Chapter 19 – Trouble for Konoha…

After leaving the bridge and entering Konoha Naruto and Hinata took to wearing cloaks. Sasuke's repeated questioning was ignored. Several miles away from Konoha the two teams split the Konoha shinobi returned to Konoha and the Whirlpool shinobi, plus Haku, headed towards another village.

"You are not going to Konoha to make a report?" Kakashi asked politely.

"No my dear Kakashi. We have another mission to complete, but you can tell the Third we will be there in about a week." Kikiyo replied snidely.

"No hard feelings Naruto?" Kakashi asked playfully.

Naruto stared daggers at Kakashi as Hinata spoke up. "There are no hard feelings Kakashi-sensei." Hinata said in a sweet voice. "He would just like for you to take a couple of fatal blows to the chest and tell him how you feel. He is not fully healed from your last attack and he remembers your previous use of that attack, and you using the Sharingan to seal up the memory. You are an evil man, but we wish that you only get what you deserve, so no, no hard feelings." Hinata smiled as she spoke with the sweetest kindest voice she could.

Kakashi winced in the apparent dichotomy of how he was sure Naruto felt and Hinata spoke. "Thank you Naruto and Hinata. I look forward to seeing you both again. Come on team we have to get back and I have a report to write." Kakashi turned and walked away with his team towards Konoha.

The guards at the Konoha gates were bored as no one had come thru the gates in hours. Suddenly both guards looked at each other and then down the road. They saw four figures walking haggardly towards the gate. They recognized the group when they got to the gate. "Team seven reporting back from a successful mission we are going to the Hokage's office to make our report." Kakashi stated as the team walked past the gate and into the village.

The team was ushered into the Hokage's office fairly quickly. "Thank you Hokage for seeing us so quickly. I would like to report that Team seven has successfully completed the protection of the bridge builder mission. Here is the mission scroll I also have to informing you that the mission was upgraded to an 'A' ranked mission." Kakashi reported as he set a scroll on Sarutobi''s desk. Sarutobi raised an eyebrow at Kakashi's statement. "We ran into several missing nin including Zabuza Momichi. We were able to take down both Zabuza and the business tycoon Gato in the process of fulfilling the mission. Tazuna has assured us that they will pay the difference when his village is back on its feet."

Sarutobi removed his pipe and sighed. "Is there anything else you would like to report about the mission?" Sarutobi asked with a smile.

"Nothing other than a lot of personal experience and growth for all the members of my team." Kakashi said as he looked at the girls on his team who seemed to shrink under his stare.

"I see, well then good job team seven and I will give you a week off to rest and recuperate." Sarutobi dismissed the team.

Sasuke had told the girls that he wanted to be alone, and to his surprise the girls didn't argue and even told the local fan girls to leave him alone. As Sasuke neared the Uchiha compound Sasuke felt a presence in a nearby tree. "You don't hide your presence well get out here if you want to talk to me." Sasuke demanded.

An ANBU appeared in front of Sasuke and kneeled. "Forgive the intrusion Uchiha-sama but there is someone who would like to speak with you." The ANBU stated.

"I am assuming you are not talking about the Hokage." Sasuke asked as the ANBU nodded. "Very well lead the way." Sasuke follow the ANBU deeper into town.

"Where are we going and what is that large city sensei?" Keiko inquired from their teacher and leader.

"That is the capital of the Fire country and we are going to meet the Daimyou. We need to nip something in the bud." Kikiyo stated with a gleam in her eyes.

"Thank you Danzou-sama. You now have all the information I know, I hope you can put it to good use." Sasuke stated as he bowed.

"You have done your village a very deep and honored service by telling me these things. Rest assured if anything comes to light that puts you in a bad situation we will make sure that it is mitigated. Have a good day Sasuke-san" Danzou assured Sasuke with a smile.

Sasuke bowed and left as he thought about what was discussed. Sasuke had told Danzou everything that had happened on the mission including things Kakashi had told him that were a secret, that had seemed to get a smile to walk across Danzou's face making Sasuke happy. Now he was dreading having to go home as he had to deal with his mother and a couple female cousins. At least they were not as bad as the girls on his team and the fan girls.

Sasuke entered the Uchiha compound to see a couple of genin teams working on fixing the damage done on the night of the massacre. He was able to recognize two Hyuuga which brought a scowl to his face. He also recognized an Inuzuka and an Aburame, but he did not recognize the green clad shinobi or the girl with buns in her hair and wearing a tan shirt and brown pants. Both the Hyuuga looked at each other after the scowl then returned to filling the holes in the walls with patch cement.

