Chapter 14-Old Wounds
(A/N: It's been a long time huh? Bet you thought this would be one of those author's notes saying this was goign to be cancelled. HA! Shows what you know! LOL! Seriously though, I know a lot of you are pissed from me not updating sooner, but writer's block is not an easy mountain to climb, and my other fics are fighting for dominance in my head to get written down. So with that said all I have left to say to you is...shut up, read this chapter, and...ENJOY!)
Suna troops with their Kazekage along with Sound Shinobi with Orochimaru looking at Konoha with hatred in their eyes that had been put there for very different reasons. For the Kazekage, it was because he was jealous of Konoha's power, as it made his village look weak in front of his Daimyo, and the spineless Feudal Lord had hated him to begin with as it was. By supporting Konoha instead of Suna, it was considered to be a slap the one slap in the face too far from the Feudal Lord, and the need to surpass the Leaf was needed.
No. Not a need to surpass the Leaf. To crush them!
For Orochimaru, it was different as well, and much more personal in a sense then the Sannin would openly admit. For Orochimaru, who was the prized student prodigy under the Sandaime, it was the Leaf that slapped him in the face, and denied him the chance to use people for his experiments. Sure the morality behind it was horrible, but that was the price one paid for advancing the human race up the evolutionary chain, and it wasn't like the Sannin was making his work become known to the public. Even more insulting was being denied the right to be the Sandaime's successor and was stepped over by the much younger more powerful blonde Namikaze for his victories during the Third Shinobi War.
So Orochimaru did the only thing he could think of that would allow him to achieve his goals and that was to leave Konoha to pursue the destiny that was rightfully his to have.
To have Immortality and all the Jutsus in the world known.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time," said the Kazekage, as he saw the mass of his forces advance quickly to the gates of Konoha with Orochimaru doing the same using the snake summoning ritual to bring forth the multi-headed snake that would help bring down Konoha's forces.
"As have I. Soon Konoha will fall before our combined might that will make Suna strong again and me all the more powerful from the knowledge that is stored within its walls," said Orochimaru, as he had wanted to learn all of Konoha's Jutsus first before going to other villages, but his plans had been found out by the Sandaime, and was forced to flee before he could do that.
Still, now was the chance the Sannin wanted, and when the Kazekage wasn't looking made a mud clone of himself to sneak off to find the Sandaime so he could kill the old man personally!
"I'm going to go on ahead Father. I need to see to it that Temari and Gaara begin the plan uninterrupted," said Kankuro, as he headed towards his siblings, and support them for the upcoming operation.
Soon the Leaf would fall and there wasn't a being outside of Kami himself that could stand in their way.
(Konoha Stadium-At the Moment)
Sound Shinobi, as well as Suna Shinobi that were hidden amongst the crowd disguised as spectators came out of the stands, and were met with Konoha Shinobi their to fight them. This of course set the attackers on the defensive since they had not expected Konoha's forces to act so soon after their appearance since the explosion in the distance was meant to divert them away until it was too late. Of course, had the unit that was in Konoha for this part of the invasion had been well informed by their superiors, which they weren't that Konoha was onto them, then they wouldn't have stuck to the original plan of coming out when the attacks from the walls of the village were heard, and wouldn't have gotten themselves slaughtered.
Sesshomaru, Kurenai, Anko, and Naruto were amongst those that slaughtered them while making their way outside of the stadium to engage the enemy outside the walls of the Leaf. Within moments, the group branched off with Sesshomaru going with his mates to face one section of the invasion force, and Naruto moving off to another with Temari along with Tenten right behind him.
"Are you ready for this you two?" said Naruto, as he wanted to make them realize what they were about to do was really big, and there was no turning back from it now.
"I'm ready," said Tenten brandishing two duel swords, as she saw this was her chance not only to prove women could be competent Shinobi like men, but also to prove herself to Naruto, and was fully ready to end the lives of the invaders if need be.
"So am I," said Temari, as she did silently have misgivings about doing this to her now former village, but her loyalty wasn't to Suna anymore, and it certainly wasn't to her so called Father that was the Kazekage.
Her loyalty was to the Leaf and her future husband Namikaze Naruto.
"That's good to hear Temari-chan because the first wave coming at us are Suna Shinobi and they don't look too happy to see either of us," said Naruto, as he saw no surprise in the Suna forces, and that told the Namikaze these guys were somehow told of Temari's betrayal.
Instantly, the girls moved in front of him attacking the Suna forces with great speed, and velocity that their enemies were sliced to pieces. The next wave came in the form of a group of Sound Shinobi, who were looking to do some horrible things to the girls that were with Naruto, and the Namikaze couldn't have that. Moving in front of them, Naruto unleashed Trickster upon his foes slicing through arms, legs, waists, and heads of his enemies that would try to hurt those precious to him.
"More are on the way!" said Tenten, as she shot out a barrage of kunai that all hit their marks on a swarm of Shinobi that consisted of both Sound, and Suna forces now trying to engage them at the same time.
"Then more must die I'm afraid. 'Elemental Kenjutsu Ice Style: Ice Reaper Jutsu!'" said Naruto, as he made his sword freeze with the tip turning into a scythe, and attacked the invaders like he was the Shinigami himself.
A little over a dozen down...several hundred left to go.
(With Sesshomaru)
The former Demon Lord of the Western Lands clawed through his enemies with ease, as did Anko with her snakes, and Kurenai using Genjutsu on occasion before stabbing a kunai through the invader's skull. Eventually they found themselves facing over two dozen Suna and Sound Shinobi each with various weapons meant to cause lots of pain on anyone they made contact with.
