Hey guys! So here's the quick update you all have been yearning for. So with nothing else to explain, let's get on with the twelfth chapter-
Ch-12-Reunion!
Timeskip: Two Days: Konoha's General Hospital: Naruto's Room
Slowly coming to consciousness, Naruto tried to open his eyes but the immediate exposure to light made him close his eyes shut. He could feel someone besides him, but the light sounds of snoring told him that he/she was asleep. Giving a grunt, he opened his eyes slowly while he could feel the one beside him also stir before a loud feminine shout of excitement came from her.
"NARUTO-KUN!"
Immediately he felt his face in something soft, and the scent was heavenly too with a mix of sweat. Hmm, seems his senses were alright. Upon his natural instinct, he grabbed whatever his face buried in, taking a feel of it before he heard a soft moan. Freezing on the spot, his mind went haywire with the possibilities.
'Wait! This...round...curvy...extremely soft & spongy...this scent...Oh shit!', his face paled when he recognised what he was squeezing and of whom he was squeezing. Opening his eyes in slight horror and anticipation, he saw the flushed face of the one & only Anko Mitarashi, her eyes closed in pleasure or irritation, her face red indicating a blush or anger, he didn't know. But knew one thing, he had to apologize or he could kiss his manhood goodbye, not that he could do that literally.
"Go-Gomen A-Anko-san. I-I'm extremely sorry", he apologised, his voice stuttering like that of Orochimaru caught experimenting by his mommy while his hand still hadn't left her left plump breast. What more was that during the night to get comfortable, Anko had taken off her trenchcoat leaving her in a VERY revealing fishnet, almost making Naruto feel her skin. On the other hand, a teasing grin took birth on Anko's flushed face.
"Hehe, I see you're still enjoying yourself despite the apology, eh Naru-kun?", she reached down to whisper in his ears, "If you want me, you could've just said so Na-ru-to-kun", she whispered huskily, her hot breath tingling his neck, making his senses go haywire. He started sputtering while his blush darkened to that Hinata's shade before Anko started laughing hysterically. After some moments of her laughing at his expense she calmed down, although she was still lightly snickering to herself.
"Oh hehehe , that was great! I can't believe that I just pranked the greatest prankmaster of Konoha of all times", she said while wiping the tears from so much laughing before wearing her trench coat, while Naruto couldn't help but feel proud of that compliment. It was like pranking flowed in his blood, and although his DNA had changed he felt as though he was honouring his mother with his status as a prankmaster, pretty weird huh. Shaking himself from these useless thoughts , he remembered the events that took place two days before.
"I presume Orochimaru fled", he said out of nowhere while Anko flinched ever so slightly before nodding sadly at him.
"Good, I'll catch that bastard myself", he said off handed with determination shining in his eyes while Anko looked at him surprised, but that wouldn't be the first time he had done that.
"Hehe, no matter how much I try to know you, you always manage to surprise me Naru-kun", she said with a surprisingly much lower tone than she usually uses, a small smile of adoration present on her face making Naruto feel all warm inside before he decided to ask what was on his mind since the start of the second exams.
"Okay, I'm kinda confused here. Why do you keep calling me Naru-kun? You act as if you have known me my whole life even though I've never met you", he said in confusion with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Oh, you've never met me huh? Seems I need to freshen up your memory", she said with a wink before transforming herself into a girl who looked to be in her teens, her purple hair falling to the mid of her back wearing civilian clothes. There was a cute expression on her face, a dango stick in her soft hands which she seemed to be offering to Naruto.
"Do you want dango whisker-chan", she asked with an extreme cute face, her eyes shining as if her whole world depended on Naruto's answer. Immediately, Naruto's jaw dropped on the hospital bed, his eyes wide while he pointed a shaky finger at her.
"You...You are...", he stuttered while the girl smiled in anticipation.
Flashback- 5 Years Ago- Several Months After the Disappearance of his Friends (Kurenai, Yugao & Hana)
Little 8 years old Naruto was currently going through a trash can in a dark alley to find something to eat. It was night time, so under the street lights he was hoping to find something edible as he hadn't eaten anything for two days. All the other food shops refused to give him anything, he hadn't got any money for Ichiraku ramen and didn't like to put burden on the old man there. It was still some days before he would get his weekly allowance from his jiji, so he had to resort to trashcan food to atleast keep him alive. Not finding anything, he kicked the can in frustration.
