Story begin:
-Early next morning-
Team 6 woke up early well rested and ready for whatever came their way. After exiting the Inn they all headed to the nearest restaurant. After that they headed towards the entrance to the small village.
"Alright Team let's double time it to Uzushio so we can get home quickly from there" Arashi said
"YOSH" came from the response.
And with that they headed towards Uzu no kuni. The trip from where they were in Yu no Kuni would only take them two days top and three days journey from Uzu no kuni to konoha. Within the first they managed to get halfway there however Keitaro, Senritsu and Kurokaze went completely still when they caught the scent of something familiar to Senritsu and Kurokaze.
`Naruto/Tayuya/Arashi I got the scent of a wounded fox` each fox told their partner.
"Oh fuck not again okay Kurokaze lead the way" Arashi said
"You two Senritsu" Tayuya said
"Hey don't leave us behind" Naruto said. With Ino, Karin and Keitaro hot on his heels.
What they came upon sicken most of them, it was a den of foxes mostly murder except for one rose colored vixen it had slash wounds on them as if from a sword however they appeared burnt. However those wounds got burnt they didn't know, but they couldn't just let the poor foxes suffer, so Arashi got an idea and seeing as Karin had yet to get her partner yet he figured this would be a good idea.
Arashi starting channelling Masamune's chakra into the little vixen. Slowly but surely the wounds on the little vixen began to heal, but it also began to increase in size growing to be slightly smaller than Keitaro. Checking over the vixen the boys made sure they were okay. After a while the vixens awoke in a daze a side effect from the demon chakra.
`Where am I, who are you people` The young vixen said, starting to panic. Keitaro came up to the purple one
`Whoa calm down, we saved you so calm down we ain't here to hurt you` Keitaro said
"Yeah that's right we came and saw your family attacked and we wanted to help you two as soon as we found you still alive" Naruto said
`"Wait why would you help a bunch of wild foxes, humans don't normally do that they just attack us or at least that's what our parents told us` the vixen said
"Well you see our family actually takes care of foxes because of the fact that we can understand them as you can see for yourselves. At the moment we only have Four foxes with our family, You have Kurokaze who is my partner here, Senritsu the Crimson fox is Tayuya's partner and the Orange one Keitaro is my brother Naruto's partner, and if you'd like we can take you in and you can choose you partners as well seeing as our family is growing bit by bit." Arashi said
The Rose colored vixen thought about it and she came to a conclusion and went over to Karin
"So I'm guessing you want to be my partner" Karin said
`Yep I get the sense that we will get along the best` the fox said
`Okay kit what you'll need to do to strengthen your bond with the girl is channel some chakra to your teeth and bite down on her collar this will give you two a connection through a cocmpanion mark,` Kurokaze told the vixen
"Okay then I guess I'll call you Kaori [aroma]" Karin said
`Thank you for the nice name I hope we can become great partners` Kaori yipped merrily.
Karin was overjoyed to have her own fox partner. Setting up camp for the night, everyone got their tents ready and then Naruto and Arashi went for firewood and the girls prepared dinner. When dinner was finished Arashi took up first watch sending out a battalion of Shadow clones to set up a patrol, and traps.
When morning came they gathered their stuff and got ready to head off again. Before they got to the coast they walked the rest of the way to conserve their chakra seeing as they would be crossing a narrow channel using the water walking technique that Arashi made sure the genin knew well in advance of their first C-rank. Anyway as they were walking Naruto began to get curious.
"Hey aniki I remember Sarutobi-jiijii told me that you and aneki grew up in Uzushio, can you tell us what it was like" Naruto asked his older brother
"Well Naruto it wouldn't have been anything like when Kaa-chan used to live in the village you see as me and Hikari grew up in what remained of the village from the fallout of the Third great Shinobi War, to be honest it was quite depressing growing up in the ruins of what used to be a great village. Anyway enough about that, we should be getting to the channel to get to Uzu no kuni," Arashi said.
After a while they reached the coast and the spot where the distance between Yu no Kuni and Uzu no Kuni was the shortest. From here they would walk across the channel and get to the Whirlpool islands that way. However The Uzumaki's had an easier way of going between and even safely through the many Whirlpools that guarded Uzushiogakure. Arashi had his own way to go between but he needed to get their first.
