Greetings from beyond the knew, everyone it's your lovable host, yet again.
I'm glad that you are all here today, as it is time for our favorite part of the fic REVIEW CORNER!
Last time, we had some guests in our midst, this time is no different. Today we have some good ones, first up, is the sexy cat witch, Blair( tips her hat in a suggestive manner), as well as soul's old partner, Maka Albarn.(waves to the crowd)
Darkvizardking69: it is good having you both here, want to help with the reviews?
Maka: sure, you helped out tsubaki-chan, so why not.
Darkvizardking69: what about you Blair?
Blair: of course I will, you'll introduce me to naru-kun, won't you vizard-sama?
Darkvizardking69: of course I will Blair, in due time, now let's get to what we are here for, let's get to the reviews. Maka, would start us off?
Maka: OBSERVER01: Thanks, the idea came from nowhere, I just thought it on the spot. And soul won't be the odd man out for long, someone special to him will enter very soon. And the harem is larger than that, but you have a good idea of it.
Blair: Agurra of the darkness: yeah,the popularity will go down, but on the bright side, no girls are gonna rape the poor guy at least, and yeah, it was kinda a last minute idea, was out of the blue for me too.
Maka: Raidentensho: yeah, medusa was spying on him, but she is not necessarily an enemy in this, she could have been looking out for him, it is my story, so I control it.
Blair:GingitsuneRaposo: yeah, I always figured that it would go that way, should he actually be cornered like that, but, as a guy, I must show sympathy, even to the enemy, as in the ninja world, an enemy can become your best friend.
Maka:Kamen Rider X Knight: I know I shouldn't, but it was funny to say.
Blair:dragoon95: thanks, but because of school, I can only update on the weekends, as I will have little time during the week.
Maka:animefangirl0219: I am glad that you made this story an exception, and I hope that you continue to enjoy it, as I continue to enjoy writing it.
And that's the reviews, thanks to all who had, and please keep doing it, as I can't do what people want to see otherwise. I know people have a lot of questions, and they will be answered in this chap. With that out of the way, as the artist pink once said, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!
Naruto, the shinigami-shinobi meister
Chapter 5: explanations, remembrance, reunion
Sasuke was sweating, as her secret was revealed, she, naruto, tsubaki, hinata were heading to ichiraku ramen for lunch, at naruto's insistance, as they were going to eat, and walk hinata home. Seeing as naruto's home was near the hyuuga household,it was a good idea. This still did not put sasuke at ease, because if the coucil found out, mostly the civilian council, would most likely vote for her to be used as breeding stock to keep the sharingan in the village.(good reason, I would hide that if that was the case)
Naruto, being a gentleman, had asked her to join them for lunch, and speak when they reached the privacy of the namikaze compound.
(ichiraku ramen)
the group walks in to the restaurant, the owner teuchi(sp?) greeted them as they sat down
"hello naruto, I see that you passed the genin exams, good for you, my, you certainly have an entourage with you today, don't you? So what will you all have?" he said/asked with a smile on his face.
" i'll have a miso ramen, old man" naruto said as he ordered.
" I'll have a beef ramen." Tsubaki said as she ordered.
" I'll also have a miso ramen" hinata ordered.( still won't do the stutter)
" and what will you have Uchiha-san?" teuchi asked
" I'll have a shrimp ramen." sasuke ordered, still a little nervous.
Teuchi took their orders, and went into the back to make them, leaving the group alone at the moment.
Naruto, wanting to break the silence, turned to sasuke and asked "so 'sasuke', how is your jonin sensei, and having to deal with the pink banshee and dog-shit?"
"well, kakshi just read his stupid book the whole time, kiba tries to think of ways to get hinata here to like him, or him into her pants. That stupid bitch sakura tries to either get me to date her, or get me alone. I hate it." sasuke replied.
Everyone was shocked to hear this, as they knew kiba was after hinata, but not this badly. Naruto knew of kakashi, so the book was no surprise. And considering what the group saw earlier, naruto would not trust sakura alone with her, as the fan-girls from before were not as crazy as the pink bitch.
( yeah, i'm really bashing sakura,aren't I, should I stop, HELL NO.)
"geez, that sucks, let me guess, kakashi tried to give you training on the side?" naruto asked
before sasuke can answer, teuchi came back out with their meals, which everyone took their chopsticks,broke them, and said "Idakimasu"(sp?). After that, everyone was quiet, while they ate their meals.
As soon as the meal was finished, the group walked hinata home, as it was on the way, then the group of three arrived at the namikaze estate.
(Namikaze estate-living room)
as the group entered the home, Tsubaki went to tell soul, liz, and patty that they were home, as well as that naruto was speaking with a guest, and not to disturb them.
Naruto and sasuke sat on twin couches that were separated by a coffee table, with the couches facing each other.
"alright 'sasuke', we have some privacy now, so would you like to explain yourself, and why you seem different?" naruto asked with a serious expression on his face.
