000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
We open to the sight of Lily entering the training area to find Kushina finishing up some Taijutsu kata. She just stands there watching as Kushina pants before growling as she leans down to begin a sprint. Shaking her head, she decides to let herself be known. "Hey, Kushi… What's up?" Kushina just yelps and jumps several feet into the air before landing on her ass. Hearing a giggle, she looks over and glares at a whistling Lily.
"What's the big idea Yuri with scaring me like that!?" Lily just laughs at her as she makes her way over. Reaching her, she has to hold out from bursting into laughter at the sight of Kushina rubbing her butt. Kushina meanwhile just glares at her in annoyance. "Well? Aren't you going to tell me why you're here Yuri?" Lily just sighs and crosses her arms while rolling her eyes.
"I'm here because I wanted to check up on you, that's all Kushi. We're all worried about you. " She then shakes her head as she reaches down and helps Kushina up. "I mean really! Why are you pushing yourself so hard Kushi? You might hurt yourself with how much your oushing your limits." Kushina just looks down and sighs.
"So that I can be a part of Naru-chan's life…" Seeing the confusion on Lily's face, Kushina's transforms into a mask of grief and self-loathing. "I fucked up… big time Yuri. I… I wasn't there for him when he needed me most." She then shakes her head as tears leak from her eyes. "I missed out on so much of his life… his first steps… his first words… I wasn't there to greet him after his first day at the Academy." Kushina then sighs as she shakes her head. "All because I was too fucking stubborn to leave Minato do what was needed… even though I KNEW that was the only way for Kyubi to have been defeated and because of that I left Naruto without either of his parents. I can NEVER make up for that." She then clinches her fist as she gains a serious look in her eyes. "But what I CAN do is work as hard as I can so that I can help him out now. So that I can now be a part of his life. I may never be the Okaa-san he needed since he's now his own man, but I sure as hell can be there now for him when he needs me!" Kushina just heavily breaths as she has gotten that off her chest. Nodding, Lily lays a hand on her shoulder making her look at her.
"I know how you feel Kushi, it's the same way with me." Lily just shakes her head as she sadly sighs. "I, too, missed out on a lot of Harry's life. I wasn't there for him too remember?" Kushina has the decency to look away at that only for Lily to reach over and pull her head around. "I missed out on him going for his first wand… the first time he went to platform 9 ¾… his first Quidditch game and so much more. My baby was abused because a fucking asshole decided that for the 'Greater Good' that he was to be placed with his fucking Aunt! I swear when I get my hands on that old fool that I'll show him what true pain is!" Kushina just nods since she too knows what her nephew went through and like with what Naruto went through, she's not too happy about it.
"We'll BOTH teach him a… lesson nee-chan… we both will…" Kushina then looks away slightly confused at the fact that she can feel TWO currents of righteous anger. 'Now why does this remind me of something…' Shaking it off, Kushina looks down before smiling. "It doesn't matter though, does it? I mean, the village already knows that you're alive through rumours no thanks to that prick Danzo. And it's nearly time to put the plan in motion for me and Rin to reappear… Though I got to admit, if we manage to pull this one off, it really will be a prank to remember... though only a few will truly know that it's just that." Lily just laughs at that.
"Tell me about it! It's something that even James would be surprised at! Though I can honestly see him congradulating Harry on the perfect prank."
00000000000 With Team Seven 0000000000000
We join Team Seven with them standing at the bottom of a huge set of stairs looking up. Naruto's jaw drops as he looks upwards. "Shit! The shrine is way up there?! It's at least as long a staircase as the one used for the Hokage Monument!" Beside him, Sakura shivers slightly as she remembers the tortu- I mean, training, she had done involving the staircase back in Konoha. Naruto then looks back at Idate who's on his back. "So how many stairs are there here?" Idate just shrugs as well as he can from his position on Naruto's back.