However when they arrived in Uzu no kuni not a short distance from Uzushio they came across a group of Four rain nin and what appeared to be a woman in a cloak and head covered by a parasol or at least Arashi thought it was woman judging from the appearance and the figure of the person. Arashi didn't want to go rushing into this due to the unknown figure but the rain Nin would be easy. However things kinda went south for the team when Viola and Kaori started growling fiercely. The reason why,
`It's them those are the ones that attacked us` Viola said bearing her fangs. All the growling brought the group to the attention of the rain Nin and the mysterious figure. The figure turned allowing team 6 to get a good look at the mysterious Nin. When Arashi spotted the face of the cloaked figure he recognised him immediately.
"Aoi Rokushō, missing Nin of konoha and thief of the Raijin no ken [sword of the thunder god], which belonged to the Nidaime Hokage" Arashi said. "What brings scum like you to sacred Uzumaki Ground?"
Aoi sneered. Aoi Rokushō was a very effeminate looking man with green hair in a similar style to Sakura [after the chuunin exams], also the outfit he wore didn't help his masculinity at all.
"What's it to you konoha brats" he said again sneering.
"Well the fact that you would dare try to sneak into my home village pisses me off, and yes that does mean That I am an Uzumaki, clan Heir as well, the name is Arashi Uzumaki-Namikaze" Arashi told him. Aoi's eyes widened at this as he knew full well what his last name meant, he was the Son of those two people.
"GET THEM" he shouted panicking, he was supposed to sneak in and get whatever secrets this old village held and bring it back to the leader of Amegakure [The village hidden in the rain]. But this complicated things.
"Okay guys you four handle the rain ninja I got Rokushō" Arashi said drawing his sword and combining it with the last two swords in his holster. With the Fusion swords combined completely it was at its peak strength. Arashi Lunged for Aoi as the others went for the rain Nin. Arashi swung his sword horizontally towards Aoi's aiming to bisect him. However Aoi barely managed to jump out of the way, he then used his signature move senbon shower to send a hail of senbon towards Arashi, who threw one of his tri pronged kunai away from the attack and flashed out of immediate danger.
Lunging again Arashi went for a diagonal sweep to cleave him through the torso. However Aoi dodged again but just barely again as this time Arashi managed to destroy Aoi's umbrella.
"You punk, you destroyed my umbrella" he shouted
"Well it's not my fault your evasion sucks seriously how did you make jōnin?" Arashi taunted.
"Like this" Aoi said frustrated, he pulled out the hilt to a sword. "I have mastery over the Raijin, the strongest sword in the world able to cut through anything" he said lunging at Arashi "Your overgrown dagger is nothing compared to this sword" he said slash vertically
'so that's what caused the wounds on the foxes' Arashi thought as he channelled his wind elemental chakra into his Sword causing the whole blade to glow a whitish blue. He then blocked Aoi's feeble sword slash. And to Aoi's surprised Arashi deflected the swords out of Aoi's hand into the air.
"What how did you do that, the Raijin is supposed to be able to cut through anything" Aoi screamed.
"Yeah anything that isn't reinforced with wind chakra, sheesh don't you know your chakra affinities, seriously any way it's time I wrapped this up" Arashi said as he holstered his sword and created a few shadow clones. Said clones then began to swarm Aoi forcing him to try and dodge his attacks but failing in the end as he his kicked high into the sky by four clones. Then charging his chakra Arashi jumps as well chasing after Aoi. He then began to charge his sword full of chakra and does one slash with it and Shouts
"Namikaze Kenjutsu: Omunisurasshu [Namikaze Sword Play Omni-slash]" He shouted as he swung his sword towards Aoi. Then all six swords then divided and flew upwards and surrounding Aoi. Arashi then glow blue as he retrieves the first sword to attack and slashes at Aoi, this continues for five more slashes each with a different blade he then does an additional three slashes, and he then grabs the base sword and dives towards Aoi. Before the Final strike four of the energy silhouettes attack an extra time, then the final strike hits and Arashi lands along with his silhouettes holding the auxiliary swords, they disappear after Arashi catches the base sword.
After that erupts a scream from Aoi as blood erupts from many wounds as well as his limbs becoming detached from his body as he landed in a bloody mess. Arashi then rakes off his head with a quick slash from the base sword, this was so he can claim the bounty on Aoi as he was still a missing nin from konoha. He then sealed the head into an empty scroll and placed inside his flak jacket. He then took the Raijin sealed it into the scroll than normally held his fusion swords.