Sasuke opened the door to his house to find the familiar scent of his mother's cooking. He took off his sandals and headed towards his room after closing the front door. "Mom I am home!" Sasuke yelled deeper into the house.

"Okay Sasuke-kun, clean up and then come down to dinner. We have a few things to discuss." His mother replied.

Sasuke went to his room, stripped, put on a bath robe, grabbed some clean clothes and then proceeded to the bath. He opened the door and was confronted by a nude woman standing right at the door. She appeared to be around nineteen at the oldest. She smirked as Sasuke's jaw hit the floor. She lifted his jaw and kissed him on the cheek. "Sasuke-kun you are a little young for me but my sister might be good for you. Also Danzou-sama wishes to express his thanks for the information you gave him." The woman whispered as she strutted by Sasuke with her towel draped over her shoulder. Sasuke could only watch as the nude woman swayed her hips as if taunting him until she entered one of the guest rooms.

Sasuke felt a trickle of liquid flowing from his nose. "Who was that woman? If I can't have Hinata maybe her sister will help me out with the fan girls and might be more my age." Sasuke quietly spoke to no one in particular. Sasuke entered the bathroom and cleaned up. He could not get the look of the woman who had told him about Danzou being pleased with him and he also could not forget her nude figure as she had both stood in front of him watching him scan her up and down and when she walked away from him.

Sasuke figured since they had guests he would wear a formal kimono. He headed down the stairs to the waiting room. Sitting there were three women, well two and a girl. His mother, the woman from the bath earlier and a girl about his age were sitting talking. The girl looked like a younger version of the older woman. This intrigued Sasuke, maybe the woman was right he might like her sister. That is if she was her sister.

Sasuke enter the room. "Hello mother, I saw that we had guests when I went to clean up." Sasuke smirked at the woman whom he had met earlier. She blushed and smirked back. "I did not get her name and I do apologize for my rudeness." Sasuke said as he bowed. "I am Sasuke Uchiha ladies, I am pleased to welcome you into our house."

Mikoto raised an eyebrow when she saw the shared smirk between her older guest and her son. "Sasuke-kun these are Akane-chan and Kohaku-chan. Both are Uchiha from one of the strong member branches." Mikoto stated as she pointed at the older first and then the younger female.

"It is a please to meet you Sasuke-dono." Kohaku said as she stood and bowed. "May your Sharingan come early."

"Thank you Kohaku-chan, may yours also come early." Sasuke returned the pleasantry. Sasuke activated his Sharingan. "Mother my Sharingan activated during my latest mission."

"That is great Sasuke-kun. I also have some news for you. You will no longer have to deal with the fan girls anymore." Mikoto stated with a smile.

"What do you mean mother?" Sasuke asked perplexed.

"Kohaku-chan has graciously requested that she be betrothed to you. I know she is not one of your fan girls. Are you ok with this?" Mikoto asked sternly.

"Yes as long as she accepts me as master of the clan. And she is strong." Sasuke stated.

"Of course Sasuke-dono. I am already a chunin and only a year your senior." Kohaku replied with a bow.

"Sasuke, you are being rude. She is asking to be your future wife. She is not a trophy to be put on the shelf. She will be living with you the rest of your lives and sharing your intimate moments. She will also be baring your children. She will not be bossed around by you. Do I make myself clear?" Mikoto stated as she released a large amount of killing intent.

Sasuke was surprised by his mother being so forceful. All he had seen of her was the kindly subservient woman to his father. "I… yes mother." Sasuke lowered his head in defeat.

"Kohaku-chan is not a push over Sasuke-kun. She is just being respectful to the son of the head of our clan. She finds you enjoyable to the eyes but wants you to lose the attitude. She of course would not say this in front of a possible mother-in-law to be. I as her older sister will defend her honor in front of Mikoto-sama just the same." Akane sternly stated as Kohaku blushed and nodded.

"You see Mikoto-sama, while I do find Sasuke-kun physically attractive, I am more worried about him being a good husband and clan head. If he cannot prove to be either I will not go through with even the process of the betrothal. I am sorry if I am insulting you Mikoto-sama but I am aware of Sasuke-kun's attitude towards females. I believe part of it stems from the fan girls that chase him all over Konoha but part is a stronger than normal arrogance than most Uchiha have. We all want strong mates but if he does not drop his obsession with his brother than I will have to back out of this potential arrangement." Kohaku stated with a deep bow, she raised her head with a complete and fully activated Sharingan and looked directly at Sasuke.

