Kushina frowned and said "Tenten, this is going to be hard. I don't see any land meaning he has no will to live....I'm going to go out into the sea and use my bloodline to try and find him. I need you to stay on the lighthouse as a marker so I can find our way back out to here. If you fall off all 3 of us will be lost in his mind possibly forever. Do you understand."
Tenten gulped and nods and Kushina said "Good, now remember, stay on the light house no matter what." as she dashed out into the sea running across the water and Tenten stepped out into the sea and began to fall into it as a memory of a battle hit her and she sees the battle is between Konoha and Kyuubi and she shook her head quickly applying chakra to her feet and stood on the water before climbing up on top of the light house.
As she did she felt the rain hitting her as flashes of memories hit her with each drop as the wind hit her trying to blow her off the light house.
Out in the sea Kushina bit her lip as another wave crashed over her and thought "Where are you son."
Naruto was in the sea laying on his back as a wave crashed over him and the rain fell down on him and he looked at the sky with a blank look on his face when he felt something, a tingle in the back of his mind like a bell ringing and after several moments he felt another tingle as he thought "What the hell, there's 1...no 2 chakra signatures here.....wait...I...I recognise one of them..." as his eyes widen and thought "THAT'S TENTEN...WHAT SHE DOING HERE." as his body fell down under the water as his head began to look around as more waves crashed into him.
Naruto bit his lip and thought "I don't know what's she's doing here but I can't let her stay in this...thing, whatever it is that is causing all these memories. I have to find her." as he tried to climb out of the sea using chakra and after several tries thought "Fuck it, When I get out of here the first thing I am doing is learning to walk on water right." as he began to swim toward where he felt Tenten as the storm began to pick up more speed as his emotions became more upset over fear of Tenten being OK."
Kushina felt a wave crash over her as she wiped a tear away from her eyes and thought "My poor son, I'll kill those fucking villagers for what they did to you." as she saw a memory of one of the times he was attacked.
Tenten was on the lighthouse as the storm increased in power and thought "What madness, how can he survive this, I feel like I am goind to drown in this and I am only on this tower, WHAT THE HELL." as a huge tidal wave came crashing into the tower and she grabbed the rail on the lighthouse to keep from being swept off as she saw a memory of Naruto being ignored by people and she felt his emotions from it and thought "Oh Naruto, I understand now why you felt you might disappear. OH SHIT." as another huge wave came crashing into her and she saw the night where Naruto learned of the Kyuubi and how when he got home that night he thought about how he would forever be alone.
With that memory Tenten felt her eyes watering as she thought "You actually felt that way Naruto."
Another wave crash into her and this time it was the memory of Sasuke and Sakura talking about Naruto not actually passing and Tenten being paid to be a tutor to him.
Tenten felt her hands clench in rage and thought "You fucking pink haired bitch." as tears fell from her eyes.
Another wave crashed into her and this time it was Naruto speaking with Inoichi and Ino about his plan to set up Sakura and then his talk with Inoichi about why he really felt about why the Sandaime hasn't stepped down and Tenten felt her hold on the rail slipping and then another wave crashed into her and this was the one where Tenten came to Naruto appartment the first morning, as another wave crashed into her it was the events at the accademy the day of team placements, then another wave crashed as a memory of their talking in the woods the first time she found him there and Tenten felt her hold slipping more and more but she didn't care as she was caught up in the emotions of the memories that hit her as she understood why and how Naruto trully felt for her and then she saw the memory of their first kiss where Naruto tried to give her every ounce of love he had and she closed her eyes as she felt her heart ache for him as another wave crashed into her with him begging for someone to help him before he passed out from injuries once and she lost her hold on the tower completely and she took a deep breath waiting for the water to hit her to take her under when she felt herself embrassed and a voice say "I got you Tenshi." as Tenten eyes opened and saw a completly soaked Naruto holding her bridal style and she did the first thing she thought of and kissed him pulling him into a tight embrace.
As she did the storm froze a moment though neither notice it and a small piece of land appeared in the sea near the light house as the storm clouds began to break apart as Naruto returned the kiss as he pulled her closer to him and closed his eyes holding on to her as if she was his only lifeline as she did the same to him never opening her eyes as she kissed him more and more as the land got bigger and bigger and the sea retracted slowly and the wind calmed down from a hurricane gale to a gentle breeze as the sun began to shine down on them through the cracks in the storm.
This was the sight that Kushina walked up to as she smiled and thought "So you found each other and calmed the storm of emotions that he was lost in." as she walked toward the island and as the sound of soggy foot steps hit Tenten and Naruto they broke the kiss and saw a completely soaked Kushina standing there and Naruto eyes widen and looked in fear before the storm began to build up in the sky again and Tenten saw this and screamed "Stop." as she grabbed his face and made him turn and look at her.
Tenten said "Listen to me, she's a friend, I'll explain more in a few minutes when we get out of here...please come with us."
The storm that was building stopped progressing toward the small island and Naruto said in a neutral voice "Alright...for you....Where are we."
Tenten said "Thank you, please, come with us and everything will be explained." as she set her foot on the tower and walked down it to the door and opened it and Naruto took a look at her and then a worried glance at Kushina before he walked over to where Tenten opened the door and followed her into the Whirlpool beach area with Kushina following.
When they got inside Kushina thought "Words won't be enough, I'll just have to show him my memories of his birth and then go from there. He doesn't trust me and he's scared of what will happen." as she walked over and placed her hand on the whirlpool and Naruto and Tenten saw as Kushina and Minato talked.
Minato looked at Kushina and said "I don't want our son to grow up feeling the pain I felt of not knowing a parent. The fact I had to live without knowing anything about either of mine is something that still haunts me to this day. I have to find some way to make it where he knows about you."
Kushina was silent for several minutes and said in a questioning voice "Minato...you know that seal you told me about...the one that holds the Nibi to that girl up in Kumo."
Minato thought a moment and said "The soul binding seal, what about it."
Kushina said "Well...will a seal sealed inside another seal still work."
