Well hello there everyone, its Sunday! And Sunday = new release day, now then, i have a real treat for you guys today, this is, without a doubt, even counting saving old bonds, THE LARGEST CHAPTER THAT I HAVE DONE TO THIS DATE, it is 6000 words "pre author notes" the "past" section alone is over 2000 words :D so i hope that you all enjoy it, now then, for the reviews, i seem to be stuck on only getting six reviews per chapter :/ oh well :P
RairyuuBlade - Thanks for the review, i will say this much, i have NOT decided on the sex of the baby yet, although i am leaning towards boy
ManiMan - Thanks for the review, well, it will be a very long time before Naruto returns home, the trip to night alone takes a few weeks, however it will indeed be interesting to see Naruto's reaction when he returns
xzavx - Thanks for the review, and lol you get the answer in this chapter :), although you do have me slightly confused about the time line, Naruto's time travel from saving old bond could not have affected Naoto in any way, she was conceived BEFORE he was sent to the future
Alex Kingetsu - Thanks for the review, that's an interesting idea, i haven't decided if i can or can't incorporate it into the story "i am talking about the Haku thing" i will see if i can work it in :P if i can' i will credit you with the idea ;)
Slop Doggy - Thanks for the review, those are also interesting ideas, i may or may not use one of them, and just like Alex, i will credit you with the idea if and when i do :)
Kazeshini - thanks for the review, no, ice is not a basic element, but neither is electricity, or sand for that matter, or wood, the four basic elements are, wind, water, earth, and fire, one would assume you get other elements by mixing some of those together, i don't know what you would need to mix to get electricity, but i have a pretty good idea of what you need for ice, and it could be wind and water, the Naruto world is full of elements that are not of the four basic elemental ladder, snow is an other that is seen in the movies, so it not hard to believe that they could do ice as well :)
Well that is everyone, i hope you guys are ready for a long read, because as i said before, i give you Chapter 19, the largest chapter in my Fanfiction history!

Chapter 19
IN THE PAST
It had been a few months since Madara had run away from Konoha, no one had seen or heard from him and Hashirama was hoping that Madara had found a new home and was living his life in peace. However, he was worried about Madara's statement that he would kill the entire Uchiha clan and all of Konoha for protecting them. Konoha had prospered in the short few months and the people in the region accepted the formation of the country and Konoha as its defender, an imperial family was chosen by the people to be the civilian government as the fire feudal fire lord while the Hokage of Konoha would be the military leader of the Fire Nation
Some of the other regions had become jealous of the new found power and prosperity of the Fire Nation and began raiding the villages near the boarders that were defenseless; Konoha responded by beginning to patrol its borders and stopping bandit raids, they also built outposts in key areas
This forced the surrounding regions to begin forming their own villages to compete with the prosperous Konohagakure and the Fire Nation. The village of Iwagakure (Stone) was formed in the new Earth Nation, the village of Kumogakure (cloud) was formed in the new lightning Nation to the north and Sunagakure (sand) was formed in the new Wind Nation to the south. Scouting parties were sent out to find out more about a rumored country that was believed to exist somewhere on islands out at sea, it was even rumored to have been formed years ago. However no one had ever returned from any of the scouting parties
Nami was walking down the street happily, she was carrying bags from shopping for food. She was going to make something special for Masaki tonight, he had been sent all over the nation to defend against raids as his unique speed and power made him a prime choice for the task. While she was the leader of her own team and was sent on various missions around the country. This came at a price of always being away, she had seen him only three times over the course of a few months and they were all only for one night where he would take her out to eat and treat her to anything she wanted. The next morning, he would always have to leave to return to his border patrol. But this time it was going to be different; he was going to be back for an entire week! And Nami wanted to show him how much she missed him and how much she loved him by treating him to his favorite dinner, she grinned knowing that Masaki would be happy with her plan, she was looking forward to being in his arms again
Masaki was nearing the gates of Konoha, he was the team leader of a 3 man team. All chosen to be on his team due to their speed, but even they were not able to keep up with Masaki. The guard at the gate greeted them "Welcome home" He told them with a smile
"Thanks, it's good to be back" Masaki said in return
"Hey, Nami has been running around the village all day, I think she is very excited about your return" The man said with a grin
"Yeah, it's been hard on her, but I will make it up to her" Masaki said as he continued with his team towards the main tower that had been since named the Fire Tower, he had also noticed a small team was on the mountain face carving out something, but he paid little attention to it. He and his team proceeded to the Hokage's office where Hashirama was waiting for them
"Masaki, welcome home" He greeted his friend with a smile
"Thanks, I have been looking forward to this" Masaki answered "As soon as I am done my report, I am going to find Nami, hold her tightly, kiss her and never let go of her for the next week" He said with a smirk
Hashirama began to feel bad as his smile slowly began to slip away "Masaki, I know I promised you a week off, but…" suddenly it was now Masaki's smile that began to vanish "I have sent scouting teams to find out more about the rumored country that is said to rule over the large islands at sea, none of them have returned"
Masaki let out a large sigh "And you want me and my team to find out what happened to them right?"