"Ahh damn it! Isn't there anything here that I can eat?", he said while grabbing his dirty blonde hair in frustration before he heard the soft sounds of footsteps of someone approaching the alley with his enhanced senses. Immediately hiding in a dark corner behind the other cans, he looked sneakily to see a girl of his age coming to exactly where he was hiding. His eyes widened his horror before he heard a soft & a caring voice.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun, I'm not here to hurt you. You're hungry right?", as if answering her question he stood up shakily, he had nothing to lose after all. He knew this could be one of the many methods of the villagers to kill him with poisoned food, but he didn't care, either his stomach was getting full or he was just gonna die. He was tired of it, he wouldn't be able to live by the end of the week anyway. But he was surprised to see a 'very' beautiful girl, taller than him by a few inches with a cheerful expression on her face carrying two stuffed bags. His mouth watered at the delicious aroma of the hot food coming from those paper bags, while he just nodded, his eyes transfixed on the stuff she was carrying like he had found the working scrolls to Hiraishinin. He was brought out of his mouth watering trance when he heard her giggling, her voice sounded like an angel leading to a small blush on his whiskered face.
"Aww, is whisker-chan blushing? How cute!", she exclaimed before taking him into a sudden tight hug, making Naruto's face flush an extreme shade of red as his face was pushed into her impressive bust, for her age atleast. He was a bit uncomfortable with the sudden physical contact as he wasn't used to it after all. But somehow he was a bit disappointed when she released him but that bright cheery smile of hers more than made up for it, lighting a small smile on his face.
"Ano...who are you?", he asked while tilting his head in confusion whereas the girl just blinked at him.
"Oh... do you remember who puts those packs of dango on your door at mornings & nights?", she said with her shining eyes which radiated happiness, he wished his eyes were like her too. Realising her question, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Y-You were...", he trailed off while she nodded furiously with a large grin, "Yep yep, it was me. Sorry that I couldn't meet you in person before, but I was always in a hurry for my training with my awesome sensei!", she said with so much happiness that it looked like nothing could make her sad.
"So...", he again trailed when his stomach growled loudly while he blushed in embarrassment. The girl leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, "You're so cute whisker-chan", she said with her shining brown eyes, a loving smile on her face while Naruto sputtered incoherent words, he didn't know how to deal with compliments, rarely did he faced such feat after all.
"Yosh! Let's go to your apartment, we need to fill your tummy up!", she said while taking Naruto's hand in her, her exuberance illuminating the night before they vanished in a puff of smoke.
Naruto's Apartment
Appearing in the small dark apartment, Naruto could feel his head spinning because of the teleportation as he wasn't used to it when he felt a soft but firm hand on his small shoulder, "Are you alright whisker-chan?", she said with concern while Naruto could feel his eye's twitching at the nickname.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, so stop calling me whisker-chan dattebayo!", he said with a frown as he pointed his thumb at his chest proudly while she cooed.
"Ooh, does whisker-chan not like his name?", she said in a teasing tone while Naruto's irritation grew. He was about to retort before she beat him to it," You can also call me by any nickname if you want, ne?", she offered with a smile while he went into thinking pose. After some moments of not saying anything, "Oh come on, it shouldn't take that long to come up with a name for me, it could be 'super angel', or like 'pretty awesome princess', ne?", she offered with a grin before Naruto suddenly said.
"Oh I know... dango-chan!", he exclaimed while she face vaulted. She got up, her eyes twitching while a vein popped on her forehead before she grabbed him by his collar.
"What kind of idiotic name is that!", she yelled, shaking him furiously before Naruto retorted back, "Then what kind of a stupid name is whisker-chan?", he said as both 'hmph-ed' in irritation, looking in opposite directions, arms crossed in front of their chests.
"I wouldn't talk to you, you're mean", she said in a childish-like voice while Naruto winced ever so slightly.
"Neither would I...you were the one who started this", he puffed his cheeks to show his irritation, both of them stubborn before another growl from Naruto's stomach broke them out of their stupor before the girl sighed.
"Alright, alright. Let's eat now, you haven't eaten for a while now", she said before putting the freshly baked dango on some plates which she had brought from the kitchen on the small dinner table of Naruto's apartment.
