Naruto: A New Dimension Chapter 15:
The aftermath, Weddings, and Surprise dinner
A/N: quick note I changed the pairing of NaruIno to NaruKari, there's not a lot of long NaruKari stories and I really like the pairing so I'm going to work with that from now on, also updated the picture I have up on deviantart. I rewrote the previous chapters taking out Ino's fox, to be honest I was only using it as a device to get NaruIno in the story but it wasn't conductive to the story so I took her out, I know for a fact I never made any mention Naruto and Ino were in a relationship, but that they had crushes on each other, and as we know most times crushes fade as the crushees get to know each other, so yes they will still have the crush but Naruto will also grow attracted to Karin

{Flashbacks}
Story begin:
It has been a month since the Sand/Oto Invasion and the village has returned to a somewhat normal routine. Obito and Rin have been re-inducted into the Shinobi ranks and everyone knows that they are back. Arashi and the other Jōnin save for Tayuya, have been taking missions to help get rid of the surplus of missions that was available, the genin had been put on constant d ranks with the newly made Chūnin like Naruto, Shikamaru who showed tactical genius during the second stage and was recommended by the Chūnin who saw him during said stage, Ino and Karin were also made Chūnin because of the skills they showed during their match. Their jobs were to help with the clean-up of the village, and the rebuilding of the damaged areas.
Tsunade, Hikari, Honoka, Haku and Shizune were swamped at the hospital, as a lot of shinobi and Kunoichi and civilians had gotten injured during the invasion, that and the ninja coming in with injuries from the missions.
Kushina was busy helping Hitomi with her studies as she was catching up with her age group so that she could integrate into the academy flawlessly, she was only four years away from graduating so she had to be ready. That and she wanted to kick everyone else's collective asses, well she is an Uzumaki that much is expected.
Tayuya had been keeping busy by training with team 6 and playing her flute as well as playing guitar which she was getting better at. Her tummy now showing that she is pregnant, getting near her second trimester. She also had been getting ready for her wedding with the help of Kushina, seeing as Arashi had proposed shortly after the invasion, it was absolutely Romantic, he had taken them on vacation to hot spring country where they went to a spa for a day, they then had dinner at one of the fancier restaurants, if he had proposed there she would have said yes, but no he had to take it one stage further and proposed at the beach during the sunset and if she weren't pregnant she would have taken him there and then.
The wedding was all planned and ready in fact the ceremony was today so here she was getting herself ready with the help of Hikari and Shizune, Tayuya was dressed in a gorgeous Cream White Kimono with floral spirals and trees, it had a Royal Blue Obi, her hair was done up in a topknot, her bangs were swept to her right and held in place by a single black clip.
Hikari and Shizune like the rest of the women involved in the wedding were dressed in their formal Kimonos, Minato was dressed in his shinobi uniform with his signature battle cloak, Hiruzen was once again in the hokage robes however it was purely for the ceremony, Jiraiya, Naruto, Kakashi, Obito (who became good friends with Arashi over the month) were in their formal Kimonos.
Arashi himself was in the traditional garb for the Groom which was an under kimono with a spiral décor on it, a solid black Kimono with Three Uzumaki Crests and two large Senju Crest on it and an obi, Black and white striped Hakama, a solid black haori with the same crests as the Kimono, the haori is tied loosely with a white pom-pom'ed tie called a himo. The footwear is a pair of white tabi socks and white square-toe'd zori sandals. He also had a small fan for the photos later.
Arashi along with the rest of the people involved were in the Hokage's office awaiting the bride, like the couple being wed agreed this was to be a small ceremony, just officialising the matrimony of the two. On the desk in front of Arashi was three ceremonial sake cups, and scrolls, as well as the family registers for the Senju Clan and the Village records.
Everyone's attention was focused on the doors and the people who just walked in, however Arashi was completely captivated by his bride's beauty, he could honestly say he had never seen a woman as beautiful as Tayuya was. She was positively glowing right now and he couldn't help the stupid grin and look on his face,
Tayuya saw the look on her Husband's Face she blushed so red her face matched her hair color, also he was very handsome in her opinion, and with the outfit he was wearing he looked very royal looking, ironically enough he is as good as royalty considering his lineage but that's neither here nor there.
"We few here have gathered today to celebrate and join Arashi and Tayuya together in Holy Matrimony," Hiruzen began, they went through a simple enough ceremony Arashi and Tayuya reading from the scrolls and taking sips of sake from the cups and passing them around the room, however the most touching part that brought a tear to Tayuya's eye was when Arashi openly declared that he would defend her and their children to his dying breath. They finished the ceremony when the newlyweds signed the Registers declaring their joining in marriage and finished with a kiss.
With the wedding finished Arashi and Tayuya were the first to leave for home followed by their parents then siblings and the rest of the family and friends,
When they got back to the Senju house there was a cake on the dining table, along with other treats.
