KG: Hey people thanks for that info on Tsunade and Naruto. I guess I'll keep it at the honorific for cousins now. I'll get started now.
Morning
Everyone was standing in front of their motel as Tsunade relayed her news to both Shizune and Jiraiya from what Naruto had told her last night. Needless to say that everyone was surprised that she and Naruto had talked about her going to Kumo.
"But Tsunade if you go to Kumo then how is Konoha-," Jiraiya started, but he stopped when saw Tsunade hold up her hand.
"Jiraiya let's face it. I'm not gonna be Hokage so you might as well do it. You're a lot more capable than you think, even if you could stand to stop being a pervert. Go be Hokage Jiraiya. Just don't die on me," Tsunade said and Jiraiya sighed. He looked at everyone smiling towards him before he threw his hands up and shrugged.
"Fine, I guess I could stand to be behind a desk for awhile. Alright Tsunade, when I become Hokage," Jiraiya slightly shuddered before continuing knowing that most of his activities would be limited from now on.
"I guess I could transfer you to Kumo if you want. The council will have my head for it, but I think I can handle them just fine. Also as for Naruto's group this mission will be a success," Jiraiya finished making Naruto raise an eyebrow.
"But Ero-sennin you said that we needed to find Tsunade-itoko to make her Hokage. Since you're doing isn't it a failure?" Naruto asked making the others nod with him, but Jiraiya waved it off.
"No, your mission was to help me find a new Hokage for Konoha. I just specifically stated that we look for Tsunade, but we have a new Hokage so it's a success. Here is your payment," Jiraiya said handing the four a scroll. They all raised an eyebrow at it before they saw Jiraiya' grin.
"It's your reward, but I suggest you not open it for another two years when your ready," Jiraiya told them making them sweatdrop.
"Two years? Why so long?" They asked, but as they looked back at the road they saw Jiraiya was gone leaving a note on the ground. It said 'this scroll will help you in the future. I'll tell you nothing me'.
"Why is he so weird?" Karui wondered before Tsunade chuckled and rested her arms on Naruto's head.
"He's always been weird, but he knows how to do right. You'll just have to trust him. Now then where else are you guys going?" Tsunade asked as Samui pulled out the scroll containing mission assignments. She unfurled it as Naruto crossed off their first mission. She sighed and looked at the next one.
"Next we are going to Suna because they have a document that they want sent to Kumo for some reason. We have our assignment so let's go," Samui said to everyone and they all agreed, but then Naruto stopped them for a second as bit his thumb.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto yelled as he slammed the ground making a small poof as everyone coughed a bit. They then saw a small white fox scratching it's ear before looking at the blonde in front of it.
"Hello Naruto-sama. Fuku told me we had a new summoner. It's nice to meet you. I'm Hiryu what can I do for you?" The fox asked and Naruto took out a piece of paper. He quickly wrote inside it for a little while before handing it to the fox.
"Please take this to Kumo's Raikage for me. It's important that he knows about it," Naruto said and the fox eagerly took the note into his mouth.
"You can count on me Naruto-sama," Hiryu said as he poofed away while Naruto slowly got up to his feet.
"Alright then, now we can go dattebayo," Naruto said as his team, Tsunade, and Shizune walked away.
Back in Kumo
Darui and Atsui sighed as they had medic nins looking over them. A sighed as he watched them get bandaged up.
"What happened here?" A asked making Darui and Atsui look at each other before sighing. They held their heads down and slight contempt for their actions.
"Well Raikage-sama, Itachi and Kisame infiltrated our village. They were two missing nin from the Akatsuki organization that you knew about had VOLT checking out. We managed to hold them off until others arrived to help us. They came for Naruto-san," Darui explained and A narrowed his eyes as he turned around towards the door.
"What could that want with the brat?" A asked and Atsui slowly rose to his feet.
"They said they were here for the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. I think they were after little bro's bijuu," Atsui told him and A growled. He had to be lucky that Naruto was already gone and wouldn't be back for a bit of time.
"Well in any case make sure you comb every inch of this place. I won't have Akatsuki threatening my shinobi," A said and immediately everyone nodded in agreement with him as some of the shinobi surrounding him scattered out before A saw a poof on his desk which showed Hiryu with a scroll in his mouth. A raised an eyebrow at him while Hiryu spoke.
"Are you Raikage-sama?" Hiryu asked and A nodded. The fox pushed the scroll to him and A took it in his hands.
"What's this?" A asked and Hiryu smiled as he scratched his ears again.
"It's from Naruto-sama. He told me to give it to you. See you later," The fox said before it poofed out of sight. A opened the scroll and ran through its contents.
"To A-Jiji,
Hey Jiji how's it going? You won't believe who offered to come back to Kumo with me, Karui-nee, Samui-nee, and Omoi. We met up with Ero-sennin and we found my cousin, Tsunade Senju. She's really nice and we talked for a bit so she decided to come to Kumo with us. On a side note Jiraiya-oji is gonna become Konoha's Hokage. Weird isn't it? Well we're going to Suna now. They obviously have some business with us. See you in a few months.
Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze,"
A looked down the entire scroll and it took a few minutes for everything to catch up to him.
"What! Tsunade's Senju's coming here. It's been quite a long time since I've seen her. She always was a nuisance, but what does he mean by family? If Naruto's her cousin then that's news to me, but it's fine. She'll really help Kumo not to mention I can finally have some competent medical shinobi. Not to mention she might make a good advisor if not for that drinking problem," A said to himself before Mabui came through the door.
"Raikage-sama there is a message from C-san. He said that he, Yugito, and Bee are coming home and will be ready to resume active missions upon their return," Mabui said and A nodded with slight thanks to her.
"That's good to know. That stupid brother of mine better start doing his job again. Also Mabui be ready for any news from Suna. Naruto says their headed their right now," A said and Mabui smiled.
"So Naruto-kun's alright then?" Mabui asked and A nodded. Then he got a gleam in his eye and smiled.
"Darui's alright too," A said and immediately Mabui raised an eyebrow.
"What does that have to do with me?" Mabui asked and A shrugged his shoulders as he watched Mabui leave, but even so he didn't miss the small smirk she had on her face which made him chuckle.
"Looks like I worry about that woman for nothing. She really needs to get out more," A said to himself before he went back to signing documents and going on with his work.
With Yugito
The Nibi jinchuuriki sighed as she looked out on the bow of the ship. She watched the waves crash into each other and for small whirlpools. They constantly reminded her of her own Uzumaki whirlpool who she still couldn't stop thinking about. It was becoming such a downpour for her. She and Nibi had a much better connection than she could've imagined. They fought and Yugito won if only by a margin of luck.
"Hey I miss him too. Naruto-kun is still the hot blonde we both love so much. Ohh Kyuubi is so lucky to have him all to herself," Nibi said and Yugito's eyebrow twitched.
"Funny Nibi. Stop making me more nervous than I already am. I'm probably gonna have to take more missions soon," Yugito said, but then Nibi chuckled.
"Come on Kitten, don't you think you should be preparing?" Nibi asked and Yugito raised an eyebrow. She tried to think of what she should be preparing for that Nibi knew about.
"Preparing? For what?" Yugito asked and Nibi chuckled in her domain which Yugito had fixed for her. It now wasn't a cage, but green field filled with lively cats around her and a small waterfall. Not to mention the nice house that she was able to live in which coincidentally had Naruto for a good boyfriend.
"Why preparing for the jonin exams. You know those exams are for chunin who have had that rank for the past two years as well as completed a number of C,B, and A-ranked missions. Let's see to your name you have 165 D-rank missions, 23 C-rank missions, 12 B-rank missions and 4 A-rank missions. I think you'd be good for competing. Besides imagine Naruto-kun's surprise when you pass him again," Nibi told her and Yugito chuckled with a small nod.
"Maybe it will be good to do that. I certainly can't wait to try it," Yugito thought and Nibi nodded as she walked back to her house.
"And maybe you should start moving your things to Naruto-kun's house. He still set it up in the mountains somewhere. It'll be another surprise. You know he goes there from time to time. I also know he was planning on moving there anyways," Nibi reasoned and Yugito had to agree that it was a good idea when Nibi said it like that.
"I guess that would be a good idea. Well I'll just wait for the time that I can see him again," Yugito said and Nibi nodded.
"Then you can reunite and he came show you just how much he missed you after those months," Nibi said and Yugito slightly blushed with a nod.
Back with Naruto, three days later
Naruto and his team were currently walking towards Suna and the blistering heat was getting to them all. A had sent them a note about Tsunade and told her to come to the village so the slug princess and her assistant left Naruto's team to their own devices which wasn't bad at all. Tsunade said she would miss her cousin, but Naruto said that three months wouldn't be long at all.
So currently, Naruto and the rest of Team Samui were closing in on the Suna gates.
"How long have our shoes been buried in sand?" Omoi asked as he fanned his sweating face.
"It's been about two and a half days since then. Stop complaining. It's too hot for this," Karui said while Naruto and Samui maintained an air of coolness that made their two teammates growl.
"Why aren't you guys hot?" Karui asked with a bit of irritation in her voice making her even hotter. Naruto chuckled as he turned around.
"I grew up in Konoha Karui-nee. I'm used to the heat and while it's hotter here than there it doesn't really matter for me," Naruto told her and then all eyes fell on Samui who was looking in front of her.
"I rarely mind the heat so I'm fine. Just don't think about it and you'll be fine and cool," Samui said to them making Karui and Omoi have no choice, but to listen to her advice for the moment. Besides they wouldn't have to deal with it long as the gates were soon getting bigger and bigger for everyone to see for themselves.
