New chapter…
It hurt him that he wouldn't be able to train the children but in a way he understood. Why would Naruto let him train them when he had been a lousy teacher to him as a child. Still, it would have been nice. Perhaps he could change Narutos mind eventually. It would be nice to train the future uchiha clan. As soon as he thought that he realized something important. naruto was right. He was a fool. It seemed as if deep down the real reason he had wanted to teach the children was because they were sasukes. Naruto must have known and that's why he refused him. He really had a lot to make up for. He would have to figure out where to start though. Just then the door before him opened and sasuke and the members of team Hebi came out. Perhaps he would start with Sasuke. Smiling under his mask, he decided to begin cleaning up the mess that he had made so long ago.
With sasuke…
Sasuke and his team walked out of the interrogations headquarters feeling a bit relieved. Ibiki had been hard on him and Anko had had to be restrained from physically torturing him for what he had done to Naruto in the past. It had come as a surprise to him how much the snake princess cared for the blonde jinchiruuki. Nevertheless , it was finally over and he was about to be escorted to his estate with his team. They were an annoyance but at least they were useful. At the moment however, his mind was completely on naruto. The blonde had changed so much and sasuke was beginning to wonder if he had ever known him at all. While he approved of the fact that Naruto was even more beautiful than ever before, there was also a certain cold precision and ruthlessness in those beautiful blue orbs he had come to love. The blonde radiated with an air of confidence, power, bloodlust, elegance and darkness that he had never had before. Whereas the old blonde was forgiving and meek, this one was vicious and merciless. Sasukes' senses also told him that there was a strong possibility that Naruto was no longer human. That fact made him even more alluring to Sasuke if that was even possible. Then there was the fact that he was now the hokage. To think that he had actually succeeded was shocking to say the least. He had never expected Naruto to actually ever be able to achieve his dream. A part of him felt ashamed that he had underestimated the blonde so badly.
Just then he heard a poofing sound near him and inwardly grimaced when he saw Kakashi appear.
"yo."said the copy-nin jovially.
Sasuke didn't answer , he just kept on walking. Kakashi who had expected it didn't say anything he just began walking beside him as he read his perverted book.
"pervert!"yelled Karin angrily at him but Kakashi just ignored her and continued to giggle.
After a few more minutes of the giggling sasuke finally decided to ask the question that had been bugging him since he came back.
"what happened to Naruto to make him this way and how did that dobe become hokage?" he asked finally.
Kakashi closed his book and looked at him. "that dobe as you put it, worked for his title. As for how he became that way, well Naruto and the Kyuubi merged as the seal was designed to make them do. As for him being a dobe, that was just an idiotic mask he wore in front of everyone to make them leave him alone. After you raped him he was in the hospital for a weak and that was when the full merge took place. When he woke up he decided to drop the idiotic mask that he always wore and just be himself. The naruto you knew was a fake. The old naruto loved ramen, orange and wanted to become hokage. The real naruto doesn't actually like ramen but eats it anyway because when he was younger it was the only thing he could afford and because ichirakus was the only place in the village that would serve him. He doesn't completely hate orange but wears only a minimum amount of it at any given time. The real naruto is an excellent chef and is very knowledgeable when it comes to herbal remedies. The real naruto is also the top seals master in the world and surpassed both his father, who was the yondaime hokage and my sensei Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya of the sannin. Naruto is now technically the toad sannin since jiraiya is dead and is very talented at creating new jutsus. As a matter of fact I think that he has more jutsus in his arsenal than me and he made most of them. He is much stronger than me and much smarter than shikamaru. The real naruto is a genius who hid his true skills from everyone sasuke. The real naruto is the most powerful hokage we've ever had." he told him bluntly shocking the raven haired boy.
"that's impossible."sasuke said in shock.
