Hey everyone, welcome back for another chapter of Naruto: Wielder of the Rinnegan. I was planning on this chapter being out a bit earlier but I got side tracked with Destiny and have been playing a lot of I lately and add on the fact I have been in and out of the hospital for a week now doesn't help either. Anyways I hope you all enjoy the chapter.
Hiruzen sat at his desk thinking over the information that Jiraiya had just told him. His ex-student had his own village under his control and had talked Suna into joining him and invading the village. He knew his ninja were strong and could handle themselves. However, going against two villages alone, he was unsure of how much of a chance his village actually stood.
"So what are you going to do sensei? We have no idea what Orochimaru is after with this invasion." Jiraiya said.
"We will have the chunin exams like planned and tighten security around the village. We will just have to try and figure out what his plans are before he can execute them. Go and see if you can gather any more information and report back as soon as you can." Hiruzen stated getting a nod from Jiraiya before the sannin disappeared.
The hokage sat thinking on what his possibilities were when an idea popped into his head. He was unsure if it would work or not but he had to try. He bit his thumb and made a quick set of hand signs before placing his hand on the ground. "Summoning jutsu." In a poof of smoke, his personal summon, the monkey king Enma stood before him.
"Hello Hiruzen, I sense no battles around so what did you summon me for?" asked the large monkey.
"I need a favor Enma. Orochimaru is planning on invading the village during the upcoming chunin exams and I need you to do something for me." Hiruzen said.
"You should have killed him that night Hiruzen, it would have saved you all this trouble. What is it you need from me?"
"Go and talk to Katsuyu and see if she can take you to Tsunade. I think it is time I retired once again and Tsunade is the best choice I can think of. Even if she declines, the village could still use her help with the invasion." Hiruzen said getting a nod from the monkey before her vanished in another poof of smoke.

Yugakure, the village hidden in hot water. On the outskirts of this village, there is a small traditional Japanese style home. In the back yard of this house is a blond haired woman with waist length hair and brown eyes. In the middle of her forehead was a small blue diamond, this was Tsunade Senju. She was out walking around some flowers in her yard when she felt the familiar chakra of her slug summon and another chakra signature that she knew but couldn't quite place.
"Tsunade-sama, someone is here to see you." Spoke Katsuyu.
Tsunade turned around to see her slug and a large white furred money. After seeing the monkey, she immediately remembered the chakra. "Enma, it is good to see you again."
"You too Tsunade, it seems you are doing well for yourself." Enma said as he looked around the property.
"Actually, this is all thanks to my husband." Tsunade said.
Enma's head immediately snapped back in her direction and as he looked at her, he noticed a small silver ring on her left ring finger. "You got married. Someone must have some balls to marry you." Enma said not noticing the look on Tsunade's face.
"Enma, I think you just messed up." Katsuyu said. Enma looked back in her direction, but before anything else was said, Enma felt Tsunade's fist impact with his gut as he was sent flying over the house.
Enma landed with a loud thud in front of two other females. He slowly stood up and looked at the two women. One looked to be in her mid-twenties and had black hair and eyes. In one arm she was holding onto a small pig while the other was being held by the smaller girl. The small girl looked to be around five or six, had brown eyes, and pale white hair that reached her mid back. She looked like a smaller version of Tsunade to Enma.
"Come back here you damn ape, I ain't finished with you yet." Tsunade started but stopped when she saw the other two females.
"Kaa-chan!" the little girl yelled as she ran up to Tsunade.
"Hello Mito-chan, did you and Shizune have fun today?" Tsunade asked.
"Yep, Shizune-oba-chan even bought me ice-cream." The now named Mito replied.
"Tsunade-sama, what is the hokage's personal summons doing here?" Shizune asked.
"I don't know but he better start talking." Tsunade replied.
"I'll just let him explain." Enma said before he was surrounded by smoke. Out of the smoke walked Hiruzen until he saw the three girls in front of him.
"It seems Enma did find you after all. If it isn't too much trouble Tsunade, I need to speak with you." Hiruzen said.
"Mito-chan, go with Shizune and play inside for a little bit."
"But I want to spend time with you kaa-chan." Mito replied.
"I know Mito-chan, but right now I need to talk with sensei. Your tou-san will be home in a little bit and then the three of us will spend some time together." Tsunade explained to her daughter. Mito nodded in response and left with Shizune. Tsunade turned to lead Hiruzen around back and motioned for him to follow.
"You seem to be doing good Tsunade. It seems you finally decided to find someone and settle down with too. You know, little Mito-chan looks a lot like you but she's got the same air color of another of my students." Hiruzen said with a smile as he sat down with Tsunade.
