New chapter….

The people all watched as the angry Hyuuga walked off feeling ashamed of themselves. They all returned quietly to their homes and various businesses since they all had a lot to think about. Sakura scowled at all that uncaringly and left for her mothers home, she wanted to talk with her about it all.

With Naruto…

Naruto teleported to his estate and after a quick shower and a quick message to Gaara and his subordinates in Suna, he went to his private office in his home with his two bodyguards. Sending his messages off with a bat demon, he then turned to his two bodyguards and Zetsu who had been waiting quietly.

"alright Zetsu here's what we'll do. I'm sure that you're human side feels some attraction to the human realm while your demon side wants to return home. There is also the fact that even if you didn't know what Madara had in mind you still helped him. You could have tried to contact the demonic realm at some point but you didn't. perhaps it was out of some misguided loyalty to at least stay by the side of the captured bijuus who knows, but at the moment that doesn't matter. Still you are quite useful so I wont kill you but I will tell you that you've brought shame upon yourself and the clan of your demon side. I will however, give you the chance to redeem yourself. You'll be acting as a liaison between the human and demonic realm on my orders since you are from both worlds. I will give you a special pass between both world but for the next few months , until I'm sure that I can trust you, you will be monitored at all times. When you're in the human realm you will be residing in my home and when you're in the demonic realm you will be living with your clan. You'll take your orders directly from me from now on. Do you agree?" Naruto asked.

"yes your majesty." both side said eagerly.

Naruto nodded. "good. Now since you've been in the human realm for quite some time you'll be sent to the demonic realm to stay with your family until the battle is over . Consider it a small break and a time to think over your actions." he told him.

"yes you're majesty." they replied again.

Naruto stood up and nodded to the demonic kitsune twins who immediately opened a portal the size of a regular doorway and allowed two dragon guards to come in .

"the dragons will take you where you need to go." naruto told him as he signed off on a report of what had just happened before handing it to one of the dragons. "you'll be given a pass by one of them later."

Zetsu bowed and then left with the two dragons and naruto turned back to the kitsune twins.

"we'll be entering the space/time warp together for a few minutes. We will be retrieving a few important people. While we are there it will feel like hours or even days but here it will only be about five minutes or even this same moment if I chose to. You wont age or anything while you're there and all you have to do is hold on to me while we travel through it or you could get lost. It will be okay to let go when I tell you to not before. We have about three days boys, lets make them count." he told them and got up.

They agreed and he activated his kekkei genkai and opened the timeline that he wanted to witness and began to travel back in time with the two of them. The two kitsunes were surprised when they found out where they were. They were currently looking at the timeline of Ni yugito, or rather the minutes before her death.

"Are we going to save her before she is completely sealed into the statue with her bijuu?" asked gailon.

"no." Naruto replied, surprising them. "we are simply going to take the bodies of the jinchiruukis after the extraction and replace them with clones. If we save them from the sealing it will be changed completely and affect the future that we're from but if we do it this way , nothing will be changed."

The two kitsunes nodded in understanding and Naruto entered the timeline immediately after Ni Yugito and her bijuu had been extracted and the Akatsuki was gone. Freezing time, he entered the moment and after taking a bit of her blood he created a 'dead' clone of her and switched them quickly. Then he created a clone to carry the body after freezing time around the body itself. He continued to jump the timeline and did the same thing to all the bodies except for Gaaras' and the sanbi since he hadn't been sealed in a human. He knew that the body would have dissipated the minute the sealing was over and melt into the elements again so all he would have to do was resummon it when he was ready. Then he left with the bodies through the timeline and returned to his own time.

Naruto carried them into a large secret room on the same side that jiraiya and the others were on and used the Mokuton ability to create special coffins that would hold them until the right time.

"Alright, I'm going to manipulate time differently around us while I work. One hour in real time will be a week for us until I'm all done with the preparations of these bodies. don't worry, it will only be an hour for your body as it normally would so you'll be fine." he told them.