"Hey...how do you know which things are kept where in my house", he said while the girl grinned sheepishly, "Oh, I kept coming here during nights to check up on you or your apartment after my training, but I always found you asleep", she said, a hint of fear in her usually bright eyes for how he would take this. Meanwhile, Naruto didn't say anything but just went upto her before hugging her tightly, his small hands locking around her curvy lower back while he rested his head on her stomach.
"Th-Thank you fo...for everything dango-chan", he said with his quivering voice while she just blinked in surprise before hugging him back, "Oh hehe... it's nothing whisker-chan, really", she said with a small blush adorning her cheeks under the moonlight, almost giving her form an angelic glow. However, her clothes were tattered a bit as she had come after her training as usual.
"No...no...it means everything...t-to me", he said while furiously shaking his head as his grip tightened. She lovingly stroked his blonde hair she was so mesmerised with while he sobbed a bit. After a few moments of just staying in this position he calmed down a bit, " C'mon now, my dango is getting cold", she said jokingly while Naruto too nodded, his eyes still wet before he wiped them with his petite hands. She sat on one of the two chairs while Naruto took the other one before they both starting eating. Both of them ate like they hadn't eaten for days, while that was true in case of Naruto but because of the training that her sensei put her through, she was hungry as hell. While Naruto hadn't eaten dango before, he was slowly coming to like it, but the taste didn't matter to him as long as his stomach was full right now.
She & Naruto both sighed in contentment as they patted their buffy stomach, "That was...awesome", he said with a dreamy look on his face, it felt amazing for his stomach to be full after two days while the girl nodded with him in satisfaction.
"Hey...um dango-chan?", he said with a faraway look from his face while she 'hmm-ed' to indicate that she was listening, her eyes still closed as she enjoyed the comfortable silence between them.
"Do you know...Behihime-chan, Yugi-chan or Tsume-chan?", he said with a hopeful look in his eyes while she flinched lightly at the question which went unnoticed by Naruto, as he was too engrossed in the memory of his friends whom he had been searching for months now.
"Sorry whisker-chan, but I don't know about them", she said while her eyes were still closed, trying to avoid seeing the sad expression on his face.
'Gomen Naru-kun, but I promised Kure-chan, Yugao-chan & Hana-chan not to tell about them to you', she thought before remembering the main reason she had met him tonight.
"Ne whisker-chan, I'm going with my sensei to a training trip outside the village", she said after opening her eyes while Naruto's eyes widened.
"Y-You too...but when will you b-be back?", he said, a sad look on his face at having to say goodbye to yet another of his rare friends.
"Ah don't worry, I'll be back soon. I have to train to get stronger", she said with a smile before a look of confusion crossed Naruto's face, "But why do you want to become strong?", he said with a cute expression making her blush a bit.
"So I can protect my precious people", she said with conviction as determination shined in her brown eyes while Naruto's eyes widened. It was this line that had changed his whole perspective on the world of shinobi, it was this one simple statement that had urged and helped him to face more difficult times he would come across in the next five years, it was this declaration that had made the blueprints for his nindo, his shinobi's way, his way of the ninja and most importantly, his reason for becoming strong and his dream of becoming Hokage.
"...and especially you, whisker-chan", she said in a barely audible whisper which any normal person wouldn't have been able to hear. His pupil in his wide eyes zoomed out to that of a small circle when he heard her whisper.
"R-Really? B-But why would you d-do that?", he asked with a lump in his throat while she smiled serenely at him, "Of course I would, as to why...nope, not telling you", she replied before sticking her tongue out at him while Naruto couldn't help but smile at her. It was probably one of his rare happy days in a year, seeing her face and her happy expression, an unfamiliar warmth spread throughout his body like a wildfire.
"Then I too would become strong, and will protect you along with other people who are precious to me dattebayo!", he said with his thousand watt smile making her blush yet again, before she replied, "I'll look forward to it whisker-chan", before motioning him to come closer to her. Naruto got out of his chair before moving to the other side of the table in front of her sitting form.
"It's late now whisker-chan, you should sleep now. I too have to rest as I'll leave the village early tomorrow", she said with a small smile while he lowered his head.
"C'mon, don't be gloomy. I'll be back strong and will protect you from all those idiot villagers. Meanwhile, Hokage-sama should be able to keep a leash on them somewhat. But...", she bit her lip while withdrawing her gaze from his oceanic blue eyes in which she could just lose herself, "You'll remember me, wouldn't you?", she said with a worried face while he nodded furiously.
