This is a challenge from Storylover213. I don't own any of it. Focus will be back on Naruto instead of team 7.
Chapter 15: Return to Konoha and…You're my what?
Deep in the bowels of Amegakure…
A man with long red hair sat in the middle of a large pod. This was the leader of the Aktasuki Nagato aka Pain. Now most would be surprised to see this because when the leader of the Akatsuki spoke to them it was usually a man with orange hair. There was the sound of knocking and a woman entered the room.
She was tall and beautiful with blue hair, orange eyes, and an origami rose put in her hair.
"Pain-sama," the woman said, "I have returned."
The red haired man reached out and took some papers the woman had with her.
"Is this true?" the man said as he looked at the papers, "Is it really true, Konan?"
The now identified Konan said, "Yes…Pain-sama…I'll leave you to your thoughts."
With that the woman left to leave Pain to his thoughts. As the door closed it automatically locked. Pain hung his head from his spot. As he did teas started to run down his face. Crying was something he hadn't done in years. Something he swore he would never do again. The tears would not stop, however, as darkened memories rose to the surface.
Flashback many years ago in the now destroyed country of Uzugakure…
A much younger Nagato ran around after a little girl who was about a year or so younger than him. The girl giggled as she jumped around followed by her big brother.
"I'm gonna get you!" Nagato yelled.
"Oh, no you're not!" the girl yelled back.
Nagato jumped after the girl and she squealed as her brother tackled her and they wrestled on the ground. She was then put in headlock and given a noogie.
"Nagato! Kushina! Lunch!" came the voice of their mother.
As they ran in Kushina asked, "Are we having ramen?"
Their mother said, "Kushina…what have told you about ramen?"
Kushina sighed and said, "It may be good but it's unhealthy to eat every day."
The woman smiled and said, "Good girl…now go join your brother."
The three sat down for lunch. As they did Nagato asked, "Do you think dad will be home in time for the festival?"
Their mother said, "I don't know honey. Your father is really busy with the war and all."
Nagato sighed, "Well when I pass the genin exam in a few months I'll be able to join dad on the battlefield."
Kushina giggled and said, "I'll join you too big brother when I pass. Then we'll become the most powerful ninja siblings in the village!"
The brother and sister fist bumped while their mother smiled at their antics.
Later that night…
Nagato was brought out of his sleep when by the sound of something crashing and the smell of smoke. The red head looked out his window to see houses on fire and ninja running through the streets. A lot of them had symbols he didn't recognize.
He then heard somebody scream. The boy ran downstairs just in time to get tackled by a blur. He looked down to see Kushina with her arms wrapped tightly around him crying hysterically. Nagato was about to ask why when he looked over to see their mother. She was beaten, bleeding, and her neck was twisted at an odd angle. Her shirt and pants were ripped open and he dared not think as to why.
"What do we do?" Kushian asked, "Big brother…I'm scared."
Nagato comforted his little sister and said, "It going to be okay Kushina. We need to get out of here."
At that moment the crack of wood was heard and a beam fell through the roof. Nagato pushed Kushina away and the beam crashed down separating them.
"Big brother!" the young girl yelled.
"I'm okay," Nagato yelled, "Go to our old secret hideout. We'll meet up there as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Kushina yelled to be heard over the flames.
With that the duo left to in different directions.
About an hour later…
Something was wrong. Kushina should have been at their hideout a while ago. Their secret hideout was an old cave that they had found a few months ago and was near the edge of the village. Thanks to their constant hide and seek they knew all of the nooks and crannies of the village. He knew that she should have been brought in here as soon as or close to the time he did.
The boy saw a group of the foreign ninja coming and, even though it made his heart ache he ran into the cave to find a way out of the village before he was killed.
About fifteen minutes later Nagato got out of the caves around the edge of the village. He looked around and gasped at what he saw. His village, his only home, was completely gone. The entire village was now completely destroyed. Fires were sending smoke up into the air. The buildings were taken down and he could see the bodies of the villagers both local and foreign.
Nagato took a risk before he cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, "Kushina!"
There was no response.
He yelled even louder, "KUSHINA!"
