Hi guys, so here's another quick update you've been waiting for. And thanks for the reviews in the last chapter…I appreciate it! And also, one more thing that I wanted to say was that for those love brother-sister incest (like me ^_^), they should check out 'Knife of Romance' by 'Inugrrrrl' (If you haven't read of course) which you can find on my favorite stories page. It's a Inuyasha fic, though if you haven't watched the series, still you can read it considering that it's a modern day fic. But personally, it is one of the best incest fics I've ever read, so you should give it a try. Now on with the chapter-

Chapter-17-A Mother's Wrath

'I pity you old man', thought Naruto as he prayed to Kami to have mercy on his old bones.

"K-Kushina….wha-", Sarutobi was interrupted when suddenly his neck was painfully grabbed by Kushina, who had blurred out of nowhere.

'Fast!', was the only thing Naruto could think while Ayumi was inwardly smirking to herself.

'You've seen nothing Naruto-kun', she thought with an amused smile as she too watched the scene going on through Naruto's eyes.

"!", she yelled while gritting her teeth, her eyes blood red with one black tomoe, her expression clearly defining her unrestrained fury. Meanwhile Naruto too could feel her intense anger coming off in waves.

'She's scary', he thought with a nervous expression while he understood what Shikamaru really meant when he complained about his crazy mother.

"YOU'LL BE THE ONE ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS HERE OLD MAN!", she screamed at his face while Hiruzen's eyes were as wide as they could, blood seeping down his bruised jaw, probably dislocated from the ferocious sucker punch.

'Sharingan! What the hell is going on here?...how could Kushina…as far as I know she never had an eye transplant….and how come Naruto is with her?...Oh crap!', his face paled when he realised that Naruto probably knew that Kushina was his mother, but the biggest question here was: How was Kushina alive?

'But we never did found her body…..on the other hand looking at her, she doesn't look one day old than the last time I saw her thirteen years ago', thought the professor as he tried to process the unexplainable situation that he suddenly found himself in out of nowhere. How was one supposed to react in these types of circumstances? It doesn't matter if you're the leader of a village when suddenly a person who was supposed to be dead, mother of his grandson-like figure barges in your office like that, he was totally clueless right now as to what to do.

Though his & Naruto's eyes widened when suddenly Kushina, using her right hand started writing some complex circular seals in midair just right of her, her sky blue chakra from her fingers illuminating the seal. Her speed with which her hands were making strokes in midair was a blur to Naruto's untrained naked eye as compared to Sarutobi's. The fluency & precision with which she was making the strokes was breath-taking to Naruto.

"Amazing….Ayumi-chan, do you see that?", he asked inwardly in a giddy voice whereas Ayumi started giggling, sometimes his curiousness & easy to excite personality when it came to shinobi arts was so adorable.

"That's your mama for you Naruto-kun", said the strongest bijuu with a nauseate smile, while he just kept watching the way her hands fluently moved, as if enchanting his electric blue eyes & his ever curious mind. He could look like a cool strong shinobi to his the rookie nine or the other genins because of his Rinnegan and all, but his mother just took the cake when it came to totally looking like a kick-ass kunoichi.

"Fuin!", she exclaimed after slamming her hands on the seal and rotating her palm in a clockwise direction, as if locking it.

"There….now no one will interrupt us, no matter how strong they are….they wouldn't be able to get past my seal barrier. So…..", she trailed off while taking deep breaths, desperately trying to calm herself. She had lost it when Sarutobi had asked her that how was she alive, and was now cursing herself for exploding like that. But when it came to Naruto, she wasn't going to forgive anybody responsible for his crappy life up until now.

"K-Kushina…..what…..", the Sandaime trailed off when he noticed her murderous glare.

"I told you that I'll be the one asking questions here…now as to the question of how am I alive, that I'll explain later. Why did I punch you, that too I'll explain later. But first explain me…", she grabbed him by his samurai vest rougly, "WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DESTROY MY SON'S CHILDHOOD?", she practically spat at him, her voice becoming demonic while a black slit formed in her Sharingan, surrounding which was a tomoe, making even Hiruzen tremble in fear of her wrath, that was all concentrated on him now. But he atleast now understood why the hell was she acting like this?