"I am truly sorry Masaki… I am afraid of sending anyone else and I want to know what happened to them"
"Nami isn't going to be happy with this…"
"I am truly sorry, I will make it up to you I swear, when you return, you will get all the time off you want to make Nami happy, I will even make sure she also gets all the time off she wants as well"
"Thanks, but I doubt it will make her feel better, when do we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning" Hashirama answered
"Well, I better get back home and find a way to tell her I guess" Masaki said sadly as he and his team exit the office. He stopped for a moment to face his team "You guys don't need to come on this mission if you don't want too, I can get others to replace you while you spend time with your friends and families, you guys don't need to suffer the same fate as me" he told them with a faint smile, he knew that both of them were looking forward to returning home to their loved ones as much as he was
Both of them looked at each other and nodded and then looked back at Masaki "No thank you, we can't allow our team leader to run off without us, if you suffer sir, so do we!" One of them spoke up
"That's right, plus, who do you think Nami would take her anger out on if anything were to happen to you?" He said with a grin
Masaki didn't know what to say "Thanks guys... Well I guess we meet up at the gate tomorrow morning. Until then, go home and enjoy yourselves"
"Yes sir!" Both of them said in unison as the three of them parted ways
Masaki was heading home, trying to figure out how he would break the news to Nami, but he swore he would make it up to her, he just had to… He approached his house that had been named the Namikaze Estate, and since Nami had renounced her leadership role from her own clan she had decided to move in with Masaki, who was more than happy to have her. He walked up to the door and waited a few minutes before getting the courage to enter, once he stepped into the house he was met with the smell of ramen coming from the kitchen, was Nami cooking for him?! It smelled great, suddenly Nami walked out from the kitchen wearing a new outfit
"Masaki, your home!" She screamed out as she ran and launched herself at him causing him to fall back against the door that was shut behind him. She had wrapped her arms around his body and even her legs around his waist as she kissed him passionately and held him tightly, their lips finally parted "I have missed you so much Masaki, I made you your favorite! I hope I didn't screw it up… But I am so happy that you are home, and this week is going to be the best week ever!" She said with a bright smile
Masaki's heart was breaking inside, how could he tell her he was leaving tomorrow morning again? How could he make her sad? Damn that mission, however he knew that it had to be done. Those missing Ninjas also had families and loved ones and they needed to know what happened to them. He could only imagine how Nami would feel if he went missing and no one knew what happened to him "Well it smells great Nami" he said as he hugged her back, she was too happy right now for him to tell her, he would do it latter…
"Well, you are going to have to carry me to the kitchen because I decided that I am not going to let go of you for the next five minutes" she said with a grin and a wink as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kept her legs around his waist and laid her head against his chest
Masaki laughed slightly "It's a good thing you're so light" He said with a grin as he wrap his arms around her, he pushed himself away from the door. It took him a few seconds to find a center of balance as Nami laughed, enjoying herself. She was so happy right now, she didn't want this to ever end. Masaki was able to somehow make it to the kitchen without falling "You know, in order to eat, you're going to have to let go" Masaki said with a smile
"Says who? That sounds like a you problem" she said with a giggle " Maybe you're going to have to figure out a way to eat like this" Nami said playfully