Mikoto and Akane both smirked as Sasuke felt alone for the first time in his life.

Naruto, Hinata, Keiko, Haku and Kikiyo waited patiently outside the office of the Fire Daimyou. The secretary looked up and told them they would be seen now.

All five entered the office and bowed respectfully. "Welcome Whirlpool shinobi. What do I have the pleasure of meeting you this …" The Daimyou looked outside and saw rain. "Sorry it is a dreary day. But how can I help you?" The man asked kindly.

Kikiyo bowed and started to speak. "I am Kikiyo Fenikkusu of Whirlpool, formerly Kikiyo Uchiha of Konoha." Kikiyo stated, this caused the Daimyou to look at her questioningly. "I will explain but first I must introduce my team. Haku master of Ice, Naruto Uzumaki grandson of the leader of Uzu no Sato, Hinata Hyuuga heir to the Konoha Hyuuga, and finally Keiko Senju formerly Keiko Uchiha all formerly of Konoha."

The Daimyou was flabbergasted. "How do I have a full genin team from Whirlpool that are all former Konoha citizens?"

Kikiyo spent the next hour telling the Daimyou about everything that happened beginning with the sealing of the Kyuubi through mission to Wave country. This included everything including Naruto and Keiko's paternity.

To say the Daimyou was perturbed would be an understatement. He was beyond pissed. In his opinion the Konoha and Hyuuga clan councils had over stepped their authority. The Daimyou altered their travel papers to show they were dual citizens of Whirlpool and Fire countries. He also signed off on the betrothal of Naruto and Hinata and voided the one with Sasuke. He was depressed that Haku had decided to join Uzu instead of Konoha but understood after the treatment he had received from Kakashi Hatake. He also assured them that he would be attending the next chunin exams and would like for Kikiyo's team to attend. He would also be cleaning house in Konoha with the help of Sarutobi. He thanked the team for averting war on several occasions and apologized for the behavior of the Konoha shinobi. He handed Kikiyo a scroll that she was to deliver to the Third Hokage. This would be a 'B' ranked mission for the Fire Daimyou.

Sasuke invited Kohaku to his room at the insistence of his mother. Sasuke closed the door ready to tell Kohaku what will and will not be tolerated. "Sasuke-kun." Kohaku drags out the kun in an ordering manner. "Let's get something straight. If and I say if, you will be able to deal with clan matter with me only giving advice. But in the home I will be in charge. Do I make myself clear?" Kohaku demanded more than asked.

Sasuke nodded. "How did my mother find you?"

"We are one of the stronger branch families in the Uchiha and we saw that you were having problems with the girls in town." Kohaku stated. "I am also aware you have seen my sister naked. From your reaction to her I can tell you are not a homosexual. Be assured I will have either a similar or better body than her when we are older. Now about your training, you are under Kakashi Hatake, correct?" Kohaku asked.

Sasuke was not sure what to think, this girl was demanding and arrogant all in one. If she turned out to be strong and could help him grow in strength he would not have a problem with waiting on his revenge and settle down with this girl. "Yes he is my jonin sensei, why?"

"He is a lazy bum, he does have a lot of techniques but he will not be as good as having an Uchiha teaching you. So how do you feel about Itachi?" Kohaku asked as she activated her Sharingan.

Sasuke felt anger then an odd sense of contentment seeing Kohaku's eyes. "I hate him for what he did, but if this works out I can forgo my revenge for later." Sasuke said with a smile.

"Activate your Sharingan." Kohaku asked sweetly.

Sasuke felt he had to comply and activated his Sharingan.

"You will do as a mate and husband. We shall seal this with a kiss. You can use passion if you like but this is how we will sign our betrothal. Is that acceptable?" Kohaku said looking for Sasuke's reaction. Sasuke nodded and they kissed. "We are now betrothed I wish to meet my husband-to-be's team so that I can rate their competence." Sasuke just nodded as they left the room.

The next week went by fast as Sasuke not have any team meetings and spent most of his free time talking to Kohaku. She at times seemed cold and distant but at other times warm and caring, hanging on his every word. She even took several occasions to chase off some fan girls.

