Sage of Fanfiction-Assorted challenges

Kushina held onto Naruto tightly as she caressed his back, tears flowing from her eyes. For years she had thought that her child was dead, and here she finds him, in the village she had founded underneath the ruins of her old one…alive…a Jinchuriki.

She couldn't begin to imagine what her baby had suffered in Konoha. She knew how the villages mind set was; they hated and despised anything, and everything that was considered inhuman. It was ironic, especially since they worshipped the pinnacle of inhuman things…bloodlines.

She stroked her son's hair and whispered soothing words, "Shhh, shhh…it's alright Sochi…Kaa-chan is here now." she tightened her grip on him, "And nothing is ever going to take you from me again."

Naruto sniffled as he held onto her, fearing that if he let go, he would lose her forever.

Meanwhile, Souken and Houshu were standing in the doorway, looking at the touching scene before them.

Souken could not help but smile at the scene before him, 'The love between a mother and son. There are few things more precious than that.' he smiled as he left the room, clip board in hand.

Houshu was split…on one hand, the scene before her was absolutely touching and adorable…on the other hand, 'Oh come on!!! I finally get a hug from Kushina-sama and this happens!!! NO FAIR!!!' she inwardly pouted and glared at the blond, while on the outside her face kept twitching between a warm smile, to an obsessive stare directed towards Kushina.

After five minutes of them letting their tears out, the two finally separated…well, Naruto kept a firm grip on Kushina's arm, but they were no longer hugging quite as tightly.

Kushina wiped the tears out of her eyes and turned towards Naruto, "So, sochi…how is it that you managed to get all the way here to Uzu?" she suddenly flinched as she saw the pained look in Naruto's eyes, before he turned away in an angry snarl.

"That bastard Oji-san lied to me, I found these" he held up the papers, "in his office and ran away from that fucking hell hole."

Kushina stared at Naruto…then narrowed her eyes, "Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, do not…" she was cut off as Naruto shouted.

"I am not a Namikaze!!! I will never take that assholes name!!!"

Kushina's eyes widened, "Naruto…how could you say such things about your father?"

Naruto opened up his palm and pulled out the letter he found addressed from his father, "Read this…and you will know."

Kushina took the letter and unfolded it. The writing was a little smudged, most likely from water damage. But the contents were still readable…

Outer wall of Uzugakure

The guards were seated around a table, playing cards. One guy smiled, "Well guys…looks like I…"

"WHAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!" they all jumped as they heard an incredibly large yell coming from the hospital, which was quickly followed by enough killing intent to kill small animals…if the sparrow that just dropped dead was any indication.

All of them had one thought…

'Oh shit!'

Back at the Hospital

Kushina was clutching the paper in her hand so tightly that her nails cut through it and sliced through her palms. Blood dripped from her hands as she grit her teeth so tightly that the tip of one of her canines broke off, and her eyes could have easily been mistaken for a devils, as they glowed with an absolute undying hatred.

'Damn you Minato! How dare you do this to our…NO, he is not your baby…how DARE you do this to MY BABY?!' she hissed in hatred as she glared at the paper, 'If I see you in the next life Minato…I will make you suffer for all of eternity!'

"K-kaa-chan" Kushina turned around…and instantly felt terrible. He was shivering from the amount of KI she was letting lose, and his eyes were filled with morbid terror…

Terror for her…his own mother.

She let down the KI and walked over to Naruto. She reached out to grab his shoulder, only for him to flinch at the contact. She stepped back and waited for a few moments before she walked forward, "It's okay Sochi…Kaa-chan isn't going to hurt you."

Naruto looked at Kushina nervously…a disbelieving look on his face. But when he saw the desperation in her eyes, he scooted over and hugged his mother.

Kushina smiled and wrapped her arm around Naruto, "I am sorry for scaring you my Sochi…but I was just so…" Naruto cut her off.

"It's alright Kaa-chan…I understand." he pressed his head into her body and smiled.