Masaki walked next to the counter and sat her down on it, but she was refusing to let go as she giggled, Masaki grinned "Nami, you are being a naughty girl" he said as he grabbed her arms and forced them away from his neck. However she still had her legs tightly around his waist, he laid her down on the counter pinning her arms down. She was laughing, causing him to smile at her, she was so beautiful, her bright smile and love of life along with her beautiful green eyes, he kissed her passionately making sure to keep her arms pinned down, he continued to kiss her for what felt like forever, he finally stopped and stared into her eyes. They were full of life as she stared back into his "You know, the ramen is going to get cold" He said with a smirk
"Oh alright, I guess you do deserve to eat" She said with a smirk of her own "However, after dinner, you are all mine" She said with a wink as she finally let go of his waist
"I accept your terms, and I guess there are worst fates" He said returning her wink. He sat down at the table as Nami got him a bowl of ramen and set it down in front of him and then sat down next to him with her own, the ramen smelled great as Masaki broke his chopsticks apart and began eating. Nami stared at him, waiting to know if she had done a good job "This is great Nami! It's even better then the restaurants" He said as he continued to eat
Nami smiled, she had succeeded, and her food was eatable! Since it was the first time she cooked for anyone other than herself, she began eating as well
It wasn't long until both of them were full, Masaki helped Nami clean up. Once they were done Nami grabbed Masaki's arm "Remember our deal? Your mine now" She said with a grin as she pulled him towards the bedroom. Masaki didn't really fight her, after all she was right, he had agreed that he would be hers after they were done eating and who wouldn't want to be at the mercy of someone as cute and beautiful as Nami. Once inside she slammed the door shut behind them and pushed him on the bed and jumped on him
She kissed him just as passionately as she had done when he first set foot in the house while he kissed her back, she began to unzip his vest "Masaki, I love you" She said as she continued to kiss him and removed his black vest
"I love you too Nami" Masaki answered once he had a chance
The next morning, Masaki woke up before Nami. She was sleeping peacefully nudged up against him, he slowly inched himself away from her. her arms began to search for him, he was afraid that she would wake up so he quickly put a pillow in his place and she wrapped her arms around it and smiled as she continued to sleep, Masaki let out a sigh of relief. He began to pick up both his and her clothing from the ground, he folded hers neatly and put them on the desk while he took his own and brought them to the bathroom so he could take a quick shower, once he was done he quickly got dressed and took out a scroll and began writing on it
"My sweet Nami, I don't know how to tell you this but Hokage Sama had no choice but to send me away on an important mission. I have to head towards unknown islands and find out what happened to our scouting parties, they just disappeared without a trace and Hokage Sama is fearing the worst. It is my mission to find out what happened to them, I know that you were looking forward to this week, so was I. I am so sorry that I have to leave so soon but I cannot refuse this mission. We are afraid that if we send anyone else that they would also disappear, Hokage Sama is confident in my skills and that i will come back home safely, Nami, I love you with all my heart and I will return as soon as I can. And I swear that I will make it up to you
Love, Masaki
Masaki felt horrible that he was leaving her a letter rather than telling her himself, but he had a feeling that she wouldn't just allow him to leave if he told her. This was the best choice. She would probably make him pay for it when he returned, but it's something he would happily deal with once he returns. He slowly and quietly walked back to the bedroom and stared at her for a few seconds, her body was so beautiful and flawless. He set the scroll down on her night stand, and suddenly he heard something "Masaki?"
He instantly froze, had she woken up?! Had he been caught?! Was she going to allow him to leave?! He looked at her, but her eyes were still shut, was she really awake? He decided to respond to see what would happen "Yes?"