"We're all happy here sensei. Mito-chan is already studying medical ninjutsu with Shizune and I and Jiraiya-kun is gonna start her own training in the next year or so." Tsunade replied.
"So you and Jiraiya settled down together huh? How did that happen?"
"We ran into each other in a small gambling town one day a few years back. At the time Shizune had gotten hurt really bad and with my homophobia I couldn't help her. Jiraiya helped me get over it quickly and after that, one thing led to another and then we got married and settled down. Mito-chan came along six years ago and we couldn't be happier. So what are you needing sensei?" Tsunade asked curious as to why the hokage was here.
"Jiraiya informed me that Konoha is going to be invaded during the upcoming chunin exams by Suna and Oto. The invasion is going to be led by Orochimaru. I am strong for being as old as I am but I'm not sure if I will be able to survive this invasion Tsunade. I would like you to consider returning to Konoha and becoming the godaime hokage." Hiruzen explained.
Tsunade sat there for a few minutes thinking it over quietly to herself. After a few minutes of silence, she looked at Hiruzen and spoke. "I can't give you an answer just yet sensei. After Dan and Nawaki died I vowed to never return. With having my family here now, I'm not sure I want to return to Konoha at all." Tsunade said.
"That is understandable Tsunade. I'm not trying to force you to return or anything but there is one family member you still have in Konoha. I know that the Senju and Uzumaki are distant relatives and Minato and Kushina's boy and Jiraiya's godson, Naruto is still there. Even if you decide not to become the hokage, stop by and visit sometime." Hiruzen replied.
"I'll talk to Jiraiya once he gets back and I'll give you an answer by Friday. That's all I can do for now sensei."
"That's fine Tsunade. The chunin exams also start Friday so this will give me time to get everything going before I receive your answer. Goodbye Tsunade." Hiruzen said before he vanished as Enma reversed summoned him back to Konoha.
(A day later)
Teams eight and ten were on the back of a large ice blue dragons. It was a four legged dragon with white wings, a long tail, two horns on its head and gold eyes. The two teams had left Wave country close to five hours ago and was already about ten minutes from Konoha. After flying for a few more minutes, the dragon began to descend and landed in front of the two gate guards as they stared in awe at the large beauty.
After the two teams got off the dragon's back, the dragon began to shrink and turned a deep crimson in color. The dragon was now smaller than Naruto's arm and curled itself around his neck before lying down. "Thank you for the ride Niji-chan." Naruto said. (Pretty sure Niji means rainbow in Japanese.)
"It's now problem Naruto-kun." Niji replied before falling asleep.
"How come you didn't bring team seven along Naruto?" Chouji asked.
"For one, I don't like team seven. For two, Niji doesn't like team seven and I won't force her to carry anybody she doesn't like." Naruto replied as they continued on in silence.
As the two teams continued their walk to the hokage-tower, Ino spoke up breaking the silence. "What kind of dragon is Niji Naruto? I noticed she changed the color of her scales a few times." Ino asked.
"She is my personal summons and is considered a very special dragon within the dragon clan. Once every five hundred years, a dragon is born with the ability to use each of the five main elements and if they train hard enough can even use some of the other elements like the ice release or lava release. Niji is the dragon that was born with that power this time around. When I signed the summoning contract, the first dragon that I summoned was Niji and she vowed to be my personal summon. I have a sealing tattoo on my arm that I can use to summon her if I only need her at the time. The reason her scales change colors is because of the fact she can use different elements." Naruto explained as the group walked into the hokage's office.
The group of seven ninja stood before the hokage and bowed to their leader. "Mission complete Hokage-sama. The bridge is finished and Gato is dead. Team seven should return within the next day or two since Naruto's summon didn't bring them with us. We ran into two missing nin from Kiri and a hunter nin that was working with them." Kurenai spoke with a small smirk gracing her lips.
"Very well. You and your teams shall receive A-rank pay for this mission. Kurenai, Asuma, Naruto please stay. The rest of you are dismissed." Hiruzen said and waited for the others to leave before speaking. "What about the rest of the mission?" asked Hiruzen.
"Kakashi seemed to train the three genin equally but that may be because we were there. Naruto and Sasuke had a spar and Naruto put the Uchiha in his place. There was something that happened during the fight between us and the missing nin but I'm not a hundred percent sure what." Asuma replied.
Hiruzen nodded before looking at Naruto. "Did you reveal your bloodline? And do you know what happened?"
"My team and team ten know about and promised not to tell anyone. I did end up using my sharingan but I don't think the Uchiha or Hatake saw it. According to what Kurama knows of the sharingan, I unlocked the next stage of the sharingan called the mangekyo sharingan. But because of the fox's chakra, it was morphed into the eternal mangekyo sharingan without needing another set of sharingan to transplant. When I unlocked the mangekyo, I gained the ability to use the susanoo so I was behind it so I don't know if they saw or not. " Naruto explained.
