Chapter 7

Disclaimers: I don't own Naruto in anyway shape or form

Naruto was blushing up a storm as these two girls hugged him. 'Um, not to be rude or anything but why are you hugging me?' The girls opened their eyes as he said this and looked at him. The girl on the right had Purple pants and a green top with purple edging on her Anbu armor, the girl on his left was wearing the reverse, green pants and a purple top with green edging in her Anbu armor. Naruto looked at their eyes and saw that the girl on his right had two different colored eyes, the right being a deep purple the left being a brilliant green, the girl on his left had the same eyes but they were reversed, her right eye being the brilliant green and the left eye being a deep purple.

The girls let go of him and the one on his left looked down shyly, blushing lightly and scuffing her foot against the dirt while the girl who was on his right was looking right at him but also blushing. They both looked at each other and nodded, seeming to know what each other is thinking and bowed to Naruto, 'Sorry, but we were just grateful that you saved us.' Naruto waved still blushing from feeling their bodies pressed up against him, 'Don't worry about it, I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, but anyways, why were those Anbu chasing you?' The girls immediately had a sad look on their faces and looked down, 'Someone attacked the Raikage and they posed as us while doing so. They framed us for the crime and now we're hunted by the Anbu because they don't believe we are innocent.' Naruto looked at them carefully through his sunglasses and saw that they were telling the truth.

Naruto walked up and hugged them comfortingly. The girls were surprised and hugged him back. Jiraiya appeared to this scene and saw the Anbu lying on the ground and sighed as Killer Bee came up and raised an eyebrow, 'Yo, impressive kid, you beat a squad of Anbu, not bad for a fool.' Naruto looked up and turned around and the girls looked scared and hid behind him. Killer bee laughed and held his hands out in a 'calm down' gesture, 'Chill yo, chill, Killer Bee ain't one to let this spill.' The girls looked nervous but walked out from behind Naruto and nodded. 'Now Naruto, while I'm impressed that you beat a squad of Kumo Anbu, you need to have more restraint.' Jiraiya said sighing, but secretly planning to get Naruto with those two girls so he could have lots of research material for his books since he could see that the girls were obviously, though discreetly to Naruto due to his cluelessness, looking at him with blushes.

9 Months later…

Naruto and Jiraiya were standing by the gate with the Raikage and Killer Bee and the two girls who had introduced themselves as Lexi, the one with green top and purple pants, and the other was Darian, the girl with a Purple top and green pants. They said they were twins but they weren't born identical. The Raikage, who was incidentally Killer Bee's older brother, A, had taken quite some time to be convinced of Darian and Lexi's innocence. But with help from Killer Bee, they were able to confirm that they weren't the ones who had attacked A. However, due to them growing attached to Naruto they asked if they could join the ranks of Konoha. A, who was aware of their infatuation with Naruto, agreed only if Naruto swore to take care of them, which he swore without hesitation as he had grown attached to them as well, though not as close as they wanted him to be they were satisfied to wait until he grew to love them and had secretly agreed to share him.

'Well Naruto, Darian, Lexi, it's time to head out.' The three nodded and Darian and Lexi turned to the Raikage and bowed saying, 'Thank you for allowing us to go with him.' A nodded smiling, 'Don't worry, just be sure to take care of yourselves and of Naruto here.' Raikage winked at them when no one else was paying attention and they blushed wondering what he was implying. Killer Bee walked up to Naruto and held out his fist, 'Yo, take care lil' Nine, you trained hard so you'll just fine.' Naruto laughed while sweat dropping with everyone else but bumped fists with him nodding as he adjusted his sunglasses. He had already shared his secret with the girls and Bee and they swore not to tell anyone. Jiraiya, Naruto, Darian, and Lexi walked away waving bye to A and Killer Bee who waved back to them. When they were gone, one of A's most trusted Jonin arrived, 'Lord Raikage, shall I follow to make sure they don't get up to anything?' A looked at the man beside him, he was middle aged, had the dark tanned skin that was quite common in Kumo, spiky white hair that covered his right eyes and a permanent bored expression on his face.