He sighed showing a tired face, which could only be hosted by an old man, the one who has seen all kinds of days and was probably tired of it all. Seeing his face made Kushina pity the guy somewhat, he was precious to her alright, but right now her wrath was on all time high and she'll be damned if she let that council and him get away with this.

"I knew one day when I died, I had to answer to you & Minato, though I was not expecting it to be so soon", he said with a chuckle while Naruto sweatdropped.

'I think jiji's lost it', he thought while Kushina narrowed her eyes at the Kami no Shinobi.

"Shut your philosophical crap and ANSWER my questions!", she said, her eyes glowing red for a second. If there was anyone else in place of Sarutobi, he/she would've probably fainted just by the intimidating stare that Kushina was currently weighing upon the old Hokage.

"If you've met Naruto then I presume that somehow….you must have seen his memories", said the miraculously conscious Sarutobi while Kushina nodded ever so slightly.

"I tried to protect him Kushina….I would've never told the villagers about Naruto being the jinchuriki just like in your case, but some Anbu and jounin that night had seen Minato seal the Kyuubi into Naruto…and the news just spread like wild fire throughout Konoha", he paused for a bit while Kushina nodded faintly, she had deduced this herself too and found some logic in it.

"I created a law that anyone who talks about Naruto's condition would be punishable by death, but the damage had already been done….and as you probably know that mobs woul-"

"I ALREADY KNOW ALL THAT! I WANT TO KNOW WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING?", she growled while applying more pressure to his neck.

"I tried to…but…..", his voice turned into whisper which she couldn't hear.

"WHAT WAS THAT?", she asked threateningly while Hiruzen sighed, he knew the answer he would give wouldn't be good for his health.

"It was the…council", he finally said it while Kushina clenched her other fist, which started to get white just from the pressure, youki began to arising out of her skin as she gritted her teeth. Her red hair defying gravity as they started to hover in air due to the demonic chakra force, a small crater forming beneath her feet while Hiruzen was further pushed into the wall by his neck. Meanwhile, Naruto's eyes widened when he noticed her growing out-of-control state.

'She's losing control….I have to do something quick!', he thought before extending his right palm, facing in the direction of where Kushina was standing. Meanwhile Hiruzen too started to wince when he felt the rising youki hurting the skin around his neck, while Kushina's nails started to extend into claws. When he had uttered those four words, her whole world had gone blank with nothing but only red in front of her eyes. Pure rage, fury…she was feeling pure hatred towards this man as well as the council & those villagers. He meant to tell her that the council, those fucking old advisers were influencing his decisions concerning Naruto. Well that was bullshit!

"Youuuh!…..YOU BASTARD!", she yelled as a sky blue ball of spiraling chakra started to form in her right hand, it's size increasing until it was covering her whole palm while her other hand was holding Hiruzen tight against the wall who had his eyes widened as he watched the menacing ball of chakra before a sad look came into his eyes, the look of a man who had accepted his fate.

'I guess…this is it. I'm sorry…Naruto, Kushina, Minato', thought the old leader as he closed his eyes, a remorseful expression on his face.

Naruto didn't know what the hell was she trying to do, but he knew that the beautiful looking glowing ball of chakra was lethal and he knew that with Kushina's insane speed, he won't be able to reach there in time. His right palm still extended towards Kushina, he whispered just as the ball was about to come in contact with Hiruzen's stomach.

"Banshou Tenin (All Creation Attraction)"

Kushina's eyes widened when suddenly she felt herself being pulled back roughly by an unexplainable force, however Sarutobi's eyes widened too when he too himself felt the pull which Naruto hadn't intended to do, before both of them flew/skidded towards Naruto at high speeds. The blonde jinchuriki's face paled when he saw the old skeleton fastly approaching him, just behind Kushina whose back was facing Naruto.

'Oh shit…I didn't mean to do that', he thought just before he caught Kushina, his arms encircling her waist making him slide on the floor because of the momentum, before he jumped sideways with Kushina still in his arms, on impulse with speed he didn't know he had, successfully dodging the frail old body of the current hokage, who right now was screaming comically as he was on a painful collision course with a wall on the opposite side of Naruto.