"Who's Kurama?" Kurenai asked.
Naruto looked to Hiruzen who nodded before Naruto spoke. "Kurama is the name of the kyuubi. We talk to each other and he isn't like what everyone makes him out to be. I will explain more later."
"So what happened on the bridge?" the kage asked.
"Sasuke and I were fighting the hunter nin that was with Zabuza. The hunter nin went to attack Sasuke and he switched places with Hinata and she took the attack." Naruto explained.
"I'm sure Kakashi and Sasuke will go to the council when they return so be expecting that Naruto-kun. For now you three are dismissed." Hiruzen said as the three ninja left.

Ino was walking towards her house thinking about the last mission. She knew she didn't like Sasuke anymore but she wasn't sure what these feelings for her fellow blond was but she wanted to find out. She and Naruto were friends before she became friends with Sakura and they started competing for Sasuke's attention. She started acting cold towards Naruto and she had regretted that decision ever since. She continued her walk and noticed Hinata walking down the road towards her. She walked up to her and stopped in front of her.
"Hi Hinata. I was wandering if we could talk later?" Ino asked.
"It's about Naruto-kun right?" Hinata asked getting a nod from the blond.
Hinata didn't like the idea of Naruto having to have more than one wife. She was hoping to keep Naruto to herself but if it meant she could be with Naruto, then she would learn to share with whoever else that Naruto chose to be with.
"Come by the compound later tonight and we'll talk." Hinata said before leaving the blond and heading home.

Naruto sat outside the council chambers waiting to be called into the council room. Just like he expected, the moment team seven arrived back in the village, the Uchiha went straight to the council. Sasuke was currently in the council room while he was sitting there waiting to be called in.
"Naruto-kun, they're ready for you now." Naruto turned toward the voice to find his adoptive sister Yugao in her anbu attire.
"Thank you Neko-chan." Naruto said as he stood and moved into the room. Walking into the room, Naruto saw the hokage with the three elders at the back of the room. To the hokage's right sat the ninja side of the council with the current clan heads. To the hokage's left sat the civilian council with Sasuke at the end of the civilian side. Naruto walked in and stood in the middle of the room.
"Hokage-sama." Naruto said with a bow.
"Genin Uzumaki, you are brought here before the council today on charges that you attacked two fellow Konoha ninja during your last mission. We would like to hear your side of the story." Hiruzen said.
"Excuse me Hokage-sama, but since this is a ninja matter shouldn't only the ninja council be here?" Naruto asked.
On the outside, Hiruzen remained neutral, but on the inside he was smirking at how Naruto was handling this. "That is a very good point genin." The hokage replied getting wide eyed looks from the civilians.
"Hokage-sama, you can't be serious. We can't let this demon do this. It has to be the kyu…" that was as far as he got before a sword erupted from his chest.
"Would anyone else like to break hokage-sama's law?" Neko asked.
The civilians quietly made their way out of the council room while sending glares at Naruto as they left leaving a fuming Uchiha behind. "Alright genin Uzumaki, please tell us what happened." Hiruzen asked.
"Sasuke and I were in the middle of fighting a hunter nin that was with Zabuza and Ichigo. Hinata-chan and Shino were left to guard Tazuna, Hatake-san and Kurenai-sensei were dealing with Zabuza, and Asuma-sensei and his team were dealing with Ichigo. During our fight with the hunter nin, the ninja decided to attack Sasuke. He switched places with Hinata-chan and she took the attack instead of himself." Naruto said causing Hiashi to glare at the Uchiha.
"After I found out she was still alive, I moved to attack the Uchiha and Hatake jumped in the way. I never managed to touch either one." Naruto finished.
"Very well, thank you genin. Since we have heard both sides of the story and none of us want to be here any longer than necessary. Do we find genin Uzumaki guilty of the charges?" Hiruzen asked and only received two votes from Homura and Koharu. "Genin Uzumaki, you are found not guilty of these charges. Everyone is dismissed."
"Better luck next time teme." Naruto said as he walked past Sasuke and out the door. As Naruto was walking down the stairs, he was stopped by the one person he never expected to be stopped by.
"Hello Naruto. Do you have some time to stop by the compound and talk with me?" asked Hiashi Hyuuga.
And there's chapter 6. I hope you all liked it. Not really sure how I did but I like the way it turned out. Anyways, next chapter will have a talk between Naruto and Hiashi and one between Hinata and Ino. We will also have the beginning of the chunin exams along with the three jinchuuriki meeting for the first time. I hope you all enjoyed and don't forget to leave a review.