"no sasuke it isn't."Kakashi said seriously. "we're talking about the number one surprise ninja here. How many times have you seen him take on enemies that you couldn't even touch and win? Do things you couldn't. beat neji with no help from me. Naruto was right about one thing, when he was a member of team seven I neglected him in favor of you and occasionally sakura. I taught you almost all of my jutsus including my very own. The one that you tried to use to kill him. I taught sakura genjutsus and a bit of taijutsu. I only ever taught naruto tree walking and how to use his clones to help him learn faster , which in truth he had already known . Face it sasuke, the dead last has outdone us both. Sakura is now a renowned medic-nin but she's nothing compared to Naruto. You , the rookie of the year and uchiha genius and survivor of the massacre betrayed your village and friends for a snake who promised you power and is now in chains as we speak. I mean sure you did fulfill your promise and kill itachi , but what do you have to show for it now? Meanwhile naruto has become the hokage and is renowned throughout the world even more than the rest of team seven combined. He is a national hero in wave and in the land of snow just to name a few places. All over the ninja lands people talk of his greatness even when he was still pretending to be a dobe. We have been outdone by the village idiot." Kakashi said laughing at his own joke.
"hn." said sasuke but angry but resolved . He would never admit it but what Kakashi had just said was true and he knew it.
Naruto had managed to surpass them all . It was a disturbing yet sobering fact. It could not be denied since all he had to do was look up at the hokage mountain to see the new face being added.
The rest of the trip was done in silence since both geniuses had a lot to think about. Kakashi, the words that he had just spoken and all the things that he had learned this morning and sasuke, about the blonde he had so callously abandoned.
Meanwhile the members of team hebi was thinking about all that they had heard ,especially the fact that Sasuke had raped the blonde. While they could all admit that the blonde was indeed stunning, they didn't know that Sasuke had had it in him. Karin was actually fuming quietly at the fact that Sasuke had refused her for some boy. She refused to even entertain the thought that he was gay and convinced herself that Naruto must have tricked him somehow. She made up her mind then to make sure that naruto didn't get in the way of her getting sasuke in her clutches. She had worked too hard and come too far to lose him to some pretty boy.
When they finally reached the uchiha compound and entered it, they were all feeling a bit relieved although for different reasons. Sasuke and team hebi was surprised when , as soon as they stepped on the compound, a barrier came up effectively trapping them inside.
"what the hell is this?" Karin asked pissed off.
The goat anbu grinned under his mask . "a gift from Hokage-sama. He was the one who created this seal that only a select few have been taught how to do. However once its activated, only he and three key figures can actually release it. While we can come in and out at will since we are one of the teams that has been assigned to guard you, only the two teams that's been assigned , the hokage, Sakura-haruno who will be your medical specialist, tsunade in case of an emergency and Kakashi can actually enter and exit these grounds at will. No one else will be able to and not even henging will be able to fool the seal that made this barrier." he told him smugly.
It wasn't everyday they knew something that the uchiha didn't. meanwhile sasuke was both in awe and envy at narutos genius.
Kakashi saw the look of envy on sasuke's face and shook his head. It seems that some things would never change.
"well, I have to go now so later." he said and tried to teleport away.
He frowned when nothing happened.
"only the hokage is able to teleport in and out of his own seals Kakashi-san." said the lion anbu.
Kakashi nodded and then walked off .sasuke frowned as he watched him go. He hadn't gotten a chance to ask all that he had wanted to.

Meanwhile with Naruto…
Naruto sat in his home office and summoned a few of his kitsune elites. They were captains of his royal army and he knew that they were the best of the best. He quickly updated them on his plans and then had seven of them remain.
"Zero, Seiya, Ran I want you all to take a team of seven with a scroll I'm going to give you and go intercept the anbu from konoha that I sent to go pick up the remaining jinchiruukis. You are to remove their memories of the mission and then let them returned un harmed. As for the scrolls , hand it to the jinchiruukis when you meet them so that they'll know you're not lying. You will bring the three jinchiruukis here without being seen as fast as possible. No one is to even be aware of your presence but the jinchiruukis themselves. The Akatsuki wants them , make sure they fail. dismissed." he said and the three of them bowed after picking up the scrolls and teleported out.