"Looks like we made it. Now then let's get this document so we can get out of here," Naruto told them making everyone nod in agreement with him as they came up to the gates and what a sight they saw as they came to see Baki waiting for them.
"Kumo?" He asked and Samui nodded as the present leader of the group.
"That's right Baki-san. We're here for the document that Suna wants to give to Kumo," she said and Baki nodded ordering the four chunin to follow him to the informant.
"Would you like to rest before you leave? Suna still has a lot of great places and we've livened up since the invasion," Baki said as everyone settled for shrugging their shoulders. They weren't really on a time limit, but they'd preferred to get everything done so they could rest.
"That'll be nice, but if you could give us the document right now then that would be nice also," Karui said wanting them to get to the point. There was a good place to rest between Suna and their next mission destination where she wanted to visit and it sure as hell wasn't in the desert.
"I see, well that's fine. I'll just get going then. Hey you're the kid who fought and beat Gaara aren't you?" Baki asked Naruto making Samui, Karui and Omoi smile.
"Yeah. Oh how is Gaara doing anyway?" Naruto asked before he saw someone come from around the corner.
"I've been fine Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. It's good to see you," Gaara said to him and Naruto nodded in agreement. Gaara then took a glance at Omoi who was looking off in another direction so he didn't meet Gaara's gaze. Oh he remembered Gaara. He still remembered that Chunin exam fight a few weeks ago he had with the redhead along with that girl, Tenten. He'd really rather not do that again.
Thankfully Gaara stopped glaring enough as his siblings came from around the corner. Temari and Kankuro widened their eyes at seeing the Kumo genin especially Temari who was specifically looking at the two blondes.
"Hey your that blonde who I was supposed to fight in the Chunin exams," Temari said as Samui turned to her. She looked at the girl for a second and raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you?" she asked and everyone faulted.
"I'm Sabaku no Temari. I was in the Chunin exams!" Temari yelled as Kankuro tried to calm her down.
"Sorry I just don't remember details like that. I suppose we were to fight, but that's in the past for right now," Samui responded while Temari gritted her teeth.
"In any case why are you guys here?" Kankuro asked trying to break some of the tension in the air.
"We're here on a mission. Simple as that. Baki-san is supposed to give us a document from Suna to Kumo," Omoi said before he saw a shop. He looked inside and told everyone he would be right back which left them all stand in the middle of the street talking.
No one had anything to really talk about so when Baki came back mostly everyone was relieved. It was also then that Omoi returned with a lollipop in his mouth making Karui slap her forehead.
"Can't you go one day without those damn things?" The redhead asked and Omoi rolled his eyes
"Man I think Kumo heard you you're so loud. Calm down Karui before you faint and die," Omoi told her making Karui roll her eyes also.
"Whatever you lazy-ass," Karui said as Baki returned.
"Here you go. This is a small document that contains the local trading routes across Suna and Kumo. We'd ask that the Raikage agree to this little document so that we can agree on a good term," Baki said handing the document to Naruto. Samui took the document and looked it over. Simply call it a precautionary reason. Samui looked it over and nodded before handing it back to Naruto who bit his thumb.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto yelled slamming the ground and immediately both Hiryu and Fuku came out to greet their summoner.
"Greetings Naruto-sama. How may we help you today?" Fuku asked and Naruto handed her the scroll for the trades.
"Can you give this to A-Jiji for me? It'll be good if he gets this as soon as possible," Naruto said and the two foxes nodded before taking his scroll onto Fuku's mouth and the two poofed out while Naruto stood back to his feet.
"Well I think that's done so I think we're good," Naruto said to them making the others nod as Samui crossed this mission off their list.
"So you guys can't stay or anything? We wouldn't mind if you did," Temari said, but Samui shook her head.
"Sorry, but we're in a rush to get some things done. Right now we're a little behind the schedule so we'll be going. Naruto's got the next location and it's a place we know quite well so we can get there if we need to," Samui said and Naruto nodded. He really would've wanted to stay, but that the way mountains crumble as they say in Kumo.
"Well alright, it was nice to see you guys. I'll definitely get that spare one day," Temari said glaring at Samui who rolled her eyes.
"You guys are too energetic for me I swear," Samui said mostly to herself, but that was beside the point.
"Well that's the case. I'll see you later Gaara," Naruto said patting the redhead on the shoulder.
"It was nice to see your face Naruto. I've learned a lot from our encounter," Gaara said and Naruto nodded giving him a thumbs up while Karui tapped her foot impatiently.
"Yeah yeah, let's get going now! We spent so much time going over these damn things so can we leave?" Karui asked and everyone nodded. They quickly grabbed Naruto and the blonde quickly vanished in the Hiraishin making everyone sigh as they watched them leave.
"Man I'm so gonna get her to fight me one day," Temari said while Kankuro looked at the back of Gaara's shoulder.
"Hey Gaara you have something on your shoulder," Kankuro said and everyone looked at the arrangement of seals on the Ichibi jinchuuriki's back.