Tears started to well up in his eyes as he fell to the ground sobbing.
"Crying isn't going to bring them back, boy," said a voice.
Nagato turned around to see a man standing behind him. he was wearing a headband that had a symbol that resembled rain.
"Com ewith me child," the man said, "There is nothing here for you no."
The man started to leave. Nagato sighed. He wanted to turn around and run back to the village. He wanted to go back and try and find his little sister. He wanted to find her and go somewhere, but he doubted she had survived. He didn't have anywhere else to go. So he followed the strange man.
End flashback…
The man brought Nagato to Amegakure. It was there he met his adoptive family and his two best friends Yahiko and Konan. When his adopted parents were killed by attacking Konoha nin that is what set the man off. He became reclusive, cold, and he forgot about Kushian for a while. He eventually rose in power after meeting and being trained by Jiraiya after he gained the title of Sannin. He rose in power until he was able to beat the tyrannical ruler of Ame, Hanzo. He then started the Akatsuki with the idea of bringing peace to the world.
Now he was learning that his sister's child may in fact be alive. Old emotions stirred in the man's stomach.
"Konan," the man said.
"Yes Pain-sama?" the woman asked as she entered again.
The man said, "I need you to do something for me."
Meanwhile…
Naruto, Jiraiya, and Tenzo were making their way towards Konoha.
After being taken to the hospital to treat his chakra exhaustion Naruto and his group left the sandy village after they got the bounty for Sasori. Despite the puppets being badly damaged Kankuro took them in to use for himself when the time came. With that done the trio left at a much faster pace and headed for Konoha.
Flying on the back of one of Naruto's dragon they made it in record time.
Once they arrived they were halted by the two eternal guards Izumo and Kotetsu.
Once inside they immediately went to the Hokage's office. When they entered they found the blonde female hokage asleep on her desk.
"She did this a lot back in the academy didn't she?" Naruto asked Jiraiya who nodded.
Naruto said, "Does anyone know how to wake her up?"
As she said that Shizune walked up behind Naruto and said, "I think I know a way how."
The brunette walked up to the sleeping Godaime and yelled, "Wake up Lady Tsunade! Jiraiya is trying to molest you in your sleep!"
Almost immediately Tsunade jumpe dup from her sleeping position and glared ominously at Jiraiya before shooting forward and unleashing brutal right hook that knocked the man through a few walls before he lost enough momentum to collapse to the ground.
Naruto, Tenzo, and Shizune all laughed at Jiraiya's misfortune and at the shocked and slightly embarrassed look on Tsunade's face.
"That wasn't very nice to do to Jiraiya," Tsunade said.
"Yes," Shizune said, "but do I really need and excuse to see that pervert get socked in the face?"
Tsunade shrugged and said, "Fair enough. Now…how did the mission go?"
Naruto said, "The mission to Sunagakure was a success. Tenzo and Jiraiya faced off against Diedara and Sasori with the help of someone from Suna named Chiyo while I went off to face the Sasuke Uchiha. Sasori was beaten and killed by the combined efforts of Chiyo and Jiraiya. After my fight with the Uchiha I managed to throw Deidara away from the group when he tried to do some crazy suicide jutsu. The Kazekage was then returned home."
Tsunade asked, "What happened to the Uchiha?"
Naruto grinned and said, "His ashes are mixing with the sands as we speak."
Tsunade grinned when she heard that.
Naruto then said, "I also recovered the Kusangi from him as well as the sword Kubikiri bocho stolen from our own deceased Zabuza Momochi."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Will you be returning the swords to their rightful owners?"
Naruto said, "If by rightful owners you mean Anko Mitarashi and Haku Momochi then yes I am."
The female kage nodded and said, "You will be receiving your pay for this tomorrow afternoon. By the way you might want to get home and se your daughter Naruto. She has been wondering where you've been kid."
Naruto nodded before he vanished in a flash of yellow light. Jiraiya and Tenzo also vanished in a shushin.
"I wonder what happened to just going through the door?" Shizune asked as handed a pile of paperwork to her mentor.