Then he did as promised after retrieving all the things he would need and began the process. The technique was actually designed by him more than a year ago , when he had decided what to do. It would not only keep the bodies fresh and alive , as if it were in a comatose state, but he would be erasing all the damage that had been done to the body over the years. For example, one jinchiruuki was an old man so it would reverse the aging process on the body to whatever age naruto wanted it to be. He would also use his own chakra and regenerative skills to correct all damages from all the injuries he received since the day he was born.

Naruto turned to the Kitsunes. "none of you are to interrupt me while I work as it is a very delicate process. Am I clear?" he asked and the two kitsunes immediately agreed.

Then naruto turned back and began to work on the first one. Ni Yugito. Laying her body on a table, he unfroze time around her and then activated the Byakugan part of his eyes to look at her chakra coils. Their were still tendrils of chakra left within her body even though they had almost drained her dry and that was a good thing. It would make his job much easier. Examining her chakra pathways completely as well as her body, he found what he was looking for . The damage that had been done to her human body every time she used the nibis chakra.

Then he gathered his healing chakra in his hand, half from himself and half from nature itself and began to flood her chakra coils with it. He added enough to not only fill it but force it to create larger and thicker chakra coils until it rivaled his , before allowing the chakra to settle in and heal her ruptured coils. While the chakra did its work, he used more of his own healing chakra and slowly began to heal all the damage that had been done overtime. There was so much damage that it took a whole nine hours to heal all the damage which led naruto to believe that she was using it quite often or during the fight with Akatsuki she went way past her limit. Then he moved on to her seal that kept the bijuu in.

It was a three layered seal. It was created so that while she could use the nibis chakra for a certain amount of time, she could only ever retain about a quarter of it for herself, effectively making sure that she would never become too powerful to control. The second part kept their minds separate. The third kept the bijuu in until they were ready to remove it and place it in another vessel of their choosing.

He scowled at that and promptly began repairing it so that she would be able to merge with the bijuu the way that Naruto had done with his without killing it. He also fixed the seal so that no one could ever remove it from her except for him or her. The bijuu would also be able to leave and return if it wanted to.

Then he placed another seal on her forehead that would fade away when the souls would return to her and keep her body fresh.

Then he went on to the four tailed jinchiruuki and repaired his body the way he had ni yugitos and began repairing and reversing the effects of aging and the injuries done to his body over the years. He decided to return him to his nineteen year old state, without all the damages of course. Then he began repairing the seal. It was flawed as well since it had placed too much pressure on the body of the old man and was causing him to age rapidly since it was degrading the blood cells inside him. Naruto had learned from Chiyuuki that Jinchiruukis , if they weren't harmed or they didn't use to much of their bijuus chakra, they could live for hundred of years. Afterwards he painted the same seal he had on his forehead as he had Ni. It took him thirteen hours to complete overall.

Then he laid down for a three hour nap before continuing his work.

His next subject was the five tailed jinchiruuki it was a twenty-three year old man by the name of Omi Masanobu. His skin was a bit brittle due to the bijuu within him which appeared to have occurred to whatever special technique he had gotten from his bijuu. Naruto had to work extra hard on his skin to regenerate it after her had made all the repairs on his inner body. His seals' flaw was that it prevented his body from mixing the chakra of his bijuu with his properly and naruto realized that it was a miracle that the man had lived that long. It took eight hours to get it all done and he slept for another five hours before moving on to the one that would be the hardest , the sanbi.

Just as when the kyuubi was sealed, its body became a part of the elements and Naruto would not only need to recall it, but he would have to force it to reform itself without its soul. Since, according to Chiyuuki , the sanbi had a Shikamaru-like personality and was naturally lazy, in all those years he had never gotten around to creating his own humanoid form and Naruto was planning on doing that for him since it would be problematic if a large turtle was walking around Konoha. It would also help since the Sanbi, due to his laziness and refusal to train, still couldn't control its own power properly. Naruto had decided that he would have to change that as soon as he was unsealed. When he had come up with the idea, he had consulted the Shinigami for help and information on it all and the Shinigami had been more than willing to help him out. After receiving all the information that he needed, he had created layers of seal that would help him do it.