"Hmm I wonder if Naruto put it there," Temari said to everyone before they all got back to what they were doing as they also had missions to do.
Back in Kumo
A sighed as he signed some documents. He rubbed the back of his head and saw Mabui come through the door with Tsunade and Shizune. A narrowed his eyes before excusing his secretary.
"The brat's full of surprises," A said and Tsunade nodded with a chuckle as she crossed her arms. She did have to find the situation ironic in a way.
"Yeah he is, but then again he is my cousin so what can you do," Tsunade said while Shizune bowed to the Raikage.
"So I take it you want to come here. The brat told me in his letter that Jiraiya was going to the Hokage. That's nice I guess, but now then Naruto told me that you wanted to join. So why should I let you?" A asked feigning a little arrogance. He would die to have someone like Tsunade in his village, but he couldn't show that.
"Well you know my skills and I just want to stay close to my remaining family besides Shizune," Tsunade said and A nodded. He then sighed and rubbed the back of his head. He really wasn't sure how to go about this.
"Well Kumo is sort of lacking in the medical staff. I can place you there, but on two conditions," A said and Tsunade raised an eyebrow along with Shizune. They nodded and A smiled.
"Train the medical staff in medical ninjutsu to the best of your abilities and lastly be on my council. It's very rare that I get the opinion of a sannin in my discussions and I'd like to know how you think at times. That's all," A said and Tsunade chuckled.
"That's it? Well that should be easy enough. I'll just wait till Jiraiya signs the papers for my release of Konoha and you can instate me. It'll be nice working with you," Tsunade said with her hand out and A grabbed it. The two chuckled as they squeezed harder while laughing at each other while Shizune sweatdropped and backed away while Mabui came into the room and the sight made her sweatdrop also.
"Umm are they always going to be like that?" Shizune and Mabui said to each other at the same time. They both sighed as pinched their noses. This was going to be such a headache from now on
Back In Konoha
Jiraiya sighed as he was sitting with the council members as well as most of the elites of the village.
"Jiraiya-sama while we are thrilled that you changed your mind about being Hokage would you tell us why you did so?" someone asked and Jiraiya lifted his elbows to the table and rested hi chin in his palms.
"I just think that it's time I got serious about my responsibilities is all. I also think that I could do good for the village," Jiraiya said making almost everyone nod with him.
'Well alright Jiraiya-sama, that fine. We'll begin your coronation immediately, but who's going to handle your spy network? It's one of the most proficient networks in the world if not the best," a councilwoman said and Jiraiya nodded. He had been thinking about that a lot.
"Well I know that it's time for someone new to manage it and I believe that one of our jonin will be up to it. That's why I'm going to be training Kakashi Hatake in the art immediately when I see him. I believe that since a young age, Kakashi has shown remarkable talent and thus I can agree that he can manage the network as good as me if not better," Jiraiya told everyone and the people of the council agreed with him that Kakashi was probably the best for the job, well almost all the people.
"But he manages a genin team. Wouldn't that be leaving the three of our genin without a jonin sensei?" Sarutobi asked. He was really surprised when Jiraiya said he'd be the Hokage, but the man couldn't think of anyone else to be his successor so the Sandaime took in strides of slight joy.
Jiraiya chuckled with a nod as he and Naruto had thought about everything at one point and Naruto did give him the best option at that point.
"That's why I'm going to have Anko Mitarashi replace Kakashi. If you look at her record as well as her standing then she's a woman of great potential. She might be excessive at times, but I know that she's a great person. The only other person that I can think of is Genma, but I know he's barely different from Kakashi in that aspect of being apathetic and I think a little diversity for them is good. Does anyone want to argue with me?" Jiraiya asked and everyone muttered to themselves, but no one had anything to say that would refute Jiraiya's word as they knew he was right in that aspect.
"Well Jiraiya-sama you seem to have thought this all out so we will go with it immediately. Please tell Kakashi-san this news at your earliest convenience," one of them said and Jiraiya chuckled.
"He already knows. I think he should be discussing it with his genin right now," Jiraiya said and everyone nodded as they continued to talk about some things.
With Kakashi
Sakura, Sasuke and Sai were surprised or at the least incredibly shocked. Kakashi had news for them and he wasn't late this time. In fact he was downright early. It was amazing or at the least creepy to say that least. They were sitting in their regular training field while Kakashi leaned up again a tree.
"So Kakashi-sensei why did you call us out here? Don't we have the day off?" Sakura asked and Kakashi nodded that they did. He rubbed the back of his head, but then got serious.
"Yeah well about that. Our next Hokage has been decided," Kakashi said and everyone widened their eyes. They glanced at each other for a split second before turning back to their sensei.
"Well that's great and all, but what does that have to do with us?" Sasuke asked and Kakashi nodded deciding it was best not to try and go around his point.