At the Namikze compound…
Naruto appeared in a bright yellow. Naruto stepped forward and opened the door to the main building. Almost as soon as he did he was tackled by a blur. He looked down to see his little girl squeezing his diaphragm and cuddling his chest.
"Hey my little butterfly," Naruto said cuddling his little girl in his arms calling her by the pet name he had for her, "How have things been since I went on the mission?"
Kira answered, "I've been good daddy. Momma and aunt Yugito are out shopping. They got me these really nice babysitters."
The father and daughter pair walked into the house just in time to see Haku and Anko.
"Hello Naruto," Haku said, "It has been some time."
Naruto grinned and said, "Anko Mitarashi and Haku Momochi…just the pair I wanted to see."
The two looked at each other and said, "We are?"
Naruto nodded he set the girl down and she sat down in a nearby chair.
Naruto took out the two scrolls he had under his jacket and unsealed the two weapons inside.
The kusangi clattered to the floor while Kubikiri bocho smashed into the ground.
Both of the girls had wide eyes. Anko tentatively picked up the kusangi as if it was going to bite. With a little difficulty Haku managed to lift the massive sword that belonged to her now deceased father figure.
"Naruto…did you get these from-," Haku started.
Naruto nodded and said, "Ran into the duck haired jerk on our last mission. I got them from him with a little…persuasion."
Naruto would have just said that he killed the smug SOB, but there was a child in the room.
The two girls hugged Naruto tightly and left whooping with joy.
Kira walked up to Naruto and said, "Hey daddy while you were away I learned a new trick."
Naruto looked down at his little girl and asked, "Really? Well don't just stand there leaving me in suspense show me! While you're at it you can show me the other tricks you know."
With that the pair went to the back of compound towards the training ground. As they did there was a knocking at the door.
Naruto said, "Go on back sweetie I'll be there in a minute."
Naruto answered the door to see his perverted godfather standing there with a huge mark on the side of his face.
"Hello ero-sennin," Naruto said, "What are you doing here? And I better not hear anything about my daughter because you are not going to use her to try and pick up women!"
Jiraiya said, "Easy there Naruto. I just ran into those two girlfriends of yours. Fu said something about her having a special skill from both you and her…I was wondering what that was."
Naruto sighed and said, "Darn you Fu and your sometimes very big mouth."
Meanwhile Fu sneezed making a lot of young men around her offer her a tissue and caused said girl and Yugito to roll their eyes at the desperation that some men in this village had.
"I'll show you," Naruto said.
With that he led the old man to the training ground.
Kira was waiting for them and she waved yelling, "Hi ero-jij!"
Jiraiya face palmed when he heard the little girl say that accursed nickname. Why is it that no one in Minatao's family always disrespected him?
Naruto said, "Okay my little butterfly…show me what you got."
Kira nodded and, to the shock of Jiraiya, started focusing his chakra. As a result of being born from two Jinchuuriki Kira's chakra coils had developed extraordinarily fast as well as it having the density of the Uzumaki clan chakra which would allow her to use chakra chains when Naruto taught them to her.
The chakra focused on Kira's back and a pair of large (for her size) butterfly wings spread out across her back. They were currently gray with a back line that resembled a monarch butterfly.
"So that's why you call her that," Jiraiya said.
Naruto nodded and said, "Okay little one…show us what you got!"
Kira nodded. She floated up into the air as the wings changed from gray to red. The wings burst into flames before she flapped them sending wave of fire forward. They changed from red to blue before she flapped them again sending waves of water that extinguished the flames. Her wings turned green as they flapped sending waves of wind that blew away the smoke. Kira's wings turned white before she performed a tiny spin sending a boomerang shaped bolt of lightning outward that bounced around. Her wings finally turned brown as earth focused on her wings. They took the blast of lightning and stood solid.
Naruto clapped and said, "Good show little one. Now…what was that new trick you wanted to show me?"
Kira grinned before he butterfly wings turned into a pair of dragon fly wings. The little girl's wings started buzzing. Naruto covered his ears due to the noise caused by the wings. The ground beneath her actually started to crack from the sound.
"Whoa," Naruto said as Kira stopped buzzing and her wings receded.
"Whoa is right," Jiraiya said, "What was that?"