'No Darui, stay here, they won't cause any trouble for anyone except those who cause trouble for them.' A said chuckling. Darui nodded and disappeared via Shunshin. A turned around and went back to his office to deal with the worst enemy known to mankind, the only enemy that even his strongest Taijutsu nor his legendary speed only matched by the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his Hiraishin couldn't defeat, paperwork.

Meanwhile outside of Kumo…

Naruto was examining a scroll on the Shinra Tensei,Banshou Tenin,andChibaku Tensei that he had found a week before they arrived at the gates of Kumo…

Flashback no Jutsu!

Naruto and Jiraiya had stopped in a large clearing with a nearby river. 'Ok Naruto, we're gonna stop and rest here for a while, I'll go look for some food and you fill up our water skins at that river, got it?' Naruto nodded, 'Got it.' When Jiraiya left Naruto pulled out the Icha Icha novel he bought and while going to the river he picked up where he left off. He now understood why Kakashi, Hiruzen, and if the rumors he heard were true, Itachi Uchiha (A/N: I was bored) read this book, it was great, but he would never tell anyone that due to his pride. As Naruto was reaching the river the collapsed beneath him and he fell, throwing the water skins, but for some reason his Icha Icha novel stayed in hand.

Naruto landed with a hard thud in an underground tunnel and shook his head as he got up. 'Where the hell am I?' Naruto saw writing on the wall of the tunnel and noticed that the stone wasn't natural. It was hand carved stone, meaning someone was once here. Naruto followed the tunnel and reached what appeared to be a dead end. He was about to turn around when he noticed a circular impression in the wall. He pushed it a bit and it slid back an inch. Naruto was surprised and pushed, moving it a few more inches before it stopped moving back at all. Naruto was confused and leaned on it. He then noticed a perfectly straight crack in the side of the entranceway.

Naruto gave a gentle nudge in the direction on the door and to his surprise it slid in, he pushed it in and when it was open enough he first noticed, to his utter shock, a tomb and a medium sized scroll resting on top of the coffin in the center of the room, then he noticed a notch in the side of the door which he assumed was used to pull the door back into place. He walked in and saw the 'scroll' was actually one of three. They all had writing on them but they were so dusty and old that he could barely read them without the proper lighting. He picked them up carefully and looked around, expecting a trap to be activated. Fortunately he was safe and looked and say the Kanji for Here Lies the Rikkudo Senin. Naruto was shocked and looked at the scrolls and then walked out closing the tomb on his way out.

He reached the way he came in and heard a voice shouting, 'Naruto! Where are you?' Naruto shouted out, 'I'm down here!' Jiraiya found Naruto soon after and helped him out of the tunnel. Naruto explained what he found and Jiraiya used an Earth jutsu to seal the hole while Naruto looked at the scrolls he had found. They were labeled Shinra Tensei,Banshou Tenin,and Chibaku Tensei.

Flashback no Jutsu: Kai

Naruto had begun to learn the techniques in the scrolls but was surprised when he could only open one scroll at a time, and only after he had mastered the one before it. Naruto looked up from the scroll and, holding out one hand, focused his chakra on a nearby rock and he whispered, 'Shinra Tensei.' The rock then flew away from him and he smiled and jumped up in excitement, 'yea, I got it!' Jiraiya, who was watching smiled and walked up, 'Good job gaki, I'm impressed, now you need to master it and then the second and when you master that you can learn the third technique.' Naruto nodded and he felt two pairs of arms wrap around him and he looked behind him to see Darian and Lexi hugging him smiling, 'Good job Naru-kun.' 'Yea Naru-kun, good job.' They both then kissed one of his cheeks causing Naruto to blush and Jiraiya to giggle and look mischievous.