Minato scratched the back of his head in a way that Tenten thought reminded her of Naruto and he said "It depends. Some seals might work and others won't it depends really...why."
Kushina said "We know I'm dying. No one knows how to cure that poison I recieved....what if I were to seal myself using that soul binding seal. You told me how the Nibi body was sealed away with the demon soul right, well why couldn't a human body be sealed as well. Things inside a seal are basically frozen in time right, so even though me and my body would be sealed inside him I wouldn't actually die. If that works then you could draw the whirlpool seal on our son and that way him and I could meet him as well as Tenten since I drew the seal on her being her godmother."
Minato thought a moment and said "It might work....but what if it doesn't, we have to figure out a way to let him know....wait that's it."
Kushina asked "What."
Minato began to rub his hands together in thought and said "You remember the experimental seal I told you about that sealed the knowledge of the Kagebunshin no jutsu in the forbidden scroll so that way whoever opens and reads it would learn to use that jutsu in a few hours. How I planned for it to be a way to help the next Hokage defeat paperwork like I do."
Kushina nods slowly and Minato said "Well what if I did the same thing but instead of a single jutsu I instead make it where all our knowledge on a subject like seals, Chakra control, Jutsu etc. were sealed in a scroll...or a book on that subject. I could encode it to our blood where when he holds the book he would get our knowledge on that so he can surpass us."
Kushina frowned and said "I don't know Minato. There are things I wouldn't want our son to know...I know how much it hurts you not knowing but sometimes it's best not to know. I mean do you really want our son to know he was concieved on your desk in the Hokage tower."
At this both Tenten and Naruto paled and Naruto said "Ewe...Oh god...Jiji, I'm destroying your desk when I get back to Konoha."
Back in the whirlpool Minato rubbed his head and laughed sheepishly and said "I wonder how many people would believe that it's the same desk the Shodaime, Nidaime, and the Sandaime used while in office and Tsunade was concieved on that desk along with both Sarutobi kids."
Tenten scrunched her nose and said "Damn...that's......"
Naruto said "Exploding tags, nothing of it must remain." as he looked scarred.
Kushina laughed sheepishly and said "What if people knew about the cuts in the walls under the picture. I can't believe Sarutobi walked in on us that one day and told us the other secret of the Hokage office or why it was called the HO Kage office."
Minato said "Yeah, the Nidaime walked in on the Shodaime having sex with his wife and marked the wall with a kunai as a joke like a notch on a head board."
Kushina said "Yeah, who knew Sarutobi could do it so many times in that office."
Minato said "But look how long he was in there. I mean come on, that many years you would expect a lot of notches."
Kushina tilted her head to the side and said "True....so anyways, what do we do about Naruto."
Minato said "I guess we can try both. I'll draw the seals in that book and let him start reading them when he makes Gennin and do one a month for a year if I don't find out the seal you used didn't work."
Kushina said "I still say that you should let me put that seal on you as well."
Minato shook his head and said "No, there are to many secrets in my head that I can't tell anyone and it would be easy for someone to learn the secrets by learning this seal and putting it on themselves."
Kushina pouted and said "Fine...so how should we explain this to the others."
Minato said "Let's keep it a secret because someone may try and get the book to get our knowledge or the Sandaime Mizukage may try and kill you to stop Naruto from being born."
Kushina looked down and said "Alright....so about the 2 arrange marriages."
Minato groaned as the whirlpool changed to Naruto being born and then Kushina sealing herself in Naruto and then when Kushina met Tenten and learned about Minato being dead and Kushina explaining everything to Tenten and then their plan to help Naruto.
When it was over Kushina took her hand away from the Whirlpool and said "That is all I can say in my defense...I'm sorry and I never knew and wish I could have been there for you Naruto...I would call you son but I don't know if you would let me." as she closed her eyes and looked down.
Naruto bit his lip and slowly walked over and said "It...it wasn't your fault...mother." a he hugged her from behind.
Tenten saw this and wiped a tear from her eye and thought "So you finally got your mother Naruto...I'm happy for you."
After a while Naruto and his mother who had returned the hug let go of each other reluctantly and Kushina said "So...what was that I saw when I walked up earlier, can I expect grandkids."
Naruto screamed "MOM." while Tenten screamed "GODMOTHER." as both blushed red.
Kushina laughed and waved her hand and said "Relax, I was just joking...but seriosly, I thought you were in love with someone named Neji...why were you and my son kissing. He didn't force himself on you did he." saying the last part dangerously.
Naruto got a little scared from the look Kushina had on her face and Tenten blushed and said "No...not this time..I...I kissed him....I...I don't know what I feel right now...I mean I thought I loved Neji...but...but after everything that has happened and everything I experienced I don't know anymore if I still love him or if I love Naruto..I...I have known Neji for years and I was sure I loved him but....now that I am starting to understand Naruto and get to know him better I..I just don't know. I...feel wierd..I mean I find out I'm engaged to a guy I didn't even know a few months ago and have been engaged to him for my entire life....dad is so going to get an ass chewing when I get back." as she bit her lip as her eyes glossed over.
Naruto started to say something when Kushina said "Then how about this. How about you both take time to train together and learn more about each other like you were suppose to have been growing up. Forget about love for now and work on getting stronger. Using this link we have I can teach you both things about your past including kenjutsu which is something I see you both have a thing for. I can also teach you water jutsu, how to use your bloodline Naruto as well as a few tricks that only a kunoichi can learn or do Tenten. What do you both say to that."
Naruto bit his lip and said as he looked at Tenten "If you want to."
Tenten said "Yeah, I don't know if I love love you Naruto but I do care for you. It's impossible for me not to after everything we have been through. It maybe just friends though so please give me time to work this out."
Naruto frowns but nods and said "Alright...so how do we do this."
Kushina smiled and said "Alright, as you saw with Tenten and me talking earlier there is no way one of you can enter the others mind without permission or my help and I will only help if it is absolutely neccessary. That does not mean that you both have to have every conversation with me involved. There are several functions to this seal that I have not explained yet. One is that you can send chakra into the seal on your neck and think of the name of a person who is linked to this place and you can speak directly to each other if the person returns the link. It will still sound like that bell when you are being called. Another function of this link is as long as the light house is here that person is alive. As you can see that also means you can tell how many of us with the link are still around."