"If you're going out, we need milk" she answered back
Was she sleep talking? She was clearly not awake, but he thought It would be best to answer, in case not answering would cause her to wake up "Sure thing" He simply answered
"Thanks" she said as she continued to hug the pillow tightly
He smiled at her and bent down, he kissed her very gently on her cheek and whispered in her ear "I love you"
"I love you too…" She answered back
Masaki left the house, the sun was only beginning to rise in the distance, very few people were up as store owners were cleaning the entrance to their shops and getting their goods ready. Masaki entered a clothing shop, the clerk greeted him "Ah Masaki Sama, I was expecting you, however not this early" The man began speaking
"Yeah, sorry for coming at this hour of the morning, but I will be leaving on another mission as soon as I leave your shop, and was wondering if my order was done yet"
"Yes, it's done, I did everything you asked" The man said with a grin as he opened a box and took out a cloak, it was completely white along with black flames at the bottom and other various black detailing. Up until now Masaki was still wearing his captains cloak from the night country that stated his command of the tenth division, but Masaki felt it was now time to replace it and had a custom cloak made. The black and white was to honor his home countries heritage, and the flames would represent his new allegiance to the Fire Nation
"It's perfect!" Masaki said as he tried it on "You have done a great job" He said as he tossed a small bag full of coins to the clerk
"It was my pleasure Masaki Sama, I am happy to have been able to help you" He said with a smile
Once Masaki was done checking himself out in the mirror, he left the shop and headed towards the gate, his team members were already waiting
"Nice cloak" One of them said
"Yeah, thanks, let's go"
All three men walked out of the village
PRESENT TIME
Akio still wasn't sure about the new comer, but one thing was for sure, he couldn't defeat them alone, he decided that the only thing he could do was trust him, at least for now
"Who the hell is that?" One of the enemy ANBU shouted out surprised by the new comers attack
Akio attacked while they were confused and killed two of them instantly with his skilful use of his weapon. The rest of them were able to regroup and tried to counter attack Akio, one of them took out a Katana and attacked him, Akio blocked it with his staff. The ANBU was surprised as he thought it was made of wood, but it didn't take any damage as Akio kicked the man in the ribs and stabbed him with one of the ends of the staff, the ANBU with the red eye had taken out five ninja's on his own with ease causing Akio to be in awe of his power
The remaining enemy ANBU began to retreat, this new comer was too much for them, they would need to regroup and reorganize before they could take Naoto back
Akio turned his attention to the ANBU who had come to his aid, still unsure of his intentions "Who are you!?" He demanded from him
"A friend... Where is Naoto?" he asked
"Naoto?" Akio asked back
"Yes, Namikaze Naoto, daughter of the 6th Hokage, you have her, don't you?" The man asked with a serious tone
Akio got into a defensive position "So you're after her as well! I won't allow any harm to come to her you traitors!"
"Traitor? I think you have the wrong idea here, I am not here to take her away. I am here to protect her, we are on the same side here" The man calmly said
"How can I trust you?! I was just chased down by an entire squad of ANBU, and even though you came to help how do I know you're not just trying to gain my trust"
"Because… Hokage Sama and Lady Sakura are people who are very dear to me… And I cannot allow Naoto to fall into the hands of ROOTS"
"ROOTS?" Akio said confused "Never heard of them"
"Not surprising, ROOTS is supposed to find threats to Konoha and deal with them… However, the ROOTS leader is obsessed with gaining power, although I cannot be sure of it yet. I believe he is trying to overthrow Naruto Sama as Hokage and become the 7th Hokage
"Where is Hokage Sama?" Akio asked
"He is away; he isn't even in the country… He had to go on a secret mission; ROOTS took that opportunity to strike"
Akio didn't know how much of that story was true, but he did know that if he wanted too, that man could easily kill him and take Naoto by force. However it seemed that he had no hostile intentions and Akio could not detect deceit in his voice "Rei is the one who has Naoto, and she is in that ball of ice. I don't know where it came from" Akio said as they walked towards the large orb of ice "They were trying to melt it before you arrived, it seemed to be working"
The ANBU put his hand on the ice orb "No amount of fire or heat would melt this" He answered
"But it looked like it was melting…" Akio said confused
The man began to make hand signs and a large fireball came from the mouth of his ANBU mask. As Akio said, it looked like it was melting as water began to run down the orb but when he stopped, the orb itself didn't even have a scratch on it "The ice is so perfectly created and strong that it's almost like diamond. The water you think is the ice melting is actually the heat causing condensation on the ice, this is a perfect defense barrier, much like the Kazekage's sand barrier"
"Then there is no way to get to them? And who put it up?!" Akio asked worried
"I don't know who put it up, as for the getting to them, although they are called perfect defenses, nothing is impenetrable. You just need to find its weakness, just like how the Kazekage's sand barrier was penetrated… In this case, there is a lot of chakra that is running through the sphere, if we disrupt the chakra flow the barrier should fail" but before he could do anything, he was forced to dodge an attack that came out of nowhere, Akio quickly grabbed his staff again and was ready to defend both himself and his loved one. He could see from one of the tree branches a figure standing, he could clearly see two red eyes and they had the same three comas as the masked ANBU that was helping him. He looked back at the man and finally noticed that he only had one red eye
"So, you are the two spies who kidnapped the Hokage's daughter? I will make you PAY for your crimes!"