Naruto was unused to all the attention he was getting from Darian and Lexi but he secretly enjoyed it. They started being clingy the second month of his training with Bee, where Naruto had met Yugito Nii, Jinchuuriki of the Nibi, who, ironically, was the most perverted tailed beast. Soon after he met Yugito's adoptive sister, Samui Nii and her friends Karui and Omoi. They all quickly became friends and Karui, Samui, and Yugito became surrogate sisters for Naruto and Omoi became a good friend.

Naruto looked at Darian and Lexi smiling, causing said girls to blush. When Jiraiya turned away the girls pulled Naruto close and pressed their bodies to him and kissed his cheeks again and let him go. When Naruto turned around Darian was winking and Lexi smiling shyly, both blushing, as they walked to another part of their temporary camp. Naruto smiled back, his face just as red as theirs. He sat down and Kyuubi spoke up, 'Looks like somebody is in love.' Naruto blushed and spoke back to Kyuubi, 'W-what? N-no, we're just good friends, that's all!' Kyuubi laughed as she teased him some more and after teasing him for close to an hour she finally left him alone laughing in the seal which Naruto had changed from a sewer to a large valley, with a forest, a field of flowers and a single large tree, and lots of little animals roaming, especially foxes, since Kyuubi loved playing with the kit foxes.

Naruto went to his tent and fell asleep since it was dusk and Jiraiya, Darian, and Lexi did the same. Jiraiya was writing a letter to Kakashi and Tsunade to tell them and the other Genin how Naruto was doing. Darian and Lexi was busy talking. To most they would look like they were talking about nonsense, but in reality, they were actually planning on how to make Naruto fall for them. As they were discussing this Naruto felt a shiver go up his spine, 'Man, I feel like someone's going to do something crazy. Yawn Maybe I'm just tired.' Naruto and everyone fell asleep except Jiraiya as he gave the message scroll to a messenger toad, who took it and disappeared in a puff of smoke. In the middle of the night however, two shadows slipped into Naruto's tent.

The Next Day…

Naruto woke up with a yawn and felt something or rather two things on him. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find Darian and Lexi cuddling up to him under the blanket Lexi on Naruto's left and Darian on Naruto's right. Naruto blushed as he felt them shift in their sleep and wrap their arms around him. Naruto looked at them and saw they had mischievous smiles on their faces and figured they must've planned this. Naruto sighed and shook them, waking them up. They yawned cutely and looked up at Naruto with sleepy eyes and then laid their heads back on his chest and mumbled, 'Five more minutes Naru-kun.' Naruto sweat dropped and substituted himself with a random rock outside and heard the girls say, 'Awww!' in disappointment.

Naruto sighed and shook his head, but smiled softly. Then he turned to Jiraiya who was chuckling silently and had an annoyed look, 'You knew they were in there, didn't you?' Jiraiya burst out laughing while nodding his head. Suddenly a rock flew and hit Jiraiya square between the eyes and then Naruto burst out laughing at his prank, using his gravity manipulation to throw the rock at Jiraiya. Jiraiya stood up and shouted, 'You little brat, why did you do that?' Naruto laughed even harder as he said, 'Hahaha, because it was funny as hell!' Jiraiya walked up and slammed his fist down onto Naruto's head, causing him to hit the ground, but soon he puffed in a cloud of smoke and Naruto was laughing in a tree nearby as the girls came out to see what was so funny.

When they saw the red mark from the rock hitting Jiraiya between the eyes they also started laughing, already figuring out what happened. Jiraiya was sitting on the ground in the fetal position with a storm cloud hanging over his head as he poked the ground with a stick saying, 'You kids are cruel.' A few minutes later they were eating breakfast like nothing ever happened. Jiraiya finished first and looked at the group, 'Ok we have two more years left for your training Naruto so we have to make the most of it and get you as strong as possible.' Naruto nodded and put his sunglasses on as he had finished soon after Jiraiya and he stood up stretching, 'Ok ero-sennin, let's get moving.'