"Alright you can't tell anyone else this, but Jiraiya-sama of the Sannin will be taking over as our Hokage. We were fortunate to find someone so early, but he also has a specific network. A spy network to be exact. It requires careful managing so he asked me to do it and I agreed," Kakashi said making Sasuke gasp along with Sakura while Sai raised an eyebrow before taking out a book to draw in.
"so you're taking us with you aren't you sensei?" Sakura asked not seeing what Kakashi was saying which made everyone sweatdrop.
"Isn't it obvious that we're not going? It's not like he can babysit a tiny breasted girl like you all the time. He's saying that we're going to be given a new sensei while he takes over Jiraiya-sama's spy network which means we will rarely see him around," Sai said making Sakura growl before she turned back to Kakashi who was nodding.
"In essence that's it. You'll be given a new sensei and it is someone that Jiraiya-sama has perfect confidence in and that person will be taking over for you all," Kakashi said while Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Maybe this could be a good thing.
"And who is this person?" Sai asked as he got his response when a kunai landed to his private area making the genin slightly jump along with his teammates.
"That would be me Gaki. Rest assured that by the time I'm done with you you'll all be begging for death, but you'll be damn straight shinobi," Anko said coming from the tree while Sakura pointed.
"You're that crazy snake lady from the Chunin exams," Sakura said while Anko glared at her.
"I have a name brat. I'm Anko Mitarashi thank you very much and I'll be Team seven's new jonin sensei. Know that I'm not as relaxed as Kakashi so we're gonna have lots of fun," Anko said as she licked her lips making the three genin flinch while Kakashi chuckled.
"Well that's the way it is. See ya later," The jonin said as he shunshined out of sight leaving a smirking Anko with her new genin 'friends'.
"Whoever did this is gonna pay," Sasuke said in thought as he wondered how much trouble they were all going to be in.
With Team Samui, somewhere at the edge of Wind Country
"Achoo," Naruto sneezed as he rubbed his nose while his team stopped in front of a door.
"Are you alright Otouto?" Karui asked wondering if Naruto was getting a cold, but Naruto waved it off. The blonde sighed as he as he straightened up.
"I'm fine Karui-oneechan. Just felt a chill down my spin," Naruto said to her and everyone reluctantly nodded before opening the door to their next location. The sun was going down, but if what it was said on their mission document then they would need to do this at nighttime anyway.
"Alright then let's go to our next mission. After this mission we will stop for the day and continue into the rest of tomorrow morning," Samui told them and everyone nodded as Samui opened the door. They came into a large mansion and saw a man in some fancy robes. He looked at them and smiled.
"Are you the one who sent us this mission request?" Samui asked the man and he nodded.
"That's right. I'm one of this town's nobles and I saw you fight. I saw you three fight and I saw umm Samui's record. You're all exceptional and I needed you to handle this mission," the noble said and everyone thanked him for the compliment.
"So why aren't you asking for Suna's help since you're like three or four hours away?" Omoi asked earning a small slap on his head.
"Simply because I want to see how Kumo handles itself. I'm one of those nobles who likes to keep his options open to him. I've seen all that Suna can do as well as what Kiri and the same with Konoha. I really want to see what Kumo and Iwa can do," The noble said and everyone rolled their eyes.
"You couldn't take Iwa could you?," Naruto said to himself silently and cursing the man for giving them this mission when he could be back at home with Kyuubi and Yugito.
"Isn't there some kind of rule that says you can't have multiple contracts with shinobi from different countries?" Karui asked as everyone glared at the man.
"I doubt there is, but are you here to interrogate me or can I give you your mission?" the noble asked and everyone sighed, but nodded willing to let everything go.
"Yes sir," They said and the man nodded as he got up from his seat. He walked out into his yard and watched as hi wife played with their daughter.
"Shinobi have been sending us some threatening letters. I hide them from my wife and child as they don't need to know about this, but it's getting out of control. I don't know what to do," The man said as he turned to them and bowed his head.
"Please, I'll pay anything you wish, but help my family be safe," the man said and everyone looked at each other. They all nodded and Samui touched his shoulder.
"Lift your head. We'll help you. What can you tell us of these rouge shinobi?" Samui asked and the man nodded. He quickly got back to his feet and escorted Team Samui back into the living room where they all sat on some elegant looking chairs while the man tried to remember some of the people.
"Well I know that they were comprised of multiple countries. There were people from Kiri, Iwa, Suna, Kiri and Konoha. It was a band of shinobi, but they weren't that big. Maybe a dozen people. They came about four day to a week ago demanding that I give them all my money and possessions or they would kill me, my wife, my child and any civilians they found. People around here trust me to do the right thing so please help," The man said and everyone nodded.
"Alright then. We'll take it from here. We'll need some rooms to stay in, but we'd also like a layout of the building," Samui said and the man nodded as he left to get her what she wanted.
Team Samui gathered around in a circle and started to plan.