-With the others-
Tayuya had taken care of her ninja just before she heard Arashi call his finisher on Aoi, she was completely captivated by the skill and ingenuity shown by Arashi's move, that and 'That was so fucking Badass' she thought, she then went and helped Ino who was having a slight difficulty with her opponent, Karin and Kaori were easily defending against their nin.
Naruto and Keitaro were having the best time running circles against their opponent, no seriously they were actually running circles around him dodging all his attacks. Then suddenly Naruto heard Kurama talk to him
"Hey kit try this jutsu out on this ningen you should be able to use them now that his abilities are now yours" he said sending Naruto the hand seals and info on the jutsu. Then flashing through the hand seals Naruto then he shouted
"Mokuton: Jubaku Eisō [Wood Release: Tree Bind Flourishing Burial]" and with the announcement the enemy ninja sunk into the ground only to be encased in the trunk of a tree. The ninja then found himself unable to move, then his chakra was sapped away leaving him with only enough to live and it also knocked him out. Then Naruto cancelled the jutsu. The only thing was that everyone saw this including the ninja fighting Karin. Who decided after seeing Mokuton jutsu he had to get the hell out of dodge. He then took his partners and got the hell out of there.
"Yeah, take that assholes you just got your asses handed to you by the Future Hokage" He shouted.
After everyone settled after the battle, Arashi walked up to Naruto
"Otōto what style of jutsu was that you just used" He asked his younger brother.
"Umm I think it was Mokuton, Why?" he asked wondering why his brother asked that question. Arashi just stood there mouth agape.
"Naruto-kun don't you remember what the Shodaime Hokagewas famous for" Ino asked him
"Yeah he built and helped found Konoha using his…holy crap I think I'm related to the Shodaime" Naruto said taking a similar stance to Arashi, mouth agape and all.
"Right we'll figure this out when we get back to konoha, for now let's get into Uzushio" Arashi said. And with that they headed towards the hidden whirlpool village. As they headed that way, Tayuya caught up to and walked beside Arashi.
"Hey Arashi, that was a pretty badass move you did back there taking out the drag queen" she said smirking.
"Thanks Tayuya you have some pretty tight moves yourself you know, no one can create genjutsu like you can with your flute" Arashi said, smiling back at her. Tayuya blushed at the compliment towards her skills especially with her flute.
"Thanks" she said still blushing a slight red.
After a while they found themselves just across from Uzushio's whirlpools. Arashi went through a few hand seals. Then shouted
"Kai" releasing the jutsu that made the whirlpools. "Okay guys lets go that only works for a certain period of time so let's get cracking" Arashi said. And with that they headed into the lost city of Uzushio. What the found brought sadness to their hearts as they walk through the ruins. Thankfully the skeletons had been long gone. The group were on their way towards the center of the city towards the Uzumaki compound. If there was anything left it would be in there.
"So Arashi what is it exactly we came here for anyway" Tayuya asked
"Well Tayuya, Okaa-san said that there was three clan summons and we only one, that and there should be more Uzumaki Fūinjutsu scrolls as well seeing as Okaa-san only had the ones Mito-obaa-san had and that was about half of them" Arashi said
"Oh right then" she replied.
They reached the Uzumaki clan compound and they were overwhelmed by the sheer size of it. It was at least twice the size of the Namikaze compound. And it was very Feudal looking as all the architecture look to be of that Era.
The group then headed to the main house as that would be were all the important clan treasures would be. Once inside they found a huge Hall that led to several different rooms.
"Okay guys I think it might be a good idea to go check the back rooms first so I'll go check those rooms you guys go upstairs and check the rooms up there" Arashi
"Got it" came the reply.
So Arashi went and checked the back rooms, and by check them I mean he went and send a bunch of clones to do it for him, while he went over the study belonging to his Ojī-san Heihachi Uzumaki. Inside this room he found his grandfather's journal and whatnot but no clues as to where the scrolls where hidden. That's when it hit him 'they have to be in the cellar, there would be a vault down there guarded by a blood seal so it would be easy enough for me to get through' he thought
He then summoned a clone "You know what to do" he told it right before it dispelled. And with that all his clones focused on finding a way into the cellar
-Upstairs with the rest of the Group-
When the rest of the group headed upstairs, Tayuya and Karin took the west hallway while Naruto and Ino took the east hallway. To be honest they had no idea exactly what they were looking for but they went looking anyway.
-With Naruto and Ino-
Naruto and Ino managed to get about halfway down the large corridor before Ino came to a stop in front of a door.