Then he turned to the other three. "kyo I want you to take a team of twenty and go to the land of wave and protect it. You will meet up with a man named Tazuna or inari his grandson. There location is in your missions scroll of course. Also stay hidden from everyone else unless it becomes necessary. There is also a clan there by the name of uzumaki, keep an eye on them for me please and report anything suspicious back to me. Feel free to call for aid if necessary at any time. Dismissed." kyo bowed and left after grabbing his scroll.
"nanba, you are to take sixty men to suna and go see my brother, the jinchiruuki of shukaku and kazekage, Gaara no sabaku. You will be under his command for the duration of your stay . Your mission is to protect him and his village, but most of all him and his family. They are top priority. Here is your scroll. Dismissed." naruto said and nanba repeated the actions of the previous four.
"Gailon, Feilon You will be here with me as my third in command after mother. I am well aware that the council will be insisting on other bodyguards for me and my family , but you're my chosen ones. You will also be the one who is in charge of palace security when it is completed. Have you found the nine bodyguards that I asked you for?" he asked.
The twins nodded. "yes your majesty . They are awaiting your orders." they told him.
Naruto smiled. "thank you. Please call me naruto, I actually hate formalities even if they are sometimes necessary." he told the other kitsune demons.
They smiled. "I understand Naruto-sama."
"Good." said naruto. "now bring them in so that I can introduce them to their charges."
The kitsunes bowed and then left to go get the nine humanoids that were standing outside the door.
They entered and bowed to naruto before greeting him.
Naruto smiled at them to make them feel more at ease. "thank you all for coming. As you have been informed you have been chosen to watch over and train my children , do you agree.?" he asked and they nodded.
He had already met them before so he wasn't worried . In fact he had just wanted to make sure that they were doing this of there own free will. "well then. All I have to say on the subject is that you keep your tails hidden unless its necessary for you to show them. These humans really hate demons as it is. They have been coming around over the years but will still need more time to adjust. As of now you will be living in my household. As soon as my palace is completed , I will be opening a permanent portal between both worlds for all of our convenience. You are also free to have your families and friends visit you as long as they are not a danger to my family or the citizens of this village. Other than that , if you have any problems please feel free to come and speak with me at your leisure. Any questions so far?" he asked.
Since no one had any, they all left the room and went in search of the children and their nannies.
They found them playing in the pool. As soon as they saw Naruto they all hurried out and ran over to glomp him, heedless of the fact that they were making him all wet.
Naruto smiled and after hugging each of them in turn, turned to the kitsune demons.
"everyone these wonderful people standing here will be your bodyguards and teachers from now on. Now I know that my clones and your nannies have been teaching and protecting you but they aren't enough right now. You will obey them am I clear?" he told the children and they nodded obediently.
Naruto smiled and after doing a demonic ritual that would bind the them together as lord and vassal with their specific familiar, naruto got ready to leave. They were called familiars in the demonic realm since they would be bound to each other until one of them died or the lord released his vassal.
"now I will be leaving you all to get to know each other." he told them. "make sure to behave for your nannies and senseis."
The children nodded and after another round of hugs and kisses, naruto reluctantly left them to get acquainted.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With Naruto…
After leaving the children, he, Feilon and Gailon ran into Kakashi again and by the look on the mans face he knew that the copy nin was finally beginning to understand. Kakashi immediately realized what he was by his stance and backed off since naruto had explained things to them recently.
The copy-nin opened his mouth to apologize again for this morning but naruto shook his head with a gentle smile.
"don't Kakashi, you suck at apologies." naruto said gently. "however, since you tried to , all is forgiven but I wont forget. Now I want you to go get all the councilmen , jounins and chuunins available in my office in an hour. If you're late for the meeting yourself, I'll burn all your icha icha." he said evilly and Kakashi whimpered before poofing away.