Houshu could no longer help herself, "KAWAII!!!" she jumped over and wrapped her arms around both Naruto and Kushina, "This is such an adorable scene…a mother and her child…"

Kushina chuckled at Houshu's actions, "Alright Houshu, you can let go of us now." Houshu reluctantly let go, and pouted inwardly. Kushina looked at Naruto, "Come on Sochi, let's get you checked out of the hospital. Then I am showing you to your new home."

Naruto seemed to deflate at that, "W-won't I b-be staying with you Kaa-chan?"

Kushina raised an eyebrow, "Why would you ask that?"

Naruto looked down, "B-because my caretaker…said the same th-thing before she put me in my apartment…it was in worse condition than the orphanage I was in before I was kicked out."

Kushina's eyes widened in fury…she knew how bad the Konoha orphanage was. The ceilings constantly dripped whenever it rained. The staircases creaked whenever they were used. The blankets were barely warm enough to keep the children from shivering at night, and the matron workers were only there for a quick buck…and his apartment was in worse condition?!

'Sarutobi, you had better pray I never get enough forces to destroy your village.'

Kushina picked up Naruto and smiled, "Well, I can assure you that will never happen. Come on, let' get you home." Kushina turned and walked out the door.

"Uzukage-sama!" Kushina stopped and turned to see one of her messengers running towards her. He stopped and saluted, "Uzukage-sama, the council has convened, and wish to speak with you."

At the mention of council, Naruto hugged his mother closer as his eyes widened with fear, whimpering as he shivered in Kushina's grip.

Kushina inwardly snarled, 'Is there nobody in that village that looked out for my Sochi?!' she turned towards the messenger, "Tell the council that I will be there soon…I just have to take care of a few things first." she looked at Naruto, "How about we go to get you something to eat. I am sure you are hungry after that long trip here." she walked down the hallway towards the exit.

The messenger quickly left the building and headed towards the council chambers to deliver the Uzukage's message…

With Naruto and Kushina

Kushina was carrying Naruto out of the hospital, humming a tune to herself as she entered the main square outside the hospital.

Almost as soon as she left the hospital grounds, people began whispering to each other.

'It's Uzukage-sama…who is the boy in her arms?'

'Maybe it's her son…she is holding him rather closely.'

'I wonder what happened to the poor boy while he was back in his former village.'

Naruto heard their whisperings and noticed their stares. However…unlike the looks he received in Konoha, ones filled with hate and loathing…these ones were filled with curiosity and…appraise?

Naruto shifted in Kushina's grip, not used to receiving such look, hugged himself closer to Kushina.

Kushina looked down at her son and frowned, 'They treated him so terribly he reacts like this to praise?' she snarled inwardly, 'Oh, I am going to enjoy taking my revenge on Konoha.'

After a short while later, Kushina looked up and smiled, "Okay Sochi, we're here."

Naruto looked up…and found his mouth gape open.

In front of him was a large building, large enough for at least a hundred people. Around it was a large wall that was at least ten feet high, and was obviously well kept. Kushina walked up to the front gates and pressed her hands against the wall. The wall began to crack and slide, revealing a walkway into the compound.

Kushina walked through and looked down at her son, "Welcome to your new home…our home." she lifted him up and held him lovingly as she walked up to the door.

Naruto looked inside as the door opened…he felt his mouth drop.

The entrance way to the home had beautiful stone floors with lush carpeting and spires that spun around like a tall column of spinning water. There was a lovely fountain inside that had the image of some sort of beast. There were many potted plants around the house, some of which looked to be incredibly exotic.

There was a beautiful stone staircase that lead up to the second floor, and on the walls were beautiful paintings of the sea, and other things that one would attribute to the ocean.

Kushina smiled and walked towards the staircase, climbing up it as she spoke, "This home was built from the granite and marble that held together the palace of the original Uzugakure. I used the granite to fashion the walls, and the marble the designs in the walls as well as some of the decorations…it is the last remaining piece that shows the royalty of Uzugakure."