"Hey Naruto-kun, your Kaa-san's name is Kushina right?" she asked
"Hai, why do you ask Ino-chan?" he replied
"Well her name is on this door here Naruto-kun" she said pointing towards the door, and like she said written on the door in Kanji was Kushina Uzumaki. Curiosity bursting inside them, they decide to take a look inside. To their surprise Kushina's room wasn't overly-feminine yet it was too neutral either. On the queen sized bed were a bunch of stuffed animals from foxes to bears. Naruto thought it might be nice to take them home for his baby sister Hitomi and for his Kaa-chan. Looking around more they found all photos with Kushina and her parents in them and other family members. Naruto sealed these up too just in case. After finding everything they thought would be useful they exited the room and continued the search
-With Tayuya and Karin-
Tayuya, Senritsu, Karin and Kaori, were in the middle of their search when they came upon the room belonging to the Clan Head Heihachi Uzumaki. Upon entering the room they found it to be stripped of all materials such as clothing, bed linen and whatnot. However they did find a journal owned by Heihachi, so Tayuya picked it up and read the last Journal
'To any Surviving Uzumaki that may be reading this,
The Uzumaki legacy of Fūinjutsu and our most powerful clan summons, are hidden in the Uzumaki clan vault hidden in the cellar. Only true Uzumaki will be able to find it and open the hidden entrance as well as the entrance to the vault itself. I leave everything to you so that you may be able to bring our clan from the brink of destruction back to prosperity.
Clan head and Daimyo of Uzu No Kuni
Heihachi Uzumaki.'
"I'm pretty sure this is what Arashi-kun meant when he sent us to find clues, what do you think Karin?" Tayuya asked, not realizing her addition of the affectionate suffix to Arashi's name.
"I think that's a great idea" she said, she thought of mentioning that she used 'kun; but she thought better, that and she really wanted to finish up here.
"Right let's meet up with the others" Tayuya said leaving the room behind Karin and Senritsu.
-Back with Arashi-
Arashi was going through the different studies when he suddenly got the memories from his clones, they found the cellar. Thankfully one of the clones remembered to place a Hiraishin seal on the door leading to the cellar. So with that in place he went to regroup with the others.
-In the main hall-
When Group met up again Tayuya went over to Arashi and Karin went over to the two blonds.
"Hey Arashi, I found this up in one of the rooms," Tayuya said giving the journal to Arashi.
"Thanks Tayuya-chan," he said as he looked over and read the last entry "Yeah this proves what I know,"
"And what's that" Tayuya asked
"That what we're looking for is in the cellar" Arashi said then looking towards the rest of the group "Okay guys we're going to head towards the cellar now," and with that they headed towards the cellar.
Arashi was using the pull he felt on the seal his clone placed down as tracking device. Soon enough they found themselves heading down into the cellar. Now the cellar was like any normal one a large open room with various items such as weapon racks. However one of the racks looked like it was placed haphazardly.
"There" Arashi said pointing towards it. He went up to it and moved the rack away from the wall to find what looked like to be an untouched wall however the bit of wall that was covered moments ago seemed to shimmer every now and again. Arashi then drew some blood by biting on his thumb and wiped it on the wall. Then in a flash of light the 'wall' disappeared and a large door appeared with the Uzumaki symbol, this is where the Blood seal would be located.
Again wiping some blood on the seal the door gave a large thunk sound and creaked open. Inside was a small library, by that I mean there was bookshelves covering all four walls of the room with scrolls decorating them at the back wall were a large scroll, it was what Arashi went to first.
"Ha hah, I found it" he exclaimed. Looking over the scroll he found it to be the one he was looking for.
"What is it Arashi what did you find" Tayuya asked, she tried peeking at what he was looking at.
"These are the summons that Ojī-sama was talking about in his journal" he said getting even more excited
"Well what are they then don't leave me in suspense shithead, tell us already" Tayuya said getting impatient.
"Okay these scrolls are the contracts to the Liger Clan summons. The Ligers are Pure Battle summons they are huge and can go toe-to-toe with the bijū especially the Demon foxes we have sealed in us, of course Masamune, Asuna and especially Kurama won't ever admit to that though." Arashi said.
"Holy fuck that sounds awesome" Tayuya said.
"Fuck yeah, and what's even better is that they only let the Clans of Uzushio summon them, so that would mean Uzumaki, Tatsumaki and the Senju Clans even though they weren't from Uzushio they were cousins to the Uzumaki" Arashi said.