"allow me to change since I'm all wet from the children and then we will be going to the office." naruto told them. "you may wear your day uniforms since its similar to the anbu outfit that the humans wear. You wont be needing the mask. The other bodyguards that were selected by the council will begin arriving tomorrow evening along with the other scholars and advisors etc. you may also create the telepathic link in order for us to communicate without the humans becoming aware."
"yes Naruto-sama." they replied bowing.
Naruto thanked them and then hurried into his room to change. After he was through he rejoined and smiled when he saw his insignia on the breastplate of the uniform and smiled. He had truly come a long way. They teleported to his office and Naruto went to his desk and sat down after introducing his new bodyguards to the anbus on duty.
Over the next few minutes , the council , the jounins and chuunins who hadn't already left for a mission began to arrive. He greeted all those that were already present and began to chat with a few of them.
"how is your son doing Kurenai-chan?" he asked.
She smiled . As a mother she was always ready to talk babies. "he is fine but is as energetic as ever." she said proudly. "thank you for all of your support it really helped.
After becoming Hokage , naruto had set up a fund for housing orphans and helping single parents since he understood how hard it was to raise a child on a single income.
He smiled. "good I'm happy to hear that. If you ever need a babysitter or need a break please feel free to bring him to my home. Believe me when I say that I understand. You're both welcomed there at anytime so don't hesitate. I completely understand how hard it is to be a single parent. Thank god for Kage bunshins." he said gleefully.
She laughed as well. "I know. Just this morning I put him down for a second and before I blinked he was gone. He likes to play hide and seek." she told him.
Naruto grinned. "I remember that stage. Now my daughter has learned the joys of explosive clay and is currently trying to demolish my backyard as if it were a battlefield. Thank god she doesn't use the phrase art is a bang cuz it would drive me nuts. I really don't want to be raising a future deidara. I think they use my training grounds more than I do. I was using my clones to teach them but now that their senseis have arrived well I have nothing to worry about." he said happily.
"you're already training them?" said Kurenai in surprise.
Naruto nodded. "yes I am. You see due to my being their mother they are unusually advanced. In other words they develop faster than a normal human child. While they still have the interest of a normal child, they also have very advanced thinking patterns . Think of them as three year olds with the smarts of a six or seven year old genius. Because of this I have had to start their training early. Most clans start training their children at a young age anyway and because of their other status, it is a necessity." he explained.
Most people were wondering what he meant by other status but decided not to ask since it was well known that Naruto valued his privacy. He saw konohamaru come in with his friends and Sai and grinned.
"hey konohamaru how are you?" he asked.
"I'm great boss." the boy said smiling. "me and the others have been training hard . I do plan to take your job soon."
Naruto laughed at that. It surprised most people because ever since he dropped his mask , he hardly ever really laughed. "good. I'm counting on you. I must admit I'm a bit disappointed in you brat." he told him.
Konohamaru and everyone who heard was shocked at that. "what? Why?" he said looking heartbroken.
"its because ever since I became hokage, I hardly ever see you anymore." naruto said surprising everyone. " when we met we made a promise to each other that we would both try to become hokage but when I did you stopped being my friend. In fact the only time I ever see you anymore is when I order you to come see me or give you your missions. I've been waiting for you to come see me so that I can begin training you as my successor for when I retire but you haven't shown up or said anything. I even made a few new techniques just for you and I havent gotten a chance to give them to you since you've been avoiding me. You were the only other person besides iruka and jiraiya that knew the real me before I dropped my mask but ever since I became Hokage you never speak to me. Have I changed so much that you no longer feel comfortable around me? Am I really that different from the boy you used to secretly train with in the forests?" he asked sounding a bit sad.
To say Konohamaru was shocked was putting it mildly. "b-but I thought since you became Hokage and had kids that you wouldn't want to be friends with a kid anymore." he said sadly , sounding a bit confused.