"Ofcourse, you're now one of the few who I treasure and would gladly give up my life for", he said with a smile while she moisture gathered in her eyes before she crushed him into a tight hug.
"I'll miss you so much whisker-chan", she whispered with a sniff, while Naruto patted her back with his small hands, "I'll miss you too", he whispered before she released him slowly while rubbing her eyes. Slowly leaning down, she placed a tender kiss on his cheeks while he blushed furiously. Nobody had ever kissed him, even on the cheek, so it felt kinda weird but he wasn't the one to complain.
"Ja ne whisker-chan and maybe when I return, I'll tell you my name", she said while grinning before vanishing in a shunshin.
"HEY WAIT!", he shouted but she was already gone, " Damn! I really forgot to ask her name. Aah! I'm such an idiot!", he exclaimed while smacking his forehead.
"But...I'll always remember you and wait for you...hehehe, dango-chan", he spoke to himself while laughing at the stupid nickname he had come up with.
Flashback End
"DANGO-CHAN!", he exclaimed as he got out of his white sheets before hugging her tightly. Anko blushed furiously while her eyes twitched in irritation at the silly name he hadn't seem to forgot.
"Will you stop using that ridiculous name! I now call you Naru-kun, don't I?", she said, trying to feign irritation but couldn't help but smile while Naruto released her before rubbing the back of his head, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry, so...", his eyes widened when he realised that the famous torture specialist of Konoha was that same bubbly, always smiling and impulsive girl that he had met about five years ago. He now started understanding everything, why she didn't came to greet him after her training. He was sad at the time that she could've just abandoned him like his other previous three friends, or worse maybe she had died out there during her training. He now understood everything, she was Anko Mitarashi, prodigy student of the snake Sanin & traitor Orochimaru. That bastard had fooled her innocent mind at that time, he had given her curse mark during their training trip before she was found on the shores of the Demon Island. He didn't even want to imagine what that asshole may have put her through or what disgusting things she may have seen with him to change her personality so much.
"S-So...you w-were Anko all a-along. Y-You were the o-one to help me. That's why... that's why you didn't came to meet me after you were found in a partial amnesia state. You h-had such a b-bright personality before...th-that bastard" he growled while Anko just smiled sadly before nodding at him.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't meet you after that. When I returned, there was already the burden of curse mark on me along with amnesia. My mind was on the brink of going insane with the things that I saw with him and the constant pain that this curse seal provides me with, but Hokage-sama along with my friends saved me. By the time I was stable enough, Hokage-sama had already told me not to approach you just like Kurenai, Yugao & Hana-", she was interrupted by Naruto.
"What! What do you mean Hana & Yugao too?", he said in confusion while she just smiled in anticipation waiting for him to sort things out by himself, it would be much better to see that. His eyes widened when he realised.
"D-Do you mean Inuzuka Hana & Uzuki Yugao, two of the famous four i-ice queens of Konoha? What w-would they w-want with me? I swear I d-didn't take a p-peek on them wh-while they we-were bathing", he said with fear in his voice, covering his manhood while Anko just blinked before she broke into fits of laughter. True, these ice queens were the only ones who were on his, 'Not to Prank' list. It may be funny to anyone else, but ask those who had their manhood's amputated because of these four.
"No no...you got it all wrong. They wouldn't hurt you, not in a million years, trust me with that. They would rather commit senppuku before even thinking of that. Oh, hehehe... I'll have to tell this to Kure-chan, Yugao-chan & Hana-chan for sure!", she said still laughing to herself while Naruto sighed heavily in relief.
"But wait, '-chan'? You know them? I thought these four rarely interacted with someone except themselves", he said in confusion while Anko grinned at him.
"True true, they prefer to remain in their own circle, so why wouldn't I know them if we talk with each other everyday", she said with shining eyes while Naruto's jaw dropped for the second time.
"W-Wait, you m-mean to tell me th-that you're the fourth one", he stuttered while she nodded with a smirk before he ruffled his long spiky hair, sighing from all the surprises he's been getting these past couple of days.
"Wow! Never thought I would meet two ice queens in person", he said in wonder while Anko sat beside him, the closeness between them making her blush, Naruto being the oblivious self.