"We don't have time for them. We need to kill that large three headed snake summons before it causes anymore damage," said Kurenai, as the enemy's summons that was no doubt a "gift" from Orochimaru, and to be used to plow through Konoha's forces.
"Wind Scar!" said Inuyasha, who had flanked the large group of Shinobi, and unleashed his power on them before it consumed the enemy into nothingness.
"Inuyasha?!" said Sesshomaru, as he saw his half-brother standing there with Tetsusaiga, with his mate Sango, Kilala, and Shippo right beside him.
"Hey Brother! Thought we'd come by to see these Chuunin Exams, then we get here, I see the place is in the heat of a battle, and decided to help you out," said Inuyasha, as he grinned at Sesshomaru, and saw the older of the two siblings raise an eyebrow slightly.
"Yeah! Besides, I want to meet this Naruto kid, and the fox demon he holds inside of him," said Shippo, who put in his two cents, and would have said more had Anko not scooped him up while pressing him deeply into her bosom.
"KAWAI!" yelled Anko, as she loved how this fox demon was so cute, and fluffy with those innocent eyes that made you want to hug them to death.
'She has to do this now,' thought Kurenai sarcastically, as she saw Anko smothering the fox child, and sweat dropped at the same time.
"Anko-chan, we don't have time for you to smother this little fox demon right now, and we need to focus on the task at hand," said Sesshomaru, as he saw Anko put the now happy fox demon kid on the ground, and pout at him.
"Fine, but can I at least smother you later in bed, and treated to some of your regal loving tonight?" said Anko, as she saw Kurenai, Sango, and Inuyasha blush at her words while Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched.
Before Sesshomaru could respond, which he really didn't want to since he considered such things private, the snake summons was now in front of them ready to strike, and the two demonic brothers looked at each other before nodding. Seeing this, Sango motioned for Kilala along with Shippo to get clear, and the other two women following her before asking her why she was giving the two their space.
"I'm sure you know how Sesshomaru can transform into a large demonic form of his animalistic nature? Well let's just say that Inuyasha can do it too," said Sango, as she had seen the transformed state of her mate, and he looked just like his Father did from what the little flea told her.
Sure enough, the two brothers transformed into their demonic forms that scared the allied enemy invaders shitless, and Konoha Shinobi felt the same way while silently praying to Kami that they were glad the two dog demon brothers were on their side. The giant three headed snake summons didn't stand a chance, as either of the two brothers could kill the vile creature alone, but together it was no contest, and destroyed the summons with ease. Two let out a howl that was filled with bloodlust and the desire to cause their enemies untold pain that would make their foes beg for death before it was all over.
"I am so turned on right now," said Anko, as she saw her man/mate leap over Konoha's walls, and began slaughtering the main army of Sound while Inuyasha attacked Suna's while biting the Kazekage in half.
"Anko!" said Kurenai, as she wanted to scold her friend, and tell her to stop if it wasn't for the fact she was getting turned on by this too.
No doubt it had something to do with the connection made from mating with Sesshomaru and then his mating with Anko that created some sort of link with all three of them.
"I suggest you help your mate and his brother with any that he doesn't get since that will be the case while Kilala helps me with those that have made it deeper into your village. Shippo, I need you to find the Academy here, and protect the students from harm," said Sango, as she saw Shippo give her a salute, and ran off to help out the younger generation from certain doom.
"Are you sure you can handle the enemy Shinobi? These guys are not pushovers," said Kurenai, as she knew that Sango wasn't use to things here, and that could kill the woman if she didn't keep her wits about her.
"Don't worry. I have Kilala with me, as well as fought demons from where I'm from, and I've also been sparring with Inuyasha-kun to keep my skills sharp in order to protect our child back home my little brother is watching for me," said Sango, as she had been when the baby didn't need her attention, and even then the sparring she had done with Inuyasha on some occasions became full blown love making sessions.
Those were the best and Sango was making a mental note to have another one sometime after this was over.
(With Naruto)
Upon seeing his Father and what could only be the Demon Lord's brother attack the main attack force, Naruto turned inward with the others to find the Sandaime since he knew that Orochimaru was looking for the old Kage. However, before he along with the two female Shinobi behind him could find the old Kage, they were stopped by a shocked, and very upset looking Kankuro.
"Temari! What the hell is wrong with you? Where is Gaara? Why are you fighting for the Leaf instead of Suna? Why are you with that Namikaze brat?" said Kankuro, as he had not been told by his Father about Temari's betrayal, and the Suna girl though reluctant to face her brother stood firm.
"I'm with Naruto-kun now Kankuro because I'm going to be his future wife here in the Leaf. He spared Gaara in his match in the Chuunin Exam Finals and I'm not about to see our little brother be used like some psychotic weapon like Father was trying to turn him into," said Temari, as she saw Tenten look at Naruto, and the Namikaze gave her a look that told the weapons girl that he would explain everything.
"YOU'RE WHAT? You joined the Leaf so you could bang this kid and save our monster for a brother? A brother, who would sooner consume you in his sand, and leave no traces of your body to indentify? That so called brother?" said Kankuro, as he saw Temari look back at him with a scowl, and heard a deep growling sound from Naruto.
"Yes you baka! Did it ever occur to you that maybe our so called Father was the one that made Gaara what he is? He gave Gaara a weak seal knowing the demon would drive him psychotic to the point where our little brother would kill anyone around him. How can you support our Father? He used our Mother to help seal Shukaku away in Gaara, just so he could have his new weapon, and then see to it that Suna hated him in order to test out the sand demon's powers out through Gaara. How many assassins came to Suna on the assumption that they would be paid handsomely for killing our little brother, only to be devoured by his sand, and feed the psychotic desires further? What if it had been you he sealed Shukaku into?" said Temari, as she had always hated her Father for that, and heard her Mother's curses against their Father for doing this to her.