"Don't rightly know actually. Never knew anyone who actually counted them either." He then grins down at Naruto. "The amount of stairs is why they refer to them as the 'Spirit Breaker' because there's so many stairs and most people can't make it up them without resting for a bit several times on the way up them." Naruto just grins before snorting.
"Oh really now? Heh! This won't be a problem for me since I use the stairs leading up to the monument as a training site. Up and down them for as long as I can go. Great exercise really since it can increase the amount of stamina." Idate just chuckles some.
"I would suppose so." He then shakes his head in amusement. "You truly are an odd one, aren't you?" Naruto just shrugs before taking a deep breath.
"Yup! Now… hang on! GRAAAAGHHHH!" And with that he starts running up the stairs leaving the rest behind. Sakura just slaps her forehead and groans.
"I'm tired from everything and he's still going… How does he do it?!" Beside her Sasuke just shakes his head.
"Well… one thing no one could ever accuse Naruto of having is no energy…" Harry just chuckles before waving at the rapidly disappearing Naruto.
"Hey! Wait for me nii-san!" He then looks back at the others. "Last one up is a Mountain troll!" He then starts running up the stair case followed by Hedwig. Sakura just blinks at him before sighing.
"Those two are too much alike…" Suddenly she realizes what he just said before she growls. "Last one up is a Mountain troll!? NO FUCKING WAY AM I GOING TO BE THE LAST ONE UP! SHANNARO!" She then starts running leaving Sasuke the only one there. He then looks around before sighing and shaking his head.
"Insane… everyone on my team is insane… (AN: Like you're any different Sasuke?) What is a Mountain Troll anyways?" As they're running up the stairs, Idate looks down at Naruto.
"Thanks for this… but let us get one thing straight, this doesn't mean that I actually trust you or anything." Naruto just rolls his eyes at this.
""Yeah, yeah. Whatever. It's not like I actually care if you trust me or anything." Idate flashes back to the conversation back in the cave. Screwing up his courage, Idate looks away from Naruto.
"The Chunin Exam… did it have a question that came out of no where?" Naruto just nods.
"As a matter of fact… yeah." He then looks up thoughtfully. "Come to think of it… it was kind of weird. The whole point of the question was whether or not you'd actually answer the question." Idate just slowly nods as he remembers his own Chunin Exam.
"Yeah… as far as Chunin Exams go, we had the same kind of question. But… I failed it." Naruto just winces at that.
"Fuck… That sucks." Idate just nods and asks what question did they get. Naruto just shrugs. "It's kind of complicated but I'll try to explain. The question was whether we would take it or no. In our case, the point was that if you didn't take it then you were not Chunin material since Chunin's have to deal with missions with a lack of information." Idate just scowls as he remembers his own.
"Yeah, well... I failed his test and then he banned me from becoming a Chunin… I trusted my nii-san and he betrayed me! If I failed his test then the best thing I could do was to get an explanation out of him! And all he would tell me is that it was something that I had to figure out for myself." Idate then shakes his head and sighs. "And even after all this time… I still haven't figured out what he meant by that." Naruto just glances at him from the corner of his eye and nods.
"And that is when Aoi tricked you into stealing the Forbidden Scroll as well as the Raijin, right?" Idate nods.
"Yeah… that's when he did that." Once they reach the top, Idate gets off Naruto's back bringing a raised eyebrow. "I'll take it from here." Naruto just rolls his eyes before making a comment in a dry tone of voice.
"Gee… and you couldn't do this before now? Do you have any idea how hard it was to haul your fat, heavy ass up all those stairs? Trust me when I say that you should go on a diet. I mean really! I could have thrown out my back carrying you! Dattebayo!" Harry shows up beside them with a large grin while chuckling.
"Aww… But nii-san, it was such a pleasant jog. The weather's just perfect for it." Idate just shakes his head at the two before sighing.