"Sweet, okay so what's left to do" Tayuya asked
"Well we just need to seal the contents of this room and bring them back to Okaa-san." Arashi said. The group then proceeded to do exactly doing that, and with the five of them working together they managed to get it all done in no time at all.
"Okay now I'm gonna Flash us all home so everybody grab a hold of each other to establish the connection" Arashi said. Everyone taking a hold of each other's arms, Arashi flashed them all to the seal he had placed on the gate to Konoha this way they would still check in at the gate. With a flash of yellow they were gone.
-At the Gate to konoha-
With a Flash of Yellow the group made it back to Konoha. Walking past the gate towards the guard booth they met the Eternal Chuunin Kotetsu and Izumo.
"Hey you guys back already" Kotetsu asked
"Yeah we took a quick detour but still made good time" Arashi said.
"Oh would this detour have anything to do with two senseis going off on a date by any chance" Izumo asked with a sly look on his face
"No, shut the fuck up asshole" Tayuya said blushing madly.
"Anyway we'll just sign the register and we'll go report our mission to Hokage" Arashi said sporting a blush himself, "We'll see you guys around" he said waving backwards as he and the group walked towards the village after signing the register.
As they got further into the village Arashi turned to the genin
"Okay guys you go on ahead home, me and Tayuya will give in the report" Arashi said
"Okay Aniki I'll see you guys at home" Naruto said, smirking, Arashi and Tayuya couldn't help but feel they were in for something when they got home.
"Told ya devious little fucker" Arashi said to Tayuya, she only nodded her head.
As they got closer to the Hokage's tower, Tayuya couldn't help think back over the mission and the events that unfolded over the last couple of days.
"Hey Rashi, I just wanna say thanks again for…" she was saying before
"Hey don't mention Tayu-chan, I'd do it again in a heartbeat, because I protect those close to me and I consider you one of the most closest to me" He said smiling warmly at her.
"Seriously" she said doing a double take
"Yeah of course, listen Tayuya, I know we kinda got off on the wrong foot but I really like spending time with you, you're never afraid to really speak your mind and you can hold your own," he said beginning to blush madly, "Listen what I'm trying to say is that I really like you and I'd like it if we can spend more time together outside of the Clan compound and team meetings"
Tayuya was taken aback by this, 'He likes me too' she said, for the longest time since Hikari and Himself saved her from being taken by Orochimaru months ago she developed a crush on him, hence why she only called him Shithead, and if she was honest with herself that crush only developed into something more when he saved her from nearly losing her head, it doesn't seem much between partners but it was something to her especially because of her crush on him. So now that he was confessing his own feelings to her, her heart was going a mile a minute and she couldn't feel happier. And with that she embraced him in a hug, surprising the fuck out of him
"Yeah that would be awesome" she said, then pushing of him "But nothing too extravagant, I'm a simple kinda girl got it" she said poking him
"Of course anyway let's get this Report to Otou-san" Arashi said
"Fuck yeah" Tayuya replied. With that the couple jumped towards the rooftops and proceeded on their way to the Hokage's Office.
-At the Hokage's Office-
Currently Minato was busy occupying himself with a game of shogi with Kushina while little Hitomi was busy napping. This was the scene that Tayuya and Arashi walked into when they came through the window. Just as they walked in Minato had beaten Kushina
"Damn it you beat me every time ttebane" she said making sure to be quiet as to not wake up Hitomi.
"Well Kushi-chan you get to impatient towards the end and make you moves to randomly" Minato said chuckling. He would have continued except He heard some coughing coming from behind him. Turning around he was met with Arashi and Tayuya standing beside each other.
"Oh hiya Musuko, Tayuya-chan, what brings you here" Minato said giving his trademark smile.
"Here to give our mission report tou-san" Arashi answered.
"Oh good, let's hear it then" Minato said getting Serious
Arashi then went into detail about the events of the mission and how they went to Uzushio to make sure no more scrolls were taken and the Clan Vault secured. He also told how they went up against Aoi and the rain ninja but most surprising was when Arashi told his parents how Naruto unlocked his Mokuton bloodline.