Naruto asked "So does that mean there are no other Uzumaki out there."
Kushina was quite a moment and said "The lighthouse seal was given to an Uzumaki when they were 10 years old. If there are any others out there then they were either under 10 years old when Whirlpool village was attacked or were born after it was attacked by someone who didn't know how to put the seal on and their parents died. That means that right now the only person with the knowledge of our bloodline and history is me and somewhat you Naruto."
Naruto nods and Tenten asked "What other abilities does this place have."
Kushina said "When there was a dispute in the clan this was where it was settled. We did not have our disputes in the open for others to learn about them. We came here and by showing the memories of the dispute from all parties involved we were able to see exactly what did happen and not what others thought happen which settled a lot of disputes and made getting over them a lot easier. That's basically it though. It was mostly designed for long distance communication so we could search and rescue people in danger quicker and save more lives."
Naruto said "I don't care since it let me finally meet my mom." with a smile.
Kushina smiled and said "I know son...but I think it is time for you and Tenten to return the normal world and get some rest. You both look tired."
Naruto yawned and said "Yeah, I am."
Tenten yawned as well as said "Me too....good night both you." as she walked toward her lighthouse and Naruto screamed "WAIT." as he ran over to her and hugged her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips and said "Thank you and Good night." as he turned and ran to his lighthouse and closed the door after he entered it.
Tenten raised an eyebrow and Kushina said "Get over it girl, he's trying to make up for 15 years of loneliness by showing you all the physical affection he can.
Tenten said "I know that, but the thing is he slipped me his tongue also."
Kushina blushed and said "Oh...um, then do what you feel you should then." as she looked away.
Tenten giggled and said "My lifes never going to be boring again is it."
Kushina said "Nope." as Tenten shook her head and left.
After she was gone Kushina walked toward Naruto lighthouse and walked around to the back side of it away from the door and said "Hello Minato." with a glare.
There against the light house was a prison cell built into the light house and Minato said "I know, I fucked up big time."
Kushina said "You think....for now you just sulk here and be quite while I try and fix ANOTHER of your mistakes." as she turned and walked off.
Minato sighed and sat down against the wall and thought "Woman, can't live with them, can't escape their wrath."
The next day when Naruto awoke he found Tenten asleep laying on his arm and he smiles as he rubbed his hand across her face moving a stray hair that had gotten on her face and thought "I wonder what her hair looks like down."
Tenten slowly opened her eyes and blinked as she felt someone rubbing her face and saw Naruto looking at her and she smiled softly and said "Morning."
Naruto said "Morning...maybe...or maybe afternoon." as he tried to look around the room he was in to find a clock or something to tell him what time it was.
Tenten snorts and said "Not even 5 words and your already annoying me." as she sat up and blinked and said "Hey, isn't that your swords." as she saw a pair of swords by Naruto bed.
Naruto looked at them and said "Yeah...how did they get here though. I though they were still in the woods."
A voice said "They were. I brought them here for you Naruto...or are you Minato.
Naruto frowned and said "Hello jiji...it's still me...somewhat...mom wants to kick your ass by the way."
The Sandaime blinked and said "Oh...and who is she."
Naruto said "Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. The second souls seal was placed there the day I was born which was the 9th of October before we found out Kyuubi was attacking. Mom sealed her soul and body in me since she was dying so she could use a special seal to talk to me and her goddaughter Tenten."
The Sandaimes eyes widen and said "So that's what the seal on your neck is...I thought it was a seal used to keep the fox from talking to you."
Tenten said "No, but it wasn't complete and if I hadn't of fallen asleep and brushed against the seal where she was sealed at we would never of known it but it activated the seal I had on my neck and she was able to talk to me and told me how to put it on Naruto and I found the problem and fixed it. We also know what was happening to Naruto now and why he was really here. It wasn't his dad taking over his body but a sort of memory transfer thing that his dad created."
Naruto said "You know those 2 books you gave me Jiji. In the book of seals was all dads knowledge of seals sealed inside it to transfer to me as long as I held onto it and the book on chakra theories was his knowledge of chakra, control, theories, and applications. Mom said there was several books like that he made in the Hokage office that I was suppose to have gotten. It's like a family scroll but encoded where it would transfer to only a blood relation, not anyone else...I guess the reason I am feeling this way is I am constantly holding the books."
Sarutobi said "I see....so your you and not Minato...thank god. I was afraid I would kill him if he did take over you because I would care if you disappeared."
Naruto nods and said "Oh wait, that reminds me, be back in a second." as he closed his eyes and slumped slightly.
Tenten said "Don't worry, he's using the seal to talk to his mom."
Naruto set up and blinked and said "My minds still a storm but not much of one...Is the arrange marriage between the Kazekage daughter and me still active. It was arranged by dad and the Yondaime Kazekage."
Sarutobi blinked and said "Arrange marriage...I wasn't aware there was one but I can contact them and find out."
Naruto said "Also is there anyway you can get me all the information you have on the land of Water, the land of Whirlpool, and also any other reports of refugees from the land of Whirlpool."
Sarutobi asked "Why."
Naruto rubbed his head and said "Um....I'm not sure actually. Mom told me it was important. What ever the reason she want's me to get the information for is the reason why her and Tenten mom were poisoned by an assassin from the hidden mist. It's also one of the 2 reasons why I have got to have more then one wife. I have to not only restore the Uzumaki clan but also whatever it is she's hiding from me."
Sarutobi frowned and Tenten said "Did she say anything else."
Naruto said "Yeah, I don't know now why but mom did tell me one thing I don't understand yet that she wanted me to make sure to tell you Jiji. Minato was an Uzumaki having taken her name instead of her taking his. As such the marriage is clan business. What did she mean by that."