"AAAAHHHHH"

CRACK!

All of this had happened in a span of a second or two.

'Ow…that's gotta hurt…', thought Naruto with a nervous chuckle while he could hear Ayumi laughing her ass off. Right there, was buried deep in the wall was the body of one legendary Hiruzen Sarutobi, his head buried face first in the concrete as he groaned in pain.

"N-Naruto….you're going to get it now….", said the Hokage as he 'detached' himself from the wall, his face all bruised up & red from the face-first crash.

"S-Sorry….I still can't control that technique properly…..I only intended to pull Kaa-san away", said Naruto with a sheepish grin, Kushina still in his arms who hadn't spoken a word since Naruto had pulled her. Though the blonde jinchuriki stiffened when he felt her forcefully get out of his grasp, he gasped when he saw a furious expression on her face, fear instantly registering in his eyes at the possibility that she might beat him to a bloody pulp. Seeing the display of strength a moment ago, he couldn't help but be intimidated by her power, her bloodlust had practically filled the air, suffocated him and for a second, all of it was completely focused at him before Kushina realized that it was 'her' Naruto who was holding her before the faintest trail of pink registered on her cheeks, her anger vanishing instantly. She was so infuriated by the old coots answer that she just wanted to kill him….anybody right then….anything to destroy and he was the only thing in front of her. But when she felt herself being pulled, her anger increased for the one who had interrupted her.

However when she that it was Naruto, her anger had vanished instantly, replaced by a soft expression. She now remembered the feeling of his protective grasp & his firm arms around her waist. If there was anybody else, she would have given him/her a piece of her mind, but it was her Naruto. She couldn't even dream of doing anything that would harm her precious bundle of joy, her object of affection, her bright ray of sunshine, her source of eternal happiness & her…maelstrom. He was the only man she would allow to touch her in that way, and the pink tint on her cheeks was completely agreeing with her.

'His grasp was so gentle, so warm…but yet so firm, so protective, so loving….oh Naru-kun', she thought, no signs of all the rage & anger she was feeling a moment ago, a dreamy sigh almost escaping her lips but seeing Naruto's apologetic face and in his eyes….fear? Instantly, she realized that he might have got intimated by her power, she knew about his experience in his first C-rank mission, when he was paralysed by fear seeing the demon brothers attack them. But now, he was not seeing a chunin or a jounin, he was seeing an enraged kage level kunoichi who had, even if for a second, concentrated that huge amount of bloodlust on him.

Meanwhile, Naruto couldn't help but fear those blood red eyes, who were concentrated on him, even if for a second, he couldn't help but be paralyse by fear. Though her expression had softened and those eyes had turned to their typical violet color with their usual warmth in them which was only reserved for him, he still couldn't help but fear her a bit. He wasn't saying that he didn't love her, oh…he loved her so much, he had finally met her after so many years and wouldn't leave her….ever. But seeing her…power…no, it was something else, he had already fought the likes of Orochimaru before. Though before too, he felt a bit of fear when he engaged Orochimaru or met Itachi's cold expression for the first time…but those eyes, his first-hand experience of seeing those bijuufied eyes had him frozen in place. Usually he was the one being engulfed in anger, and so didn't feel it's effects and this was his first time at feeling so much killing intent & bloodlust. Zabuza's bloodlust was nothing compared to this one.

'Do I…look like that…every time I use Ayumi's chakra…those eyes…the bloodlust…it was suffocating', he thought with a bit of fear before inwardly steeling himself. No….he didn't want to appear weak in front of Kushina. What would she think about him if she gets to knows this….that he was scared by a bit of youki? He didn't want her to think that he feared her.

"I'm sorry Kaa-san….but I think…that maybe…you were going a little…too far?", he said with a painfully nervous smile, a small amount of fear clearly reflecting in his eyes as he involuntarily took a step back while Hiruzen watched them with a serious expression. He understood what Naruto was going through, the boy had first experience of being in the presence of youki, the intense bloodlust that washed Kyuubi's chakra. That was the same reaction of everyone from thirteen years ago when they felt Kyuubi's chakra, all of them were literally frozen in their places. Releasing such intense bloodlust was one thing, but being at the receiving end of it was on a whole other level.