"I have to do this part on my own. I can't have you carrying me everywhere since that would be kind of against the point of the race you know. I have to win on my own two feet or else I haven't actually won the race." Naruto just nods at that and shrugs with a small smile on his face.
"And that, Idate, is the RIGHT attitude to have." Ignoring him for now, Idate begins to run towards the shrine.
'I can do this… those tears from Row are working… I can feel it!' As he's running, he feels a burn in his knee from where the senbon hit before he flashes back to when Row told him that even though the poison's gone, some of the damage still remains and would take a bit to heal. 'Kuso… I knew that I should have taken them up on their offers to heal me some more…' Through a sheer force of will, he pushes through the pain. "There's no pain… there's no pain…" Reaching the place where the jewel is, he picks it up. "Here we go… I'm back in the race!" A little while later finds him racing towards the bridge when he spots the other runner. 'There he is! I've nearly caught up to him!' Unfortunately, a yellow flash comes out of no where and he is sent flying with sparks dancing over his body. "Gahhh!" The person who struck him down reveals himself to be none other then Aoi who just chuckles.
"My, my… Look at who it is. I never expected you to make it this far…" Idate just looks at the sword made of lighting in Aoi's hands.
'It's… the Raijin…' Seeing the opposing runner having made it across, Aoi grins before tearing through the ropes anchoring one half of the bridge. Idate's eyes widen as he notices Aoi pointing the Raijin at the other ropes. He then rushes at Aoi to try and stop him.
"No! What are you doing!? Get away from that!" His cries though fall on deaf ears as Aoi cuts the bottom part of the ropes before swiping the blade along Idate's chest. "Argh!" Aoi just snorts at Idate's obvious pain.
"Why are you even bothering? No one can hold against the legendary Raijin. The blade that was formally owned by the Nidaime Hokage himself! A blade that made him undefeatable on the battle field." He then smirks as he brings the blade up towards his eyes. "But then… you know all about it, don't you Idate? After all… you were the one who originally stole it and brought it to me." Idate slowly gets up and turns back to him before several clods of dirt are thrown at Aoi only for him to use his umbrella as a shield.
"You fucking snake…" Aoi just shrugs before snorting in amusement.
"What is this? A playground fight?" He glances at Naruto who's behind Idate with a grin on his face.
"Nah… A beat down of epic proportions is what it is." Idate just looks at him in shock.
"Na… Naruto!" Naruto just nods as he looks at him.
"Sorry about the wait Idate… got held up in traffic you know. It's simply horrible this time of day." He then looks at Aoi with a smirk. "You're going to need more then an umbrella to protect you from me asshole." Aoi merely shrugs as he places it on his back as Naruto call out his signature jutsu. "Kage Bushin no jutsu!" Two of the clones start helping him to swirl chakra in the palm of his hand as Idate looks on.
"Wha… He's focusing his chakra into the palm of his hand… but why?" Naruto just hangs his head.
"Are you ready for this?" He nods towards two clones that rush towards Aoi only to be dispersed when they get hit by the Raijin. Another one leaps into the battle and gets destroyed as well, but it's only a distraction for the real Naruto who leaps at him with a Rasengan in his hand. Gritting his teeth, Aoi manages to block using the Raijin. To Naruto's surprise, it manages to fend off the Rasengan and send him flying. Aoi just chuckles at this as he shakes his head.
"So that's all there is to it? HA! As I said, nothing can possibly beat the Raijin. It makes me invincible!" He then throws up his umbrella as he calls out his next jutsu. "Jouro senbon no jutsu!" Naruto just looks on at the needles falling towards him before throwing out his hand.
"PROTEGO!" A shield made of magic comes into being and blocks the senbon sending them right back at Aoi who barely dodges them.
"What! How did you do that!" Naruto just chuckles as he shakes his head as if to scold him.