"Konohamaru do you remember the first time we met?" naruto asked suddenly.
Konohamaru nodded not understanding why he asked. "of course boss . But why do you want to know that?"
"what did we talk about when we were alone?" naruto continued, not answering his question.
"um… well we talked about me surpassing my grandfather so that I could be recognized. And we talked about people never really seeing me just my…" and then he realized just what Naruto was trying to say. "oh."
"exactly."naruto confirmed. "you didn't like it that no one saw you as yourself and the fact that they called you honorable grandson instead of your name. yet here you are doing the same thing to me. Regardless of how much power I have or even the titles I go by, I am still the very same boy who taught you the orioke no jutsu underneath it all. Do not define someone or become defined by a mere title, you should be the one to define it. Most people make the mistake of thinking that the title hokage defines the man that is wearing it , but they are wrong. When you put on that hat, you are not only representing yourself , you are representing the people you protect, remember that. Any idiot can wear a powerful title Konohamaru , but it takes a strong and brave person to define and bring glory and honor to it. Do you understand?" he asked.
Konohamaru nodded a bit shamefaced. "sorry Narutonii." he said sadly.
Naruto nodded. "no need to apologize otouto." he said , then an evil smirk appeared on his face and everyone who saw it shivered and felt sorry for Konohamaru. "but since you were being an idiot for three whole years you will be training extra hard to make up for it. You'll be wearing gravity seals instead of normal weights and chakra storing seals. You will be running around konoha fifty times every morning, at lunch and at dinner outside of training. Two thousand push-ups , sit-ups and squats to name a few. By the time I'm done training you, you will be stronger and faster than guy, smarter than shikamaru and stealthier than anko. Which reminds me , she will be the one to sharpen you and team Konohamaru stealth and assassination skills. The last eight pranks you pulled were terrible. I had to do more paperwork because of it. If you're going to pull pranks , don't get caught or cause me more paperwork or you'll pay."
Just then Anko , who had just walked in grinned and licked a kunai. "mmm fresh blood."
Anime tears appeared on poor Konohamarus face as the other two fainted from fear. "narutonii , she'll kill me." he said sobbing.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "alright I'll change my mind on sending you with anko providing you work hard. But if you slack off , you know what will happen right?"
Konohamaru nodded gratefully. Thankful that he had dodged that snake.
Naruto saw his face and chuckled. "I should do that more often ." he said evilly.
By then everyone had arrived including Kakashi and udon and moegi had been revived. As if by magic, naruto got serious and everyone was once again in awe at how easily he could switch roles.
"alright.now that you're all here this meeting will begin." he said seriously. "this meeting is to update you all on a few important details so I'll get to the point. As you all know, three years ago due to an …unfortunate incident I absorbed all of Chiyuuki, whom you all refer to as Kyuubi, chakra and most of her knowledge. Yes, kyuubi is a female. I'm sure that the things I'm about to say will shock most of you but I feel that its time you all were made aware of the facts. The first thing you all need to know is the reason why she attacked konoha. You see bijuus are actually the guardians created by kami herself to watch over the human and demonic realm. They are not completely evil at all and only became that way when they were betrayed by the human they befriended. But you will find out about all that at a later date. Anyway, the reason the kyuubi attacked konoha was because of Madara uchiha (gasps of shock). He used the mangekyo sharingan to put her under a genjutsus and then forced her to attack konoha. Her defenses had been weak at the time as she thought he was a friend and he tricked her. You should also know that the sharingan that you all prize so much came from her as well. It was a gift of friendship to Madara before he betrayed her. (shock again) so now you know how the uchiha came to be. Before that he was a branch member of the Hyuga clan. Anyway by the time chiyuuki broke out of the genjutsus she had already been sealed. So you see , she was a victim too and I can honestly say that not a day has gone by that she doesn't mourn for those that died that day. Anyway, before me, chiyuuki , as the strongest bijuu was the queen of hell