The seals would all work in various ways. The first one would recall the essense of the degraded body, the next four seals would be the elements themselves in their pure forms, the next seal would contain the life element which the Shinigami had given Naruto as a gift from the fountain of youth . Just an eye drop full would do the trick. The next seal would be combining all the ingredients mentioned before. The next seal would maintain it all as it reformed the body. Then the last set of seals would compress the body into a humanoid form until it became necessary to return to its animal form.

It would be extremely hard to do as any mistake would cause the body to be flawed or destroy itself. Naruto picked up his things and then left the two kitsunes to watch over the other bodies until he returned.

Then he teleported into the sss-rank part of the forest of death and then made a few clones before creating a genjutsus around the area and then began making preparations. He drew the first seal on the ground in the middle of the clearing he had found, then he flared his chakra a bit, warning all the other animals away from the are for their own safety. They would obey since they would be able to tell that he was a much more powerful predator than they were. Then he had twenty clones surround the seal twenty feet away from it and had another twenty go on guard duty.

He made a few handsigns and the seal on the ground activated. It glowed and he felt the chakra remnants of the sanbi return to the area around the seal in the air and he had his clones , apply the elements all at the same time to create the animal body. Then they had to maintain it until it was formed , taking up almost seventy percent of what was left of his chakra. He wasn't worried though , since he was sucking the Natural chakra out of earth and restoring his own along with his clones . By the time he was finished recreating the body, it was even larger than the Tanuki form of Gaara.

Deciding to get all over with in one fell swoop, he began compressing it into the humanoid form that he had imagined and it slowly began to take the form of a six feet eight inches humanoid male. He was of muscular build with blond hair streaked with read and orange, with violet eyes. He had high cheekbones and an aristocratic nose with thin but kissable lips. (think Raoul am in ai no kusabi with that hair and eye color) when the body was completed, he admired his handy work with a smile on his face. Then he had his clones clean up the area and repair any damage before teleporting back to that special room. The entire process had taken him twenty three hours and he was feeling tired. So as soon as he got their, he did the seal that was needed on his forehead and then with the help of the other two kitsunes, dressed the bodies, before sealing them into their selected coffins and leaving the room. Then he created a seal to keep all intruders out of the room and then decided to use the rest of the week that he had created to sleep after a much needed shower. Since it would only be an hour in the real world, he wasn't worried. He did however, feel the arrival of the first jinchiruuki and sent his instructions to the kitsune captain that was in charge via a telepathic jutsu until he was ready to see them. Then he went off to sleep.

Meanwhile…

In real time…

With Sasuke…

Sasuke and his team was currently back on the uchiha compound. He was currently sitting on his roof outside however, thinking on all that had happened earlier and his mind was swirling with emotions. Jealousy, anger, pride and worry being the most dominant ones. He couldn't believe how easily Naruto had taken down that Akatsuki member and the fact that Zetsu actually bowed to him as if he were a god made it all more unbelievable. How could Naruto be that powerful and command such respect. A small part of him however, felt pride at how far his old lover had come, in spite of everything. The man that he had so callously left behind had come a long way from the loser who ran around in an orange jumpsuit screaming that he wanted to be Hokage someday. Sasuke was willing to admit that he had never expected his dead-last to actually be hokage. He was also angry with himself for not having anywhere near the amount of power naruto had shown and a part of him knew that Naruto had barely even revealed how much he actually had. Naruto was surprising that way and very good at keeping secrets when he wanted to. After all , he had been sleeping with him for years and yet he never even realized that it was all a mask and that the dobe wasn't really a dobe at all. Nor had he learned about the bijuu inside him until after he had left him.