Sakura and Ino were decidedly absent from Sasuke's life for some reason he could not figure. He did not mind this he actually was happy to be able to get to know Kohaku without having to deal with someone waiting on him with bated breath. Apparently Kohaku did enjoy Sasuke but was not afraid to scold him for acting inappropriately.

Naruto and Hinata were wearing cloaks as the team approached the gates of Konoha. They all sensed being watched. Naruto had switched from over the shoulder sheaths to wearing them on his hips. "We have two ANBU to the right and two Hyuuga to the left, possibly chunin." Hinata reported to her team.

The ANBU and Hyuuga blocked the road just a few hundred feet from Konoha. "Halt and state your business." The owl masked ANBU ordered.

"Kikiyo Fenikkusu and team from Whirlpool delivering a scroll from the Fire Daimyou to the Hokage." Kikiyo replied.

"We will take the scroll." The owl stated.

"Sorry not going to happen. We have orders that no one except for the Third is to read this scroll. So please let us through. I also invoke the alliance for free passage. As we are Uzu shinobi." Kikiyo stated as her anger mounted. Haku was also wearing an Uzu headband.

"Get them they are the two the council has a bounty on!" One of the Hyuuga yells as he threw a kunai at Naruto. Naruto pulls out his sword and blocks the kunai.

Kikiyo looks directly at the ANBU. "What is the meaning of this? Why are you attacking my students?" Kikiyo demands angrily.

The ANBU looks at the two Hyuuga as they charge the Uzu team. "What the hell are you doing?" The owl ANBU yelled only to be ignored.

Hinata set herself into her juken stance. "Defense has been established. Will you stand down?" Hinata quietly demanded.

"You are a traitor and we will give you no quarter." The other Hyuuga said as he continued his charge.

Naruto watched the first Hyuuga go for a lethal heart strike at him. Naruto sidestepped the attack and slid his sword through the man's ribs. The man collapsed as Naruto returned to a defensive stance. The man began to cough up blood. "Yield or I will finish it." Naruto said sadly.

Hinata leaned back to avoid a heart strike by the other Hyuuga. She tapped the man's arm on the elbow and shoulder as he pulled back and screamed in pain. "I warn you if you do not yield you will feel more pain worse than that." Hinata threatened anger heard from her voice.

"Cease now or be killed!" The owl ANBU ordered. Both Hyuuga nodded as they knew they were beat and would not be able to do anything other than die in a battle against these two. "Kikiyo-san please have your students reveal themselves."

Kikiyo nodded as Naruto flung back his hood and then wiped his sword clean. Hinata also pulled her hood back to reveal her face.

"You are Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga are you not?" The owl ANBU asked as both nodded. "Why do you wear the headband of Uzu instead of Konoha?"

Naruto pointed his sword towards the downed Hyuuga. "Because of idiots like this." Naruto responded with a tired voice.

"I understand, we will guide you to the Hokage's office." The owl ANBU led them to the gates. There two chunin were standing at the ready to fight if needed. "Go get medical support for those two, one I am sure had a sliced lung the other will have juken injuries to his right side." The owl ordered as one of the chunin jumped off. "I am sorry for the poor welcome for our allies. We will assure your safety inside of town. You may replace your hoods if you like."

Naruto and Hinata nodded thanks to the ANBU as they replaced their hoods.

They made it to the Hokage's tower without any more incidents.

"Lord Hokage, we have visitors from Whirlpool." Owl yelled through the door.

"By all means send them in." Sarutobi answered from his desk.

The six entered the office as the other ANBU took up a position outside the door. "Hokage-sama I have disturbing news." Owl reported as Sarutobi nodded for him to continue. "The reason for the escort is because our guests were set upon by two of the chunin guards outside the gates. Only those two were injured. I must say that Uzumaki-san and Hyuuga-sama acquitted themselves well in the engagement. We only intervened to prevent the chunin from wasting their lives. The Uzu shinobi offered quarter and it was taken." Owl said with a bow.

"If it is alright with you Hinata shall I send for you father?" Sarutobi asked caringly.

"That sounds fine, I would enjoy seeing and speaking with my father after so long away. Maybe we can break the genjutsu." Hinata said sadly as Naruto grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Kikiyo handed Sarutobi the scroll from the Fire Daimyou. "We wish to file complaints against Konoha shinobi and deliver this scroll from the Fire Daimyou." Kikiyo said with a bow.

Sarutobi read the scroll his eyes widened the more he read. "Owl go get Hiashi Hyuuga, but give me at least a half hour before he is to arrive here." Sarutobi ordered.