Meanwhile, Kushina's eyes widened when she saw a small amount of fear in those usually bright orbs, a horrified expression on her face as a bit of moisture gathered in her eyes.

'No….I cannot have him fear me….I want him to love me….not fear me', she thought frantically, not registering her own thoughts clearly.

"N-Naru-kun…..what's wrong?", she asked with a concerned expression as she slowly approached him, a bit shaken form. Though Naruto's demeanor took a one-eighty turn when he saw her concerned expression along with some wetness in her eyes, his eyes widening as he saw the pained look in her eyes.

'She knows…damn it!'

Immediately he dashed towards her and hugged her tightly, as if silently telling her that everything was alright. Kushina though surprised by the action, hugged him back tightly as if he was the most precious thing to her in the world. Tears of relief flowing down her face, both of them finding comfort in each other's warmth while Hiruzen couldn't help but smile at the duo.

'Thank kami….I thought that he…', just at the thought, she almost bursted in tears. Though a pink tint grazed her cheeks when Naruto started to gently, but soothingly rub her back while his hot breath tickled her neck's unblemished porcelain skin. Naruto himself didn't register what he was doing, he had his eyes tightly closed, as if basking himself in the feeling of hugging her, as if berating himself for possibly fearing such a sweet & beautiful woman.

"I'm sorry Kaa-san…I'm an idiot", he whispered playfully, trying to lighten the mood, a sigh escaping his lips as he rested his head on her shoulders making her chuckle a bit as she lovingly caressed his back head.

"Yes…..but you are my baka", she said before her eyes bugged along with Naruto's when they realized what she had said.

'Ooops…did I say that?'

Naruto had a furious blush on his face as he contemplated her words, c'mon, he was not THAT dense.

"Now do you need a more solid proof as to if she has feelings for you", asked Ayumi inwardly with a grin while Naruto's blush darkened.

Meanwhile Hiruzen couldn't stop his own perverted grin when he saw both of them blushing. He knew just from the hug, that was more to them than just a mother-son relationship and was bordering on incestuous. Though being a veteran and an experienced shinobi such as himself had opened his mind for just about anything, so he had no problem with incest and besides, it was a common practice in some of the clans. But he knew from Itachi's reports that Naruto's DNA had completely changed, so it wasn't even officially incest if they did pursue a romantic relationship from here on. And Naruto deserved love, especially the intimate one. If he could bear the hate of a large village like Konoha, they why couldn't he get smothered in love from atleast ten-fifteen girls. Jinchuriki needed love, plenty of it and in Naruto's case, he desperately needed it.

'Oooh…I've got to tell Jiraiya about this….Icha-Icha-The Forbidden Fruit', he thought as he wiped the blood from beneath his nose before he accidently coughed because of the concrete dust around him, jerking the cute hugging pair apart from each other, pink tints on their cheeks, while the professor cursed the dust under his breath. Meanwhile Kushina wondered, when did it come to this. They were here to officially kick Hiruzen's ass and now they were hugging in front of the old pervert. Her eyes widened….

'Oh no..', she snapped her head back to see a knowing grin on his face, a groan escaping her lips. Great, now he would constantly tease her & Naruto about each other. Though her mood immediately darkened when she remembered the main reason they had come here, she could spend time with her Naruto later. Wait…her Naruto? When did it come to this…though now she remembered that he had been 'her Naruto' all along whenever she thought about him, while a small blush dusted her cheeks unseen by Naruto but the old all-knowing professor had seen it, but decided to keep it to himself, he would tease her later. But right now, they had other matters to discuss…and he had to know how was she still alive.

"Naru-kun..", she said while Naruto looked at her, "….can you give us some privacy, I need to talk with the old man here", she said while Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Why? I deserve to know everything...are you gonna keep secrets from me too?", he asked with a hurt voice, did she considered him an immature loudmouth child? Kushina turned her head and smiled warmly at him.