"Naru-kun, but what about your curse mark? I don't think you're body will be able to handle three types of chakra", she said before he nodded in understanding. He then started explaining her all about Ayumi, but he was shocked when she told him that she along with other three & the Hokage knew about Kyuubi being a female & other things seeing as Kushina had told them about. Composing himself he then told her about why Ayumi had attacked the village that day making Anko sad as she told him that they hadn't even found Kushina's dead body that day, she was probably crushed under Kyuubi or other debris. He also told her of his tenant's plan to get rid of the curse seal.
"So, does that mean that you're free from it?", she asked while he shrugged. Curiosity eating her, she leaned across him and gasped upon seeing the same curse mark, although it was red in colour.
"H-How? It's red in colour. What happened? I saw that it was black yesterday", she said while Naruto's eyes widened too.
"I...don't know, I'll have to ask her. But right now, it seems she's sleeping, probably tired from all that work", he said before she nodded worriedly at him. After both of them remaining quiet for sometime, each lost in his/her own thoughts, Naruto smiled before he broke the silence.
"Ne Anko-chan...", he called whereas she blushed furiously at the addition of '-chan'.
'I can't believe I actually made Mitarashi Anko blush. But don't worry Anko-chan, I'll bring you to the way you used to be, I'll bring you to your own happy self in no time. And I promise you that I'll remove that curse seal of yours one day. But first it seems, I have to concentrate on fuinjutsu along with my training', he thought before taking hold of her chin while Anko's heart started beating faster, her heart thumping in her chest as if wanting to come out and lay itself in Naruto's hand, in his care.
She gulped nervously as she stared into those intense blue orbs, she was not like this dammit! This was is so not her, she could kill men with just her looks, she could torture prisoners in the most vicious ways, hell not even the most handsome of guys could make her blush. But in front of him, all her insecurities just flood away like they never existed, she just couldn't retain her mask of a bad ass kunoichi in front of him. No matter what, she couldn't help but feel happy & safe in his presence, traces of the old Anko seem to appear whenever he's around her.
Leaning down, he kissed her softly on her cheek just like she did all those years ago leading to a cute blush on her cheeks. He grinned his foxy grin at her making her heart flutter while she could feel butterflies dancing around in her stomach. Naruto's grin faltered when his stomach growled loudly making him blush in embarrassment while Anko just chuckled, a small blush still on her cheeks.
"It seems that whenever we meet, you get hungry, ne Naru-kun", she said while Naruto just rubbed his back head while chuckling with her.
"I'll get something for you as I know you hate hospital food", she said before winking at him while Naruto pouted, "Hey, it's not fair. You know almost everything about me but I know very little about you Anko-chan", he said while she just smiled at him.
"Oh not to worry, we will have plenty of time to know each other", she said while sensually licking her middle finger making Naruto blush before she jumped out of the window.
Naruto sighed while chuckling to himself, 'That woman is crazy', he thought jokingly before a sad expression came across his face. Remembering his fight with Sasuke, he knew he had almost lost control on his emotions there. He couldn't allow that to happen in future. Orochimaru would've probably seen his reaction on his mother's topic, so there's no mistake he would try that tactic again in the future.
'I need to get control over myself, I nearly killed him there. Don't want the fucking council on my ass right now', he thought while leaking a bit of killer intent at the thought of civilian council especially, those narrow minded fools. Remembering the matter about the curse mark, he tried to contact with Ayumi.
'Hey Ayumi-chan, you there?', hearing no reply he took it that she must be asleep. Taking a look around for the first time after waking up, he saw that he was in a typical two bed room with a white curtain between them, although he was the only one currently there. He'd always hated hospitals, the smell of medicines and the trash they called food made him just want to run away and never look back. The walls, bed sheets, the doctor's & nurse's uniforms and even the floor were just plain dull white making it seem like he was in an asylum. Although the bright sun rays coming through the window along with the peaceful sounds of chirping birds made up for it. While sitting, he flexed his arms & wrists also noticing that he was still in his jounin-like black vest with dark blue shinobi pants, his black sandals on the side of his bed while his white trenchcoat hung by the entrance door.
He was pulled out his thoughts when the door to his room slid sideways to reveal Hiruzen in his Hokage robes along with Mei & A.
"Ah, I see you've awaken Naruto-kun", said Hiruzen with his grandfatherly smile while Naruto's expression turned serious, "Cut the act old man, I know you've been watching me & Anko from that crystal ball of yours", he said while A smirked in amusement whereas Hiruzen sighed. It would seem his grandson like figure still hadn't forgiven him.