Tenten snorts and said "Your mom just basically said that the Sandaime can't cancel or speak for you about the marriage and the council and other clans can't interfere because the agreement was between the Uzumaki clan and Suna, not Konoha and Suna."
Naruto said "But wasn't it suppose to be some sort of arrangement to strengthen bonds between villages."
Sarutobi said "Basically yes...but it's also the way Tenten said it. It's why clans don't usually get asked to be part of an arrange marriage because they take lead over the village and fall under the clans control....who is the other marriage with Naruto."
Tenten frowned and Naruto said "The heiress to the Ookami clan, an ally to the Uzumaki clan who I will be contacting soon but their location and who she is must remain a secret for now."
Sarutobi said "You seem to have learned a lot about politics Naruto."
Naruto said "Not really, time moves slower in the seal as mom and I talked for about an hour inside it when I went back in there when only a few minutes passed her. Mom told me what to say or do if certian things were said until I learn the things I am going to need." as he rubbed his head.
Tenten said "It's unreal." causing both to turn and look at her and Naruto asked "What."
Tenten said "The way you can mimic your parents nervous habits without remembering your parents. That head scratch just then was definately your dad but the way you smile is definately your mothers."
Sarutobi said "True...but how do you know that."
Tenten said "Oh um.."
Naruto sighed and said "The seal allows us to show our memories and mom showed a few with dad to help explain what was happening to me."
Sarutobi nods and Naruto asked "So when can I leave."
Sarutobi said "How do you feel."
Naruto said "Alright now. The headaches are gone."
Sarutobi said "The doctors said you should be able to leave when you woke up since you heal so quickly but I don't want you training with your kagebunshin for the next 3 days and also don't over do your training if you do train. After that you can rejoin your team and begin training how you wish again. I will also get what I can about the information you requested but I ask that you not take any actions without my approval."
Naruto said "I just want to know what is going on and what to expect for now."
Sarutobi said "Very well...I will also send a message to the Kazekage to find out about if the marriage is still on but to do so I will have to inform him of both your parents identities."
Naruto said "That's fine, you can tell everyone as far as I care who my dad was. Maybe then they can get over their feelings of hatred for me though I doubt it."
Sarutobi said "Well we can't go that far yet. I want to hold off that until I am sure you can protect yourself properly since you have got so many enemies outside of the village because of BOTH your parents."
Naruto said "Yeah...I agree." as he got up and an eep was heard before a thud was heard and both turned to see Tenten passed out on the floor with a perverted smile on her face and Naruto blinked and said "Hey, where's my cloths. I didn't know I was in a hospital gown."
Sarutobi said "I imagine they are in the closet." as he turned and started to walk out with a smile on his face.
Naruto said "Hey, what about Tenten."
Sarutobi said "You can help her." as he laughed as he started to leave but Naruto said "Wait...don't tell anyone about what happened to mom or where she is at. She told me that there was someone in Konoha who betrayed her and dad to the Sandaime Mizukage. She told me that it's OK to tell she's alive and has contacted me but her location must be kept a secret. Also everything you heard about the seal Tenten and I have must remain a secret because they can be used against us."
Sarutobi nods and said "I will keep it a secret." as he left.
Naruto scowled and walked around the bed and picked Tenten up and set her on the bed and he walked over to the portable closet and opened it and found his cloths and he grumbled as he pulled the gown off and threw it in a chair before he started to slip on his boxers.
Tenten eyes began to flutter as she came to and she opened her eyes and looked around as she saw Naruto bend over showing her a back view of his naked ass and Tenten blushed and thought "Nice." as she licked her lips slightly as she watched Naruto pull on his pants and grab his shirt and began to pull it on as he turned around and she saw his abs and thought "He's been training hard to get those."
Naruto as he pulled it on blinked and said "Oh, your awake now...why did you faint."
Tenten thought "He's can't be...never mind, I forgot he is." as she said "I guess I was tired from sitting by your bedside for so long."
Naruto said "Oh...so how long have I been here."
Tenten said "2 days."
Naruto froze as he was slipping on his shoes and said "I see....thank you Tenten...nobody ever comes see me in the hospital besides jiji and that's only a few minutes." as he grabbed his swords and slipped them on
Tenten said "Oh....so you ready to go."
Naruto said "Sure...where do you want to go."
Tenten said "Well....how about we go get something to eat. I'm hungry and it's been a few days since you ate."
Naruto said "Sure." as he opened the door and motioned for her to go first and Tenten blushed slightly as she walked out and left.
As they did a figure stepped out from the room next to theirs and whispered "Naruto-kun." before leaving.
Naruto followed Tenten to a Dango stand he's never been in before and Tenten saw how Naruto was looking nervous and she said "Relax. I eat here all the time." as she walked up to the counter and Naruto followed a couple of steps back.
The man at the counter saw Tenten and said "Oh, hello Tenten, what can I get for you."
Tenten said "I'll take 2 orders of the usual."
The man said "2, you must be really hungry today to eat 6 Dango."
Tenten said "No, my friend here just got out of the hospital and I thought I show him what good Dango taste like." as she grabbed Naruto shirt pulling him forward.
The man glanced at Naruto and frowned a second before he said "Sure. Coming right up." as he turned and started to make the Dango.
Tenten said "See, nothing to worry about...but your paying for both of ours as payback for what you did in the woods."
Naruto snorts and said "So is this my last meal before you kill me."
Tenten put her finger to her chin and said "Hmm...maybe." with a smirk.
The man came back with 2 plates with 3 Dango's and Tenten said "Thanks Haru, Pay the man and let's go get a booth Naruto."
Naruto sighed and pulled out his wallet and said "How much."
Haru said "$10."
Naruto nods and hands him the money and said "Thank you." quitely as he bowed slightly.
Haru blinked and said "Hey, come again." as he turned and went back to the kitchen part to clean up.
Naruto smiled slightly and walked over and sat down across from Tenten who had went and bought a couple of bottles of water from a machine and he said "So...."