"No….you deserve to know everything Naru-kun and I'll tell you everything, but right now, I want you to go to your apartment and rest there…I also have to deal with others along with the old geezer here. Trust me Naru-kun…..Please?", she said with a smile, her violet eyes lovingly staring at him, a pleading look in them while Naruto just couldn't resist her, he was completely vulnerable to her cuteness. He sighed before nodding, however a devious grin took place on his face, one that Kushina didn't like but it sent a shiver of excitement down her spine. Slowly stepping close to her, he leaned in close to her ear, making her blush.

"Have fun", he whispered before kissing her cheek, and did something that it left even Ayumi slack jawed. He pinched her butt cheek making Kushina yelp in surprise, developing several shades of red on her cheeks as her mouth hung open in shock, as she watched him blink innocently. She couldn't found anything to retort, he had found her completely unprepared for this, but she can't say that she didn't enjoyed it.

"Kaa-san, Hokage-sama….Ja Ne!", he said with a grin, practically glowing before to Hiruzen's shock his body slowly turned/froze into ice, before it cracked and the broken ice particles fell on the floor while Naruto was nowhere to be seen.

"Wh-Where is he?", asked the Hokage with a concerned expression while Kushina still couldn't get rid of her blush, but answered him nevertheless.

"Ice Shunshin", she said before regaining her composure, having gone through his memories, she knew all about Naruto's training with Itachi and was proud, and herself was left bug eyed when she saw his progress in just two months.

"Now old man…..let's call the council shall we? I want to settle this right now", she said while flaring her sky blue chakra.

" But…Kushina-chan, you can't be serious! At this time-"

"DON'T, try my patience old man…I'm warning you….I'm in a very foul mood right now, and thank Naru-kun that he saved you before", she said with narrowed eyes, eyes full of hate while Hiruzen too was sweating bullets. Kushina was always like a daughter to him, so he knew that she wouldn't hurt him that badly….right? He knew that he wouldn't be able to stand up to her in a fight, even if he was in his prime, he would still doubt himself and with the addition of Sharingan, only Kami knew how strong she was now. The only thing he could do now was silently nod, oh but atleast there was one good thing to come out of this…..he would thoroughly enjoy the ass kicking that annoying civilian council along with his teammates & Danzo gets.

"And what's with the commotion in the village?", she said with so much authority that Hiruzen was thinking that he himself was talking to the Hokage while he was a genin.

"Hoka…I mean Kushina-chan….it would seem that someone has kidnapped Uchiha Sasuke, son of Uchiha Mikoto…most probably by Orochimaru", he said with a grim face while Kushina eyes widened ever so slightly.

"I see…well that boy was a lost cause anyway", she said with off handedly while Sarutobi's couldn't help but agree with her, lately that boy had been getting out of control and the curse seal just gave the last Uchiha the final push into the darkness.

"And what the fuck is this about the council anyway? This is a dictatorship old man….how can you give them so much power to start with anyway…they are supposed to be your advisors, they absolutely CANNOT make any decisions. You're the one who should have the final say…and you couldn't do flying fuck to help Naru-kun, you may have tried…but you failed desperately", she hissed with her anger rising with each word while Hiruzen could only sport a guilty expression on his face.

"Keeping him away from Kurenai, Anko, Yugao & Hana…what the fuck were you thinking? Giving him such a crappy apartment….atleast you could've made sure that he ate something nutritious….something BESIDES ramen….you could've bought him, if not gifted him some decent clothes, which you only did recently in the chunin exams…..but atleast your intentions were good and for that, I'm willing to forgive you IF you make up to Naruto somehow", she said with anger boiling in her violet eyes while Hiruzen nodded with a saddened expression.

"Hai…that's why I sent Itachi to train him…make him activate the Rinnegan if there was even a possibility. All these years I've been trying to somehow protect, but every thing I did, it somehow back fired on me. But still, I would try to make up to him", he said with a solemn expression while Kushina could see the honesty in his eyes. A small comforting smile grew on her face as she gazed at his down expression, she knew what the old guy had went through his shinobi life. Having lost his two sensei, one of whom deliberately sacrificed himself to save him & his comrades, he must have been burdened by that fact. Then his wife Biwako dies when she was helping Kushina give birth to Naruto and lastly Orochimaru, one of his favourite students turned out to be a traitor. It must be hard for him to get over all that and still rule over a large village such as Konoha.