"Mokuton are you sure" Minato asked
"Yeah he used a jutsu that trapped his enemy in a tree and sap the energy out of him" Arashi answered
"Wait Sochi can you use it too" Kushina asked her eldest child
"I dunno I haven't tried, you see I unlocked the Uzumaki Bloodline" Arashi said, closing his eyes when he opened them he had his Rinnegan Activated, "You see I have Rinnegan and through unlocking it I have all five Chakra affinities, but I don't know if I have The Mokuton Bloodline" he finished. At seeing his eyes his parents were amazed
"I think we need to do some blood test and some ancestry test," Minato said "Also I'll have sensei contact Tsunade as she would like to know that she has living relatives, Kuchiyose no Jutsu"
A poof of smoke later and a small toad appeared on the Desk "hiya GamaHito [hito = messenger] reporting for duty" the little toad said saluting
"GamaHito I need you to deliver a message to Jiraiya-sensei" Minato said writing a message onto a scroll "Here give him this and tell him he needs to be quick about it the chuunin exams are fast approaching and I don't need a lot of confusion then"
"Got it" the toad said saluting and disappearing in another poof of smoke.
"Oh Kaa-san we got the clan summons when we searched the vault" Arashi said looking towards his mother, he took out the scroll containing the summoning contracts.
"Really that's great ttebane, I never got to sign them so It'd be nice to have them, I'll also be giving permission to you, your otōto and imōto as well." Kushina said taking the scroll from Arashi.
"Is that everything you need to tells us you two" Minato asked
"No that's everything" Arashi said shaking his head "We'll see ya later, tou-san, kaa-chan Ja ne" he said jumping through the window.
"Was it me or where those two a lot friendlier then normal" Minato asked looking at the last spot the two teenagers occupied
"No I saw it two, I'll be heading Home Minato-kun, I need to get a start on dinner and I'm pretty sure Naruto and Karin already have all the juicy details for us ttebane" she said smirking she went over and picked up Hitomi who was starting to wake "See ya later Mina-kun"
"Ja ne Kushi-chan" He replied. As Kushina left Minato's secretary came in with a fresh batch of paperwork.
"Here you go Hokage-sama" she said leaving the paperwork on the desk in front of him, turning around she left. Looking at the paperwork Minato sighed
"It never ends does it" he said, then he shrugged "Oh well Shadow Clone jutsu" with that two clones came into existence "You guys know what to do" he said and with that they got to doing the paperwork while he took out his book and started to re-read it for the umpteenth time.
-With a certain white haired pervert-
Jiraiya was currently in the middle of very important research [Read, peeking at women at having a blast]. Just as he was about to finish for the night, a poof beside him alerted him towards a summons.
"Hiya Jiraiya-sama I bring a message from hokage-sama" GamaHito said saluting
"Oh something from Minato huh" Jiraiya said "Alright let's have it then"
"Hai" the little toad said taking out the scroll and handing it to Jiraiya "Sayonara Jiraiya-sama" he said saluting once again and disappearing in a poof of smoke.
Jiraiya then opened the scroll and read the contents. If he had been drinking something he would have spat it out all over the place. 'Crap if when she hears of this I'm probably going to end up like I did that time I peeked on her' Jiraiya thought
"Oh well, better nip this in the bud" he said. And with that he took off in search of the legendary sucker. Too bad for him Tsunade was already on her way towards Konoha.
-With Tsunade when she decided to return to konoha-
To know why she chose to go home, remember that the rain Nin had fled after learning of Naruto's mokuton abilities. They had to go through Hi no Kuni in order to get to Amegakure so when they stopped in a village near the border between Hi no Kuni and Ame no Kuni. They stopped in a bar that Tsunade just so happened to be in when they started talking about blond gakis using Mokuton
"Tsunade-sama, did you hear what I heard" Shizune, her apprentice asked.
"Yes I believe It might be time to return home, come on Shizune, we best be getting back soon" Tsunade said walking out of the bar.
"Hai Tsunade-sama" Shizune said hot on her heels.
And that's why Tsunade was currently on her way to konoha.
-With Arashi and Tayuya after they left the Hokage's office-
"Hey Tayuya wanna get some ramen, my treat" Arashi said heading towards Ichiraku's.
"Fuck yeah, after that mission I could go for some noodles, lead the way Rashi" Tayuya answered.
With that the couple headed towards the ramen stand. When they got their only Teuchi was working.
"Well if it isn't Arashi, and is this your girlfriend?" Teuchi asked
"Hiya Teuchi, Yeah this here is Tayuya, can I get two bowls of Miso ramen please" Arashi said, as he and Tayuya sat down at the counter.