and the demonic realm but that is no longer the case. She gave up the position to someone stronger , me. (shock) I am the king of the demonic realm as she was. As such I have duties that I attend to from time to time that concerns the demonic realm but that will not be a problem . I am also in charge of the summoning realm and all kekkei genkais fall under my jurisdiction since they were actually gifts from demons. But enough about all of that, we have more important things to address. In a few weeks the Akatsuki and its army will probably be attacking us since we are causing them so much trouble. The Akatsuki is run by pain , an old student of Jiraiya-sensei and Madara uchiha who is still alive due to the completed technique that Orochimaru also has a version of. As such it cannot be avoided because one of madaras main goal is to destroy the village that shunned him, Konoha. Now none of you need to worry as you will not be fighting. I will using my own army to fight them off and I will also be placing a barrier around this village while the battle takes place. Consider it mine and chiyuukis way of making up what happened that day even if it wasn't her fault. A lot will be happening over the next few months but I have it all under control. Madara and the rest of the Akatsuki will pay for daring to try and use the bijuus as weapons for their own greed. I will be showing them no mercy . I will also say this, if anyone in this room is in alignment with them I suggest you speak up now, because if I find out on my own , you will come to see why I am the king of hell. Danzo consorted with them and paid the price, I will not be so merciful to the next fool!" he said coldly.
"what ? You mean that Danzo was working with the Akatsuki?" said inoichi shocked and Naruto nodded.
"yes, he was and that's not his only betrayal. But now is not the time for that. Anbu , please take Koharu and Homura into custody as well." he said shocking everyone.
"what is the meaning of this!" yelled Homura as the anbus grabbed them.
"we have done nothing wrong." yelled koharu.
"wrong ." naruto said coldly as he pulled out a dairy and two files. " I know that you two were the main reasons for all of the attacks on me as a child. But that is not what this is about. In this diary was Sarutobis report on your activities . This is also a file that I've had a certain anbu compose for me whenever he wasn't on a mission over the last few years. Sai come over here and tell this room all that you know." he said shocking everyone.
Sai nodded. "yes hokage-sama. When the uchiha were alive, Homura, Koharu and Danzo-sama used to meet with Fugaku Uchiha secretly. They would plan the attacks on naruto-sama as well. They were also planning to cause a civil war and take over Konoha. Itachi found out and told the third Hokage. Over the years sandaime-sama had allowed the council to grow in power until they became uncontrollable and began disobeying his orders. He ordered itachi to kill everyone in the uchiha clan that was involved and he did. The only person that wasn't told about the plan was sasuke at the time . That was one of why he survived. That was also the night before the planned attack on the village. The massacre of the uchiha clan was ordered by the sandaime. They wanted to kill the other three as well but they couldn't find enough evidence to pin it to them. Itachi went undercover to the Akatsuki and sarutobi continued to gather information on the three of them. The three also conspired with Orochimaru for the attack at the chuunins exams and I have been sent to meet Orochimaru numerous times by all three of them." he told them all.
Naruto smirked. "thank you Sai. Now Ibiki , Anko I'm sure you will know what to do with the two traitors right? When you're done, they will be executed. Anbu get them out of here and watch them carefully. If they escape you will pay."
The anbu immediately teleported out of the room with them.
"now that that's taken care of, lets move on." naruto said coldly. "are there any questions so far?"
"yes." said a ninja. "how can you be sure that the demons you allow here wont attack us?"
Naruto smiled evilly. "they wont . They will obey my orders. There job is protect me so do not interfere with them." then his eyes grew cold. "however, if you attack them , then they have my permission to fight back. They have no interest in any of you and to be honest most of them would rather not even interact with humans at all as all there experiences with you haven't been exactly welcoming. I suggest for your own sake that you learn to get along with them as it could mean your survival or destruction if you don't."
"w-what do you mean by that my lord?" asked Haruno, sakura's father nervously.