Tenten took a bite of her Dango and after swallowing and taking a sip of water watching as Naruto squirmed under her uncarring look she asked "So...now that you know your not dying, do you regret what happened in the woods." as she took another bite.
Naruto said "Um...not really. I do but I don't. I regret that I put you in that situation but I'm glad I did also because I honestly feel that way about you and if I was dying like I thought I was then I don't regret giving my first kiss to you or trying to show you how much you mean to me...I know you don't feel the same way about me and I accept that but there is no one I would rather have been there for me in my last moments then you."
Tenten looked out onto the street and said "Why didn't you tell me what was going on Naruto...why did I have to see you with blood coming out of your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth from internal bleeding." as she turned glaring at him.
Naruto looked down under her glare and said "I wanted the last moments we had together to be filled with happiness so that way when you looked back you could remember me with a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart...that way even if the rest of the world forgot about me there would be a part of me left in your heart."
Tenten turned her head and frowned and said "Naruto....I....I want honesty between us from now on...I know how you feel about me and yes I do care for you..it maybe only friends or it maybe more but there has got to be honesty, even if one of us is dying....do you understand."
Naruto said "Yeah."
Tenten said "Good....so I saw you have been getting better with your kenjutsu so how are the rest of your skills going."
Naruto glad for the change in subjects said "Well...my chakra control still sucks but I'm going to focus on that heavily once I get back to training in 3 days. I've also gotten better with the use of my bloodline and I can pick chakra signatures up to 10 yards and I could identify some chakra signatures but not many. Um, my speed has improved since I am now carrying the total amount of weights that you wanted me to stop at but I don't like how bulky they are and how long it takes to put them on and off so I am going to see if I can't figure out a way to release them faster or zero them out....um...I've been doing 200 situps, pushups, squats, jumping jacks, punches and kicks every day while also running 2 laps around the village first thing in the morning and before I stop for the day...I've had a couple kagebunshins reading up on anatomy, chakra, kenjutsu, taijutsu, strategy, and medicine.....um....seals are coming along greatly and I've been improving on them and my brush strokes greatly but I guess we know why now huh." with a half chuckle
Tenten chuckled lightly and said "Yeah...so how about that seal we talked about...you know, the one for kunoichi."
Naruto thought a moment and said "Oh, that one." as he unsealed the scroll from his shoulder and unsealed a scroll inside of the scroll and unsealed a tag and he handed the square tag to Tenten and said "Here, put it on your arm and channel chakra into it."
Tenten said "Huh...why, what will happen."
Naruto said "You will turn into a guy."
Tenten eyes widen and said in a raised voice "You finished it already." as she put the tag on her arm and sent chakra into it and she was covered in smoke and when it cleared Tenten had turned into her dad and and she looked at her hands and grabbed a napkin holder and looked at herself and said "Hey, I look like dad...I also sound like him."
Naruto smirked and said "Yeah, what I did was configure the seal to draw the image of some male you have in your memories. That is only a prototype that will last for 4 minutes before it wears off. I can configure it for longer later."
Tenten felt her body and said "Woah...that's wierd feeling that down there." as she was covered in smoke.
Naruto laughed and Tenten looked at the tag that burned away and she said "You did it, you actually made a seal to protect kunoichi from getting raped." in an excited voice.
A female voice said "Well done Naruto." causing both Tenten and Naruto to look over and saw Kurenai and Anko standing there.
Naruto said "Hey, your the sensei for team 8."
Kurenai said "Yes I am. My name is Kurenai and this is my friend Anko. The Sandaime was showing us our teams the day of team selection when you and Tenten here were talking about the seal you created. I'm impressed that you were able to actually create it...may I give it a try."
Naruto shrugged and said "Sure, I guess." as he unsealed another tag and handed one to her and to Anko who both put it on and were covered in smoke appearing as different males and both woman began to feel their bodies and move around them and Anko said in a male voice "Wow gaki. This is real, I can even feel the club I'm packing in my pants."
Kurenai said "Blunt as always...an actual shapeshift...trully amazing Naruto."
Naruto frowned and said "To bad it won't really protect kunoichi from rape." as he looked down.
Anko, Kurenai and Tenten blinked and looked at him and Tenten said "But it will Naruto."
Naruto said "Only one or two kunoichi until word gets around about the seal and then people will learn how to get around it by waiting until the time limit expires and then the kunoichi will get raped then and while they are waiting to change back the people holding them can torture them in other ways. The problem isn't actually the rape, it's what caused them to get captured in the first place that's the problem." as Anko and Kurenai changed back.
Anko said "What do you mean Gaki."
Naruto said "Well...I thought about what would happen when a kunoichi used the seal. Would they get some of their chakra back, will they be freed from their bindings if their tied down, will the guys holding them down let go of them. If they been poisoned will the poison be cured. If they were captured because they ran out of chakra or were physically exhausted from fighting or running or if they were wounded what good would the seal I design actually do for them."
Kurenai said "I guess your right." sounding dejected
Naruto said "Yeah, that's why I am designing another seal to actually fix those problems and I've got some good ideas but I need information that I can only get from a kunoichi to proceed from where I am at."
Tenten said "What am I, chop liver." as she crossed her arms.
Naruto said "No, that's not what I meant Tenten. I mean I need to speak with a kunouchi whose done seduction missions. One whose willing to talk about sexual related questions and be honest with me so I can create the seal safely without causing side effects like making a woman sterile or causing her to injure her lover or husband durring intercoarse that had accidently activated the seal I'm creating."
Tenten blushed and said "Oh....well what does this seal your designing do."
Kurenai said "Yeah, I might be willing to answer your questions if I think the seal your designing is worth it."
Anko said "So will I since I've done those missions on several occassions."
Naruto looked at Tenten and said "You don't mind if they join us do you. I mean..."
Tenten said "No, it's fine, this is important and I know both these ladies from when they come in my family shop...besides, I might learn something."
Naruto smiled and said "Alright, please join us then if you don't mind because this will take a few minutes to explain my idea."
Tenten scooted over and Kurenai and Anko set down and Naruto said "Well, have you heard of the curse seal."