Slowly approaching him, she hugged him gently while a small smile graced her beautiful flawless face.

"Although it's been a few hours, but still it's good to see you…I know you tried everything to do what you could…..but still thank you for caring for Naruto even if the results didn't turn out the way you expected. He's angry with you right now, but I can tell that you are very precious to him, so just give him some time. He has the most kind heart I've ever seen in someone….", she said in a comforting as she patted his back, her father-like figure while a lone tear escaped Hiruzen's eyebrows.

"And I'm sorry about earlier for bursting like that…but when it comes to Naru-kun, I just can't control myself. But if you still want to help him…then grow a backbone old man, show them that you're the professor, the one who fought through two great shinobi wars, the teacher of the three legendary sanins. You can't let the council do whatever they want….where's that will of fire which I saw in you when I was a kid. Your eyes…back then exuded confidence and a raging, but controlled fire in them….but now, they are dull, almost empty…don't tell me that you're giving up", she said in a soft voice still hugging him like a daughter did to a father.

"I'm just tired Kushina….I just want all of this to end, I've seen so much in this world….there's nothing left for me…..I don't think I can go on any longer", he said, his voice like that of tired, broken soul, a few tears escaping his eyes as Kushina hugged him tightly.

"Don't give up…EVER old man. What would we do if you…the leader gives up…what would your sensei say now if he were to watch you this broken. You promised the Nidaime that you would never let the will of fire distinguish right? Are you saying that you're just ignoring his last wish. And what about that Danzo….are you proving him right? Are you weak?", she said forcefully making his eyes widen as he remembered his sensei's last words as well what Danzo had said to him when he became the hokage.

'Saru….You must protect those who have faith in you and who love the village, and train up those to whom you can entrust the next generation...because tomorrow you will be…Hokage'

'Hiruzen….you don't have what it takes to become the Hokage. A pacifist has no place in the world of shinobi….you can't force your idealism onto others….self-sacrifice is a shinobi's true worth. .weak…Sarutobi'

'Sensei…..arigatou', thought Sarutobi as a few tears escaped his closed eyes, streaming down his wrinkled face. He snapped open his eyes, which were now shining with determination, like they had succumbed themselves to long years of undisturbed slumber.

"Thank you…Kushina-chan…for reminding me just who I am. I guess I had forgotten myself…forgotten my dreams…forgotten my sensei's last words to me…forgotten that I had to prove Danzo wrong….but now I will do just what I should've been doing these past years", he said, the will of fire burning in his heart as bright as ever. Meanwhile Kushina couldn't help but smile at him before she released him from the hug, she could see the fire in his eyes now….that old dull reflection was gone, replaced by the azure bright flames.

"Kushina-chan….undo the barrier", he said in his authoritative tone, one Kushina knew so well when he was in his prime as a Hokage. Mock saluting him, she undid the barrier while Hiruzen went through a couple of hand signs before slamming his right hand on the ground while pouring large amounts of chakra.

"Kuchiyose No Jutsu (Summoning Technique)"

The area was covered in a large smoke before it cleared to show several small monkeys with one being slightly smaller than Sarutobi, all of them surrounding him, each having Konoha's headband on a limb.

"You called Sarutobi-sama?", said the biggest of them, his hair grey with him holding a staff while Hiruzen looked at him with a serious expression.

"Sarutsuko…I want to you & all of you, to track down Hatake Kakashi and inform him that under my orders, he is to stop searching for Uchiha Sasuke. And also ask him to tell everyone else to do the same", he said while others nodded before vanishing in blurs as they began to track down Kakashi.

"You're abandoning the search? You know that the civilians would be on your ass for this right? Especially your teammates…", said Kushina with a smirk as she knew what was coming.