"Alright so let's assume their there are a dozen people. We'd each have to take three people and if we did it in pairs then it's half a dozen. He is telling the truth and so we'll need to be quick. He said that the last time they appeared was two days ago so based on that information we can only assume that they will be coming here tonight so we'll each take turns standing guard around the place. I'll take the first shift and it will rotate every two hours ending with Naruto. We'll need to lay some traps and let the experience go with our course of action," Samui said to everyone making them confused and so the blonde took out a piece of paper and an ink pen.
"Set a trap here for example. If the enemy walks in and the other suspect it then they are genin to chunin to fall for such a thing. If they avoid it and act cautious of our plans then they are chunin to jonin. We've taken on jonin-level shinobi before, but remember that Bee-sensei and Yugito-sensei aren't with us so we'll have to be careful," Samui told them and everyone nodded with her as the noble came back with the specs that she wanted.
"Here you go miss Kunoichi-san," the noble said and Samui nodded. They all looked at the blueprints and Samui started to write.
"Alright since little brother is the fuinjutsu expert then he will be laying the traps in these places," Samui said pointing to the places and Naruto nodded while Samui instructed the others. It was probably going to be a long night, but everyone was ready for it.
"Alright is everyone ready for it?" Samui asked. The three chunin nodded and Samui smiled.
"Alright then. Let's get started," Samui said as they all left the room.
Nighttime
Naruto was walking around the corridors of the dark Mansion. No one had showed in the last six hours, but they didn't let their guard down. Naruto sighed as he walked around while twirling a kunai.
"You know you could find something interesting to do," Kyuubi said coming into the conversation. Naruto chuckled at her and rolled his eyes.
"Want out of that cage that badly huh?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi sheepishly chuckled.
"Was it that obvious?" she asked and Naruto nodded as he stopped and leaned on a wall.
"I understand though. You also know what I'm going to do, but if I did it now then that might give away our plan. So can you wait until we're done with that?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi smiled.
"Fine, but when I'm out I demand that you let me kiss me," Kyuubi said and Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Haven't I already done that?" the blonde asked and Kyuubi snorted.
"A real kiss. Not in the mind, but in real life. One full of passion that I want," Kyuubi said and Naruto chuckled before he blushed at her words.
"You really are a bossy girlfriend you know that? But to your request. I would love to Kyuubi-chan," Naruto said with a smile, but that smile quickly faded as he narrowed his eyes.
"Looks like that's going to have to wait," Kyuubi said as Naruto got to his feet. He sighed as he quickly when to the living room. He shook Samui's shoulder as the blonde chunin opened her eyes.
"Samui-neechan their here," Naruto said to her and Samui's gaze turned cold as she got to her feet. Both blondes shook Omoi and Karui and told them the news.
"Alright now that we're all up what do we do?" Karui asked and Samui narrowed her eyes as she saw about eight people arrive. The other four must've stayed back. That easily told Samui that they were dealing with Chunin to Jonin level rouge shinobi.
"Alright then Naruto and I will provide a distraction while you two escort the family to safety. Remember don't let the wife and child know what's happening. We have that favor from our client. They won't be silent for long so let's hurry this up," Samui told them and everyone nodded as Karui and Omoi left the scene to get everyone away from soon to be battlefield.
"Ready Samui-nee?" Naruto asked and Samui took out her tanto. She nodded and the blondes quickly jumped out of the buildings surprising the rogue shinobi.
"Well I didn't expect the old man to hire some shinobi. Oh he's gonna get it when we're done with him, his wife and his child," one of them said as Naruto and Samui came forward.
"You're not going anywhere near this house so you can just run with you damn headbands between your legs," Naruto said and the rogue shinobi chuckled.
"This kids got balls. We'll then let's see you back that up," one of them said as they threw a kunai at the two blonde. Naruto and Samui both dodged as they quickly erased the distance between them and their enemies. The rogue shinobi were caught off guard by the sudden burst in speed that the two chunin gave, but they quickly took out their weapons and each charged at the two.
Naruto sidestepped a sword that was aimed at his side before jumping over another person. He grinned like mad as he took out one of his sword.
"Scum like you disgust me," Naruto said as he also summoned a shadow clone. Naruto charged at his enemies while his clone went through its handsigns.
"Raiton: Hisan'na Kumo( Lighting Release: Desperate Lightning Cloud)," The Naruto clone yelled as it sent a fierce thunder line towards Naruto's sword. The lightning attached to the sword and the blonde grinned as his eyes glowed by the intensity of the lightning.
"Time to get started," Naruto said as he kicked one of the rouges to the side before taking his sword and slashing at the one next to him. He stomped on the ground, but quickly made the perfect transition to a low kick as he took a glance at Samui who was doing really well. He refocused back on his own opponents as he tried to punch one, but he was blocked and then sent flying by an opposite hit. He saw one of the rouges grin before the blonde cursed.