Then there was also the problem with Sakura. If she opened her mouth then he would probably lose any hope he had of ever regaining the lover he had so foolishly cast aside. It was bad enough that he would have to compete with Narutos' new lover, but with Sakura adding more fuel to the fire, he would be in deep shit. He knew that she wanted revenge and he of all knew how destructive vengeance could be. She would do irreparable damage to his chances and Naruto would finally have an even bigger reason to shun him.

Then there was the things he had heard Naruto tell Madara about him being unable to take his eyes. Was that really the only reason he had been spared that night, so that Madara could come and claim his eyes one day? The thought alone made shivers run down his spine and he was thankful that Naruto had placed that seal on him to prevent such a thing. He also wondered if the dobe would give up his eyes so easily and felt a bit happy that Naruto was willing to go that far just to save him. He wanted to kill Madara for what he had done to his family but he also knew that he had nowhere near enough power to take the other man on. After all , this man had been more powerful than Itachi so he would have needed more training and skills too match up to him. It pissed him off a lot to see that Naruto had the ability to defeat Madera , when he didn't. it irked him to admit it, but against Madara, he was weak.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Temari…

Ino had just finished telling her what Sakura had told her and she was pissed. She left Ino and decided to go sort it all out with Sakura after promising to meet back up with her at their local hangout spot when she was through. She walked all around the village and still couldn't find her, finally she got tired since she was currently eight months pregnant and decided to just go meet up with Ino. She would find that pink haired whore later. It wasn't until she was halfway there that she realized that she hadn't told ino to keep it to herself. It was no secret that ino was the biggest gossip in the village with sakura a close second. Just then she heard Anko scream out about Hiashi and Naruto and groaned in annoyance. Growling, she began waddling as fast as she could to Ichirakus .

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile …

At ichirakus…

The rookie nine and their senseis except for Kakashi and team seven, Tenten and Neji was sitting with the older inoshikacho trio, Anko, Ibiki, Genma, kotetsu, ebisu & team Konohamaru were all sitting together socializing and playing poker since they were all technically on leave. They had just finished talking about what had happened earlier with the Akatsuki and teasing hinata for being brave enough to tell everyone off when anko changed the topic.

"So I heard an interesting little bit of rumor from two of the anbus watching over the traitor today. Apparently the hokage has a new lover." she said grinning mischievously .

Everyone except for Shikaku, Ibiki, Shikamaru and a worried Hinata was instantly on alert since they already knew who it was.

"Hmm is that so?" said ebisu as he pushed his glasses further up his nose when he heard that, trying to hide his curiosity when he really wasn't fooling anyone. "does anyone know who it is?"

Ibiki just smirked but said nothing.

Unfortunately for him Anko saw and began bullying him to tell her. " who is it Ibiki , tell me." she wheedled but he shook his head.

"If Naruto hasn't made it public to everyone then its obvious that he doesn't want anyone to know." he told her.

"Oh come on Ibiki please.." she begged but he shook his head.

"Look underneath the underneath." Ibiki replied but said nothing else.

Ino frowned at that. " well lets start eliminating unlikely candidates and then go on from there. It really shouldn't be that hard to figure out." she said.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Well first of all its obviously no longer Sasuke since Naruto seems to hate his guts." said anko.

"Its not any of us , so that leaves the senseis ." said Chouji looking at Guy.

"Its not me." said Guy.

"Its obviously not Kakashi or Iruka-sensei." said lee.

"Is it Sai since he's not here?" asked Kiba.

"No." said Ino. "Naruto has been sending him on lots of missions outside the village so that he'll be exposed to different types of people in order to help him regain his emotions."

"Then who the fuck could it be?" said anko getting frustrated.

Then Kurenai gasped and began to laugh. "oh my goodness, its really obvious." she said in realiziation.

"Who ? Who is it?" yelled anko and Ino.

"Troublesome. Who cares?" Shikamaru said trying to dissuade them.