"That's right….and I dare them to try. We've already licked the boy's boots enough…and that's why this has happened today. I don't care if the village loses the Sharingan, so far it has brought nothing but curse to this village. Besides….you & Itachi already have the Sharingan, and I have a hunch that if he wasn't kidnapped, he still would've left the village someday to track down Itachi", said Hiruzen with utter seriousness in his voice before he turned towards the exit.

"Come Kushina…it's time we teach those council idiots just whose the one running the village here", said Sarutobi before he exited the door followed by Kushina, who had a sadistic smile on her face.

Hi No Kuni-Unknown Location-Orochimaru's Hideout

"Kabuto-kun….heal Sasuke-kun as fast as you can…it's about time that I give him the power he so desires. For Naruto-kun….I have other plans though..", said the snake sanin in a dark room while you could see, if faintly Sasuke's bandaged body lying on a old wooden bed, visibly more advanced medical setup surrounding the battered body of the last Uchiha.

"Hai Orochimaru-sama", said Kabuto with a smirk as he started to prepare for his forbidden medical techniques.

'For now….Sasuke-kun would do…but you're the ultimate prize here Naruto-kun…kukuku….with the legendary Rinnegan, even the leader of Akatsuki wouldn't be able to stand up against me, let alone Itachi. And with Tsuchikage agreeing with the 'Crush the Leaf' plan, along with two jinchuriki's along our side, we are unstoppable', he thought with a cruel smirk as he watched the unconscious Uchiha lay motionless in the dark room, faintly lit by the candles.

Konoha's Streets

"Hmm…what do I do? I'm bored and I don't feel like going to my apartment so soon", groaned Naruto as he kicked a pebble, his hands behind his head as he leisurely walked. The streets were by now empty seeing as it was by now late at night, along with the orders of the Hokage, no civilian was to leave their home tonight as the last Uchiha was kidnapped.

"Though I do wonder…what is this fuss all about?", he pondered as he idly kept walking under the brightly shining full moon.

"If you're bored Naruto-kun….you can always come to me", said Ayumi seductively while Naruto blushed a bright red as he found her voice to be extremely arousing.

"P-Pervert…", he said a bit weakly while Ayumi huffed.

"Like you weren't feeling up Kushi-chan & that Kurenai woman when you were hugging them but you won't even touch me", she said with an accusing voice while Naruto's blush darkened whereas Ayumi giggled quietly, oh how easy it was to embarrass him, and it made him look so cute every time she did that.

"I-It wasn't like that dattebayo! And what about the first time when we kissed!", he said before his eyes widened at what he said while he inwardly groaned.

'Oh shit…', he thought he could feel Ayumi practically grinning like a fox, though he couldn't see the blush on her cheeks. True, that was the most amazing thing he had felt…and he couldn't help but remember that kiss from time to time.

"Oooh…so you remember that huh? Well I too enjoyed that Naruto-kun…do you want to do it again?", she asked with such an innocent voice that Naruto almost complied to it.

"S-Shut up Ayumi!", he exclaimed with a furious blush while blood seeped down his nose as he immediately wiped it.

"So you don't want to kiss me? Am I ugly?", she said with fake sadness in her quivering voice making Naruto's eyes widen.

"No! Ayumi-chan…it's not like that! You are very beautiful'ttebayo", he said frantically as a cute blush sported Ayumi's cheeks.

"Hmph…you're probably lying…", she said with feigned hurt in her voice making Naruto more anxious. He couldn't bare to hurt her, he probably himself didn't know how precious she was to him. She had tried to help him since he was a child…she had done everything she could do and he too wanted to give her anything she wanted, he wanted to make her happy, he liked to make her smile, he liked her smile and sometimes that beautiful face of her was just irresistible though he wouldn't ever voluntarily admit it.

"But…how can I prove to you? I'm really saying the truth", he said as he stopped in the middle of the streets while Ayumi patted himself for the job well done.

"Well…hmm…you could always take me out for a date….you did said you like me right?", she said in a hopeful voice as her heart started beating faster, her breathing momentarily stopped as she waited for his answer while Naruto's cheeks flushed.