"You should really know better then to ask that… you see…" He then vanishes and Aoi stiffens as he hears him behind him. "A true ninja NEVER tells his secrets." Aoi turns only to be met with a fist into the gut which nearly folds him in half before a uppercut sends him flying. Rolling along the ground, he gets back up and rubs his jaw.
'How did he move so fast… no one is THAT fast…' Shaking his head he gets back up only for his eyes to widen as he hears another voice behind him.
"I sure hope that you haven't forgotten about little ol' me now…" He sent flying by an roundhouse kick to the back of the head by Harry. As he's flying through the air, Sakura bursts through the ground and slams her fist into his gut sending flying into a tree. Getting up shakily, Aoi coughs a little blood up. Wiping it away, he glares at the Genin facing him.
"You little shits are really starting to annoy me…" Sakura just snorts as she shakes her head while folding her arms across her chest.
"I guess rep isn't everything… you're even WEAKER then stated in the Bingo Book… then again, you were never a outstanding ninja anyways, were you? Especially since you needed a GENIN to do your dirty work for you to behin with…" Aoi just growls as he readies the Raijin.
"I'm going to shut all you gaki's up… WHEN I CLEAVE YOUR BODIES IN HALF!" Hearing Idate tell them to leave, he sneers at him. "So you're still going to defend each other how touching… and disgusting! Only pathetic weaklings actually rely on others to fight." Harry just shakes his head in amusement, his next words pissing Aoi off.
"And what does that say about you since we're kicking your ass?" Aoi just looks away.
"You're lucky, that's all." He then looks at Idate. "I have to admit, I have to give it to your nii-san… he manage to survive the fire and the torture as well as getting the Forbidden Scroll back… all without telling me what I wanted to know." He then grins at Idate. "You could have saved him a lot of trouble though… if you had only went back to the village to get help… but then, you wouldn't have, would you? After all, if you did you would have had to admit your guilt. It was simply easier to run away." Aoi then shakes his head in mock disbelief. "And what I can't get over is that he did it all for you… his worthless Otouto. Someone who betrayed his own village. Who trusts no one." He then gains a maniacal gleam in his eye as he continues. "Not even you own nii-san… the man who would give his life for you… you don't even trust him do you? You don't even trust the people of your own village enough to go back and admit to what you've done. You trust no one…" He then grins as he gets up. "And I couldn't have asked for a better student… and for that…" he starts to run over towards Idate. "I'LL KILL YOU QUICKLY!" He then brings down the sword only for Harry to grab it in a hand covered in black chakra. Aoi starts laughing as bolts of electricity shoot through Harry's body causing him to grunt. "HAHAHAHA! So you want to die first eh?" Harry simply smirks.
"Actually no…" He then looks up at Aoi with a massive grin before he shoots his other hand forwards. "Time for a little electroshock therapy…" Aoi's eyes widen before the lighting that Harry's channelling from the blade and through his body enters Aoi's making him scream. "Heh… can't take your own medicine I see…" Aoi leaps away only to have to dodge several kunai thrown by Sasuke.
"What! Another one!" Sasuke just smirks as he looks at Aoi.
"See you couldn't take care of this guy by yourselves without me Dobes. Sit back and leave this clown to me." Both Harry's and Naruto's reply is simply to give him the finger. Before Aoi can say anything, he leaps out of the way of a axe before nearly being pierced by a flaming spear. Gritting his teeth, he's about to charge when Sal appears behind him and wraps her whip around him and pulls in an attempt to tear him in to pieces. But instead, all she rips apart is a log.
"Shit! Kawarimi no jutsu!" She then looks around and barely dodges several strikes from the Raijin. Watching as the three familiars regroup, Aoi just smirks.
"It doesn't matter in the end about how many of you there are. I am Aoi of Ame and I wield the Raijin. I am undefeatable." Sasuke just snorts in amusement.