"Alright then try this," Naruto said as he closed his eyes. He locked onto one of his seals and grinned. During that hit he managed to place a seal formula on one of the enemies. Immediately to everyone's shock the blonde disappeared and appeared about their friend. Naruto held out his hand and instantly a blue sphere appeared.
"I refuse to lose and you guys are going down. Rasengan," Naruto yelled as he slammed the ball into the man's back crushing him underneath its massive ball of spiraling chakra. Naruto grinned as someone widened his eyes.
"T-Those two jutsu. They were from our Yondaime's-," the ex-Konoha shinobi began, but Naruto chuckled.
"Oh there is so much about me you don't know dattebayo," Naruto said before he closed his eyes again. He smiled as he felt Kyuubi give him a small boost. His body was charged in red chakra making all the shinobi widen their eyes.
"Boss, I didn't sign up for this!" one of the shinobi yelled making Naruto and Samui look to see a man come out with a heavy looking club.
"Please you fool. He's just a brat. Watch and learn," the man said and Naruto smiled as he took out his other sword. He and the man clashed with their weapons as their aura made it hard for everyone else to breathe.
"Well kid you're rather skilled. At least you're not weak like most genin," The leader said and Naruto chuckled before he used the Hiraishin to escape the man from getting a hit on him. He smiled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Well thank you I guess, but you won't survive this attack. Not on you're life," Naruto said as Samui knocked someone else out. She withdrew her tanto and backflipped away before she did her own handsigns.
"Doragon Dansu( Dragon Dance)," Samui said as her fist was charged with Raiton chakra. She dashed at one man before she evaded a kick to the face and grabbed the man's arm. She maneuvered it into a submission hold as she looked at everyone.
"Targeting innocent people. Not cool," she said as she slammed the guy in the back causing an explosion making everyone cover their eyes as Naruto jumped into the air.
"Samui-neechan send me higher," Naruto told her and Samui nodded as she did a handstand. Naruto feet accurately jumped on the soles of her feet as Samui sent him into the air as Naruto crossed his fingers.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto yelled as he made another clone. Both went through their handsigns as they finished in record time while Samui backed away.
"Raiton: Honoo no Hana( Lightning Release: Flame Flower)," the two Narutos said as they sent flower looking fires covered in lighting chakra towards the ground. Everyone panicked as they backed away before they felt the earth quake. Naruto grinned as he hit the floor, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain as he was hit into a tree making him wince.
"You're getting cocky brat. Don't try it," the jonin level shinobi said but he dropped Naruto as he blocked a kick from Samui. The blonde girl slightly grinned before she poofed out of existence. It was then that the jonin was trapped when Samui captured his arms and paralyzed his legs with her tanto.
"Naruto hit him now!" Samui called out and the Naruto laying at the tree poofed out while Naruto came out of a bush and charged with two raiton powered rasengans in his hands. The jonin widened his eyes before he chuckled as he closed his eyes.
"Fuuton: Myakudō Kyōfū( Wind Release: Gale Pulsation)," The jonin yelled as he blasted Samui away from him which gave him enough time to dodge Naruto's attack. The two blondes cursed as the man chuckled. He saw all his men cower before the blonde and growled.
"You're all spineless wimps. Get a damn drip," He said, but then Naruto used the Hiraishin to appear next to one of them as he held a kunai to his throat.
"Give up now," Naruto said with his eyes in red slits, but the man chuckled as he threw a kunai at the man's chest as it pierced Naruto's side making the blonde widen his eyes as he watched the man drop to the ground. Naruto gritted his teeth and turned to his opponent.
"To treat your comrade like that. Pathetic," Naruto said to him and the man chuckled.
"Seriously brat, you don't know anything. They are just my tools to be tossed at my disposal and it's time for you to die," the jonin said as he went through more handsigns. Naruto narrowed his eyes and sighed.
"Kyuubi-chan, give me one tail of chakra," Naruto demanded and Kyuubi wasn't about to argue with him. Naruto felt his reserves filled and the blonde went through his handsigns.
"I'll make you pay," Naruto said as Samui stood next to him. She did her own handsigns as the jonin finished first.
"Suiton: Daisuiryuudan no Jutsu( Water Release: Great Water Dragon Jutsu)," The jonin yelled as a larger than normal water dragon shot up and roared. Samui and Naruto widened their eyes, but Naruto still needed more time and Samui would back her little brother up.
"Raiton: Raihogo( Lightning Release: Lighting Protection Barrier)," Samui yelled as she moved her hands in a circle. Immediately a shield of lightning blocked the water dragon, but it wouldn't hold forever. Samui cursed as Naruto finished his long sequence of handsigns.
Katon: Raigaryu Endan( Fire Release: Liger Dragon Bombs)," Naruto yelled as he sent a mixture of fire and lightning at the dragon. Both jutsus collided tearing up the ground between them. Naruto had made this technique a few years ago with Yugito and Bee before the Chunin exams. It amazed everyone that they made something like that and It was considered an A-rank jutsu with only one person, but with all three of them using fuuton, katon, and raiton chakra it would be considered an S-rank jutsu not only for its power, but its chakra exhaustion.