"He was with him in a meeting this morning so it should be really obvious if you think about it." she said winking at Hinata who was mortified by the fact that she hadn't been able to protect her fathers secret.

"A meeting?" said Anko thoughtfully as she thought back then Ino screamed in joy.

"I get it." she yelled out. "it really is obvious when you think about it . Who is the only person he visits, has tea with, dinner with and is known to actually spend time with other than us. This person also sent him a tonne of baby stuff for his baby shower remember. Heres a clue, Hinata." she said cheekily.

Anko and everyone in the restaurant who didn't were in shock when they realized who it was.

"The hokage is fucking Hiashi Hyuuga from the Hyuuga clan?" she screamed out in surprise.

"Nani?" yelled almost everyone.

"damn you Anko." Hinata thought.

"Sorry Naruto." thought Kurenai and Shikamaru.

"Sorry Hiashi." thought Shikaku.

"You're on your own kid." thought Ibiki of Naruto.

As the rumor began to spread to the other patrons everyone turned to Hinata.

"is it true Hinata?" asked Ino hoping for more gossip.

To there surprise Hinata transformed into the perfect Hyuuga as she glared at them. "it really is none of your damn business whether or not its true. Even if it is or isn't, you will respect my fathers and Naruto's privacy . After everything that Naruto has done for this ungrateful village, he more than deserves it. It really is none of your concern." she hissed.

Everyone just stared at her in shock for a minute feeling a bit ashamed before Moegi began to clap. Everyone else at the table did as well, since it appeared that Hinata was now completely out of her shell. The duck had finally become a swan.

When they had all calmed down Ino got serious. "actually guys we all have a bigger problem than that." she began , then she told them all that sakura had told her and they all just sat there in shock and anger.

Finally Anko said. "so let me get this straight. While Naruto and Sasuke were together, that emo asshole was also seeing sakura on the side and all this time Sakura has only been pretending to still be Narutos friend and she's planning to tell Naruto about it now?" she said angrily.

Ino nodded. "yes. All this time she's been pretending to be his friend and it was all a lie. She obviously hates Naruto for doing what she couldn't, have sasukes babies. Can you believe her?" she said angrily.

"its no wonder she hasn't really been able to visit Narutos house since he gave birth." said Hinata surprising them. "tousan told me that Naruto created a special barrier around his house like the one around this village that keeps out anyone who has malicious intent against him. I thought it was odd that she never visited the children even though she is one of their godmothers but it all makes sense now. It wasn't because she was busy, it was because she couldn't pass the barrier. She only ever saw them when Naruto took them out for walks and even then every time she got near them , they would cry as if they knew she hated them. How could she do this , and worst of all she is already married and is about to start a family with lee.." she said looking in the direction of where lee had been sitting and they all realized that he was no longer there.

None of them had seen him leave and they all sat there feeling guilty when they finally noticed. Guy got up and hurried after him. They all watched him go sadly before turning back to each other.

"So what should I do?" asked Ino. "should I go tell Naruto?"

"Not yet." said Shikamaru. "he is currently planning a war, he doesn't need this right now. It will only distract him you troublesome woman."

Ino glared at him for being called a troublesome woman but said nothing since she felt bad for hurting lee.

"Poor lee." said Moegi. "nobody deserves to be married to a person like that."

They all nodded in agreement.

"well, its all in the pass now and its obvious that Naruto-nisama had moved on if he's with Hyuuga-sama." said Udon. "we'll tell Naruto after the battle is over."

They all nodded and Hinata excused herself to go see her father in order to tell him that his secret was out.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Hinata…

As Hinata hurried off towards her home, she remembered when her father had first decided to inform her and Hanabi before telling the rest of the family. He had called the two of them into his private sitting room for tea.

Flashback

The tea had just been served when Hiashi suddenly said. "Hinata, Hanabi I want to talk to you both about Naruto." he began and the two girls stiffened nervously.

"Of course Father, what is it about Naruto-nisama?" Hanabi said blushing.