'Smart kid', Mei thought in amusement while outwardly she was smiling typically.
"It would seem you know me better than I thought Naruto-kun", he said with a smile before Naruto retorted, "Yeah, never known you better than these past couple of days", A had to tighten his jaw this time not to outright laugh at the poor Hokage.
'Oooh, that's another knockout jab', thought our sarcastic Mizukage while Hiruzen's eyes twitched before he again spoke under the glare that Naruto was piercing him with.
"Ahm, it seems that you're not in a good mood", said the Hokage calmly while the blonde jinchuriki yet again retorted, "Yes, thanks to you."
"WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!", yelled the famous professor using the famous big head jutsu while A just outright started laughing whereas Mei started giggling, it's not everyday you see a genin rile up a kage after all.
Naruto jerked his head when he heard laughing to notice that there were two other people along with Hiruzen. His eyes widened when he recognized them as the Raikage & the Mizukage. Remembering the events at the preliminaries due to his shadow clones, he immediately started thinking of an idea to apologise to them.
"It seems you noticed Raikage-dono & Mizukage-dono after all", said Hiruzen after taking a deep breath while Naruto greeted them immediately, albeit a bit nervously, "It's nice to meet you Raikage-sama, Mizukage-sama", using these kind of formalities just didn't suit him.
"The pleasure's all mine Naruto-san, but no need for formalities. You can call me Mei", said our busty Mizukage while Naruto blushed upon seeing her beautiful face, also remembering the stunt his idiotic clone had pulled that day.
"I-I'm sorry for what the c-clones did", he suddenly said bowing to them while sitting whereas Raikage just waved his apology off, "It's alright gaki, it's been awhile since someone had the guts to show me the middle finger", he said making Naruto blush in embarrassment.
Meanwhile Mei too was blushing as she remembered that event, she couldn't just flush it out of her mind for these past two days. Feeling Naruto's innocent gaze on her as if expecting her to say something, her blush deepened but she managed to compose herself but replying.
"I-It's quite alright Naruto-san", she said while thanking her long red hair which were doing quite well to blend in with the blush before Naruto smiled brightly at her. His charming smile darkening her blush while she could feel her heart pounding. But thankfully for her, Anko came to the rescue as she appeared in the room via shunshin with a large bowl of packed Ichiraku Ramen making Naruto drool at the sight.
"Oh, my apologies Hokage-sama, Raikage-sama, Mizukage-sama. I didn't know you were here", she said with a sheepish expression while Sarutobi gave her a warm smile.
"Don't worry Anko, we were just here to check up on Naruto-kun & to discuss some important things", said Sarutobi seriously while Anko got the message before nodding at him.
"See you later Naru-kun & take care!", she said after putting the packed ramen on the small desk besides the table before winking at him making his cheeks red and disappearing via leaf shunshin.
"You can eat it later Naruto, we need to discuss some important things here", said the Hokage in his authoritative tone making Naruto pout and Mei had to resist glomping him right there. Ignoring his expression, he continued.
"First, how is your curse mark?", he said making Naruto glance at A & Mei.
"Don't worry, you can tell them everything. A few days ago, a triangular alliance was formed between Konoha, Kiri & Kumo. They have already shared the information about their jinchuriki, so it would be alright", he said while Naruto nodded a bit hesitantly, he still couldn't completely trust outsiders but he also had to follow the Hokage's orders, however he wouldn't tell them everything.
"Then I presume you know about Kyuubi being female as Anko told me", said Naruto while Hiruzen nodded, Kushina had informed him about that before. On the other hand Raikage & Mei were shocked that Kyuubi was a female.
"You mean to tell me that the strongest of the bijuu is a female", said A in a shocked tone before he heard a sickly sweet voice.
"You mean to say that we females cannot be the strongest", said Mei with a cheery smile while her red bang of hair shadowed her eyes, making A somewhat nervous, "O-Of course not", he said while laughing nervously.
"Good!", she said with a cheerful bright smile like she was never angry making A even more uncomfortable.
'Bee was right, women are scary yo! Shit! Now I'm starting to sound like that idiot', thought A while Naruto & Hiruzen were snickering inwardly at the fastest shinobi in the world. After telling them of Ayumi's plan to get rid of the curse seal, they were shocked when they saw a red coloured curse mark on his back neck.
