate family with the Sarutobi family and his godfather, but the fact remained that Naruto lived alone for most of his life. However they knew he had a friend in Tayuya now, and knowing the looks the two were sending each other, maybe something more. Of course there was also the boys form the academy, Shikamaru, Chōji and Kiba, however they only ever really hung out during detention. But the two parents made a promise to not let their son be alone ever again. And with that the patriarch and matriarch of the Uzumaki clan went to sleep to prepare for a very eventful day tomorrow.

Another thing they realized was that their son saved a life from slavery today. If Naruto hadn't saved Tayuya, she would have been left to a life of experimentation, mind manipulation hell, Tayuya would never remember anything other than hating and serving Orochimaru, she would have a disgusting vile seal placed on her that would forever change her whole person. She would no longer be a kind girl who cares for her friends and family but a brash overbearing evil foul-mouthed little bitch that would have eventually been killed. However that will never happen thanks to an old man who trusted his instincts in giving a group of genin an easier job.

That's right in another reality or dimension or parallel universe, the Hokage would have assigned team 7 to bodyguard detail to one Tazuna, bridge builder of Wave country. However he didn't, no instead he investigated the case and found out that the bridge builder had lied about the mission parameters and it was actually an A-rank mission. Sarutobi almost kicked Tazuna out however after hearing Tazuna's story he arranged an IOU, and got a team of skilled Jōnin to carry out an A-rank assassination mission instead. This resulted in wave being liberated when Gatō was taken out alongside his forces after the team had to deal with one Zabuza Momochi and his student one Haku Yuki. Of course wave slowly reclaimed their hope and the bridge was built, and the people of wave claimed ownership of Gatō's property and business and brokered a deal with konoha. However they didn't get a hero this time around and the bridge was simply called Aratana kibō no hashi [Bridge of New Hope]

This mission only took two weeks whereas if it was team 7 to take said mission it would have taken them a month a 1 week to complete, leaving the team little time to prepare for the chuunin exams. And that ladies and gentlemen is the chaos theory or butterfly effect. Even the smallest of ripples can cause large waves.

-Story end-

And done. Sorry it took so long but there were parts I went back over and redid because I wasn't satisfied with them. But hopefully the chapter is good.

Now about introducing Tayuya this early, I had planned on them meeting during the chuunin exams and instead of Sasuke rescuing Karin, Naruto was going to rescue Tayuya and Karin was going to be Karin of the north gate. But remember the best of plans never survive first engagement, and although this isn't a battle plan it's no different. When I planned the mission for the c-rank I came up with whats there and as you can see it was an easy enough c-rank however we all know team 7 never really got easy enough missions so I wanted something to liven up the mission for Naruto and thus the rescuing of Tayuya. Now I know she hasn't cursed much but the story is still young she will still be the Tayuya we know but like in new dimensions because she hasn't been taken by Orochimaru she's going to be a lot nicer, well to her friends anyway.

Now I was thinking should I have it where Tayuya replaces Sakura on team 7. If she does keep in mind that I don't plan on anyone but Sasuke getting the curse seal. I hate it when others have it where Naruto gets or the person he loves gets along with Sasuke. However one interesting story was where Sakura got it instead. So yeah that's that.

And yes most of Hitomi's behavior in this will be like Matsu from sekirei. Hikari is going to be the same as in new dimension. And yes the twins will probably be finishing off each other's sentences. It's something they do to annoy the fuck out of people

Alright that's it for now