"No problem, two bowls of Miso coming up" Teuchi said preparing the food for them. After a while the couple received there bowls and they began eating during which something struck Arashi,
"Hey Tayuya, remember at the festival, did you remember seeing the twerps at all" Arashi said thinking back. Tayuya's eyes widened
"Oh shit, no I didn't see them at all, fuck that means they probably saw us though, shit and your brother left for home with that little shit eating grin of his" Tayuya replied
"Devious little fucker, I swear I wasn't as bad as he was when I was his age, but then again it was only me and Hikari" Arashi said.
They then decided to finish their ramen and get home. However as soon as they stepped out of the tent they both sneezed at the same time.
"Well I guess we'll be getting the whole meet the parents stuff outta of the way first then." Arashi said chuckling.
"Fuck me sideways" Tayuya said blushing up a storm
"Whoa we only started dating Tayu-chan, a little soon don't you think" Arashi said smirking while suppressing a chuckle. Tayuya however blushed even more and scowled
"I didn't mean figuratively shithead" Tayuya replied.
"Mah mah calm down Tayu-chan, let's just get home and we can get this over with" Arashi said
"Fine but you're treating me to Dango after dinner" she replied.
"Fair enough" Arashi said shrugging.
-Back at the house-
"And when they got back Tayuya gave him a Kiss goodnight according to Kurokaze" Naruto finished. Kurokaze barked giving his agreement.
"Ooh I'm so glad for my Sochi, Naru-chan how are you and Ino getting along" Kushina asked squealing after hearing about her eldest son's first date, when she got home with Hitomi, she asked Naruto and Karin all about their mission. So of course the two genin told her everything, and I mean everything including what they found in her old room from Uzushio, she was very happy at that and they had placed all the stuffed animals in Hitomi's room. They also placed all the Family photos with the rest on the table in the porch.
"Well we're doing fine but we're only friends at the moment Kaa-chan, aren't we a little young for that sorta thing ttebayo" Naruto asked blushing and rubbing the back of his neck.
"Nonsense, I fell in love with your father around your age, ttebane" Kushina replied. "But I'll save that story for when your Aniki gets back, this way I won't have to repeat myself to Tayuya-chan.
This was when the couple in question decided to walk in the door. They almost made it to the stairs when they were stopped by Kushina.
"Welcome Home Sochi, Tayuya-chan, so what's this Naruto is telling me about a festival and this Lovely young couple who are both young shinobi" she said with that Mother's smirk.
"Heheh Hiya Kaa-san, well you see" Arashi then proceeded to tell things from his point of view, everything from saving Tayuya, to admitting his feelings to her. Then Tayuya gave her account as well.
"Oh that's so wonderful, good for you two, you're perfect for each other, and you've been bound by the red thread of fate, it seems" Kushina said. Tayuya didn't know what she meant but Arashi did
'Fuck she's right, this is exactly how tou-san and kaa-san fell in love, double fuck I do have a mom complex, damn you tou-san' Arashi thought. With this Kushina told everyone present how when she was kidnapped by Kumogakure [Village hidden in the clouds] ninjas, Minato had rescued her when he followed a trail made by her hair, that was when he complimented her hair and she fell for him. She said that her hair became her Red Thread of Fate.
At the end Tayuya couldn't help but feel the same about her hair seeing as Arashi was the first to say he liked the color. That and the similarities between the stories were scary. 'Oh well my life could be worse, I could be a slave to a pedophile with some disgusting fucking hickey that makes me all demon and I could end up dying only to turn psycho bitch after somehow being resurrected' she thought, ' and to be honest I can't do much better than him'.
"Hey Rashi looks like we ain't the only ones to find someone" Tayuya said pointing towards their partners, for in the corner of the room was Kurokaze and Senritsu snuggling together.
"Well to be honest it's easier for them, because their lives are normally shorter than ours they don't fret over things like dates," Arashi said.
"Yeah that and they don't have to worry about some stupid wedding" Tayuya added
"Well just be glad you'll be able to have a wedding, I didn't get the wedding I wanted, myself and Minato got married in secret ttebane" Kushina said.
"Don't Worry about that Kaa-san it's too early to be thinking about that yet" Arashi said sweat dropping at the mention of marriage. "Seriously we only just started going out"
"Yeah I don't want to even think about marriage for about a year" Tayuya said,
"You might say that now you two but remember you are ninja, you could die on a mission tomorrow, so most of us live for today so we can leave this world behind with no regrets, for the most part anyway." Kushina said.
"Yeah we hear you, but we want to take it slow for the time being, ya 'know" Arashi said.