Anko tensed and Kurenai glanced at her and Tenten said "No, why."
Naruto said "Well, it's a seal designed by Orochimaru and I only actually know about it thanks to notes the Yondaime left about it so I'm mostly going by his notes here. What it basically does is open one of the Celestrial gates, the Heal gate actually, to release the chakra into the body causing it to recover quicker shortening the users life span a few seconds. It does a lot more then that but that is all I need to explain before I explain what I've been coming up with. When the gates open they release so much chakra into a person body that it starts to break the muscles of the body from overload and it increases a person speed, strength, and chakra for as long as they have the gate open while it is also destroying the body. Now imagine that your being held down or tied down where you couldn't get free and if you did get free either the poison in your system would make it where you couldn't do much or you were so tired or low on chakra you couldn't do much."
Tenten frowned and said "Your thinking of using the celestrial gates to overcome this."
Naruto said "Yes and no. What good is fixing those problems if your body is destroyed before you could use it. Because of this I have been working on a way to first activate the first gate and only the first gate. When the chakra goes into the body a second seal will activate drawing the extra chakra out of your body to keep it from breaking down damaging your body but I thought if I did that what could I do with the chakra the seal was absorbing and then I thought well if your tied up or being held down how about a way to cut yourself free so I am designing a seal that will convert the extra chakra that is being absorbed into wind natured chakra that will cut the metal, flesh, bones, or whatever else it is that is holding you down as your entire body is covered in wind chakra so no matter how much you are tied up or how many are holding you down you would be free in just a few seconds and you would have energy and chakra to use again. Now the wind chakra would last for as long as the seal last so every punch or kick you do would not only do damage from the actual punch or kick but also cut a person and if you hit a person in the neck you could cut their head right off or cut off an arm or leg depending on how much chakra is being released...but imagine if you waited till the right moment to activate the seal, if a guy was getting ready to...you know. When the seal activated you would cut off his dick with the wind chakra ending one enemy for sure."
Tenten was shocked as she heard this and said "Woah." as both Kurenai and Anko eyes widen and Anko got a gleam in her eyes.
Naruto said "But that's not all, you see, any weapon used against you would be cut or deflected also by the wind chakra unless it was made of special chakra resistant metal so basically as long as an enemy doesn't use a fire jutsu you would be basically unstoppable for a few minutes. I can't leave the gate open for long so I probably will have to set the seal where it could only be active for 10 minutes as to not destroy your body even with the extra chakra being pulled off and I still have to deal with the poison but I was thinking about making a transferable storage seal that can be placed in a kunoichi mouth where all she has to do is release the seal and a antidote pill, a soldier pill, or a blood pill could be released to save her time and enemies wouldn't be able to look for them but I would need to speak with an older kunoichi about that since they would know about what could and couldn't be done for seduction missions. YOu wouldn't want to release a stored pill in your mouth while having oral sex now would you."
Anko laughed and said "I like your style kid but what about damage from the wind chakra coming back and cutting up the kunoichi who uses it in the first place."
Naruto shook his head and said "You forgot the seal you 3 already used. It creates a new body that is bigger then your own body and your cloths changed as well. It would cut that body up and you would feel the cuts and it would cut the cloths for the shapeshift but once the jutsu was released and you went back to your real body you wouldn't have any actual damage from the wind chakra and if what I read about the celestrial gates is real you won't feel the pain from the cuts anyways since your body will be feeling like it's going a hundred miles an hour already basically."
Kurenai said "So for 10 minutes you could give a kunoichi a fighting chance to fight against her attackers."
Naruto said "I know it seems like a short amount of time and odds are this will be classified as a kinjutsu because opening the celestrial gates is a forbidden jutsu in the first place but I would rather brake a few rules and give a kunoichi a chance to fight back and try to escape then the alternative. Maybe she won't make it but maybe she will and if she doesn't she will at least get the satisfaction of giving her attackers one more act of defiance and maybe take a few of them out before they are able to capture her again if they can capture her alive. This seal is meant as a last resort kind of thing."
Kurenai thought a moment and said "Hmm...so how long do you think it will take you to create this seal."
Naruto said "Depends really. If you and Anko answer some of my questions so I can figure out if you using a birth control jutsu or seduction jutsu would interfere with the seal I am designing I could have it done in 3 or 4 months most likely. If I can get jiji to let me see any notes he has on Orochimaru curse seal or show me one so I can see what seal design and chakra pattern he used to open the heal gate so I can figure out how to open the first celestrial gate then it will cut a lot of time off of desinging it. If I actually knew how to open them myself I wouldn't need to study the curse seal or try to recreate it from the notes the Yondaime left me. Then once I get the seal finished I'll have to test it on a couple thousand of my kagebunshin to see what it does to them and then find a kunoichi who knows a clone jutsu besides the accademy one that I can use the seal on to see what reactions her clone experience and see if it works right. If it does then I either have to get the Hokage and the council permission to offer the seal which will be hard or I have to find someone willing to privately sell the seal to kunoichi. I also need to simplify the seal enough that it can be put on a kunoichi quickly and either be hidden by a tattoo or a genjutsu seal to make it invisible since I doubt you would want everyone to see seals all over your body."
Anko asked "Why did the Yondaime leave notes on seals to you."
Naruto thought "Crap..." and Tenten said "Because of the you know what. Seals degrade over time so someone has to inspect it from time to time to make sure it hasn't degraded to much and if it has to be repaired. Who better then him."
Anko said "I see....what do you think of Orochimaru gaki."
Naruto frowned and said "I really don't know that much about him. I know that he can summon snakes and he's a Sannin who created the curse seal and was trained by jiji. Besides that I don't know anything about him....why."
Anko said "What do you think about the curse seal he created."
Naruto said "Truthfully...from what I read about it I think the bastard should be killed. The curse seal only has a 10 percent chance of survival and I have a few theories about what he was trying to do with them based on the notes and if I am right then I have no respect for him."
Anko smiled and said "I see....What do you think of this." as she leaned forward and moved her jacket collar to show the curse seal on her neck.