"Naruto-san, was it red when he gave it you?", asked Mei with a serious expression, "No, Anko told me that it was black before. But when I woke up, it was red. I'll ask Ayumi about this when she wakes up, considering she's tired from all the work", he said while staring out of the window.
"What...about the finals Hokage-sama?", asked Naruto still staring outside at the bright sunny day as he watched children play at the ground below with their parents.
"It will be announced today in the evening at the top floor of the Hokage's tower", said Sarutobi as he winced when Naruto used 'Hokage-sama' instead of his usual affectionate term of 'jiji'.
"About your Rinnegan Naruto-kun...", started Hiruzen while Mei's & A's interest perked up at the mention of such legendary doujutsu, "What about it?", said Naruto calmly still staring outside as a small smile came to his face, when he saw a mother tending to her son's injuries.
"All those moves, all those jutsus...how? I can understand the elemental ones, but sub-elementals and of the level you pulled out there?...That's just ridiculous even with all the shadow clones", said the Hokage while Naruto still wasn't facing him.
"Do you know what Itachi told me when my training finished?", said Naruto as he then watched a white bird fly freely, with no burden, no restraints, no obligations, totally alone in the vast blue sky. As if sensing the Hokage shake his head, he turned his head before continuing.
"He said-'You're not an average shinobi Naruto-kun, you're probably a bigger genius than I, Kakashi or the Yondaime ever were. It was just a matter of finding the right teacher for you & some incentive to drive you, and off you go. You have raw talent in abundance that even I cannot hope to surpass'", three pairs of eyes widened when they came to know that, Uchiha Itachi, probably the genius who comes after generations say this himself to the blonde jinchuriki. Again Hiruzen cursed Mizuki along with other academy teachers who acted like all the ignorant villagers.
"But that aside, how were you able to use three elements at such young age along with Ice & Storm. In most cases, you cannot use a sub-element unless you've got a bloodline, but two?", said A, curious to know the answer while Mei too was interested in this part.
"Rinnegan allows the user the affinity for all the five elements along with gravity. And also I can use as many sub elements as the six elements can form. For example, when my other two affinities unlock, I can use Lava & Boil release just like Mei-sama here", he said while gazing at her making their jaws drop except the Hokage.
"B-But that's impossible!", stuttered A while Mei was just speechless.
"A week ago, even the Rinnegan was impossible. But I have to train extensively in these sub elements to even get a grasp of them since I don't have a special bloodline to make it easier for me but only a strong affinity for them", he said while A grumbled about needing fresh air whereas Mei just smiled at Naruto.
"Then if you ever need help mastering Lava or Boil release Naruto-san, you can come to me", she said while Naruto looked at her in surprise before his expression turned to that of suspicion.
"Why would you do that? What would you gain from it?", he said making her blink in surprise.
'He's suffered so much that he has trouble trusting just about anybody', she thought sadly before replying, "I wouldn't gain anything from it Naruto-san. And as Itachi-san said, if given a proper teacher you can tap into your full potential. You have suffered so much in your life that I think you atleast deserve that. Know that in this war against Akatsuki, we would need anything to our advantage that we can get. Although it's completely upto you to trust me, but I would be honoured to teach you. And of course it would be appreciative if you would be able to teach me something in future whenever you visit our village. Remember Naruto-san, you'll always be welcomed in our village as long as I'm the Mizukage", she said with a smirk making their jaws drop, here a kage was honoured to train a genin?
'I guess you have something special about you Naruto-san', thought A while smirking to himself before he spoke, "Well if Mizukage-dono has given you an offer, then I guess it's my turn now eh Naruto? I've seen that lightning fist style of yours, it's good but lacks power as well as speed which you'll need for your future battles. That's just the beginning stage of my infamous Lightning Armour Taijutsu, so I would teach it you since you seem to have a talent for it. And you don't need to be suspicious, since in this treaty each of our villages are willing to share techniques, training regiments and other stuff upto some level. So it would be beneficial for us as well", said A shocking Naruto even further. This alliance was really something, based on purely trust and friendship, it truly was a rare feat in the world of shinobi.
"I would be honoured to take up on your offer in the future Raikage-sama, Mei-sama", he said as he bowed to them, still sitting before Hiruzen interrupted him.
"Naruto-kun, there's another thing I wanted to tell you", he said seriously making Naruto lift his head to see Hiruzen & A having perverted grins on their faces and Mei, blushing?
