I don't own Naruto or Rouroni Kenshin.
After leaving the Hokage's tower Naruto dropped Kushina's hand and broke into a sprint as he made his way towards his favorate ramen stand. Kushina raced to keep up.
"HEY Naruto baka wait up!" Kushina yelled as she pumped her legs as fast as she could to catch up.
"Good ramen waits for no one Kushina san!" Naruto shouted back as he turned a corner. As Kushina rounded the corner she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. Down the street not a hundred feet away was Naruto, on the ground being pounded by a pair of slightly older boys.
Kushina sighed in releaf when a older man started yelling at the boys, but she lost that feeling when she saw the old man deliver a rib cracking kick that sent Naruto flying into a nearby wall. Though she hadn't known Naruto very long Kushina would be damned in she let her little brother get beat like that. Reaching into her pack Kushina started a headlong charge towards the unsuspecting assailants.
=================================================================
The Third Hokage sat in the chair behind his desk as he looked over the paperwork for the contract that he had worked out with Koga Uzumaki and Kenshin Himura. It had taken some arguing and some explaining to get everything into an agreeible setup for everyone invalved but in the end they had managed to find an acceptable comprimize.
It was a little disconserting to find out that Kenshin had almost been a ninja of the leaf. If the Third Shinobi War hadn't broken out in his first year of the academy then Himura's parents would have left him there to supplament his samurai training with some of the shinobi arts, but the war caused the Fire Lord to forbid the samurai clan from risking their futures in a 'commoners fight'.
But what really scared the old Sarutobi was how much the samurai had retained when he had left the school. Oh yes he hadn't learned any of the academy jutsus like clones or transformation but he had learn however to control chakra and to mold it to a certain extaint. This combined with some more advanced techniques like Tree Climbing and Water Walking had allowed him to increase his speed to the point that it would take a high level chunnin to catch him, then he want and learned a style of sword play that took that speed and boosted it even farther and you had yourself a scary costumer indeed.
"To review. Himura, Kenshin has agreed to train and watchover Kushina and Naruto Uzumaki for the next four years. In this time he will be paid for at A ranked level and will make himself availible to do missions for the village which he will be paid for as though he were a ninja of the leaf. At the end of the four years he will be released from service with no strings attached and is allowed to freely enter and exit the village at his leasure. When the four years is up Naruto and Kushina will enter the Leaf Village Ninja Academy and be allowed to train as ninja of the Leaf Village until they graduate and are assigned to a squad. That no time will they be sepurated and if they so choose will be released from the service of the Leaf Village without reprocussions. The Uzumaki clan holds the right to withdraw Naruto and Kushina from the Village if it is agreed that they safety is in immediate parol at any time after the four years of training under Himura, Kenshin. If that any time the goverment of the Leaf Village is found to be threatening the lives of the pair then while under the protection of Himura, Kenshin then it is to be considard and act of war by the Leaf Village on the whole of Fire Nation and the clan of Uzumaki. If ether of the above should take the position of Hokage or feel that the Leaf Village is trustworthy after they have achived the rank of Jonin then the clan of Uzumaki will emegrate to and become a high ranked part of the ninja and civilian portions of the Leaf Village. The clan of Uzumaki is allowed to send mission for Kushina and Naruto to complete outside the normal duties of a Leaf ninja and may send private insturctors for the pair after they graduate the Leaf Village Ninja Academy." Sarutobi took a deep breath after the long speech and looked at the other two men in the accrossed his desk.
"Is there anything else ether of you would like to add?" when he saw that nether of the others had anything he pulled out a brush and they all signed in the appropate places before each pulled out a large stamp and made it offical by stamping it with the offical stamps of the Hokage, Uzumaki clan head and as a reprosentive of the Fire Lord. When all was complete Kenshin stood and gave a small strech before he headed for the door.
"Well I'd better go find my new charges and inform them of whats to come" he said as he left.
"And I most inform the Village council of all this" the Hokage said as he stood. Koga just nodded as he stood and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
=================================================================
The old man was just winding up to give Naruto another kick when a sharp pain ran through his knee, causing it to fold under his weight.
A loud Clang! reverberated through the air followed by the mans painful shout as he hit the ground. The two kids that had been hitting Naruto stopped to see what had happened. There beside the old man was a red hair girl holding a three foot long aluminum bat and glaring at them angrily.
"You big meanies. Whats he ever done to you" Kushina shout as she lost all of her limited maturity in her anger. The two boys took a threatening step towards the younger girl that dared to enterup them.
Clang! CLANG! The boys stumbled away from the girl holding their noses which were poring blood after Kushina walloped them with her bat. They started to cry and went running to their mothers, balling about the scary girl all the way. A crowd started to sarround Naruto and Kushina and shout that the girl. They couldn't understand way she had protected the monstrosity from a rightful beating.
The man Kushina had hit first got to his feet cursing and charged at her. Before Kushina could reach to the charge Naruto pushed her away, taking a slap to the face as he did so.
At this Kushina saw red and promply planted the bat into the back of the man's head. There was a sickening crack and the man hit the ground like a stringless pappet. Kushina walked past the man and helped Naruto to his feet before she turn to glare at the crowd with red, slitted eyes.
"The next person to even touch my brother in any way dies" she said in a cold voice. The crowd only seemed to catch the 'my brother' part and started to get very angry. To them there were now two monsters in their village. But before they could attack a massive wave of bloodlust filled the street. The crowd turned to see a red haired man walking towards them followed by a group of Ambu to know that they were in big trouble.
"Scatter now" was all Kenshin had to say to get the crowd running like rabbits, He then turned to see Kushina fusing over a bleeding Naruto and a man on the ground with a caved skull to know that this was going to be a long four years.
