Hey people. I'm back. Well here is the long awaited chapter two of maelstrom of the bloody blade.
(7 years after the Kyuubi attack)
It was a cold night inside Konohagakure no Sato. The guards were sleeping at their respective post. The village was quiet, as it was asleep. Everyone was asleep except the Hokage who was busy concocting a most sinister plot with his village elders and an old war hawk that would possibly lead to the leaf village's eventual destruction. Wait. What?
"So what's the plan to bring the Jinchuuriki to his knees Hokage-sama?" Homura asked adjusting his glasses. "How are we going to get to him when he's under Kushina's protection?"
"How do you suppose we do that Sarutobi-sama?" Asked Koharu.
"It's simple really. We just have to kill Kushina. Then there will be nobody protecting the boy."
"But what of the girl?" Asked the old war hawk. "Will she get in the way of our plans?"
"The girl is of little importance. The boy on the other hand has already awakened the Chishiomyaku."
"WHAT?" his fellow room occupants shouted. "How is that even possible Sarutobi?" Koharu shouted.
"Apparently it has something to do with the kyuubi. There's a Jinchuuriki in Suna who controls sand by sheer instinct. Given time he could become a threat to even his own village as well as ours. Kumo has two Jinchuuriki's of their own. One of which can control hellfire the other can transform into the eight tailed ox. Our power grows week since all three sannin are MIA or rogue. The only thing we have to defend us from other Jinchuuriki is the root anbu and our normal shinobi forces. We need another ace in the hole. That's where our Jinchuuriki comes in. I am currently playing the role of the caring grandfather that I've spent years perfecting. Kushina doesn't suspect a thing."
"What of Itachi?" Homura asked "He will be suspicious of our plans. He is extremely loyal to his sensei. Won't he attempt to kill us once he figures out we killed Kushina? We are not all as spry as we used to be Sarutobi."
Before Sarutobi answered Danzo beat him to the punch. "I've got that covered. I had my root forces do some digging. It turns out that the Uchiha clan, are planning a Coup de tat. We simply have to have Itachi assassinate the whole clan in a matter of days. Knowing him he will find a way to preserve his families honor and we declare him a nuke-nin. He will most likely miss one purposely or not then all we have to do is feed his or her ego. Then when he or she is old enough we use him or her as breeding stock to raise an Uchiha clan that is loyal to the leaf."
"There you go Homura no baka." Koharu stated. (Homura was the dead last if you think about it. I know Sarutobi was not the dead last and all the team seven's have the shinobi of the year, kunoichi of the year and dobe of the year. Jiraiya was the dead last followed by Obito and then Naruto. Sarutobi Is called the PROFESSOR so that leads me to believe that Koharu was kunoichi of the year and Homura was the dead last. He's just smarter than when he was a kid.)
"Now we just have to figure out what to do with Anko and Kurenai. Sarutobi pondered for a good minute before reaching a conclusion for one of their problems. "I know how we can handle one of them. We simply tell Anko that Naruto killed both of them after the fox took over his body." (Anko isn't evil. Neither is Kurenai.) "Kakashi despises that creature and his two whores so he will kill them voluntarily."
"That still leaves Kurenai-san." Koharu said deflating the plan, or so it seems. "Tell me Sarutobi when is your son due back from his time in the fire guard."
"What are you getting at Koharu-Chan?"
"We could use him to lure away Kurenai. Make her feel love. Her love life will destract her. Have him pull the nervous guy routine that you Sarutobi's are famous for."
"Oh you mean the one I used to get in bed with you when we were younger?" He asked in a deadpan voice.
"That's the one… needle dick."
"That's not what you said as I made you scream my name over and over aga-" Koharu quickly clamped her hand over the old monkey's mouth. (This would be the horror and humor aspect of the fic.)
"We don't need to get into that Sarutobi-sama. We need to get back to planning. Do you think Asuma will do it?"
"I highly doubt that Kurenai-chan will even give him a chance Koharu-chan. She isn't known as the ice queen for nothing you know. Hm maybe we can send her on a long term mission." Sarutobi said scratching his beard.
Homura being the voice of reason spoke up. "Maybe we should send Yuuhi-san and Mitarashi-san on an extended mission. Kirigakure's rebel forces are looking for allies. Why not send a squad and count them into the squad."
"Hm sounds good. We can't have Jinchuuriki ruling the elemental nations. They are meant to be tools to be used by their master's."
"So we're all agreed then. Now we just need to find a way to control the boy." Before Homura could continue his train of thought Sarutobi interrupted.
"I already have that covered Homura." Sarutobi reached into his desk to pull out what looked like two black chokers with seals on them. "With these slave seals those brats will have no choice but to bend to my will."