"Gaara is what he is and right now it's a demon vessel that is the property of Suna. Our village has suffered because of the Leaf Temari. You know that! Gaara was a means to an end and through that end we could have brought glory back to Suna where it was always meant to be. But you had to sell us out for some Namikaze Heir you no doubt spread your legs for like some street whore and used your new found position to have him spare that monster you want me to call a little brother. WELL I SAY TO HELL WITH YOU!" said Kankuro, as he had seen Suna slowly dying because of the Leaf village's strength, and cared more about his village then he did his so called family.
"Kankuro," said Temari, as she saw her younger brother bringing out his puppets, and prepared them to attack her.
"You have shamed the Subaku name. In order to remove it, I must kill you, and the freak you chose to whore yourself out to for favors," said Kankuro, as the rage in seeing his own sister betray the village was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and had lost his mind in thinking rationally.
If Kankuro had he would have noticed Naruto wasn't in front of him anymore, and would have moved to prevent Trickster from impaling him from back to front while going right through his heart in one single moment. Naruto had heard enough hate filled words come out of Temari's younger brother's mouth, as he had done nothing, but insult Temari in the worst way possible, and could not see the bigger picture like she did. Naruto didn't want to end Kankuro's life, as it would result in making Temari sad, but it was clear to the Namikaze that nearly all of Suna had known of Temari's betrayal with her now dead brother being the last to know, and was no doubt done by the Kazekage to bring out the right amount of insanity into Temari's younger brother.
"Be grateful I made your death painless Kankuro, for if I decided to do the opposite it would make Temari-chan cry harder, and I can't have that," said Naruto before pulling out his blade and then looked at his future wife now looking away.
For a moment, neither of the trio spoke, and they didn't feel the need to since it would be pointless to say anything.
When it was over, the three shared a look that told them to talk later, and they headed out to find Orochimaru before he found the Sandaime.
(With the Sandaime)
The old Kage of Konoha panted, as he had fought Orochimaru with several powerful Jutsus he had in his arsenal before he summoned Enma to transform into a staff, and right now his fight with his former student now going through hand signs with a wicked grin on his face that spelled trouble for the Sandaime. Around them was the Sound Four waiting to perform some kind of Jutsu the old Kage had no doubt they been trained in to the point of being able to perform it in their sleep and Hiruzen didn't like this one bit.
"You seem so nervous Sarutobi-sensei. What's wrong? Feeling old age sneak up on you?" said Orochimaru, as he sensed the one he wanted here for this moment, and just needed to hold out for a few seconds more.
"Perhaps, but then again I haven't used a Jutsu that allows me to switch to another body like some parasite, and extending my natural life for another 3 years," said Hiruzen, as he wondered what was making Orochimaru take his little sweet time, and hold off in using whatever Jutsu he was just itching to use.
"You took the words right out of my mouth old man," said Naruto, as he appeared behind the Hokage with his blade at the ready with Tenten, and Temari ready to fight the Sannin.
"Ah! At last, the guest of honor to this little confrontation has arrived, and not a minute too soon. NOW!" said Orochimaru, as he saw his subordinates go through hand signs before they activated their Jutsu, and created a dark purplish barrier around the group in front of them.
"So you trapped us in a barrier with only you along with us in it. Any particular reason why?" said Naruto, as he saw Tenten holding firm despite the fear that was being hidden within her being, and Temari was doing the same since Orochimaru was not someone they could fight so easily.
"What a rude Namikaze you are boy! And here I thought I could be good for once by reuniting you with your dear sweet Mother and biological Father! 'Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Resurrection!'" said Orochimaru, as he summoned two coffins to rise vertically from the ground, and if he looked up would have seen Naruto tighten his grip on his sword.
"Naruto! Help me cancel the Jutsu before he can complete it," said the Sandaime, as he was preparing to use what strength he had to cancel it, and would have had Naruto not put his free hand on the old man's wrist.
"No," said Naruto, as if it was the simplest answer in the world, and the Sandaime along with the two girls behind him looking at his cold face in surprise.
"What? No? Why Naruto-kun?" said Tenten, as she knew that if the Yondaime himself were to be successfully summoned they would have no chance, and even more so with Kushina back from the dead since she was a former ANBU herself if what Tenten's Father told her about the red haired woman.
"Because I have questions only my biological Father can answer and I want my so called Mother to face my Father to answer for her crimes against me," said Naruto, as he was going to find out if his biological Father even cared that his son was a demon vessel, and to see how the man would react to his Mother's actions right before her death at the hands of their own son.
The Sandaime looked at Naruto with a pleading look, but the Namikaze didn't care about the old man's silent pleas to make it stop, and waited for the two coffins to finish rising before the lids fell to the ground revealing the boy's dead parents. Slowly, the two bodies left their confined spaces, and stared at the group of Leaf Shinobi plus one former Suna Shinobi.
"Sarutobi? Wow, you've gotten pretty old after so many years, and look like Father Time took a bat to your face," said Minato seeing the old man's face looking irked by that little comment before turning to face the boy next to him.
"Hello...Father," said Naruto, as he saw his biological Father look at him with a small smile on his face, but his Mother was a different story, and was clearly not pleased to see him.
"Hello son. How has the village treated you? What about your Mother?" said Minato, as it was clear he was so focused on Naruto now that he didn't see Kushina, and the glare she was sending towards her son.