The jonin widened his eyes as he saw his dragon beaten before Naruto's jutsu slammed into his body causing an explosion away from the house making the ground explode. The dust kicked up as Naruto and Samui covered their eyes. Soon all was quiet as they opened their eyes. They saw the man one the ground as he slowly got up.
"Hehe that was close. If I didn't make that guard in time I would've died," the jonin said, but then he felt two pieces of steel to his neck.
"Well that's fine for us since this fight is over," Karui said to him and the jonin chuckled.
"I wouldn't be so sure. You see I'm not just a rogue random rogue shinobi. I'm an ex shinobi of Kiri's Swordsmen of the Mist, but you brats did well. Now then let's get serious," The man in said as he dissolved making Naruto widen his eyes.
"A Mizu Bunshin?" Naruto wondered before he was kicked away from Samui. The blonde cursed before he backflipped only to see the swordsman behind him.
"Too slow," The man said as he slammed Naruto in the back. Samui, Omoi, and Karui cursed as the three clashed with the man, but he was strong and pushed them all back. Meanwhile Naruto got to his feet and huffed. He brushed some blood from his lips and sighed as he went through his handsigns.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto yelled as he slammed the ground. He summoned a new fox that was bigger than the pervious ones. This one was brownish with black stripes over its tail. He yawned and Naruto grinned.
"Hey are you fast?" Naruto asked and the fox nodded.
"Yes Naruto-sama. I'm Fui and I emphasis speed over anything," The fix said and Naruto nodded. He watched his teammates fight the Kiri shinobi before he blonde grinned.
"Run as fast as you can around him. Do it now!" Naruto yelled and the fox nodded. He immediately dashed for the man and while everyone was surprised, he ran in a circle around the man making the ground pick up and a small tornado form. Samui, Karui and Omoi backed away as Naruto went through some more handsigns.
"Sorry, but me and my teammate are going to beat you. We're the last ones standing dattebayo," Naruto said as he finished his handsigns.
"Katon: Kitsuka no Jutsu( Fire Release: Fox Flame Jutsu)," Naruto yelled as he sent the blazing fox fire at the small tornado. The entire thing combusted as it turned into a small flame tornado. Everyone closed their eyes and watched the flames die down as they sighed. They waited for the man to emerge as Fui jumped back and growled.
The man slowly walked towards Naruto and chuckled.
"You...think I can't take...a little heat?" He asked, but everyone narrowed their eyes when they saw him drop down unconscious. Naruto huffed and smiled.
"Turns out there were...only nine of them," Naruto said, but Karui shook her head.
"No there were twelve. Omoi and I took care of the three who followed us. Don't worry the family is safe and so is the house. You guys carried this battle quite a ways away," Karui said and Samui nodded.
"Well it was a success so we should inform our client," Samui said before everyone looked at the Kiri shinobi.
"What about him?" Omoi asked and Naruto gave them all a chakra restriction seal.
"We'll get some reward for him with Kiri so let's do that. If he is a Kiri shinobi then they should pay some good money. Tell me is he in the bingo book?" Naruto asked and Omoi took it out. He skimmed the pages and nodded with a sigh.
"Yeah, but he's only a B-rank missing nin right now, but money is money. We could be broke or Kiri could not pay us, then he'll wake up and kill us all," Omoi said getting a small slap from everyone. Samui placed the chakra seal on him and sighed.
"Come on let's go and take his weapon and seal it. Let's not give him the chance to kill us," Samui said and Omoi took the weapon while Naruto slumped to the ground.
"We'd better get paid for this I swear," Naruto said and everyone nodded. Karui supported Naruto's weight as they walked back to the house.
A few moments later
"Y-You guys did it. How can I thank you other than by paying you?" the noble asked and everyone chuckled.
"How about some rooms and do you mind if I use your basement tomorrow?" Naruto asked and everyone stared at him. The man eagerly nodded as everyone looked at their brother.
"Why do you need his basement?' Karui asked and the blonde chuckled as he leaned up against the wall. He looked up at the ceiling and immediately thought about Kyuubi before looking back at his surrogate siblings.
"I just think that it's time I got to meet someone special to me. I would appreciate it if you all would help me out tomorrow," Naruto told them and everyone nodded that they would. Everyone went to bed after the long day and Naruto rested in his bed while someone patched him up.
"Kyuubi-chan," Naruto called and his vixen answered.
"Yes Naruto-kun?" Kyuubi answered and Naruto smiled.
"I'm getting you out tomorrow. I'd love to see your face in real life dattebayo, but I know that I also need to get stronger. My bodies killing me," Naruto said and Kyuubi chuckled.
"Don't worry you'll be fine tomorrow and I can't wait to see you too. I want my kiss you know," Kyuubi said and Naruto nodded as he yawned. He closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