"Really now? I somehow doubt that with how the two dobes have been giving you trouble." He then activates his Sharingan as he watches Aoi. "Excellent… the Raijin against my Chidori, the jutsu that can cut through a lighting bolt… I wonder which one will win…" He then charges with the Chidori only for it to be blocked by the Raijin which then disperses it. Having taken damage, Sasuke then charges in with a kunai and proceeds to use it to block the Raijin. Aoi simply chuckles at Sasuke as he blocks every strike.
"Guess the rumours are true then. The last of the Uchiha truly is a weakling unfit to be even culled by his own nii-san like the others of his family name…" The moment of distraction costs Sasuke as Aoi uses it to get a hit in sending him flying with electricity shooting through him. Seeing this, Idate gets to his feet.
"Sakura! You guys have got to get away! He'll kill you all without mercy!" Sakura simply looks at him with a hard glare.
"we're not running away from him Idate. We won't abandon you, trust us." She then glares at Aoi who simply smirks and asks what she's going to do. "Simple, beat your ass. What else?" Aoi just grins before looking at Idate.
"I'm afraid that will have to wait. You see, Idate is an old friend and he's about to start on his journey… to the next world." Sasuke begins to get back up, his face shadowed by his hair.
"Take it back…" Aoi just raises an eyebrow at Sasuke who's barely able to stand as shown as he wobbles. "Take back what you said…" Aoi just gives him an odd look.
"What are you taking about? Take what back?" Sasuke just snarls.
"Take back what you said!" And without any handsigns he manages to create another Chidori in his hand. " Take back what you said about me! I am Uchiha Sasuke of Konoha, the last of the Uchiha!" His hair flies back as he glares at Aoi. He then charges at Aoi, only for the Jounin to dance around the attack and hit him across the back with the Raijin. Sasuke then goes flying into the gorge as the electricity shoots through his body. Seeing this, Sakura goes and leaps down before she manages to grab him. She then manages to land on a ledge just above the waves. Aoi just watches them both go over the edge with an amused look on his face.
"Seems like they're the fall guys…" He then stills under the KI being emitted by Naruto.
"I… HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU ASSHOLE!" Aoi takes a step back as Naruto glares at him with the Jigoku Mahogan. Aoi then wobbles some as he's hit with a dizzy spell (not a magical one). Naruto just smirks as Aoi then focuses on him, not noticing Harry raising his hand from off to the side until it's too late.
"Expelliarmus!" Aoi's caught off guard by the spell that sends the Raijin sailing out of his hand and into the air where it's caught by Row, who then flaps upwards and out of his reach. Growling, he looks at Harry who smirks as he gets up off the ground. "Opps… Sorry, was that your's?" Aoi goes to yank out his umbrella only for Naruto to call out his next attack.
"Taijuu Kage Bushin no jutsu!" Looking back, he gulps as he notices about fifty grinning bushin looking at him. Naruto just crosses his arms as he grins. "Not so big and bad without your sword… now are you?" He doesn't get any time to reply as they then jump on him. As he's fighting, he then loses track of the others through the smoke.
'Kuso… I can't see a fucking thing in all this smoke…' Snarling, he throws up his umbrella and unleashes another rain of senbon, dispersing all of the bushin. Looking around, he breaths a sigh of relief. "That… was too close…!" Hearing something, he turns just in time to see Naruto charging out of the smoke with another Rasengan in his hands. He's so focused on him, that he doesn't see Harry appear behind him until it's too late as he rams a Rasengan into Aoi's left knee, literally obliterating it. Naruto then hits him in the right shoulder all but guaranteeing that he's down for the count as he screams in agony. Looking down at him, Naruto just shakes his head as Harry walks up and hits him with a stunner before using a healing spell on him to stop the bleeding. Naruto then shrugs with a sigh.
"Well… that's that. He's the last of the enemy ninja so we're now in the clear... Though it is a waste to use a healing spell on him." He then turns to Idate who's looking on in shock. Idate then flashes back through everything that Team Seven have done before hanging his head. Shaking his own, he turns back to the gorge in time to see Hedwig and Sal flying out of it carrying Sasuke and Sakura. After they land, he rushes over to Sakura. "Hey! Sakura-chan! You okay?" She looks up and shakily smiles.