"Alright enough about that, Tayuya, Karin I'll need your help in the kitchen with getting dinner ready" Kushina said
"Hai Oba-san" came the reply
"Hikari I need you take care of your sister while I'm preparing dinner" Kushina asked her daughter
"Got it Kaa-san" Hikari said taking her baby sister and bringing her upstairs to her room.
"Naruto, Arashi I need you to go ask your Tou-san when he'll be home" She asked her boys
"Got it Kaa-san" "Yeah leave it to us ttebayo" came the replies, and with that two flashes of yellow signaled their departure from the house.
"-sigh- I'm starting to wish those three didn't know that jutsu, seriously anywhere they need to go and Flash, they're there, takes all the fun outta walking ttebane" Kushina said watching her two boys casually use a jutsu her husband developed for battle "I think I'll talk with Minato-kun about telling the boys not to be using that jutsu constantly"
And with that the Matriarch of the Uzumaki-Namikaze went and got dinner ready for her family.
-With Minato –
Minato was currently halfway through his book and his clones were almost finished with the paperwork. All of a sudden his two boys flashed into the office.
"Hiya tou-san" Naruto said
"Hello Naruto, Arashi" Minato said "What brings you boys here"
"Kaa-chan wants to know when you'll be home" Naruto said
"Ah well I should be done soon enough, by the way boys I meant to tell you, you remember I told you how I was orphaned at a young age right" Minato began
"Hai tou-san" the boys replied
"Well thinking back and everything I remembered, when I became I ninja I had searched for anything concerning me and my parents, well during my search I had found that I wasn't an orphan, someone had left me in the orphanage when I was just a baby with a blanket and a note explaining why It was that they had to leave me there and what my name was to be" Minato continued
"What did the note say Tou-san" Arashi asked getting very interested, he knew his father was orphaned like he was but this was completely new to him, guess it was because he was now alive,
"Well it said that they were sorry for leaving me in the orphanage but they didn't know who my parents were however they did leave me with a note with my name on it"
"Huh, are you trying to tell us what I think you're trying to tell us" Arashi said connecting the dots.
"Yes I'm pretty sure that Tsunade Senju is my biological Mother, because I once asked Jiraiya-sensei once why it was that Tsunade left konoha, I mean I knew about her First fiancé's death as well as her brother's death but those deaths occurred years before she decided to leave, so Jiraiya-sensei told me how she was once pregnant, however after she had the baby and about a month afterwards, she was called away on a mission with the Third Hokage looking after it. Well one night the baby was taken in the middle of the night. No one knew what exactly happened to the baby but one thing was for sure and that was that Tsunade was absolutely devastated and with that she left. I was left in the orphanage about a month after she left turns out a ninja from Konoha rescued me from a village being attacked by Cloud Ninja, however they couldn't take care of me so they left me in the orphanage with the note, you see I was saved in the old Wind village, a harbor village on the border between Hi no Kuni and Nami no Kuni. Anyway in my searches I also found that the ninja that kidnapped that baby was a ninja for Iwagakure [village hidden in the rock], and I also found a rock head band in the ruins of that village I was found in when I went to see if I could find anything on my parents. Now that Naruto here has unlocked the Shodaime's Mokuton bloodline trait I'm positive of Tsunade being my mother"
"Well I guess we'll know for certain when we do those blood test, won't we Tou-san" Arashi said
"Yes we will, anyway looks like my clones are finished with the paperwork, so let's head home boys" Minato said changing the subject to a more lighter one.
"Right" they boys replied. This time they decided to actually walk home as Minato had to notify his secretary that he was going home for the day.
When they got home the three males gave a loud enough "Taidama" [I'm home]
While Kushina and the girls gave back the response "Okaeri nasai" [Welcome home].
And with that the family sat down to eat, unaware of the confusion headed their way, as Tsunade was fast approaching Konoha, and what Tsunade was unaware of was that she would have more than enough reasons to stay in konoha this time.
And done.
Okay so Naruto's got mokuton now and Arashi/Tayuya is getting a little more serious. Don't worry it will be long before they say the L word to each other so no need to worry about it going too fast,
Now next chapter should have more Hikari in it and more family hijinks will happen especially when Tsunade comes to town. Also I hope you like my little bit of background for Minato.
Right now next I'll be working on another project before I get to work on the next Moonlight Warrior then after that it'll be another New Dimension so remember to keep an eye my page for updates or your email if your following the story and thanks once more for all the reviews guys keep it up.
Until next time
