Chapter 1: Beginning
This is fic is loosely inspired after reading "councils fooly" by "Agamemnon". I have changed it accordingly to suit my story.
I would like to give credit to the base plot to him.
I do not own Naruto or any of its character and if I did Naruto would be smart at the least he wouldn't be so dense.
Girrr: Thank you, for being the first one to review this story.
Elder sibling: Thank you for your suggestion for the story.
And thank you everyone who alert/fav this story.
"What's happening, I don't understand it was never like this with him before, how-w can he change so much in such a short time?" a blonde girl asked the boy standing next to her
"I have no idea and have no clue whatsoever how this happened" the boy replied.
Currently the blonde girl and the boy who was in a cat costume were watching their youngest brother meditating calmly. They were shocked to see him not giving of any killing intent, he didn't have any crazed look and neither did he utter a word about killing anyone or about proving his existence.
The said boy had red hair and tanuki like eyes with dark circles around his eyes, currently he was pondering about the revelation he heard from the other jhinchuriki in konoha.
'Precious people' the concept was foreign to him, he didn't have anyone whom he could say was precious to him, the only possible person who could come close to that was his sister. As thought about her he remembered her being by his side even when he threatened to kill her. He needed to know more about this concept of 'Precious people'.
"Would you two starring at me, it's getting annoying" Gaara said to his siblings in a neutral voice.
Kankuro panicked and was about to run, but his sister Temari held him in his place
"Gaara I know this is sudden, but I would like to know what happened to you and how you are so calm?" Temari asked
"I have had a lot to think about in the past few days, after my battle with Uzumaki he said something's that have changed my view on a lot of things" Gaara replied again in a neutral voice
"Oh, what did he say?" she asked with genuine curiosity
"Nothing you need to know for the moment" Gaara replied and started to walk away from them.
Temari was once again shocked her brother brushed her off and didn't threaten her, whatever that Uzumaki had said had a huge impact on her brother. She vowed to know what they talked about.
Temari was training in one of the training grounds, it was starting to get dark and she knew she should have gone home by now, but she was working on this particular jutsu for quite some time and wanted to finish it. Just as she was finished her sensei baki came to the training field.
"Temari can I have minute with you, I need to discuss something's which has been decided in today's council meeting"
Hearing this Temari just nodded her head to her sensei to continue
"We have received the terms for our surrender from konoha and they have asked for a kunoichi to be wed to one of their shinobi"
Hearing this, a pit formed in Temari's stomach she could guess what she was going to hear next.
"The council has decided you will be sent to konoha, I know it's shocking but you have to understand that it's the best decision for the village"
"And I would also like to say you have an another mission with this marriage, you are to sire a child of your groom as soon as possible"
This shocked Temari as she didn't think she would be used like this by her village. But she knew that this was the life of a kunoichi.
"Sensei can I at least think about this?" Temari asked tears threatening to spill from her eyes
"I'm sorry Temari but you don't have a choice in this matter, the council has already decided and I'm just here to inform you the news" baki replied neutrally trying to sound as apologetic as possible.
"Can I at least know who I'm going to get married to" Temari asked fearfully.
She didn't want to be married some noble who was around her father's age and she definitely didn't want to be just a trophy wife.
"Sure the council has chosen Uchiha Sasuke as your groom" he said to her
Temari once again was shocked to hear this, she saw him injure Gaara but she also saw the foul chakra he emitted when he battled Gaara and she didn't like the guys' attitude.
She knew she had no choice in this matter now, hardening herself she said
"Sensei I will take this mission, I will come and meet the council tomorrow to give my consent".
Hearing this baki just grinned internally, as his plan had gone very well. He left the training field informing Temari to arrive to the meeting around 11.
As soon as her sensei left she slumped down and hugged her knees to her chest and started to cry.
But unknown to her a figure had heard their talk and decided what he would do
This was a new experience for Jiraiya; he had experienced a lot of things in his life, pain of betrayal from his teammate Oorochimaru, rejection of his love from Tsunade. But he never let those things affect him too much, but the sudden change of behavior from his godson towards him affected him greatly.
The boy and he had a very good relation, they would tease each other and get on each other's nerves but both enjoyed each other's company.
But after Naruto had woken up from his coma after the battle with Oorochimaru and kabuto, he hadn't talked to Jiraiya too much and whenever Jiraiya talked with Naruto he would just reply only as much required and move away from him, Jiraiya didn't think much at first but when Naruto had refused to be trained by him that shocked him to the core.