"You need to have a harem", said the Hokage simply making Naruto blush furiously.
"Hokage-dono! Y-You can't call it like that?", stuttered Mei while Hiruzen chuckled, "Oh pray tell me then Mizukage-dono, how would you spell it?", said the old pervert while Naruto still had a flushed face.
"Well Naruto-san...", she blushed again before continuing, "You need to have multiple wives under the Clan Restoration Act as stated in", she turned towards the Hokage who sighed before answering, "page 1187, paragraph fourth of Hokage's Enacted Laws book, formed by the Shodaime himself along with some additions later on", Naruto blinked at possibly the most ridiculous way of telling one that, 'Yo kid! You're gonna love & bang some multiple women of your choice to create a clan, it's that simple got it?'.
"So, which version was better Naruto-san?", said A as he wiped the blood off his nose while Naruto deadpanned, "Of course the earlier one", making Mei grumble about all men being perverts.
"Is it because of Rinnegan?", he asked as Hiruzen nodded with him, "Then would you mind telling me the minimum number of wives I'll have to take?", he asked with raised eyebrows while Sarutobi's grin widened.
"You have to take a minimum of ten wives Naruto-kun", he said making Naruto's blush skyrocket along with Mei's while the aged male kages started giggling pervertedly.
"I don't think I can handle that many", he grumbled while A patted him on the back painfully making him wince, "Oh don't worry Naruto-san, you'll do fine! Although you'll have to increase your stamina tenfold" he said making poor Naruto's blush darken.
"Is that all Hokage-sama?", he said while Hiruzen nodded at him, that blasted perverted grin still on his face as if HE was having a harem. Hopping off the bed, Naruto slipped on his shinobi sandals before he stood up. Just as he was about to walk up to his trenchcoat, he felt the world around him spin. Seeing his condition, Mei immediately was in front of him before she caught his falling form.
She blushed when she felt his head in between her breasts before Naruto came back to his senses. Immediately that same feeling of being crushed into the valley of heaven washed over him, just like when he had woke up. His face turned to that Hinata's shade of red as he jerked himself off her while sputtering apologies to her, Mei still having a blush on her face.
'That...felt good', she thought while blushing before she noticed that Naruto was long gone along with his trenchcoat and packed Ramen.
After Two Minutes-Konoha's Forests-Behind the Hokage's Monument
Panting, Naruto skidded across the clearing in the dense forests he would come when he was little to hide from the villagers, when they were as he dubbed, in a demon hunting mode. His heart had been pounding so rapidly in that room when his face was in between those melons, that he just wanted to hide from her and never show himself again. Wanting to escape the uncomforting position and most possibly the wrath of the Mizukage, he had dashed from the hospital as fast as he could.
'Well, atleast Ramen's still with me', he thought with a smile before sitting down under the shade of a tree as he opened it with barely restrained glee. Just as he was about to take the first bite out of it, he noticed that wind just in front of him started picking up, leaves started rustling while there was pin drop silence around him. Sensing that something was probably wrong, he stood up sneakily before drawing a kunai and activated his Rinnegan to see if there were any chakra signatures nearby.
But he was shocked to his core, when suddenly lighting started cackling just in front of him, a small crater formed on the ground while a drift started to open from midair. Suddenly the drift tore to a size that of a normal door, from which came a huge single bloodied claw in a blur stopping just inches from his face, blood dripping from the sharpened tip just in front of his wide eyes. The claw immediately blurred back into the hole before he heard a loud feminine scream come from this unexplainable hole in midair.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH", his eyes widened when something or rather someone hit him full force making both of them crash on the tree trunk, poor Naruto having to face the impact of their collision. The drift slowly started to decrease in size until it wasn't there.
'HOLY SHIT! What the hell was that?', thought Naruto while grunting painfully as he saw everything return to normal, still oblivious to the fact that there was someone lying on him. His eyes widened when he heard an angelic voice, a voice he had come to know in the last couple of days.
"Uhh...what hit me dattebane..."
Hehehehe, I know I'm evil ( Cliffy Cliffy). Heads up to those who can tell me how did she land here, I think I gave you enough hint. And again no flames, everything will be explained in the upcoming chapters as to what happened here. Also the next update may take some time seeing as I would be going out of station for two or three days. If you have any questions(Except how did Kushina land here) you can just PM me. So review, and until next time Ja ne!