As Naruto looked at the walls, he saw etchings of sea beasts and warriors throwing water and wind around as if it were a part of them.

Kushina finally stopped in front of a doorway and looked at Naruto, "I don't know why I built this room…but for some reason, it just felt like it was the right thing to do." she smiled warmly, "Now I know why…" she kissed Naruto lightly atop his head, "It was Kami-sama giving me a message telling me that you were alive." she opened the door and walked inside…revealing what she meant.

Inside there was a bed for a small child, a few toys laying about, and even a small bookcase filled with various story books, and on the side, a small desk with coloring books and colored pencils.

Kushina set Naruto down, who was staring at the room with widened eyes…not believing what he was seeing. He looked up at his mother, "T-this…is…mine?"

Kushina nodded and smiled, "Yes Sochi…it is."

Naruto slowly walked around the room, taking in his surroundings. He walked up to his bed, gazing at the sheets. They were pristine, clean…not thin, dirty and moth eaten. The bed was also well made, rather than looking as if it would collapse at any moment. He walked over to the toys…back in the orphanage, he was never even allowed to look at toys…and now here…he had a collection of toys of his own. He gazed over at the bookshelf…he had taught himself to read from dictionaries and leftover encyclopedias in the dumpsters, he had never before held a book for a child. He gazed at the drawing books and colored pencils…luxuries reserved for those who had loving parents.

Everything he had at one time desired…was now his…

Kushina was suddenly embraced by a sobbing Naruto who was clinging to her for dear life. She picked him up and cradled him in her arms, whispering soothing words in her sons ears, "Shhh, shhh…it's alright my Sochi…Kaa-chan will never leave you again."

Naruto continued sobbing into her, holding her tightly as if he felt that letting her go was a greater evil than any he had ever suffered.

After a half an hour, Naruto finally calmed down, and was now just simply clinging to his mother tightly.

Kushina adjusted Naruto in her grip, soothingly rubbing his back, "There, there…it's alright…" she gently kissed his cheek, "Come on…we have to go speak to the council." Naruto flinched in Kushina's grip, which Kushina noticed, "Do not worry Sochi, so long as I am there, nobody will dare lay a hand on you." the conviction in her voice calmed the blonds fears, and he nuzzled closely to Kushina as they walked down the stairs…out the door…and to the Uzukage tower.

Time-Skip…Council Chambers

Kushina pushed open the doors to the council room with Naruto walking behind her leg. She looked around to see each of the council members seated cross-legged as they watched her enter.

The one to the closest right smiled, "Uzukage-sama, so glad you could come. We have many things to discuss."

Kushina nodded her head; "Of course…" she turned towards Naruto, who was trembling lightly behind her. She placed her hand on his head, "Do not worry Sochi, they will not harm you."

Naruto looked up at Kushina, "Promise?"

Kushina smiled and lifted Naruto up, "I promise." she walked over to the only vacant spot and sat down, crossing her legs and placing Naruto in her lap, "So, who might I ask called this meeting?"

Three individuals stood up.

The first was a pale skinned woman with a strong yet slender figure. She wore spiked black armor on her shoulders and her arms and legs. Her eyes were lightly slitted and had a gold tint around the edges of her brown eyes. Her hair was a crimson red.

The second was a tan skinned male with a strong figure. His eyes were covered by his white and red hair, and his body covered in a long cloak that kid his form. He lifted his face lightly to reveal a green eye with red markings around the edges of his eye socket.

The third and final was a pale tan skinned man with long black scraggly hair. His body was scarred along the arms, and his left eye was covered completely. He was a giant of a man, being at least seven foot.

Kushina looked at them, "May I ask why you three saw fit to convene this meeting?"

The giant man was the first to speak, "Uzukage-sama, we are concerned with your proclamation to have every shinobi of Konoha be killed on sight. While personally I do not like Konoha…to be truthful I hate it after what they did to me and my clan" he unconsciously reached up to his covered eye, "But nonetheless, Konoha is far stronger in numbers than us. Do you think it wise to basically declare war on them?"