"Kidnapped? What the hell is he talking about!" Akio thought to himself "Wait, you have it wrong, we did not…" But the man ignored him as he took out a blade that was strapped on his back and jumped down and got ready to attack
"What have you done with Naoto? If you have harmed her, I will make sure that your death is as long and as painful as it can possibly be and trust me, I can carry out that threat…"
"Sasuke! Calm down, it's me…" The masked ANBU said as he removed his ANBU mask, revealing another mask; however you could now clearly see his eyes
Akio recognized him as the famous Konoha copy ninja Hatake Kakashi, and did he just say Sasuke? The best friend of the Hokage who had once betrayed the village but was brought back and finally swore to fight for Konoha once again; these were two of the most elite Ninja's in all of Konoha
"Kakashi? What the hell are you doing here...? More importantly, where is Naoto?"
"Don't worry, she is safe. Ho back to the village and inform the council that Danzo may be trying to take the village, his ROOTS forces just tried to take Naoto, had I not arrived in time she might be in his hands right now"
"Was what Danzo told me a lie? Were there ever spies? Regardless... Even if I could trust Naoto in Kakashi's care, my orders are to bring her back no matter what..." And he was unable to ignore that order "Sorry Kakashi, Naoto is coming with me... So just hand her over, Naruto left her in my care anyway"
Kakashi was surprised "Sasuke, did you hear me? Danzo might be making a move against Naruto..."
But Sasuke ignored him and began walking towards them raising his blade "I am going to ask one more time, hand over Naoto, Kakashi, as my former sensei I do not wish to fight you. However I will if you refuse to give me Naoto and we both know that I have far surpassed you. The only one who can match me and hope to defeat me is Naruto" Sasuke said, not really wanting to fight Kakashi, he had a lot of respect for the older Junin but if he were to back down now the seal could activate for defying orders
"Sasuke... Don't tell me, you are with ROOTS...?" Kakashi asked worried that the answer could be yes, Sasuke however didn't answer and simply attacked Kakashi with lighting speed, Kakashi was able to par the attack just in time "Get out of here now!" Kakashi said to Akio
"No, I can't just leave Rei here alone"
"I don't know if I can win this, and if I can't there is no way you can defeat Sasuke. Run to the Sand, tell Gaara that ROOTS is trying to take over Konoha and that Naruto is away and won't be back for a few weeks, GO NOW!" Akio suddenly began to realize how it must had felt for Rei when he told her to leave him behind, but Kakashi was right. Sasuke was too much for him and he would probably get in Kakashi's way if he tried to help "If I somehow win this, I will bring Rei and Naoto to the sand as well, now go!" Akio took one last look at the ice sphere before he took off. Sasuke never took his eyes off of Kakashi who was confused as to why he was just allowing Akio to take off without even attempting to stop him "Why aren't you even going to try to stop him? Wouldn't it be a bad thing for ROOTS if the sand got involved?" Kakashi asked
"Truth be told...I hope he does get to the sand... My orders are to bring Naoto back, there was nothing about stopping some Ninja named Akio from going to the sand" Sasuke said with a small grin, it was little but it was the only thing he could do for Konoha right now
"So, you are not helping Danzo of your own free will huh? Did he force you? Did he put the seal on you?"