"Ask her yourself. She's standing just a few feet away from you," said Naruto, as his eyes went to the woman that gave him life, and left him to die alone when he was just born less then a day old.
"Kushina? What happened? How did you die?" said Minato, as he saw his wife looking at Naruto with anger, and then at him for some reason.
"Our...son killed me!" said Kushina, as she had not forgiven the boy for ending her life, and still thought of Naruto as the Kyuubi reincarnated.
"What? Naruto, why did you do that?" said Minato, as he looked over at his son, who was glaring daggers at Kushina, and then looked at him with that same intense glare.
"Because she left me to fend for myself while playing the tragic widow living in the Namikaze Estates. You know where I was? In an Orphanage with the old bat that lived there beating the crap out of me with her cane and barely feeding me at all with what she gave me being rotten. You're dying wish to see me as a hero for containing the Kyuubi couldn't even be fulfilled by the one that gave me life!" said Naruto, as he saw Minato look at him in shock, and then looked at Kushina with eyes sadness.
"Kushina, you know the boy wasn't Kyuubi, and my dying wish was for the boy to be seen as a hero. How could you betray me like that?" said Minato, as he saw Kushina look at him with cold eyes, and then back at Naruto with the same intense glare.
"Betray you? You betrayed me Minato! Turning our son into a demon, leaving me to be a widow while thinking I would even raise this monstrosity, and love him like you wanted everyone else too. As far as I'm concerned, our son died the day you sealed the demon fox into him, and I will never think otherwise," said Kushina, as she gave Minato a glare, and was taken back when he returned it.
"The two were separate from each other. They always were! Who has been taking care of Naruto since your death?" said Minato, as he turned to the Sandaime, who looked guilty when his late successor demanded his question be answered, and was surprised when Naruto answered.
"My surrogate Father. A Demon Lord named Sesshomaru," said Naruto, as he saw his Father's eyes widen, and saw the mixture of emotions running through his old man's eyes currently moving through them 10 miles a second, and it was hard to decipher them all.
"And he's raised you like his own?" said Minato, as he saw Naruto nod, and turned to see Kushina scowl at their son.
"Oh, he raised our son well all right. That damn demon was the one insisted that our son kill me!" said Kushina, as she had not forgotten about that moment, and made the hate in her words known when ever she said "son".
"Considering you tried to kill me when I learned the truth, I think I'm entitled to a little bit of payback, and I enjoyed every single second I saw you tremble in fear of me when I took your miserable life!" said Naruto, as he felt his anger rise at the sight of his Mother in her ANBU uniform, and then saw Orochimaru behind both his biological parents with seal tagged kunai.
"Enough of this blabbering! I showed enough mercy in letting the Yondaime's wife air out the family dirty laundry and it's time for the real pain to begin," said Orochimaru, as he put in one seal tag in Kushina, which seemed to bring back the life in her body, and then went to put the other in Minato.
Only for Minato to have the kanji for Shinigami suddenly appear on his forehead with his body suddenly looking alive before spinning around and socking the Sannin right in the jaw.
"You are an idiot Orochimaru. When I died all those years ago when I fought Kyuubi, my soul became the property of the Shinigami, and I would only be brought back to life by means his command or that of Kami's. However, should someone like yourself try, then the Shinigami will temporarily give me full control, and end the life of the summoner that brought me back," said Minato, who moved forward to take care of Orochimaru, and had brought a Rasengan to his hand.
"Indeed. A miscalculation my part. However, you are forgetting there is another one here I summoned, who is not under the command of the Shinigami, and is under my direct command. Kushina! Protect me from your dear husband while I kill your so called son," said Orochimaru, who saw Kushina respond by getting between the two with her sword out at the ready, and Minato narrowed his eyes at her.
"Something tells me that I would have to fight you regardless if Orochimaru ordered you to or not," said Minato, as he saw his wife draw her sword, and prepare to do battle with him.
"You always knew how to read people when it came to combat, but was a baka when it came to believing in people doing the right thing, and not seeing the truth that was right in front of you," said Kushina, as she attacked him with incredible speed, and was going to remind Minato why she was a former ANBU of Whirlpool.
"I never said I was perfect Kushina. If I was, then I would have lived after the battle with Kyuubi to do the job needed to protect my son that you failed to do, and show just how much I love him," said Minato, as he was able to dodge the sword attacks with ease since the level of power between them was quite significant, and kicked her in the stomach hard enough to send her several feet back.
"You say that now, but I doubt you would speak those words if I had died, and it was you that lived," said Kushina, as she went through hands signs, and shot a Mud Dragon at Minato.
Minato once more dodged before dodging the sword strike that came immediately at him and sliced into his Hokage robes he wore when fighting the Kyuubi. Still holding the Rasengan in his hands, Minato ignored the tearing of his robes, and letting the woman that was once his wife move past him.
"You were considered the strongest ANBU in Whirlpool, but you forget that one ANBU is Genin level when compared to that of a Kage, and I can kill you any time I want," said Minato, as he readied himself to strike, and saw Kushina smiling at him mockingly.
"You won't kill me Minato-kun. I'm your loving wife. For all your skills, we both know that killing me is out of the question, and goes against your morals," said Kushina, as she did not believe Minato would kill her, and was confident she could use that knowledge to her advantage.
Kushina's smile left her however, when Minato suddenly appeared in front of her, and then rammed the Rasengan right into her stomach before the force of it sent Kushina right into the barrier causing her body to be destroyed.
"Then consider this our divorce," said Minato, as he turned around to not look at the ash like remains of his wife, and looked to see Orochimaru fighting the Sandaime along with the others.