"O-Oh...yeah, I do like you very much…so I'll be happy to go on a date with you, but wouldn't it be cheating if I go with you…because well…I also have a date with Kurenai-chan….and Hinata-chan…Kaa-san too….Kin-chan", he trailed off with a blush as those names automatically came to his head while Ayumi giggled cutely.

"Oh Naruto-kun….you're so naïve…have you forgotten that you are to have atleast ten wives, so you are allowed to pursue multi-relationships…..so would you take me out for a date?", she again asked as she awaited his answer with bated breath.

"Oh right…I almost forgot hehe….I'll be glad to go on a date with you Ayumi-chan", he said with an inward smile.

"Yessss!", Ayumi whooped quietly, "I'm going on a date with him…awesome!", she whispered to herself.

"Huh…you said something Ayumi-chan?", said Naruto while Ayumi immediately stood straight.

"Huh…no I didn't said anything Naruto-kun", she said in such an innocent tone that Naruto felt hard to believe that she had almost destroyed this village thirteen years ago.

"But….how would we go on a date if you're trapped inside the seal?", said Naruto with a disappointed sigh, he was really forward to this date. And secretly he was hoping, a small part of his mind as well as his heart, that he could again kiss her.

'NO!..Gosh..I'm becoming a pervert…it's all Ayumi's fault anyway…but…still it wouldn't be bad for just one more time', he thought with a blush on his face.

"I have a way around that Naruto-kun..but first, push a little of your chakra into the seal", she said while Naruto just shrugged. He trusted her completely, so closing his eyes, he concentrated as he pushed a bit of his chakra into the seal. The next thing he heard was-

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu"

His eyes bugged out anime style while his jaw crashed into the dirt when he saw Ayumi standing in front of him, as beautiful as ever while the moon light shone over her unblemished skin. She was in dark blue kimono, while a major part of her cleavage was revealed which made Naruto almost die in nosebleed.

"A-Ayumi-chan….what the..", he trailed as he pointed his trembling finger at her giggling form, his face pale like he had seen a ghost.

"Ehehe…you should see your face Naruto-kun…so, how do I look?", she said before whirling around playfully while Naruto just watched her dumbly, before he wiped the red hemoglobin down his chin….well, it was definitely her answer.

"But how…", he said while she smiled at herself proudly.

"Well I had this theory that…since shadow clone divides a user's soul, and seeing that when earlier you used it, it also divided my soul, I had this great idea. What if 'I' performed the jutsu but used your chakra?", she asked with a grin while Naruto's face lit up like a Christmas tree as he immediately understood what she was trying to tell him.

"Awesome Ayumi-chan! So you're telling me that by using my chakra, and YOU performing the jutsu…you could manifest your soul's physical form outside here, right?", he said with his eyes shining brightly while she nodded enthusiastically. So excited was he at the prospect of her somehow escaping the seal, that he immediately took her in a crushing hug.

"Oh Ayumi-chan, I'm so happy…you no longer need to remain confined in that seal", he said while rubbing his cheeks with her cheeks fondly, a large grin on his face while Ayumi blushed a bit before a perverted grin came across her face. Naruto's eyes snapped wide open when he felt Ayumi sensually running her hands over his chest and six-pack , but not overly muscled abs.

"Oh Naruto-kun…", she sensually whispered or more like it sounded like a moan making Naruto blush furiously as he felt her hands roaming over his body.

"A-Ayumi-chan….s-stop", he stuttered, his face flushed but it looked like that she had no intention to stop any time sooner.

Konoha-Council Chambers

"What's the meaning of this? Calling us at a time when we should be searching for Uchiha Sasuke?", said Homura sporting an impatient look on his face while Komura too looked to be annoyed. The chambers were filled with murmurs mainly from the civilian side whereas the shinobi clan's leaders sat in silence, silently wondering what did their leader want at this time, except for Shukaku who was outright sleeping on the table.

The council chambers opened for them see the familiar face of their Hokage, but they weren't prepared for the next person that followed Hiruzen. All of their jaws dropped on the table, their eyes wide while their faces were pale, as if they had seen a ghost.

"K-Kushina-sama!"