Kushina looked at the giant man, "After what they did to me and my Sochi, I would like to make alliances with Iwa and Kumo if it meant bringing Konoha to its early grave." this proclamation shocked the council.

A figure stood up and spoke with a feminine voice, "Uzukage-sama, you can't be serious…Kumo I can understand, but Iwa?! They destroyed the former Uzugakure because they wanted to gain our power, and you would consider an alliance with them to destroy Konoha?!"

Kushina turned to the figure, "Indeed that is what I mean. I would love nothing more than to make that village suffer for what it has done to my Sochi."

The red haired woman spoke up, "Might we ask Uzukage-sama, what did Konoha do to your Sochi?"

Kushina snarled, "Knowing how Konoha works, a better question to ask would be…what didn't they do to my Sochi."

The woman quirked an eye, "I…don't quite understand."

Kushina sighed and looked up, "Konoha feels as if all things of demonic origin need to be cleansed from the land as if it were a plague. Even when it was not their concern. My Sochi is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko, a demon that killed hundreds of their forces. How do you think they would have reacted to him because of his status as the Jinchuriki of the demon who killed their loved ones?"

The council flinched at the tone Kushina gave them…it was obvious that they understood what Naruto must have gone through.

Naruto looked around…then back up at his mother, "Uhm…Kaa-chan, who are they?" he said pointing to the councilors.

Kushina looked at her son…and smiled, "Well, I see no harm in introducing you to them…" she looked at the council, "Wouldn't you all agree?"

The giant man smiled, "Why yes, I believe that would be alright." he did a short bow, "My name is Alpha Naiuddo…head of the Naiuddo clan."

The red haired woman smiled, "I am Kijo Ryoushi…head of the Ryoushi clan."

The cloaked male who had also called the meeting spoke, "I am Haka Kaguya…head of the new Kaguya family."

Th cloaked female removed her hood…revealing her oddly formed skin, "I am Nuime Shitai, head of the Shitai clan."

The others introduced themselves…some of them had names that he had heard around Konoha like Aburame, while others looked like those from the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka families.

The last open to introduce themselves was a thin man with a strong build, and wore blacksmiths clothes, "I am Kyoraku Kusagana, head of the Kusagana family, the only clan, besides the Uzumaki's, left of the old Uzugakure."

Naruto looked between them…then looked up at his mother, "Why are there people from a Konoha clan here…why do they look like they are from a Konoha clan…and do any of them have cool abilities?"

Kushina smiled, "I will leave that to them to say."

The Aburame, whose name was Shinbo stood, "My clan is actually the main branch of the Aburame family, many years ago our clan broke off from the lesser branch because they grew arrogant, thinking that their Kikaichu would be more than enough to survive. We split off as the lesser branch joined Konoha; we kept our name, as it was originally ours to begin with anyways."

The one who looked like he was from the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka families spoke, "At one time the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka were one clan. But several branches of cousins broke off, forming the separate clans of Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara, each with their own specialty. I am part of the main clan which did not break off."

Alpha spoke, "As for 'cool abilities'" he flicked his wrist, and a vine of black wood shot out of his arm, "Is this what you were talking about?"

Naruto's eyes widened, "Wow…that is so cool!!!"

Alpha chuckled and sat down, "I am glad you think so."

Haka spoke up; "The next order of business is also quite important." he looked at Naruto, "If our assumptions are correct, you used to live in Konoha. But yet you managed to get all the way here to Uzu no Kuni. I find it odd, as there are no transports to this side of the sea…how is it that you got here?"

Naruto sighed and looked at them, "Well…after I escaped from three white masked animal men, I swam down a river and ended up in a village before I went to Takigakure…"

The next few chapters will show Naruto's journey to Uzugakure, as well as the girls that could be his pairing.

Speaking of which, please go to my profile and vote for Naruto's main pairing, DarkKitsune666 and I will discuss whether we will make it a harem or not.

PM, review, flame with legitimate reasons, until our next update...GOOD BYE!!!