(Konoha's Shinobi Academy)
The siege the Shinobi Academy was taking longer then the group of Suna and Sound forces would have liked since the Academy instructors were not pushovers like they had thought. The kids that were still at the Academy had been tucked away under the building under a secret compartment with two other Chuunin to protect them.
"Do you think Boss is okay?" said Moegi, as she heard fighting from where they were, and saw Konohamaru trying to be strong in light of sounds above them.
"Don't worry. Boss is strong and can handle anything around. I bet he's battling his way through them all like nobody else," said Konohamaru, as he tried to assure his female friend that Naruto was all right, and would pull through this battle.
"Yeah! Remember his Father is a Demon Lord and very powerful," said Udon, who tried to keep his sniffles in check, and his allergies from overpowering him in the large room.
"FOX FIRE!" was suddenly yelled out from above and screams of enemy Shinobi were soon heard before several more explosions happened with the following silence soon following shortly after.
"Who was that?" said one of the kids, as they didn't know anyone in the village that could use a Jutsu like that.
"Hey! The bad guys are gone. You kids can come out of hiding now!" said the young voice and the Chuunin in the room with the kids grew suspicious before they began talking amongst themselves while making sure none of the children heard them.
"It could be an enemy trap so go out quietly. If it's a ploy, don't come back here, but if its not, then stamp on the floor three times, and say 'all clear' loudly for me to hear," said one Chuunin, as he saw the other nod, and then head up through the hidden passage with a kunai in hand.
"It's all right! The kid helped us out," said Iruka from above, as he opened the door to the passageway before helping the climbing Chuunin up, and showed him the fox demon sitting on a teacher's desk eating some sweets he kept on hand.
"Hi!" said Shippo, as he continued eating his snacks, and his fox tail swishing every once in a while.
"Iruka, it's a fox demon!" said the Chuunin, as he prepared to defend himself, and the children when Iruka slapped him over the head.
"Baka! This fox demon you are so afraid of just helped take down the enemy when he could have helped them," said Iruka, as he saw the fox give him a smile that he had no doubt would make girls scream like fan-girls, and hug the boy to death.
"But after what happened with the Kyuubi...," said the Chuunin, but was shut up by a glare from Iruka to be quiet considering the kids were coming up now, and looking at Shippo in awe at the little fox.
"Hi everyone! My names Shippo and I've got orders to make sure nothing happens to you during this invasion," said Shippo giving the kids a fox like grin with the boys looking at him in awe, and the girls all ran up to him giving him a super big glomp of a death hug while saying how cute he looked.
(Back with Naruto and the Others)
Despite Naruto being more powerful then most Jounin, the boy while close to matching a Sannin was not quite at that level just yet, and while Orochimaru was breaking a sweat fighting them...he was far from beat. Right now, the Sannin was fighting sword to sword with Naruto, and had to maneuver from time to time to dodge the Sandaime when the two girls by his son's side were fighting the snake.
"You are indeed strong boy. Truly worthy of the last name Namikaze. Join me and I will give you more power then you could possibly imagine!" said Orochimaru, as he really wanted the boy to be corrupted by the Curse Seal he wanted to give, and turn the boy into his loyal subordinate before finding away to neutralize the Kyuubi in order to make him his vessel.
"Go choke on one of your own snakes!" said Naruto, as countered a sword strike from the Sannin, and parried the strike with one of his own that sliced deeply into the arm of Orochimaru.
"Damn you boy!" said Orochimaru, as he shot a swarm of snakes out of his sleeve, but several kunai tipped thrown by Tenten with enough sedatives in them to numb a horse's front leg stopped have of them from reaching Naruto, and the others were sliced to pieces by Temari's wind slicing fan.
"How about you just damn yourself teme!" said Temari, as she was not about to have her future husband be hurt by this snake, and deny her a chance to be happy with someone that wouldn't take her for granted because she was the daughter of the Kazekage.
Orochimaru snarled at her, but before he could attack, the Sandaime struck with his staff, and sent his former student to the side near one of the barrier walls. Looking over to where the Yondaime was, the Sannin could see the red haired ANBU woman had failed miserably in killing her husband, but in a way it was to be expected since the man had been considered the strongest of the Hokage, and had been a hero of the Third Shinobi War.
Perhaps it was time for a tactical retreat.
Before the thought could lengthen further or be give as a vocal order to the Sound Four, two loud crashes could be heard from outside the barrier, and the two Demon Lords of the West in their full demonic state had covered both side of the barrier. Orochimaru mentally cursed his predicament, as he ignored the ever foul mouth Tayuya swear a variety of curses from her corner at seeing the two demons, and the other three around her were definitely frightened too.
How could his perfect plans for victory over the Leaf failed him so? Where the Hell was Kabuto?!
Sesshomaru struck first, as he brought a demonic paw to the barrier, and smashed it too pieces before his brother Inuyasha struck at one of the Sound Four possessing multiple hands by biting into his foe with a sickening crunch of teeth breaking bones with flesh. The one with two heads was about to flee when a giant boomerang of all things came at him that practically obliterated him into a hundred pieces and the biggest one was being mauled by a large Fire Cat Demon.
Tayuya being smarter then the other three, ran the instant the barrier broke into a nearby alley with her flute out should she have to fight, and looked on from where she was to see her so called "Master" about to get the ass end of an ass kicking. Before she could think of anything else however, she noticed that the Namikaze was gone from sight, and then a blow to the back of the head was felt making her vision go dark.
As for Orochimaru, this was the first time since he left Akatsuki after trying to take the Sharingan from Itachi that he felt the sense of fear creep up into him, and was trying to think of some solution to this lethal situation before him. He could summon Manda to assist in his escape, but the snake would be killed before they got to the gate, and even then the Snake Boss Summons would not be so easily persuaded to help him.