Jiraiya nodded and took the front as Naruto as well as Darian and Lexi each pulled out an Icha Icha novel and began to read. Naruto and Darian were into the book but Lexi kept glancing up at Jiraiya since she was embarrassed to admit that she liked the series as just as much as Naruto and Darian. Darian would only admit that she liked the series to whoever noticed and only Naruto and Lexi noticed so only him and Lexi knew. Naruto sensed Jiraiya about to turn around so he hid the book and so did Lexi and Darian. Jiraiya looked at them and said, 'Look out over there.' Jiraiya pointed and Naruto looked out and saw a group of people who were traveling like them and Naruto spoke out, 'Cool, are they traveling like we are?'

Jiraiya shook his head, 'No, those are nomads, they move from place to place having no real home for one reason or another.' Naruto looked at the tribe of nomads and noticed that they were heading in the same general direction as them. Naruto judged when they would meet and it seemed they would meet in about 20 meters ahead of where they were then. A few minutes of slow travel passed and the nomads had pulled their group up and traveled alongside Jiraiya's group. The nomad's leader and Jiraiya began to talk when Naruto accidently bumped into a woman with long red hair, 'Oh, sorry miss, I wasn't paying attention.' The woman looked at him with her violet eyes and smiled, 'its alright young man.'

The woman then looked at Naruto and they both stopped as she narrowed her eyes and looked at him with a confused expression which Naruto returned. The woman then began rubbing her head as if it hurt a bit and said, 'I don't know why but you look very familiar.' Naruto tilted his head and the woman giggled at how cute he looked to her. She then looked ahead and they noticed the nomads had stopped and that they were doing business with Jiraiya and went back to talking. It seemed that the woman was suffering from amnesia and couldn't remember anything about herself, not even her name, Naruto felt sad as they continued talking. Jiraiya looked around and saw Darian and Lexi looking at some jewelry and then they moved on to look at some kunai and shuriken. Jiraiya then looked towards the back of the group and saw Naruto talking to a woman who suddenly fell clutching her head. Jiraiya was about to go when he saw her hair and was frozen with shock, he was thinking, 'It can't be!'

Naruto dropped beside the woman as she suddenly collapsed holding her head gasping for air as if she had been holding her breath for a long time. Naruto looked extremely worried as he felt very close to this woman, 'hey miss, are you alright? Hey, come on, whats wrong? Do you need some help?' The woman suddenly went still and was breathing heavily. She then picked herself up from the ground and Naruto ran and supported her when he noticed that she was shaky, barely having her balance. Naruto looked up at the woman who had her eyes tightly shut and her hands on her head. She then sighed and let go of her head. She looked around and said, 'W-what the…? W-where am I? What happened?' She began to panic and look around until she felt someone grab her hand and she turned around growling fiercely, but when she saw Naruto, she felt like her heart froze along with her body. Her eyes were wide with shock as she took in his features, his spiky blonde hair, his six whisker marks three on each cheek. She fell to her knees in front of Naruto and with tears in her eyes she hugged him.

Naruto was very confused, first she acts like her head was going to explode, then she acts like she is lost. Then she is about to attack and now here she is crying into his shoulder muttering something he couldn't understand through her sobs. She lifted her head and looked at him, smiling and she spoke, 'Is your name Naruto?' Naruto, being shocked that she knew his name, only nodded and she smiled and hugged him again saying over and over again, 'I prayed, I hoped you were still alive and that I could see you again.' Naruto was even more confused, 'Um, miss, who are you exactly?' The woman leaned back looking shocked and sad before saying, 'I guess you were never told.' Naruto looked confused as the woman continued, 'You were never told who your parents were, were you?' Naruto shook his head and the woman hugged him saying, 'Well I'll tell you who I am since you asked.' She pulled back, giving Naruto a loving smile, 'My name is Kushina, Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto, I'm your mother.' Naruto was shocked and so was Jiraiya who had walked up not alerting the two.