Sasuke sighed, as she knew it was time to fess up. She started, " well, first of all, my name really is'nt sasuke, that was a name I was forced to use, for two reasons. One, my father had me act like a boy, as he never liked the thought of having a daughter, which he kept from everyone. The second reason, was if the council found out, I would be forced to act as a breeding stock for the sharingan, as itachi would not come back to restart a clan he destroyed. That was not a life I wanted, as no female uchiha ever joined the shinobi program, it was against clan rules."
"i see, knowing how obsessed the council is about bloodlines, you made the right decision. This is something that I promise will stay hidden, until you decide otherwise. Although, now that you are a ninja, the hokage can decide what to do with you, and the civilian council can do jack shit about it. In this case, he can prevent you from being used in such manners, also, as you are the last uchiha, you are automatically the clan head, and thus can change the rules of your clan." naruto responded.
Sasuke nodded, showing that she understood, and was happy that naruto could keep this a secret. She was surprised that she did not think of it before. Looking at naruto, she seen that he had more to say.
"You did say that sasuke was not your real name, if you don't mind me asking, what is your real name, as calling you sasuke will not do anymore." naruto asked. " do note that I will only call you your real name in private,as we are now, but in public, I will still call you sasuke, it is your choice.
"my real name, is mikoto, I was going to be named after my mother, but I did not know till my mother told me, away from my 'father'." she said, having a scowl on her face at having to remember the man.
Naruto looked at mikoto, then moved to the other couch, and sat next to her. He then looked at her and said, "I'm grateful that you can trust me with this, as I doubt with the council breathing down your neck, you would trust anyone. But you have nothing to fear, as no one in this household would tell those bastards anything. They have tried to get me killed on multiple occasions, as the civilian and elder council cannot see the difference, between a jail, and the prisoner."
Mikoto was shocked, this was something she did not expect from him. But it was assuring that he had a reason to go against the council. It seemed that he had his own secrets.
Naruto said, " if there is any trouble, come find me, those bastards will not win on this one." as he said this, he walked mikoto to the door, and opened it to let her out. As she walked through, she took a step back, and gave naruto a hug, while whispering, "Thank you."
And with that, she left for home.
As naruto closed the door, he caught the scent of snake, not the kind for a summon, but it had a more soul based feeling to it. Looking around, he saw nothing, but following his nose, he found a snake hiding in the windowsill. It did not look poisonous, but it had the markings of multiple arrows on it.(guess who)
When he moved closer to it, it did not try to attack him, in fact, it almost seemed friendly. It did not look like a summon, as while there was a snake contract, none were ever known to have those markings. It seemed, almost familiar to him. Thinking nothing else from it, he let the snake crawl up his arm. That was when he noticed that the snake had yellow eyes. It brought back a memory from when he was younger, before he found tsubaki and the others.
(Flashback: naruto 4-years old)
Naruto continued to run, as a mob was chasing him through the streets, he went around a corner, but it turned out to be a bad idea, as the alley was a dead end. The mob inched closer, thinking that they finally had him(idiots).
Naruto was praying that someone would come to help. He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come, as it usually did. It was only a few minutes long when the beating stopped, when he opened his eyes, naruto saw a woman in a black hood, protecting him. At least that was what he could see. But it did not matter to him, at least someone was helping him.
The villagers were not so happy with the interference, and one idiot decided to show it.
" get out of our way, wench, how dare you stop us from killing the demon. That beast must be destroyed." said one idiot villager.
Medusa, mearly looks back at naruto, who sees her yellow eyes, but when she turns to face the crowd again, her eyes turn evil-looking ( when her eyes are slited, as well as the whites turn black.)
"who the hell do you think you are, baka-ningen(stupid-human), what I see is a child, one who can do nothing to you, yet you attack him in a manner that not even demons would dare. And people wonder why I hate humans." medusa replied. She was MAD, as even the tattoo's on her arms were seething.
She then started to chant, " snake.. nake.. cobra... COBARA" as she chanted, the tattoo's came off her arm, turned into medium-sized snakes, and they proceeded to devour the crowd.
The hokage was watching with his orb, and was glad someone finally was taking a stand,as he was going to deal with the crowd, had medusa not showed up when she did. Knowing naruto was safe, the third went to bed. He did not see what happened next.
Medusa turned back to naruto to heal his injuries( she was a doctor at one point, and a good one), when she saw that his injuries were already healing, she was interested. She scanned his soul wavelength, and saw that there was a wavelength that was similar, somewhere to the east. Something told her to find it, and bring it back.(can you guess)
She knew that she could not stay long, or she would lose track, so she left a snake to watch over the boy( the same one that she used to stay alive in the show) and vanished, only to return years later(where we are now).