What could he do?
Any further thoughts on the matter were ended when Minato appeared behind him and snapped his neck so the last thing Orochimaru saw was Konoha's Yellow Flash looking at him with cold blue eyes just like his son.
With that done, Sesshomaru along with Inuyasha transformed back into their human like forms, and looked at Minato now beginning to decompose while Naruto came carrying Tayuya in his arms. For a moment, Naruto simply looked at his biological Father with expressionless eyes, and then at his surrogate Father wondering just what to do.
"Son I...," said Minato, as he wanted to say something, but he had no words to speak, and felt so much guilt over what happened to Naruto with the kanji for Shinigami fading from his forehead.
"I know you had to do what you had to do...Father," said Naruto, as he looked at the man smile at him, and then turned his head to Sesshomaru seeing the Demon Lord nod his head in understanding.
"I just wished I had left better instructions for the old monkey here or prepared for the backlash of everyone knowing about Kyuubi being inside of you. I'm sorry Naruto for all the pain I caused you and hope you will understand that placing a burden like I did you could only be held by you. As for you Sesshomaru-sama, I thank you for raising my son like he was your own, and I am honored I got to meet you if only for this brief moment," said Minato, as he began to fall apart faster with every second that happened, and saw the Demon Lord nod at his words.
"Farewell Namikaze Minato. Find peace in the Underworld," said Sesshomaru, as he saw the man's body crumple into dust, and blow into the wind leaving nothing there.
"So what happens now?" said Inuyasha, as he looked at his brother, who stay silent for a while, and looked over at his surrogate son holding the red head.
"I think its time dear brother, that I had my own home in the village, and let my surrogate son become the rightful Master of his domain," said Sesshomaru, as he saw Naruto look at him with surprise, and secret joy of having his house all to himself though he was in a way displeased that his surrogate Father was relocating elsewhere within the village.
"Are you serious? Where will you stay?" said Naruto, as he had no idea where the former Demon Lord of the Western Lands would stay, and he had doubts that there were houses outside of clan homes that would be fitting for someone of Sesshomaru's status.
"I've been talking with the Sandaime about this during your time training for the Exam Finals and we decided to transform the Uchiha District into something better," said Sesshomaru, as he saw Naruto's eyes widen, and then looked at the Sandaime to see the old man nod his head in agreement.
"The Uchiha District is in shambles right now ever since the Massacre, as Sasuke has yet to become interested in the female gender for rebuilding his clan, and his Mother Uchiha Mikoto has expressed concerns about him ever doing so. As such, she has willingly give over 80 percent of the property to Sesshomaru, and rebuild it into a Clan Estate much like the Namikaze Clan home is," said the Sandaime, as he knew Sasuke would be angry with that, and so would the two Councils since they had been spoiling the boy silly.
'Sasuke is going to be pissed off,' thought Naruto, Tenten, and Temari since they knew the boy would want the Uchiha District to be left untouched regardless if he stayed there or not.
"After the house is built, I am going to move for Clan status within Konoha, and after doing so have an alliance with the Namikaze Clan," said Sesshomaru, as he saw his surrogate son smirk at that, and was going to accept the alliance without any problem whatsoever.
"That's great! And if you're looking for someone to help you build it, I know just the guy to hire to get the job done," said Naruto, as he knew Wave Country would welcome the chance to make more money by building a large clan home for the former Demon Lord of the Western Lands.
(Konoha-1 Week Later)
With the invasion now over, the two leaders behind it dead, Konoha once more showed it was the strongest village in the Elemental Countries, and began to rebuild from all of the damage the invasion delivered upon them. As expected, Uchiha Sasuke upon learning of what was going to happen to most of the Uchiha District had gone beyond furious, and tried to use the support of the Councils to overthrow such a decision. However, since Uchiha Mikoto was currently Clan Head at the moment (unless Itachi ever tried returned to take control of the clan, which he couldn't for his past crimes against it), the decision fell upon her until Sasuke was old enough to become Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, and that wouldn't be for another few years. For the most part, the Councils had their hands tied in the matter since this fell under "Clan Affairs", and did not have the authority to change the decision made by the last female Uchiha.
There was also the matter of Sasuke's arm being near useless after he so stupidly tried to take Naruto's sword during the Chuunin Exams and even Tsunade found herself being tested in fixing the Uchiha's limb. She didn't want to of course, as Tsunade would have very much preferred to have the boy be useless as a fish trying to swim in the desert, and let him be without a limb to work with. However, the Councils had enough sway in this that the need for the Uchiha to be a functioning part of the village was necessary, and that the experience would humble him.
Though Tsunade felt it did anything, but humble the Uchiha boy, and was quite tempted to "accidentally" screw up a few nerve connections to make the boy useless even with the limb attached.
Inuyasha and Sango stayed around for the next couple days to get to know Naruto while finding the kid had a lot of spunk in him. Shippo took a big shine to him too, as it was not everyday you meet someone that was basically kin, and asked the Namikaze all sorts of questions about Kyuubi. Naruto of course did his best to answer while petting Kilala in her little cat form and told them about his life in Konoha. It made Inuyasha upset at first since it brought back memories of people hating him for when he was a half-demon, but Sango calmed him down, and in return he promised to make her feel special that night.
When it was time to go by the end of the week, Inuyasha, Sango, Kilala, and Shippo bid the boy farewell in his endeavors knowing this was not the last one Naruto would face.