"How will you get them to wear them Hokage-sama?" The old crone asked.
"Simple, I just have to play the role of the caring grandfather a while longer. Just long enough to disguise these as presents. See these have a seal that can transform them into something else entirely for a short period of time. All I have to do is disguise it as a necklace and then present them as presents." Koharu and Homura voiced their approval to the plan. Danzo however was still contemplating their strategy.
"Hokage-sama, how are we going to get rid of their mother? She is on par with the blonde brat that took it upon himself to become the Yondaime."
"That problem is easily solved. We just need to pile mission after mission on her. She will die eventually from either exhaustion or the assassin's that we send her way, meeting adjourned." The old Hokage watched as his advisors left to go back home, or in Danzo's case go back to his root base. Not knowing that they would unleash on the elemental nations, and possibly the world."
(A week later)
A shrill cry rang out through the house of Uzumaki Kushina and her children Naruto and Natsuki Uzumaki. Half an hour later Kushina stomped into the living room with a scowl on her face. Her normally beautiful gray eyes were red rimmed indicating that she had been crying. Her normally well kept red hair was in disarray.
"Which one of you brats took all my ramen?" She wailed breaking in another round of hysterics.
Naruto looked at Natsuki. This was a normal part of the day. Kushina would wake up, make her favorite salt flavored ramen and then leave to get a glass of Jasmine tea only to discover that her ramen was gone. She would cry and then demand her ramen. Naruto or Natsuki would calm her down and point out the ramen on the counter where she left it when she got the tea. She would cheer up and devour the slightly cold ramen in thirty five seconds flat. Her children found her morning habits highly amusing.
"Alright guys it's time to start training!" Kushina shouted out excitedly. Naruto and Natsuki both sweat dropped at her mood swings. "Alright guys time to start your training!"
(Fifteen minutes later)
The three Uzumaki's arrived at a secluded training ground just outside of Konoha. Naruto and Natsuki looked around the training ground in wonder. It was beautiful; it was a grassy plain with sparkling diamonds surrounding it making it the shape of a bowl. There was a lake in the center with trees at the center of thee lake.
"Alright guys let's start training!" Kushina shouted excitedly. "Start running around the training ground until I say stop." Naruto and Natsuki started to complain about it being too big. Kushina silenced them with a sharp kunai tossed between them. "No complaining, we need to strengthen your hearts otherwise when you use our bloodline it will explode within five minutes. Normally we wouldn't start this early I admit." She paused and inhaled some more oxygen. "But Naruto activated the Chishiomyaku earlier than average which means that you will activate it soon Natsuki. Uzumaki twins are never far apart in development. Now get to work!"
Not a second after the words left her mouth they were already gone. "Be strong my children, you are going to need each other down the road."
(1 hour later 10:00 AM)
"Alright guys time to stop running!" Not a second after the words left her lips did the twins fall over on their backs in exhaustion.
"Naruto-Niisan?"
"Yes imouto-chan?"
"I think Kaa-chan is crazy."
"I know Natsuki-chan I know."
A shadow suddenly descended upon them. They turned around to see a furious Kushina staring at them. "What was that gaki's?" She asked in a sweet voice.
"N-nothing Kaa-chan." They said at the same time.
"That's what I thought you said. Now I want you two to take your clothes off and put on the swim trunks I told you yesterday. Now we are going to work on swimming to build up your endurance then water walking to work on your chakra control." They quickly got into swim suits and started swimming like their lives depended on it, which in their case it probably did.
(An hour later)
They finally stopped after an hour. "Alright guys time to stop swimming and time to start water walking." Kushina shouted out in a commanding voice.
Naruto and Natsuki slowly swam to the island in the center of the lake. As soon as they reached land they collapsed from exhaustion. Their breath was labored and ragged. After they finally managed to stand up Kushina who had ran to the island using the water walking exercise.
"You guys tired already? Well that's too bad. Now get started on the next exercise."
"U-um Kaa-chan," Naruto stammered. "We don't know the water walking exercise. We don't even know the tree climbing exercise yet."
Kushina put her hand on her chin and pondered this a minute, she then scratched the back of her head and smiled sheepishly. "I-uh yeah." She then settled into a pouting face for a full five minutes. "I got it!" She declared punching her hand. "You two will start the tree climbing exercise. Channel your chakra into your feet to stick to the tree then run up the tree. When you reach the top you will do it ten more times. Then we will start on water walking. Oh I forgot to mention you have until an hour is up. If you don't do it in time then we won't train in our kekkei genkai. Now get to work.
Sorry to cut this short but I don't want to write the whole training. Next chapter I'm skipping to when it gets good.