It was no secret that she was now a member of Narutos fan club. Even though he was gay, he was still sexy and almost all of Konoha women was a yaoi fan girl. Although they all knew that they would never be his lover, they still wanted him as eye candy.

Hiashi looked at the two of them and Hinata noticed that he seemed a bit nervous which was extremely odd for him.

"Well you all know that I haven't been involved with anyone since your mother died and that has finally changed." he said surprising them. "Naruto and I are now involved and I hope that you two are okay with that. I know that it might be a shock since I've never shown any interested in another man before but please try to understand. With Naruto… its different. Hinata I know that you have always cared about Naruto and I would like to apologize if this hurts you."

Hinata who had been shocked to hear it just smiled. She had began to date Kiba a few months after finding out about Naruto and Sasuke but still there was a part of her that would always love her first crush. But looking at her fathers face she decided that she would accept it providing he convince her that he was worthy of her Naruto.

"Tousan, why do you like Naruto-kun?" she asked surprising him. "What do you like about him?"

Hiashi could tell by the look on her face that his answer was very important to her and so he decided to be honest. "well I suppose that the first time I ever took an interest in him was when he beat your cousin Neji. The odds were all against him , everyone wanted him to lose and everyone expected it. He had his tenketsus pressed and yet he not only managed to get back up but he used the foxs' power without losing himself and managed to beat Neji in front of all of us. He not only beat Neji but he changed Nejis views and got him to stop hating the main house, something that even I hadn't been able to do. He gave you the courage to stand up and fight even when I felt that you were useless. He showed me a side of you that made me realize just what a treasure you are. In his own way he had brought change to all of us and improved our lives for the better even when we all just ignored it. After your mother died , I closed myself off to everyone , even you and became colder and colder with each passing day. Yet when he came before on Nejis behalf and made his request without fear I realized that there was a lot more to him than anyone could ever imagine. As the years went by and we became friends, he kept on surprising me and managed to do what no one else could. He warmed my cold heart once again. With him standing by my side, I've been able to become a better leader but most of all a better father and that's why I like him." he said simply.

Hinata observed him as he spoke and she could see that he loved the blonde, even if he didn't realize it yet. His entire face seemed to light up when he spoke of Naruto and that was what convinced her completely.

Hinata smiled at him and Hanabi nodded. "alright father , I accept your relationship." said Hanabi and Hinata nodded in agreement.

" I accept it as well." said Hinata without any stuttering. "Naruto-kun is my friend and he's my strength so please treat him well father. He has had a very hard life father but perhaps you can make it better."

Hiashi nodded and gave them a genuine but rare smile. "thank you very much Hinata, Hanabi."

The two girls smiled and nodded. "of course father."

end flashback

She smiled to herself as she remembered that day and hurried into the house and down to her fathers study where she knew he would be doing paperwork. She knocked and was glad that they was no one else there when she entered the room.

Her father looked up at her and his countenance softened, something that had began happening ever since Naruto had come into their lives and showed her father her true worth.

"Ah Hinata, come in . Would you like to have some tea with me?" he asked gently.

She nodded and hurried in. "father, I have something important to tell you." she informed him a bit breathlessly since she had run all the way there.

"what is it Hinata?" he asked worriedly. "did someone hurt you?"

She smiled at his show of concern but shook her head. "no father. I just wanted to tell you that your secret about You and Naruto is out. Apparently today Sasuke and Naruto got in an argument of some sort and the anbus heard it and then told Anko. Then they all figured out it was you who was his new partner." she told him.

Hiashi frowned but then nodded. "well it was bound to happen one day. There is nothing we can do about it now." he replied.

She nodded. "also there is something else." she informed him, then she told him all about the problem with Sakura.

Hiashi also agreed that it would be best to inform Naruto after the war was over. Then the two of them spend the rest of the hour drinking tea and talking quietly to each other. Something that had only become possible through Naruto.

Tbc.