Naruto looked at it and Tenten asked "What is that."
Naruto said "The curse seal of Heaven....Hmm.....how long ago did you get this Anko."
Anko frowned and said "16 years ago."
Naruto said "And nobody removed if for you."
Anko and Kurenai eyes widen and Anko leaned back and said "Remove it...it can't be removed."
Naruto leaned back and smirked and said "Yeah, it can. Yours is a prototype version of it, isn't it."
Anko said "Yeah, how did you know."
Naruto said "The seal array isn't complete and most of the basic functions are set to try and isolate what it is that kills 90 percent of those infected with it which from looking at it I can make a pretty good guess and if I'm right then Orochimaru is a fucking idiot for missing something so simple as that. You don't use it do you."
Anko who was looking at Naruto with a little hope but mostly hidden shook her head no and Naruto said "Good, I say you could only use it safely about 10 times before you would die from chakra poisoning. Maybe less. What I can't figure out though is why he would be trying to change.....wait, let me see that again."
Anko leaned forward again and Naruto whistled and said "Hello, what do we have here."
Anko asked in a scared voice "What...what do you see."
Naruto bit his lip and sat back down and said "Do you know if Orochimaru has used the curse seal on anyone else since he gave it to you Anko."
Anko said "Yes he has. We had a couple of spies we found a few years back that had them on them...why."
Naruto said "Do you know the Kagebunshin no jutsu."
Anko said "I know of it but I don't know it."
Naruto said "Alright.....well the Kagebunshin when dispells transfer it's memories to the original and the other kagebunshin but the distance the memories travel degrades the memories....If I am right, then Orochimaru original body is dead and he is now jumping from one body to another."
Kurenai said "What....what do you mean."
Naruto said "The curse seal is designed to activate the heal gate and when the chakra is released into the body then it is absorbed into a seal that converts it to mimic Orochimaru own chakra....the reason he is doing that is because he is trying to turn a persons body into basically a living kagebunshin so when he dies or his body dies his memories will transfer to the closest person with a curse seal...someone who has a more advance version of one that Anko has that has used the seal a lot to make their chakra network mimic Orochimaru enough to accept the memories which will allow him to take over a person mind and body from the inside out giving him a new body to use. He's also using the heal gate to cause the cells that are healing the body as it breaks down to mutate them to match the cells of his body making the body switching process more successful. I would have to examine a newer curseseal to be sure but I am fairly sure about what I just said and I figure that he has to change bodies around every 3 to 5 years as the body he is in begins to reject him and degrades to much....when he put it on you he bit you didn't he."
Anko said "Yeah."
Naruto said "That's how he transfered the genetic sequence to make a person body more resemble his...if I am right then he could possibly take bloodlines also this way by taking over a body that has a bloodline and then when he bites a person giving them the curse mark they would have the cells containing the person with the bloodline had in the transfer so when he takes over that body he would gain a new body as well as a new bloodline."
Tenten asked "Are you sure about that Naruto."
Naruto said "No, not without seeing a newer curse seal but based on what I am seeing here on Anko seal I can make a pretty educated guess since hers is basically a blue print for all the curse seals that came after it if I am right and with that blue print I should be able to remove the seal. It would only require some blood from the person who has the seal and them being able to make a kagebunshin."
Anko asked "Why would you need my blood and for me to make a kagebunshin."
Naruto said "The seal is currently encoded to Orochimaru Chakra and blood. By destroying the encoding seal for the blood and chakra we would be breaking the link he has to you but in order to do that without the failsafe activating and killing you we would first have to insert a blood encoding seal and a chakra encoding seal with your blood and your chakra so that way when we destroy his encoding seals and the failsafe actiaved the seal won't trigger the protection seal and kill you. Once we encode it to you and destroy his encoding seal all we have to do is have you release the Kagebunshin that is stored in the chakra incoding seal which would cause the seal to collapse and free you of it completely. Of coarse before I tried to remove it I would ask someone with more experience then me like Jiraiya to review what I've come up with and make sure there are no hidden traps that I am missing that I don't have information on and if so he can explain them to me so we can work on getting by them but with his help based on what I am seeing here then it shouldn't take long to get rid of the seal. I could try it myself but I prefer to be safe and make sure that nothing happens to you before doing it."
Anko asked in a hopeful voice "But you do think it's possible to remove the seal."
Naruto said "Yes. The only reason I don't attempted it myself is because there might be a hidden seal I can't see or don't know of and because my brush strokes aren't good enough yet to try it without making one area weaker then another possibly harming you from my own lack of skills but I can talk to Jiji about asking Jiraiya to come back to Konoha and when he does we can meet with him and discuss it and then once he agrees with what I found then we can remove it for y....." as he was stopped by Anko jumping across the table and kissing him passionately shocking Tenten and Kurenai.
Naruto was frozen in place and after Anko let go she said seductively "If you need a live demonstration on any of those questions you want to ask I'll be more then happy to demonstrate them on you."
Naruto coughed and glanced at Tenten who was gaping and said "Um...I don't think a live demonstration will be required but thanks for the offer...um....What was that for if I might ask."
Anko plopped down beside him and wrapped her arm around him and said "Your my new plushy. This seal has been ruining my life for years and nobody has tried to come up with a way to remove it but you have given me hope that someday soon the seal will be gone. For that you have my eternal gratitude gaki. If you need anything...ANYTHING. All you have to do is ask and I'll get it for you gaki." saying ANYTHING seductively
Kurenai smacked her head and said "Anko, he's already seeing someone. Right." as she looked at Tenten.
Tenten said "Um...actually..."
Naruto said "Were just friends for now. She saved my life when I had a training accident and been visiting me in the hospital the past couple of day I was there and when I got out earlier I wanted to repay her for saving my life so we came here to get the....hey where the rest of my Dango go."
Anko began to whistle innocently and said "What." as everyone looked at her.
Kurenai said "Oh...I thought with the way you and her were talking about some kiss earlier that you were dating."