"Hai!" Owl responded and then disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

"We wish to file against Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha. You already know about the other two Naruto and Hinata injured we wish to file charges against them too." Kikiyo stated as Sarutobi read the scroll.

"I will look into the other two, but is what is in this scroll true? Sasuke and Kakashi did this to Naruto and Hinata?" Sarutobi asked as he handed Kikiyo the scroll.

Kikiyo read the scroll and finally nodded. "He left out some details but yes it is true."

"I want all of you to recount the mission to the Wave country. In as exact a detail as you can." Sarutobi requested as the team sat down in the chairs on the side of the room.

For the next half hour the team recounts the details of the mission. Sarutobi waits until they finish before speaking. "I am deeply disturbed by what you have told me. You all have my deepest sympathies. Sasuke Uchiha will of course be given the most leeway so far as his actions but Kakashi will be punished for his actions, now and when you were in the village Naruto-kun. The down side is that we will have to reveal your identity to the council to have any disciplinary actions at all. Is this okay with the both of you?" Sarutobi asked knowing that this would effectively bring their identities out into the open.

Naruto smiled at Sarutobi and it warmed his heart. "That sounds fine jiji. Maybe we can actually get some justice here in Konoha. If not we know we can always return to Uzu. I just hate lose the history of the village my father gave his life to defend." Naruto stated sadly.

There was a knock at the door, Naruto and Hinata both put their cowls back over their heads. "Come in…" Sarutobi bellowed.

Hiashi entered the door. "You sent for me Hokage-sama? I was on my way to look at a couple of branch member who were injured doing guard duty outside of the gates."

"They would not be injured if they would listen to the head of the clan and not the clan council. They also would not be injured if they did not attack allies bearing letters from the Fire Daimyou." Hinata stated from behind her cowl.

"They attacked you." Hiashi looked Kikiyo and her team. "You appear to be a genin team from Uzu. I am deeply sorry if they attacked you. But what do you mean by saying things about the clan council." Hiashi asked confused.

"Because they want me and my betrothed dead, they fear something but will not let the head of the clan in on their worry." Naruto commented.

"I do not understand. Do I know you? You seem to know some things but have not reveal yourselves. Please if you know of a problem with my clan council that is causing problems for an ally like Uzu, I would love to know this as they are causing me problems within of my clan." Hiashi nearly pleaded.

Naruto and Hinata slowly removed their cowls and looked at Hiashi. They both saw the conflict in his face. He was happy to see them and he did recognize them. They also saw the anger generated by the genjutsu towards Naruto and Hinata for being a failure. Hiashi raised a hand as if to strike then fell to his knees grabbing his head and then screamed in pain.

"Kikiyo do you think you can do anything?" Sarutobi asked anxiously.

"Fugaku was stronger than me but it may have had enough time for me to become stronger and the seal to weaken." Kikiyo activated her Sharingan and then looked directly into Hiashi's eyes. Five minutes later both were on the floor panting with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, whoever you are. I have been tormented for years by this nightmare." Hiashi said happily.

"Father are you finally okay?" Hinata asked as she and Naruto help Hiashi into a chair.

"I will be." Hiashi said as he cupped Hinata's face in his hands. "You have grown beautiful like your mother. I am so sorry for the way I treated you all those years ago." Hiashi look appreciatively at Naruto. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter for me. She is your wife to be, did you know that?" Hiashi asked as Naruto nodded with a smile.

"I know and I love her very much. Kido said to tell you 'hi' when you are better. You look better." Naruto said as he smiled. "So what is the status of the second betrothal?"

"Null and void, I hear that Mikoto has other plans for Sasuke anyways, since I didn't allow a marriage with my other daughter. I am thinking she wants him to marry inside his own clan to help bolster their numbers in several years." Hiashi replied as he started to look at Kikiyo. "You are an Uchiha are you not?"

"Not any more, the clan betrayed me and Keiko here so we are in new clans?" Kikiyo replied with a smile.

"New clans? What do you mean?" Hiashi asked.

"Well as you know Fugaku is a corrupt man, or at least he was." Kikiyo asked as Hiashi nodded. "Well… he and the Uchiha took Minato's sister and put her within the Uchiha ranks, they also forbid her children from becoming shinobi. Let me introduce Keiko Senju, as her father did not have a family name they remained Uchiha, instead of Namikaze as they should have been. So as not to cause a problem with the name Namikaze here in Konoha they chose the last name of Keiko's great-great-grandfather." Kikiyo explained.