(End flashback)
naruto could only look at the snake in disbelief, not even speaking, as it then began to speak
"ah, naruto-kun, i'm glad you remember me now, this snake was to relay a message to you when you did. As I am sure you know, my name is medusa, and I have been watching your progress through this serpent. The reason I have not been with you since that night was because I was looking for someone. I saw your soul wavelength, and sensed a similar one off to the east, I have been tracking it for some time now, and have caught up to it. The wavelength I sensed, was that of your mother apparently."
at this, naruto was stunned, he was not sure if his mother was alive, or abandoned him. He then noticed that the snake was waiting to continue, showing it had more to say. It continued,
"as I expect, you must be shocked at this, I was as well, till I found out why she left. It seems a council member, by the name of danzo, had told your mother that you and your father had died that night, since there was no proof of you alive, such as your body at the time, she was heartbroken, and could not bear to stay. She was never the wiser that you had lived, had she, she would have stayed. She did not even know, till I told her of course. She did not believe me at first, but I showed her a visual of you, and then she agreed to come back, for two reasons. One, to see you and apologize. Two, beat the heel out of that one armed bastard, her words, not mine, though I agree with her. We will arrive in two weeks time, as I have to move at a speed she could keep up with. She has not kept with her training, for obvious reasons. Her name, is Kushina Uzumaki, and she really wants to see you. Until then, see you later, naruto-sama."
and with that, the snake disappeared, it's mission complete.
Naruto could only stand there in shock and disbelief, his mother, was alive, loved him, and was coming back home. She did not hate him, she was not like the rest of the village. She was betrayed, and even the old man did not know this happened.
Tsubaki came in shortly after, as well as Soul, Liz, and Patty. When they saw the look in his eyes, they wanted to know what happened. And so he told them everything. From his discussion with mikoto, to the message the snake left him. He made them swear that the conversation with mikoto would stay private. When they heard the name the snake gave him, they all had scared looks on their faces, when he asked why tsubaki started to explain.
"Naruto-kun, medusa was a witch that we fought years ago, she was as cold-blooded as her snakes, caring for no one but her self. We all thought she died after the last encounter with her, if she is telling you this, it would be wise not to trust her. We also have to call lord death, and tell him of this, but that is something only meisters were able to do( I only saw maka do it, don't know if that is true.)."
naruto was confused, this did not sound like the woman who not only saved his life, but promised him that she was coming back with his mother, it made no sense to him.
"But wait, that can't be right, she seemed so nice, she even saved my life once, I know she did the chant you say witches do, but, this just can't be, maybe she changed, that can happen right, that girl blair was a witch, but she was good right, so can't it happen to medusa too?" naruto said.
Tsubaki shook her head, "naruto-kun, you have to understand, medusa is not the kind of person to just change sides like that, she hates humans, and she only is out for herself. I doubt what she said is true, but let's ask the old man if that was your mother's name, if it was, then maybe she changed."
naruto breathed a sigh of relief, if any one would know his mother, it would be the old man. The group set out, heading to the hokage's office.
Little did the group know that medusa and kushina were already there.
(hokage's office)
in front of the hokage, were three women. One was dressed in a black sleeveless hoodie, with sweatpants that came to the knees, and were in a bulb shape, she wore no footwear. She also had two snake tattoo's,one for each arm, she had her blonde hair in a braid that came to her front,(similar to unohana's, just shorter). Her yellow eyes were focused on the old man. This was the infamous snake witch, medusa.
The shorter of the three, wore a black dress that came down to her ankles, as well as had a collar that was open. She also wore wrist guards, that showed she knew how to fight. She also had a nervous look on her face, and held her right arm with her left. Her pink hair was dressed in a similar fashion to hinata. Her light-blue eyes only adding to her nervous look, as she continued to look around, as if something were to jump out at her(looks that way to me). She was medusa's daughter, chrona.
The last of the three, wore a more civilian style of clothing, as she wore a yellow dress, with a brown apron-type thing(NO IDEA what it is). Her red hair simply flowing down her back down to her waist. Her green eyes showed a fury that the third knew, he better not be on the shit-list, or else.
It was at this time that the hokage spoke, choosing his words carefully, lest he become the target, "kushina, where have you been the last fifteen years, your son was forced to live a life of doubt , at whether or not you were even alive. I could not have the heart to tell him otherwise, lest he think you hate him. The village did not have a good affect on him till he made some associates when he was five."
"who could these associates be, and-" kushina was cut off, as medusa chose this time to speak, "naruto-sama should be arriving now, as they were expected to."
Kushina was shocked, her son was coming here, at that time the door opened.
Naruto walked into the room, seeing the three women at the desk, one he recognized as the one who saved him. Medusa walked up to him, and said, "you see, naruto-sama, I did as I said I would, I have brought your mother, as well as someone I want you to meet, but that can wait, (kisses naruto on the forehead) go on, your mother is waiting."
soul and the others were shocked, this was not the medusa they knew, she almost seemed, caring, scratch that, it seemed that she LOVED him.(didn't see that coming, did ya guys)
naruto could only move past medusa, and when he saw the red-haired woman, he could only say a single word, "M-mother", and with that, mother and son ran at each other, and embraced each other.
Mother and son were finally reunited.
AN: yeah, gonna end it here, next chapter will explain how medusa found kushina, naruto speaking to his great gradnfather, maka and blair arrive, as well as naruto starting my favorite arc: THE WAVE MISSION. Stay tuned, as I have more thrills for you all.