Naruto winced as Tenten glared at him and she said "He did kiss me but that was because he thought he was dying from his training accident and he might have if I hadn't of gotten him to the hospital so soon. He had internal bleeding inside his skull with blood coming out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth."
At this Anko and Kurenai eyes widen and Anko asked "What the hell kind of training were you doing to cause that kind of damage gaki."
Naruto sighed and looked around and whispered "Look, the only reason I'm going to tell you this is because Tenten seems to trust you both and your both willing to help me so I'm starting to trust you both also...The Yondaime didn't actually leave me notes but instead he sealed all his knowledge of seals into a seal that I recently activated that downloaded all his years of knowledge on seals into my head at one time causing mental feedback and caused my brain to swell nearly killing me. With that knowledge added to what I've been learning myself by having my kagebunshin experimenting with seals everyday finding out what happens when you do this to that and what that does when placed here my seal knowledge is probably high Chunnin to low Jounin already and the more I can go through the memories he gave me then the better I will get."
Anko said "Damn, talk about a gift."
Naruto said "Yeah...but please don't tell anyone. I....I don't want people thinking that I only gotten my skills because of the Yondaime giving me his memories. I have several kagebunshin working all day long every day studying seals, practicing, drawing, and experimenting finding the ins and outs of seals even before I got his memories and I never asked for these memories, they were given to me without my consent just like furball and both have caused me pain and suffering with very little reward so far."
Kurenai said "You hate him, don't you....the way you spat out the words Yondaime and his earlier makes it sound like you hate him."
Naruto frowned and looked down and after a few seconds said "Do you honestly want to know that answer."
Tenten saw the hurt look in Naruto eyes and said "I do."
Naruto said "I want to hate him, I desire to hate him. He sealed a demon inside me that has caused me to live a life of pain, suffering, and loneliness. He tried to dictate my future by placing me in 2 arrange marriages, he set me up to recieve his memories without explaining it to anyone nearly causing my death, he was incomputent with a seal that would have let me have my mother in my life and it was only after 15 years that I finally met my mother for the first time, he left me with no home, no money, no one to look after me when I needed someone most and I want to pay him back for every ounce of pain I have felt because of him......but how can I hate the man who help give me life." as he got up and began to leave.
It took only a couple of seconds for Kurenai and Anko to understand what he meant by his last statement and both their eyes widen as they looked at his retreating back and both looked at Tenten who was looking at Naruto sadly and Kurenai said "What did he mean by that."
Tenten frowned and said "Nothing....don't worry about it....I need to get going to see dad. I haven't been home since yesterday." as she got up but Kurenai and Anko placed their hands on her shoulders and pushed her back down and Anko said "Hold up buns. You owe Nia and me for all the tips and advice we went out of our way to give you over the years. The least you can do is tell us what's going on."
Tenten bit her lip and sighed and said "Alright...but you can't tell most of this because it will either get me or him in trouble and can we go someplace more private."
Both ladies nod leading her to Kurenai's home and when they got there Tenten began to explain what all has been happening since the day of the forbidden scroll. By the time she finished Anko and Kurenai were completely floored and Anko said "Woah...that's some fucked up shit."
Kurenai said "So your an heiress to a clan."
Tenten said "Yes but please don't tell anyone. I don't even know that much about my clan in the first place...in fact I learned more from Kushina about my clans history then I did my own dad....I still need to bust his balls over that though."
Kurenai said "Alright Tenten. Naruto someone Konoha and Kunouchis need badly on our side. The things he are trying to do are to great to ignore so I am going to put him on the RED List."
Anko and Tenten eyes widen and Tenten said "The RED List, but that's..."
Kurenai said "I know. Every kunoichi, accademy student on up, active, injured, or retired will see it and when I put down what all he is doing things will change for the better for him. He trust you. If anything happens or anyone causes him trouble I want you to inform me or Anko immediately."
Anko said "Definately. The gaki is a gift from heaven."
Tenten bit her lip and asked "Please try to keep it for things he's actually done, not because of his parents."
Kurenai said "I'll make sure that people respect him for his skills. We already have enough people getting smoke blowed up their asses for nothing. He deserves this though."
Tenten said "Alright...I need to get going. It's getting late."
Anko said "I will walk you out." as she got up and walked Tenten to the door and after Tenten left Anko looked at Kurenai and said "The RED list. You sure you want to do that."
Kurenai said "Yes."
Anko shook her head and said "Alright, let's work on what to put in the column without breaking our word."
When Tenten got home Dustin was sitting behind the counter and said "Hello dear, how is he."
Tenten said "Oh, he's doing better but you know dad...I was thinking about how dangerous it is being a kunoichi and I'm worried I might die a virgin so I'm going to ask my fiance to help me with that problem. I just hope he's at least longer then a minute man."
Dustin looked shocked a few moments before he frowned and said "Why do I think I know where this is going."
Tenten said "It's true, isn't it. He's really my fiance and you slept with his mom and took her virginity." as she glared at her dad putting her hands on her hips.
Dustin sighed and said "Yes....how did you find out."
Tenten said "Kushina....I met her." as she moved her head around and pointed toward the seal.
Dustin was shocked and asked "How."
Tenten then explained about the sealing and about meeting Kushina and saving Naruto before she said "So now Naruto and I are going to be friends and get to know each other before we decide anything else." as she crossed her arms across her chest.
Dustin looked down and said "Tenten....there's something I think you should know."
Tenten said "Really, like what else could you tell me that pales in comparison to the fact I'm engaged to someone I only just met though I was suppose to grow up with him."
Dustin sighed and said "It's the secret that Kushina is still keeping from Naruto, it's the reason why the Mizukage sent an assassin here to kill her which resulted in her condition and your mothers death. The reason is..." as he explained it to her. (I know, am I not cruel not telling you this but the reason is you will learn it when Naruto does.)
Meanwhile across town in the woods, Naruto ignoring the words of the Sandaime was slashing at a kagebunshin with his sword who was deflecting with the other sword and Naruto thought "Damn it, I want to hate him...but can't."