"So how does it feel to be married you guys" Rin asked the newlyweds
"Well truthfully we've been technically married for a while now" Arashi said rubbing his neck sheepishly
"NANI" Rin and Obito shouted, Kakashi was shocked as well but he didn't show it because of his stupid mask, Mikoto was shocked as well, however everyone else more or less knew
"Well you see thanks to our bonds with the fox, the first time we slept together, we mated in fox terms which more or less means we got married, we even got these marks to show are bonding" Tayuya said looking uncharacteristically bashful.
"Huh cool I think" Obito said brushing off the shock
"So Tayuya, how's the baby doing" Rin asked, Rin has been remedying her medic skills and improving on them over the last month and has been showing interest in the maternity ward seeing as she has always loved babies.
"It's doing good, certainly has gotten bigger" Tayuya said, a warm smile on her face as she rubbed her belly, "he has started to move though, I can feel the little guy doing cartwheels in there from time to time" she added giggling
"So it's a boy" Rin asked
"Well we don't know and we want to keep it a surprise, I say it's a boy, but Rashi swears it'll be a girl" Tayuya said mock glaring at her husband
"What I just have a feeling, well that and I really want a girl, my little princess, but that's beside the point, it's going to be a healthy baby and I will love it no matter what gender," Arashi said truthfully
"Tch a bit corny don't you think" Obito asked
"Meh I tell it as it is ya know, plus most times it works, if only to just make them smile or laugh" Arashi answered.
"Seriously?" Obito asked
"Yeah but you have to be subtle about it not try to force it ya know, if you try and force then you'll just end up getting slapped or worse" Arashi said
"Right, right" Obito said writing it down in a little notebook he pulled out of nowhere.
-Meanwhile with Kushina and Mikoto-
The two mothers were conversing while Minato slept in his armchair while Hitomi was drawing on his face, Naruto was doing the same to Jiraiya who was just passed out from drinking too much.
"I must say Kushi-chan your daughters are beautiful, just like their mother" Mikoto said complimenting Hikari and Hitomi, "And quite the trickster, Little Hitomi is" she added looking at the youngest Senju drawing cat whiskers on her father's face, this made Kushina and Mikoto giggle.
"Thank Miko-chan, and Hitomi is a little prankster however she isn't as bad as her brother Naruto, her look at this, this is what little Naru-chan did to the Hokage-monument" Kushina said handing Mikoto a photo, ignoring the whiny 'Kā-chan' that came from Naruto from being called Naru-chan,
Looking at the photo Mikoto made no attempt to hide her amusement, giggling behind her sleeve.
"My, my how impressive Naruto-kun, it must of taken a while I'm surprised you weren't caught" Mikoto said praising her adoptive nephew
"Well I had a lot of practice that and most of the chuunin sucked when I was younger" Naruto answered rubbing his neck sheepishly at the praise "How's Sasuke doing Miko-oba-chan?" Naruto asked
"Well he is better however he has secluded himself in his training," Mikoto replied
"Speaking of Sasuke Miko-oba-chan I can take a look at his curse mark tomorrow if you'd like?" Arashi said as he and Tayuya were on their way upstairs. Team Minato having previously returning to their homes
"I would appreciate that a lot Arashi-kun, thank you" Mikoto said bowing her head slightly.
"No problem Oba-chan" Arashi said as he and Tayuya headed upstairs
"Heading to bed already you two?" Kushina asked the newlyweds
"Yeah, we're both really tired and figured an early night would be best" Tayuya replied,
"Okay goodnight you two, and be careful with the baby now?" Kushina said with a sly grin, Tayuya and Arashi turned beat red,
"Don't worry Kā-chan, we'll take it easy" Tayuya replied with a smirk of her own, and with that she dragged her husband upstairs before he could protest.
"Mama why do they need to take it easy, they're only going to sleep right?" Hitomi said when she sat in her mother's lap after finishing her drawings, she had a curios but innocent look on her face
"Well sweetie, they just need to be careful how they lie down on the bed so as not to hurt the baby, do you understand now?" Kushina said smiling at her youngest daughter
"Hai mama" Hitomi said nodding her head.
"Did you take pictures of tou-chan and jī-chan's faces Sochi" Kushina asked Naruto seeing him finished with his little prank on his father and grandfather
"Hai kā-chan, I took multiples as well" Naruto replied grinning, Hitomi had painted her father's face like a cat while Naruto made his grandpa look like a geisha girl. And like his mother asked he had taken pictures as proof of his prank and to keep for record, he mother taught him this as every master prankster took pictures of their pranks so as not to repeat them, to keep a reminder of them and to rub in people's faces.
"Good job Sochi-kun, you too musume, pretty soon you'll be able to out prank your brother and sister soon" Kushina said praising her children,
"Thanks mama/kā-chan" they replied, Hitomi then yawned cutely as she rubbed her eyes
"Let's get you to bed little angel" Kushina said picking Hitomi up and heading for the stairs. "Say goodnight to everyone musume"
"Night nii-chan oba-chan" Hitomi said waving her hand tiredly.
"Good night Hitomi/imōto" Mikoto and Naruto replied. With that Kushina brought Hitomi and placed her in her bed where Hitomi said goodnight and then proceeded to fall asleep.