As for Tazuna, he was more then thrilled to help out Naruto in building Sesshomaru's new home after tearing down much of the Uchiha District, and also helping in repairing the Leaf village at the same time. With the death of the Kazekage, as well as Orochimaru, the bounty on each of them alone helped pay for it all, and while Kabuto had gotten away after seeing his chances to save the late Sannin futile...it was put down in the Bingo Book that the boy was indeed a traitor to the Leaf.
For Naruto, he found it very difficult at first to imagine Sesshomaru not in the house with him, and being the loving Father that the Demon Lord had been for the better half of his childhood. With Sesshomaru no longer living at the Namikaze Estate, Anko along with Kurenai soon took their belongings out, and put them in the new home too.
As for the girls in Naruto's life, they all decided to get together to have a little chat since it was clear that while the Namikaze like them all...the territoriality among them was now reaching crisis levels.
(Flashback-2 Days Ago)
"So nearly all of you have done it or something close to that!" said Tenten, as she saw Ino, Haku, Temari, and Hinata in this little circle of people connected to Naruto.
"Yeah. We kind of got it on at the Forest of Death after I saw him and Hinata give the other oral pleasure," said Temari, as she saw Hinata blush at that, and so did the others while Haku got a nosebleed since she loved that part.
"And you went all the way with him? Is he any good?" said Tenten to Haku, as she had been a little peeved that so many "high ranking" women getting their shot with Naruto first, and felt like she had a slim chance until Naruto had told her that it didn't matter to him if she was not from some great clan.
All that mattered to Naruto was that Tenten acted like Tenten.
"Very much," said Haku, as she blushed at the memory of their night together before the invasion, and the tingling sensation to be his again in that manner.
Ino looked like she was ready to explode out of there to go pay a visit to Naruto.
"Naruto-kun has lots of stamina," said Hinata, as she blushed a good shade of red at the memory of her times spent with Naruto, and while it wasn't "all the way" it was certainly enough for the moment.
"Trust me panda girl, one of us is not enough, and someone with his stamina needs to have a lot of women to get him tired," said Temari, as she had moved into the Estates right after the invasion ended along with Sesshomaru moving into his new home, and had "christened" her stay with Naruto with the help of Haku that very night.
"Don't call me panda girl!" said Tenten, as she saw Temari smirk at her, and the desire to throw a kunai at the pig tailed blonde's head was very tempting.
"All we are saying is you need to go see Naruto-kun and ask him if you would like to be a part of his clan. You already know he will say yes and he doesn't care that you aren't in the possession of a bloodline," said Haku, as she had seen the fear that Tenten had in not being able to be with Naruto, and needed those fears put to rest.
"I know, but I'm nervous that's all," said Tenten, as she hated feeling like some silly fan-girl, and wanted to command her body to go up to Naruto before giving him a big kiss right on the lips.
'Speak for yourself,' thought Ino, as she was feeling the warmth between her legs right now, and had to fight the urge to excuse herself should they be suspicious of her leaving.
"So, the big tough panda girl is afraid of getting her cherry popped," said Temari, as she laughed at the now angry Tenten, and dodged a kunai aimed at her skull.
"I thought I told you not to call me panda girl! And as for that part of the relationship, it's none of your business since it's my body, and I'll have do that when I'm ready," said Tenten, as she tried to banish the images of her, and Naruto together in such an intimate manner.
"We're not suggesting you go all the way with him, but rather sit down, talk about stuff, and really get to know him while staying with us at the Namikaze Estate," said Temari, as she had seen Hinata already having her stuff moved into the Namikaze after asking her parents (Hitomi first) for their blessing on the matter, and got it with Hiashi looking a bit reluctant though that was stamped out after a glare from Hitomi since it was clear she was going to enter the stage of a Mother's life where the thought of their children giving them grandchildren filled their minds.
And the eventual grandfather with the preverbal heart attack.
"Yeah you're right. Naruto-kun has been good to me and the kiss he gave at the stadium was so...pure I almost fainted," said Tenten, as she smiled at the memory, and the others all had looks on their faces of such a thing happening to them with Ino wishing she would have her chance to experience it.
(End Flashback)
At the moment, Tenten was currently breathing heavily, calling out Naruto's name every few seconds, and loving the pounding the Namikaze was giving her womanhood from behind. They had been at it for nearly 3 hours now, as Tenten originally came to see the Namikaze Heir for different reasons in terms of talking, and one thing led to another with Naruto kissing Tenten while pressing her against the wall to assert his dominance. Each of them had begun removing articles of clothing until they were both naked, and going at it in one of the bedrooms of the Estate.
"I'm going to cum Ten-chan. I'm going to cum hard!" said Naruto into Tenten's ear, as he pinched one of her breasts with one of his hands while the other stayed on her hip while he thrust into her faster, and was going to release what felt like his fifth load that day.
"Cum in me Naruto-kun! I need to feel your cock filling me again. Please Naruto-kun!" said Tenten, as she couldn't believe the stamina the Namikaze had, and realized just how much Temari along with Haku loved this.
"Of course, my hime of weapons," said Naruto, as he released into Tenten's pussy while knowing she wouldn't get pregnant thanks to the Kyuubi making sure he shot blanks for the moment until the girls were ready to have children, and help him rebuild the clan.
For now they were content with hot passionate sex.
Tenten let out a raspy scream when she climaxed with her Namikaze lover, as she had screamed out so much in such a short time that her throat was reaching its limit, and her own stamina for this was beginning to end. Within moments of their combined orgasm, the two individuals collapsed onto the bed with Naruto maneuvering them both so Tenten had her back to his front, and still connected to him before wrapping the sheet from the bed around their forms.