"Yeah… Sasuke though isn't." She then looks down and shakes her head. "I think that the Raijin did a real number on him. Possibly some nerve damage too. Hedwig walks over to talk to Row who's holding the activated Raijin in her hands and examining it.
"So that's the Raijin… Looks like a pretty cool blade." Row just nods before laughing as she sees Harry wobble around before slipping on a patch of mud and falling on his ass, the Yin-yang Medallion's necklace coming undone with it rolling towards Sasuke and Naruto causing him to scowl as he gets back up to retrieve it. Sal then leaps on her back trying to see it.
"Hey! Let me get a look! Let me get a look!" She reaches for it as Row tries to keep it away from her.
"Sal! Stop that right now! It's not a plaaaaa!" In their struggles, Row steps on a senbon needle which rolls out from under her and as she falls, the Raijin flies up into the air. Hitting her back, she rubs her head as she watches the sword fall downwards and hit the medallion, splitting it in two and sending out a magical shockwave that hits Sasuke, Naruto and Harry. Blinking, Harry looks around in confusion.
"Okay… what was that supposed to have done now?" Not feeling any different, he picks up the two pieces that have split in half down the middle along the Yin-yang symbol before grabbing the Raijin and deactivating it. He then glares at both Sal and Row who gulp. "Next time, please don't fool around with something like that… And just for that, no sex for a week!" Both Sal and Row hang their heads and go to sulk under a nearby tree. Harry then turns to Naruto before jerking his head to Idate. "I think that you and Idate should get going nii-san… don't you?" Naruto just nods before getting up and walking over to Idate. Harry watches him for a few seconds before glancing back down at the split medallion. 'Why do I get the strangest feeling that you did something that's going to cause problems later on?' He then just shakes his head. Idate just watches Naruto and Harry in shock before shaking his head.
"Naruto… that was… incredible!" Naruto just chuckles some as he shakes his head. Idate then looks away. "You know… I've never really thought much of myself… But Jirocho-Oyabun always did… No one really believed in me before now, For that reason I'll win this race for him!" Naruto just nods at that but Idate continues. "I at first thought that you guys would just get in the way, but I was wrong. Thinking back to all the times that you guys helped me out. Whenever something went wrong, you guys would risk your lives for me. No matter how useless I had become." He then looks Naruto straight in the eyes seriously. "Naruto… I hope that you can forgive me for what I did." Naruto just shakes his head before smiling at him.
"What are you doing telling me stuff like this now for? Wait until we cross the finish line and then you can tell me. Okay?" Idate just nods as Naruto looks out over the ravine and nods his head. "I can get us across in a jiffy. I just need you to get on my back." Blinking, Idate does so and Naruto looks back at him. "You secure?" He just nods and Naruto grins. "Good… Shukuchi Mukyo!" Idate gasps as his vision blurs for a brief second into a tunnel before both him and Naruto appear above the other side of the chasm. After landing, Idate looks back and his eyes widen.
'What the hell?! He leaped over that distence without any real help but through pure speed! What the hell is he?! The Yondaime reborn!?' Shaking it off for now, he gets off Naruto's back before looking at him and shaking his head. "Nice trick. How fast are you really?" Naruto just shrugs his shoulders.
"Don't know actually. Never really tested myself since the finals of the exams." He then jerks his thumb towards the finish line. "But enough of that… we have a race to win!" The two nod to each other before taking off. A little later, the Wagarashi's runner is just slowly running towards the finish line with a grin on his face, knowing that he's going to win. Suddenly, the crowd starts cheering as Idate comes into view. Seeing Idate start to catch up, he puts a little more speed on. Idate just scrunches his face up in concentration.