For the next few hours they told Hiashi their tales.

A female ANBU wearing a wolf mask appeared next to Kakashi. "Kakashi-sempai Mikoto Uchiha 'requests' your presence at her home in the Uchiha compound. And do not take any more time than is necessary to arrive there, she prefers punctuality." Wolf said sternly as she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Don't want to keep the head of the Uchiha clan waiting." Kakashi said to no one in particular as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Kakashi appeared in front of the Uchiha compound gates greeted by two female chunin guards who both just smiled and nodded for him to enter. Kakashi walked down the streets noticing the work that had been done to fix up the streets. It had taken years for the Uchiha to get over the massacre and now they wanted to restore their section of the village and their clan. 'Not bad for a group of woman with only about five males in the whole clan, all under the age of thirteen.' Kakashi thought as he walked up to the door of the clan head and knocked. The door opened to reveal Sasuke and a girl that appeared to be around Sasuke's age maybe a year older. "Hi Sasuke, how are you?" Kakashi asked.

"Fine thanks, we have to get going. Oh, Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke asked.

This threw up red flags for Kakashi as Sasuke was being too nice. Sasuke and the girl were also wearing formal kimonos. "Yes Sasuke." Kakashi answered.

"Can I bring Kohaku-chan to our next team meeting and training session?" Sasuke asked as he nodded to the female next to him.

Kakashi smiled behind his mask. "Sure that would be fine. Kohaku-chan was it? You are chunin from last year's graduating class am I right?" Kakashi asked as he continued to smile.

Kohaku bowed deeply. "I am honored to have been noticed by the great copy-cat shinobi of Konoha. You are correct that I am chunin, I apologize if I am imposing upon your team at all. I am just looking out for Sasuke-kun's interests. We need to be going now Sasuke-kun. It was a pleasure meeting you Hatake-sama." Kohaku bowed again as she and Sasuke left the house.

A voice came from further inside. "You may enter Kakashi-san. Please close the door behind you."

Kakashi entered and removed his sandals. He walked down the hallway to the greeting room where he found Mikoto and the Wolf ANBU standing waiting for him to enter. "Welcome Kakashi, please come in and sit we have a few things to discuss." Mikoto said as she offered Kakashi a seat.

Kakashi bowed and entered the room. He then stood before the sofa and waited for the women to sit. The Wolf ANBU took off her mask to reveal Akane who sat on the opposite sofa from Kakashi. Mikoto sat next on the plush chair to Kakashi's right. Kakashi sat on the sofa waiting for the hammer to fall. Nothing was said for a couple minutes. Finally Mikoto spoke up.

"I am guessing you are wondering why I brought you here and why Akane-chan is here." Mikoto asked appearing to know his question.

"Well frankly yes I would like to know why I am here." Kakashi replied happily.

"Well Kakashi, it has come to my attention that you and my son are causing international incidents. I have devised a way to help get out of this mess with as little pain as possible. You may also even get some pleasure out this arrangement." Mikoto smirked as did Akane. Kakashi internally shuddered at what the women might have planned.

"What international incident?" Kakashi asked playing innocent.

"I have heard you attacked and nearly killed the grandson of the leader of our ally Whirlpool, yet again." Mikoto said flatly. "I also know you threatened a Whirlpool team with death. I can offer you some protection from the death sentence that it would entail but you will have to take my offer." Mikoto said with a sinister grin on her face.

"What type of deal are we talking about?" Kakashi asked.

Mikoto nodded to Akane. "You are to marry me." Akane stated bluntly.

"Is that all? And how old are you anyways?" Kakashi asked.

"There is a little more to it than that but essentially that is it. I will be twenty by the end of this month. I know you're twenty-seven and that you should be settling down soon to have a family soon if you are ever to have one. I know about your pension for these books." Akane held a copy of Icha Icha paradise in her hand. "I do not care if you read them, just so long as you give me children when I ask you too. There will be no affairs and we can start a Hatake clan if you like. I will even cosplay the book with you if you like. Outside of missions you will either be or act the roll of a proper husband. Do you have any problems with this Kakashi?" Akane asked without emotion on her face.

"How long do I have to think about it?" Kakashi asked not sure how he would hand this.