"So does this mean I'm in?" said Tenten, as it felt weird in a way since she had giving her first time to the Namikaze, and was silently afraid for a moment that he would turn her down before calling her a slut.
However, the kiss Naruto gave Tenten on the lips silenced that fear, and he hugged her body closer to his own.
"You were in before we did this Ten-chan. You're strong, kind, and honorable in ways most people are not. I see similar qualities in Hinata-chan, Haku-chan, and Temari-chan," said Naruto, as he heard Tenten growl a little at Temari's name, and smirked when she did since they never did get to prove who was the better Shinobi.
"What about Ino? I know she's dying to prove herself to you in order to be part of the clan," said Tenten, as she had seen Ino at the little "meeting" that the girls held, and saw how she was feeling the pleasuring "itch" that the others felt when around Naruto that only he could "scratch" for them.
"There is no rush with Ino-chan. She will get her chance to prove herself just like the rest of you did," said Naruto, as he had been informed of the girls meeting by Haku before Tenten came over knowing the weapons girl would head to the Namikaze Estate right away, and was surprised to know that Hana wasn't among the group since he knew Hana liked him though in what way was still in the air.
Now that Naruto thought about it, Hana seemed to be venturing out on more long term missions, and trying to steer clear of him. Could she be...in heat?
"She is an Inuzuka kit. Don't be surprised if some of them take on more deeper parts of their animal counterparts then others," said Kyuubi, who for the first time in a while decided to speak, and make his opinion on this matter known.
"Hey Naruto-kun?" said Tenten, as she looked up at her lover, and saw him look down at her slightly after breaking connection with Kyuubi.
"Yes Ten-chan?" said Naruto, as he wondered what she wanted to ask, and saw think about something before looking back up at him.
"Do you think that I could...move in with you?" said Tenten, as she knew Haku was here, Temari had moved in easily with little to nothing except the clothes on her back with the iron fan, and Hinata had moved with Gai like speed without weights to get her stuff into the Namikaze home.
"Of course Ten-chan. Now it is time to rest, as we will have a big day tomorrow with the announcement of who get promoted to Chuunin," said Naruto, as he gave one of her right breasts a gentle squeeze, and loved how she gasped from his touch.
'Thank Kami. I don't have any strength left,' thought Tenten, as she let herself fall asleep on Naruto's upper body, and mewed every so often when he gave one of her breasts a massage.
Oh yeah, Tenten could get use to this.
(At the Home of the New Inu no Taisho Clan)
Anko and Kurenai sighed contently against their shared mate's upper torso while covered in a healthy layer sweat with the heavy smell of sex on them while the newest girl to join this demonic clan rode Sesshomaru to her third climax that night. Senju Tsunade's own student Shizune had always been a bit shy when it came to a possible relationship with a man, as Tsunade had always been on the run, and having to make sure that no man in the Elemental Countries got so far in asking either woman out on a date. There was too much risk involved with creditors trying to go in disguise to catch up to Tsunade and using her student to do it.
At first, Shizune was terrified of Sesshomaru since he was a Demon Lord, and wielded unimaginable power. Then one day while back in Konoha, the young medic overheard the two women that were Sesshomaru's mates talking, and Kurenai trying to hide the blush when Anko began talking about the dog demon's sexual prowess. Shizune herself was blushing too, as her mind told her to leave, but her body stayed, and the feeling of aching desire creeping up on her. So Shizune stayed hidden to hear Anko go on about how Sesshomaru's stamina in bed needed to be sated more and they needed to find another woman to help keep the Demon Lord satisfied while at the same time liking the big guy regardless of what he was.
By this point, Shizune had finally gotten a hold of her body to find it was highly aroused, and tried to leave before she was discovered by the two. Unfortunately, Anko had sensed, and smelled her being there the whole time in hearing their conversation about the stud of a Demon Lord they were mated to. Shizune soon found herself in an alleyway, pinned to the wall with a sadistically grinning Anko looking at her, and Kurenai watching from the side after putting up a Genjutsu to keep the area around them unnoticeable. After a brief talk with Anko about what she heard, Shizune was then asked by the Snake Mistress if she would be interested in possibly joining the clan, and becoming another mate for their Demon Lord lover. Shizune was nervous of course, but the idea did intrigue her since she thought the man was handsome, honorable, and powerful if taking a super punch from Tsunade didn't harm him in the slightest.
So agreeing to meet with the Demon Lord formally outside of her teacher's eyes, Shizune met with Sesshomaru on several separate occasions, and got to know him better. It wasn't long before Shizune could see what it was that his two mates saw in him and right before the invasion had asked Sesshomaru if he would let her be a part of his clan. Sesshomaru himself had let her in after explaining what it was that tied her to him in terms of being his mate that she would have to undergo.
Hence why Shizune had a mark on her neck from Sesshomaru and came hard while the feeling of his seed filling her up hit her just as hard before collapsing right on the Demon Lord's upper torso completely exhausted.
"Wow!" said Shizune exhausted from all that had happened, as she used what strength she had left in her arms to hold onto Sesshomaru's muscled body, and was tried to catch her breath from all that she had done.
Tsunade would kill her if she found out.
"You said it Shizune-chan!" said Anko grinning her ever mischievous grin while lying on Sesshomaru's shoulder, as she had been holding in her sexual antics for when the new home was finished, and wanted to "christen" the bedroom in a very special fashion.
'Three women of Jounin level and he took us all to such levels of pleasure I didn't think was possible,' thought Kurenai, as she cuddled up closer to her mate, and growled in a sexy manner against his other shoulder.
For the moment, things within the village were better then they had been since the end of the Third Shinobi War, and it was all thanks to one Demon Lord along with his surrogate son.