Kira jumped into Naruto's arms with a giggle. Naruto started to rock her back and forth. Kira tried to stave off the sleepy feeling that came with the rocking and Naruto said, "Don't worry sweetie. We can play when you wake up."
The girl yawned cutely and started to sleep snoring in an adorable way.
"She got a mix of the chakra from me and Fu when she was born," Naruto explained, "When she was two she started manifesting these butterfly wings. On top of that her chakra coils started to develop faster than normal. By the time that she's a genin she'll have jonin level chakra according to Tsume-chan. Anyway, we call her bloodline the Butai Kochou (element butterfly). It's basically my bloodline mixed with the powers of an insect thanks to Fu containing that giant beetle. Though, the trick with a dragonfly's wings is new. Looks like it might extend if this goes on."
Jiraiya was shocked when he heard this. Apparently Naruto's bloodline was versatile depending on who he bore children with. He wondered what would happen if he bore a child with Yugito and Tsume.
Naruto was suddenly aware of an unfamiliar chakra. He said, "Would you mind putting Kira-chan to bed? I warn you if you don't I warn you I have a Hirashin seal etched into all of her clothing so in case she gets kidnapped, so if you do something with her I will hunt you down and turn you into a lady."
Jiraiya's face was as white as his hair as he grabbed the little girl gently from Naruto's arms and ran for it.
Naruto said, "I know you're there lady I can practically sense your chakra."
There was a swift gust of wind and Konan appeared.
"Are you Akatsuki getting so desperate that you have to attack me in my own home?" Naruto asked as he placed his hand on his weapon.
Konan held up her hands in a peaceful gesture and said, "Easy there Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze…I come in peace."
Naruto said, "What are you doing here lady?"
Konan answered, "I bring a message from a lost member of your family…of the Uzumaki clan."
Naruto's eyes widened and he said, "What do you mean of the Uzumaki clan? I went to Uzugakure and it was nothing but ruins."
Konan said, "He is a survivor of your homeland during the Third Shinobi War. He is willing to meet with you tonight if you are willing."
With that she vanished in a plume of smoke.
Naruto looked at where the woman had been standing just moments ago and sat down thinking. Was this a trap or was this the genuine article? He glanced up to where he could see Kira's room. Naruto thought for a second.
He got up and created a shadow clone before running off to the hokage tower.
A few hours later…
Naruto stood around in the forest around the edge of Konoha. He glanced at the moon and guessed the time. Around him, hidden to the naked eye, were multiple ANBU and Jiriaya.
Naruto stood still for a moment. Then he sensed a familiar chakra.
He spun around and saw Konan walking with a red haired man. He had no shirt showing his muscled exterior as well as six rods coming out of his back and what looked like armor covering his legs. Naruto noticed that the man seemed to have a little bit of trouble walking.
"So…you are Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze," the man said.
"I take it you're the man that the pretty lady here told me about," Naruto said with a tone that made the man laugh.
"You talk just like my sister," Nagato said, "My dear sister Kushina…if only I knew she was alive."
Naruto gained a shocked look as did the ANBU and Jiraiya.
"You're…my uncle?" Naruto asked.
"Yes," Nagato said, "I managed to get a blood sample from myself and from you after one of your many, many battles. We are related by blood. Unfortunately, I am the figurehead of the Akatsuki organization."
At that everyone tensed.
"So you're the leader of the group that has been hunting me and my kind for all this time?" Naruto yelled.
Nagato said, "I don't expect you to understand child. I was driven by grief after the destruction of my village, and the death of my very best friend. This was long before I knew you were alive. Forgive my nephew. I wish to make amends…for my sister, your mother's sake."
Naruto looked at the man with a raised eyebrow.
He then said, "Tell me all you know about the members of the Akatsuki."
Cut! Okay I've ready plenty of stories where Nagato is Naruto's uncle so I figured why not? Also the reason Nagato can walk after the crippling thing is due to the Asura path. I'm surprised nobody ever tried doing tha with him before. Anyway next chapter is a family bonding chapter with Naruto and his uncle…though Naruto doesn't trust him completely yet. It'll take a little bit before he trusts him completely. Okay bye!