"A few days, the next council meeting will be in three days and the subject of you and Sasuke-kun I am sure will come up. You have until then to decide and either marry Akane-chan or take your chances with the council. Oh and if you accept the offer, DO… and I repeat DO NOT BE LATE for the wedding. You will hurt poor Akane's heart and we don't want that to happen do we?" Mikoto asked threateningly.

"If that is all I have a few things to think about and it was a pleasure to meet you Akane Uchiha. You can tell Sasuke-kun that there will be a meeting tomorrow. You are invited if you would like to join us and your duties do not interfere with being there at say eight am. I would advise you Akane-chan that you show up at ten am or so." Kakashi commented as he got up to leave.

"One other thing Kakashi-kun." Akane said flirtingly and catching his attention.

"Yes Akane-chan?" Kakashi looked at her questioningly.

"I also require two additional things for this arrangement to proceed. First I want to see under your mask, secondly our deal with be sealed with a kiss, on the lips not through a mask." Akane stated.

"I will give you my answer at the end of tomorrows training session with my team." Kakashi answered as he bowed to both women and left.

Making sure Kakashi had left Mikoto finally spoke. "So he is acceptable to you Akane-chan?" Mikoto asked

"Depending on what is under the mask, yes, even then we would produce strong children that would be able to help restore the Uchiha clan. I might even come to enjoy being a wife to him. And if he has learned anything from his books it will make me all the happier." Akane smirked. "Also your son is a healthy boy of nearly thirteen."

"What are you talking about?" Mikoto asked.

"Earlier before dinner he and I met as I left the bath." Akane smirked at remembering.

"Okay what happened?" Mikoto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I wasn't wearing my towel. He did the full look and got a bloody nose from his viewing pleasure. I told Kohaku and she said she used it to her advantage. She told Sasuke that she would have a body similar to mine when she grew up. This changed his attitude some." Akane smirked.

"You girls are just so silly. So does she love Sasuke-kun?" Mikoto asked.

"She says he will do as a mate. He needs a lot of help when dealing with subject of Itachi but she thinks she can eventually bring him around, maybe with the help of his teammates. No she is not in love with him. She thinks she will eventually find comfort in his arms or she will force is out of him." Akane answered with a smirk.

A/N: As you can tell I am giving Sasuke and Kakashi strong women to mitigate their flaws. We shall see if this helps at all. I figure a female to torture them would be better than castration for both of them. I have not ruled out partial castration for Sasuke, but this will be more fun. I know the poor fan club will be disbanded. What will happen to Sakura and Ino? What was in the document that the Fire Daimyou sent to Sarutobi? These questions and more will be raised in the next chapter… Ha you though I was going to answer them didn't you?

Oh Spiritwolf31, yes Zabuza is dead. Haku has been informally integrated into Kikiyo's team until they make it back to Uzu.

Omake: (Lime present)

Kakashi was thinking hard and didn't see the kunai that was headed towards him. It hit him in the shoulder digging deeply into the joint. Anko stepped up and pulled the kunai from his shoulder and licked the blood on the kunai. "What has you all spooked Kakashi?"

Kakashi looked up at Anko his eyes opened wide as he saw up Anko's skirt. She wore nothing under it. Kakashi's nose began to bleed. Kakashi passed out from blood loss.

Kakashi woke up a little later not sure what was going on. The last thing he saw was under Anko's skirt. He smiled then reached over and touched his right shoulder, it was bandaged but he also noticed he was not wearing any clothes. And to his surprise neither was Anko who was sitting on top of him. "Okay Kakashi one little fling and we talk about your issue." Anko said as she grinded again Kakashi.

Kakashi complied and they had sex for the next half hour.

"Okay Kakashi spill it…" Anko ordered.

"Looks like I am going to have to tie the knot." Kakashi stated bluntly.

"Why I don't want to get married. I like our 'make out sessions.'" Anko said with a smirk.

"Not to you, but to an Uchiha." Kakashi stated.

"Why an Uchiha?" Anko wondered out loud.

"Well… my past has come back to haunt me and the Uchiha are offering some protection if I marry one of them. She isn't bad looking either. I am thinking I will have to take the offer." Kakashi said thoughtfully.

"Hey that is great, you can get out of this masochism that we are in and I can go after Iruka." Anko said with a smirk. "I say go for it. You can have kids and they can make your life hell."

"Great now you are against me." Kakashi playfully replied.

"She might do you some good. I am also getting tired of this Kakashi, you are not as much fun as you used to be." Anko said with a sigh. "I say take the Uchiha up on the offer."