He didn't know what he had done to get on the kids bad side but he didn't like it and Naruto just didn't respond to him.
As the group made their way towards konoha, Jiraiya decided to confront Naruto and know what exactly he did.
As these thoughts were going through Jiraiya's head, Tsunade's thoughts were completely different.
She was a bit nervous and she knew it wasn't for taking the mantle of hokage, but because of Naruto. He had said that he would tell his decision about her offer once they reached the village.
Just as they reached the village gates Naruto excitedly inside the village
"Baa-chan I'm going to Ichiraku ramen and will meet you in the hospital once you come to heal kakshi-sensei and Uchiha-san" Naruto yelled excitedly.
None of the members missed the Uchiha jab at Sasuke. They just went on thinking they would talk to him later.
Naruto ran towards Ichiraku's excitedly and came inside the ramen stand and yelled
"Hey old man can I get some ramen here I'm starving" he shouted to the stand owner.
"Oh Naruto it's good to see you, I was wondering when you would come back, here the first bowl is on the house" the ramen owner said happily.
Naruto finished his ramen and went to his crappy apartment and lay on his bed he started to think about all the things his father had told him, he was happy that his father and mother didn't abandon him like the villagers told him.
He knew he could have been treated at least a bit better if his godfather had taken care of him, he could never forgive him for the loneliness he had experienced.
He knew he would have to improve his skills, knowledge and intelligence. He had work hard from now on and become strong so that he could take his father's name when the time came without any problems.
As he was musing in his thoughts he remembered that he had to talk with baa-chan.
He got off his bed, washed his face and made his way towards the hospital; he knew that this talk with baa-chan would most likely change his life.
In the council hall (konoha)
3 days before the arrival of Tsunade and group
Before Tsunade had arrived, the council had received the letter from suna, the hidden sand village had agreed to all there condition's but there was one major shock to the elders of konoha.
The entire council had predicted that since konoha did not send the groom's name the suna council would choose the last loyal Uchiha as the groom, it was well thought out plan and had the advantage of having the Uchiha Sasuke inside the village; the elders knew that the boy was flight risk and with a marriage he could be tied down inside the village.
But the elders were shocked that the suna council had not even mentioned the name of the boy but asked for the hand of the village pariah.
The elders knew the boys lineage and were very vary, if the boy got to know about his parentage now it would be devastating for the village with more than half the economy of konoha being dependent on the combined wealth of Uzumaki clan fund and Namikaze Minato's fund and not to mention the political backlash from the fire daimyo since kushina was clan heiress and princess of the Land of whirlpools.
They had to tread carefully on this new situation and so the elders decided to call a vote on the issue. The entire shinobi clan voted for the union between Naruto and Temari.
Present:
The elders were a bit scared now, they had signed the papers for the marriage between Temari and Naruto, but after hearing tsunade talk about the blonde boy as though he was her son was causing panic for the elders.
Hey knew they had to inform the women about the marriage, instead of informing the hokage verbally they just placed the document on her table for her to read.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHO AUTHORISED THIS?" yelled tsunade as soon as she read the document pertaining to Naruto's marriage.
"Hokage-sama, as you can see the treaty with suna was important and since we were the one proposed the marriage clause we can't deny them" replied homura.
Tsunade sighed, she knew none of her screaming would matter and the passing of the document had been done legally in the absence of hokage.
She decided that she would tell Naruto about this when she would meet him at the hospital. She read the document once again and sighed knowing she had just 2 more weeks till the suna party would arrive.
She took the document with her and made her way towards the hospital to treat the members of teams 7.
Naruto reached the entrance of the hospital and waited for tsunade to come, he didn't have to wait as tsunade and Shizune came near the hospital in a few minutes after Naruto.
"Baa-chan would you mind hearing me before going inside and treat the patients" Naruto asked without any hint of jovialness in his voice
Tsunade just nodded her head and asked for the blonde boy to continue
"Baa-chan about your offer, does it still stand" Naruto asked with some embarrassment
Hearing the words coming from Naruto tsunade just grinned,
"Of course gaki, it still does" tsunade replied
"Heh-he baa-chan I would love to be a part of your family, but can you do me favor before we can make it official" Naruto asked rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Sure gaki, what is this favor you are asking, you need some tips for going out with a girl" tsunade asked teasingly and laughed hard when Naruto had blushed.
"Nothing like that baa-chan, I wanted to ask you to remove Jiraiya as my godfather"