"I am sorry but, you should know that I cannot answer any of those questions" Sasuke answered, knowing that Kakashi would get his answers with that response
"I see, so he did put the seal on you..."
"Now do you understand why I MUST take Naoto?"
"Yeah...But I will still try to stop you Sasuke, if Naoto falls into Danzo's hands who knows what he will do to her, what he will force her to do... If he controls the power of the Namikaze, who knows how much damage he could do. He could also abuse her by using her to breed and creating more Namikazes for his own selfish plans, Sasuke, I will NOT allow you to take her"
"Good, however, I cannot go easy on you just because I agree with you, if I don't fight with everything I have the seal will activate, so Kakashi, don't let your guard down, not even for a second..."
"Yeah... I know"
Meanwhile out at sea, Naruto had told the entire crew about Sakura's pregnancy, everyone congratulated Sakura and Naruto. they held a small party to celebrate, everyone was enjoying themselves. Shizune approached Sakura with a large grin "So, I though you wanted more time, I even went through the trouble of making a cover story for you" She said with a grin, not really upset about anything but wanted to tease Sakura
"Yeah, sorry Shizune, I really didn't expect to tell him so soon... But... He had to go and give me a perfect romantic night and I just couldn't keep it in anymore..." Sakura said embarrassed
"Well, I am happy that you told him, you really should never hide that kind of information from him. Just look how happy he is right now" Shizune said as she pointed at Naruto who was dancing with Yuki "You're so lucky to have someone like him, so many girls go around looking for sweet caring guys who would love them just like him and end up never finding that perfect guy. You had him all along from day one and he had eyes only for you" Shizune said with a kind smile
"Yeah... I know, and I also know that I don't deserve him. Not after how I treated him, I didn't even know who he was and I hated him only because everyone else did. I didn't even know why he was hated, things didn't get any better once we were assigned to the same team... They actually got worst, it's not until he left for his three year training that I began to realize that I had feelings for him. When I saw him leave and I knew that he would be gone for three years, It broke my heart and then on the day he came back... he was so handsome! Nothing like the little boy who had left for training. He had also gotten smarter... I only wish he wouldn't have come up with that stupid new perverted move of his" she said with a slight giggle, remembering how she beat him up after only ten minutes of his return home
"Yeah but I guess you could say, it's part of his charm" Shizune said with a smile
"Yeah, there is a part of him that is still a kid and I believe that even in 20 years from now, that part will still not have grown up, but that's alright"
"Well, Lady Tsunade had always said that her two kids would end up together" Shizune said with a grin
"Kids?" Sakura asked, although she had an idea of what she meant
"She considered Naruto to be like a son to her, and you like a daughter. And she was always saying how the two of you were perfect for each other, she had also said that she was willing to bet money on it. Although I told her not to since everything she bets on ended up losing. She laughed and agreed" Both girls shared a giggle as they remembered there former master. Sakura was the only person that Shizune could share that bond with since Tsunade only had 2 apprentices
The next morning Hiyori had gotten up bright and early. She had decided that now was the time to talk to her team and to begin trying to redeem herself in their eyes. She had to do it before they reached the night country. She entered Hamako's room, she was still ordered by Sakura to stay in bed for the next day or two even though her bones had been mended they would still need time to recover. The rest of the team also shared the same room, Kanji saw Hiyori walk in and got straight to his feet, Jun did the same "How can we help you Ma'am" Jun asked nervously
"Guys... I came to say that I am sorry, especially to you Hamako. I broke one of the rules of being a Sensei and that was to hurt my own students. Even if it was an accident that happened in the heat of the moment it doesn't make it an excuse... So I know it's going to be tough to regain your trust but I hope that you all give me a chance..."