"I mean that konoha and the human realm is currently walking a thin line and that I am the only thing that's keeping you all from being destroyed." he told them all coldly, shocking them.
"but why?" asked Hana, kibas sister.
"its simple hana-chan. The humans have become even more corrupt than demons. You see, demons were created for a specific reason. To guard hell and keep the damned there. What do you think would happen if there were no demons to guard hell?" he asked and most people paled as they began to understand.
"the damned would probably come here." said udon and naruto nodded.
"you see, you all forget how necessary demons are for your survival. Almost every demon that have come here was summoned by one of you. If demons didn't do their job then all the people that you have killed, the rapists , the dead from the last shin obi war would all be here. What do you think would happen then?" he asked coldly. "hell on earth for all of you. Then there is the way you treat jinchiruukis who shouldn't have been created in the first place. You can all try to pretend that you didn't know that it was an innocent child you were torturing but the fact is deep within your hearts you all knew."
Most people looked away shamefaced.
Naruto ignored them and continued. " when the bijuus walked this realm freely, they made friends with and helped the humans by teaching them how to survive. It was their job and they did it well. Unfortunately the humans were corrupt and betrayed their trust, which caused there rage to grow and hate to begin. The first hokage was the worst. After they taught him how to create konoha and gave him the land freely, he betrayed them by giving them to the other nations claiming it was a sign of goodwill when in fact he only told them that they would be visiting these people for a little while. He is the reason why jinchiruukis were made and the bijuus scattered. Konoha started this mess. What the first didn't know was that there were others observing an keeping a record of all there crimes against demon and humanity itself. Creating a jinchiruuki is not only inhuman , its cruel and a crime even in my realm. All the fourth had to do was find the person that summoned the beast and kill them, therefore returning the summons but he didn't. instead in a moment of stupidity and greed he turned his own child into a living weapon and paid for it with his life. In the moment before he died, he realized what he had done and tried to correct it by saying the child was to be treated as a hero, but by then it was too late. The rest you know. As for the people keeping record, we call them the ancients. They are immortal and were the first beings to walk the realms. They are the ones who observe you and decide if they should step in. they also look for a sign from kami that the humans have gone past the boundaries of cruelty or in need of change and it is here. The sign is when a rinnegan user is born. every time they appear, the world takes a major shift. Whether good or bad only time can tell. The ancients also waited for someone else as well." naruto told them , then he broke off and look out the window.
"who?" said tsunade worriedly.
Naruto sighed and looked at them all. "there are two prophecies about this person. Jiraiya was one of the humans who was told of it and there is the full and complete prophecy in the demonic realm as well. Do you know of the prophecy that jiraiya was given Tsunade?"
Understanding dawned when she heard that. "jiriaya once told me of it. He said he was told by the toad sage that he would become a pervert without equal and a ninja of incredible talent. He was also told that someday he would take on a student that will be the harbinger of a great revolution of the ninja world. He said he was told that they would either bring great peace to the world , or destroy it and …oh god. He said that he thought it was nagato because he had the rinnegan, but it wasn't was it? It was you." she said shocking everyone .
Naruto sighed and continued to look out the window. "nagato, or pain as he now calls himself was the first one, the sign as the demons call it . Listen to the prophecy for yourself and tell me. The demonic prophecy goes as follows…
And a child would be born with fair hair and a pure heart,
Born of a human hero in blinding yellow,
and a female maelstrom,
And the child would be sacrificed by his mortal father,
Holding the most powerful of beasts within him,
And abandoned by his mortal mother.
And the shinigami would bless the child and would one day take the child as his own ,
And the very beast he imprisoned would come to love him and he would call her mother,
And as a human child,
He would know pain and suffering second to none,
And would one day forsake his humanity but retain his pure heart.
His change would bring about many things.
And with each passing day,
The child would become more and more beautiful,
His face reflecting his inner heart,
Until he would be too beautiful to be gazed upon,
As his unmatched beauty would ensnare the hearts of men and women alike.