"I am not going to lose this!" Putting on even more speed, his surroundings blur. "I am not giving up until the end!" In a matter of seconds, Idate pulls up level with his opponent. Jirocho then chooses that point to step up and begin cheering for Idate.
"Come on Idate! I know you can do it!" Idate just nods at that.
'Oyabun…' He then grits his teeth and puts even more speed on as his eyes tear up, Naruto just follows from on top of the shrines gates before stopping and shouting.
"Keep going Idate! Keep going!" He then smirks a little as he stands straight. 'that's it Idate. Show them all what you're made of.' He then grins as he sees Idate put even more speed before crossing the finish line as the winner. The crowd then cheers as they all rush forwards to greet the winner. From his spot, Naruto just nods. 'You did it Idate… You did it..' The Wagarashi clan's runner just collapses where he is. Idate just strides forwards into the shrine before placing his jewel down on the pillow. Exhausted, he falls to the ground before shaking his head.
"There… I… did it. I did it!" He then falls onto his back chuckling as he tries to catch his breath. Seeing this, Jirocho walks forwards with a smile on his face.
"Idate. That was a good race son." Idate just rolls into a kneeling position. "You did very well." Idate just looks at him with widened eyes before trying to apologize bring a small smile to Jirocho's face. "Why are you apologizing Idate? You are the winner of the race, you do realize that right?" Idate tries to apologize again, bringing a chuckle from Jirocho. "I don't understand you Idate. You really are an odd one, aren't you?" After the other two with him congratulate Idate, Jirocho motions him towards the entrance. "Well? What are you waiting for? Go greet them." Idate just nods and smiles as he starts walking out of the entrance to the sight of a massive crowd of people cheering his name. Seeing this, he just scratches the back of his head in embarrassment. A little while later, Team Seven is in the crowd watching as Idate is placed on a podium while it's announced that he's the winner as well as who he represents. Hearing something, Naruto turns to see Harry beside him.
"Hey nii-san. What took you so long?" Harry just looks around before leaning towards his ear.
"I had to first make sure that Aoi was properly imprisoned and then I noticed the other runner being beaten by several members of the Wagarashi clan so I… interfered." Naruto just nods before narrowing his eyes as the leader of the Wagarashi clan walks up with a scowl on his face.
"Hold up! That's quite enough." Team Seven just watches in disbelief as he tries to have Idate get disqualified only for the Daimyo to step in and stop it. He then orders the Wagarashi clan to disband and fires the port's boss. A few days later, Harry joins Naruto on the prow of the boat as they watch the port fade into the distence. Naruto just turns to look at Harry with a raised eyebrow.
"Well... that was a good mission. We defeated the bad guys and Ibiki sure is happier then a clam since he has Aoi now for some special... sessions with him." Seeing Harry nod before sighing, he shakes his head. "It's time… isn't it?" Harry just nods before handing whispering something and tapping Naruto on the shoulder. Naruto just nods as the two start walking back, Harry sending the mental signal for Row's and Hedwig's Kage Bushin to head to Konoha with a Bushin of himself with them. They nearly reach the door before they both fall to the ground moaning and twitching as a red chakra swirls around Naruto and Harry's magic starts leaking out of his body. They're soon surrounded by Chunins who try to help them..
000000000000 Back in Konoha 0000000000
"Tsunade is at her desk drinking a saucer of Sake when she feels a massive chakra build-up. Heading to the window, she watches as a dome of swirling red and blue chakra forms where they had originally rescued Kushina before smiling as a wave of power sweeps over her. 'It's about time.' She then wipes the smile from her face as she turns towards a ANBU that just rushed in. "I want that… whatever that was to be investigated immediately. Kakashi's likely still in the building so take him along it you." The ANBU nods before vanishing. A little later finds Kakashi and several other Jounin, ANBU and Chunin rushing through the trees before he shakes his head in amazement as he looks at the forest around him.