Kanji whispered to Jun "Its got to be a trick, she is evil, how could she say that putting Hamako in a submission until she cried out of pain from her bones breaking before she would let go of her an accident?"
Jun nodded, he didn't trust anything that Hiyori was saying right now, but she was still the team leader and they would still need to obey her "Yes ma'am, we will work hard to make sure our training does not fall behind again ma'am, we will no longer make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. From now on we will obey every order you give us" Jun said in an almost militaristic way
This caused Hiyori to feel hurt, but she knew she deserved it. It would take more than a simple apology to make up for what she did "Once Hamako is healed up, we will continue our training..." Hiyori quickly walked out of the room, mainly because she could no longer fight back the tears. She shut the door behind her and began to cry "some team leader I am... Can't even stop myself from crying" She said as she wiped away some of the tears from her face, she took a few deep breaths and walked away
Most of the crew had been assembled to the bridge by request of Toshiro. Everyone was waiting and wondering what was going on. Toshiro finally appeared, however to everyone's surprise, his hair was now almost as black as Sasuke's and he was now wearing the night ninja uniform "What's with the hair Toshiro?" Naruto asked
"As a former division captain, I was well known throughout the entire country. My hair color was also very rare, kind of how Sakura's is rare to your country"
"Yeah, pink is kind of rare Sakura, how did that happen anyway?" Ino said teasingly
"Shut up Ino... Do I need to remind you of Naruto?" Ino's nose suddenly began bleeding again as Sakura grinned "Yeah, I thought so..."
"...The point is, I would probably get recognize fairly quickly. So I changed my hair color, you will all need to start wearing these clothing. Train in them, get use to them, because this is all that you will be wearing while we are in the night country. You will all give me your other clothing and I will stash them away in a secret hidden compartment that I had specially built just for them, that includes your headbands and any family cress or anything that can lead to Konoha as well. As of right now, you are all Night Ninja's" everyone nodded as they picked up there Night ninja uniforms "One last thing, Naruto... and I mean no disrespect by not calling you by your title, we must ALL get use to not calling him Hokage Sama or Lord Hokage or anything like that, from now on we must not call him by that title"
"Understood" Naruto said with a smile "It's going to be nice being called by my actual name again"
"And that brings me to our next point... Your name, you have to change your family name"
"What ? Why?" Naruto asked confused
"Because, the Namikazes are a very powerful clan, they are part of the founders of our country and although they are not the biggest, they are among the most well known. So if you go around calling yourself Namikaze Naruto..."
"Yeah, I get it now...No problem, I guess I can use a name I haven't used in a while. Everyone from now on, you shall refer to me as Uzumaki Naruto" he said with a grin, that old name brought back a lot of memories for him as it was the name he used for the first 18-19 years of his life. It had only been a year since he began using the name Namikaze
"Does that make me Uzumaki Sakura?" She said with a wink
"Well that, or your maiden name" Naruto answered
"Nah, I think I like Uzumaki Sakura better" She said as she held his hand, causing Naruto to grin
"Alright then, I guess that's everything, now go and get changed and don't forget to give me EVERYTHING that is native to Konoha, we cannot afford any screw ups" Toshiro said seriously
"Understood" everyone answered as they all left one by one to get changed. There were only four uniforms left, they belonged to Hiyori and her team. Toshiro would bring it to them himself and explain everything to them. He knew that they had a good reason for not being at the meeting
End Chapter 19
For those of you who were hoping for some lemon with Nami and Masaki, sorry :P I don't do lemons lol, 1, i am affraid that it would ruin the story, 2, i am affraid that i would suck so bad at lemons that i would ruin my reputation :P lol anyway i hope you all enjoyed it, it seems that Sasuke is trying to find loop holes in Danzo's seal, will Hiyori's team ever forgive her? will Ino ever stop getting nose bleeds every time she see's Naruto? does black hair suite Toshiro? and what will be more dangrous for Masaki, his upcoming mission? Or facing Nami once he returns
Well i had loads of fun, Read, Rave, Review