The child would fall in love with another whose heart is as dark as his is pure,
And he would be betrayed and abandoned by him.
And the child would give birth to nine children by the traitor ,
three more to a man with a newly warmed heart,
And five more to a red eyed wolf who would be by his side forever.
And when the dawn rose up,
The child would either bring light or a great darkness upon the land.
And the child would come to a turning point in his life as he mourned the loss of a loved one,
That would help to decide the fate of humanity forever.
Self sacrifice,
a gift out of love ,
Was the gift his love one would give him.
As the childs tears fell ,
Mourning his loss in crimson regret,
Then so would the snow,
As the weather would begin to reflect the emotions of his heart.
If the child chose to protect the human realm,
Then peace would finally come upon the lands.
But if he abandoned it then chaos would reign supreme,
Mothers would cry for their children,
Daughters for their fathers,
Husbands for their wives.
Fathers would sacrifice their daughters and kill their sons .
This child alone,
The child born among crimson regret and tears,
Would lead humanity to a better place or destroy them.
He would bring peace between the humans and demons,
Or seek vengeance for the wrong done to him.
His children would become great and just leaders ,
Or cruel and evil dictators,
There fates would be decided by him,
as he alone would be the beacon of hope,
or the bringer of death and destruction.
And he would be known by many names,
Vessel and son of the Kyuubi,
Child of the shinigami,
Ruler of hell,
King of demons.
Rarest and most beautiful orchid.
Child of the elements.
Beauty in human form.
Demon child.
Champion of the oppressed,
Brother of the toads.
Times keeper,
Destinys' hand.
And his words would warm the hearts of all who heard him,
Or freeze them.
His smile would bring sunshine and hope,
Or death and despair.
One child to rule them all,
One child to change the world,
One child to push back the darkness,
Or one child to bring utter destruction."
After saying all that Naruto sighed again. . "who do you think it is tsunade?"he asked her with a sad smile.
"it all makes so much sense now." said shikamaru. "I always knew you were a trouble some blonde."
"did you know that a demon officially becomes an adult at the age of two hundred and fifty. That means I'm considered a child regent, the youngest to ever rule hell and will ever rule hell. So now you see , I literally have the fate of the world in my hands. It seems that I was wrong after all. Everyone else can change their fates, just not me as whatever I decide can bring about peace or destruction."he said tiredly, then he smiled. "but I refuse to give up or give in. if that is my fate, then I will do all I can to bring peace to the world no matter what. I will be the hope for humanity, the bridge that joins both realms together . I will do my best to make sure that no child will ever have to share the my fate. I am a human sacrifice after all. As for the ancients , I will find a suitable compromise for all. The leaf will have to accept the decision when its made however, or be destroyed." then he laughed. " at least I'll be pretty. I mean what good would immortality be if I was ugly right."
A few people chuckled.
"well enough of the doom and gloom people." naruto said with a smile. "I've known of my fate for more than a year and a half now and its okay. Anyway, in about a week you will see a palace on the outskirts of konoha, do not be alarmed. Its simple my new home since as a king it's a necessity and the demonic council insisted on it as well." he pouted a bit and they all smiled.
"I know that it will be annoying since you will actually be able to get lost in your own home but look at it this way. A bigger home means an even bigger library for you to fill up with your new jutsu scrolls." Gailon said reasonably.
Stars appeared in Narutos eyes just then and everyone snickered at him. The boy really did love creating new techniques.
"well anyway, that's all for today. This meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for coming. Please take the time to think about all that you have learned today and consider it all an sss-rank secret that cannot be released until after the Akatsuki is defeated. Failure to comply will result in a trip to anko with a few tips from a subordinate of mine in hell. Thank you. Before you all leave the building, check with shizune to see if I wanted to have a private meeting with any of you." he said and they all agreed before filing out. "lord Hyuuga please remain here for a moment. I need to speak to you."