"So Naruto-kun, how's being a chuunin treating you?" Mikoto asked
"It's a lot harder than being a genin that's for sure, I haven't led any missions yet, but it would be great practice for when I become hokage" Naruto replied
"Oh so you want to be hokage then like your father no doubt" Mikoto said smiling at her adopted nephew,
"Of course, however I'm going to be the best hokage ever, better than tou-chan, Sarutobi-jiijii, Hashirama-jiijii and Tobirama-jiijii ttebayo" Naruto said fist pumping.
"Oh how ambitious of you Naruto-kun," Mikoto replied, "Well you have my support" she added smiling at Naruto who returned it.
After a while Mikoto left with plans to come around the next day, it was around 10:00pm and Tsunade was passed out on the couch and Kushina and Shizune had paced blankets on Jiraiya and Tsunade seeing as they would be sleeping there for a while. Hikari and Honoka were chatting in the kitchen while Karin had gone up a while after Hitomi was brought up, Naruto following after at Kushina's insistence.
It was an hour till Minato decided to wake up from his nap, a little disoriented,
"Wha, what's going on" he asked looking around, looking towards Kushina who was giggling
"Nothing Mina-koi, you just fell asleep for a while" Kushina answered between giggles
"Oh alright, so what do you find so funny then" Minato said raising an eyebrow at his wife's giggling
"Nothing, it's nothing, now I believe it's time we go to bed, you still seem sleepy, just remember to wash your face before getting into bed" Kushina said as she went into the kitchen to tell the two teenaged girls still awake. And with that Kushina and Minato went up to bed with Hikari and Honoka following.
Going into the bedroom the hokage and his wife got ready for bed with Minato obeying his wife by going into the bathroom to wash his face. When he went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror he was met with a surprise
"AHH, Naruto" he shouted finally finding his face had been painted, he could hear the laughter from his wife
"Wrong Minato, it was our littlest princess who painted you a cat face." Kushina said in between breaths when she finally stopped laughing.
"What seriously," Minato said shocked to know his little angel would do something like this to her papa. "Bwaaah, Kushina my baby girl doesn't like me anymore" he cried comically hugging Kushina who then knocked him on the head
"Don't be so ridiculous, Mina-koi she was just having some fun pulling a prank with her older brother ttebane" Kushina said her fist twitching her demeanour pulled 180 as she then started giggling again. "Naruto got his grandpa pretty good" she said as Minato managed to find his way onto the bed.
"Oh okay then" he said as he placed his head on the pillow.
And with that the drifted off to sleep.
-The Next Day-
The first to awake were Arashi and Tayuya as they had an appointment with the maternity ward at the hospital today as it was Tayuya's monthly check up. Tayuya was the first to awaken as she got out of the bed and headed for the bathroom to wash herself. After she was done she got ready, once ready she headed down to the kitchen to get something to eat, settling on a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice she ate in silence until Arashi came in finding something to eat as well.
Once breakfast was finished the couple headed out towards the hospital. As they were walking they met some of the villagers who were getting ready for work, doing some morning shopping etc. once they were spotted the villagers waved at the newlyweds and saying hello and congratulating them on their wedding or the baby, of course the embarrassed couple thanked them.
Once they got to the hospital they signed in at the front desk and headed to the maternity ward where they waited to be called.
Arashi was rubbing Tayuya's swollen baby when a thought occurred to him.
"Hey babe, any ideas yet on a name for the baby?" Arashi asked looking in his wife's face.
"Umm no haven't really given it much thought I guess?" Tayuya said, they were about to think about names but then they were called in by shizune.
"Oba-chan what are you doing here we were expecting a different doctor today seeing as you had a late night" Arashi asked
"No I was called last night for an emergency and I decided to rest in my office, then I remembered about your appointment today so, here I am" shizune answered "Now let's see how your baby is doing" she said getting out the ultrasound machine again as she was setting up she asked some questions
"So Tayuya, have you been eating enough food?" she asked
"Yes more than enough for me and the baby" Tayuya replied
"Any weird cravings?" Shizune said
"Yes, I've been using ketchup as I sauce for nearly everything" Tayuya said, Shizune cringed finding it weird alright
"Yeah I found that weird too but then I tried it with some things like with mashed potatoes and noodles and I like it" Arashi said shrugging, he had also tried it with ice cream, on bagels, toast you name it, hey he had the munchies and couldn't find anything good and he saw Tayuya have her cravings and say hey why not. Poor Shizune looked like she was gonna hurl.
"Okay, have you felt tired more often?" she asked
"Yeah I do normally take a nap in the middle of the day" Tayuya replied with a nod
"Well that's perfectly normal" she said finishing setting up the ultrasound, she then got the tube of gel "I don't think I need to remind you how cold this is going to be" Shizune said with Tayuya glaring at the gel while giving her a nod. The gel was as cold as ever however it passed quickly and Shizune began waving the 'wand' again over Tayuya's stomach.
On the machine, the picture of the baby popped up and unlike the last time they were here, it was easier to spot the baby as it was much bigger than before.
"There we go a very healthy looking baby, and the heartbeat sounds very strong" shizune said as they could all hear the tell-tale thumping of a tiny heart. Tayuya and Arashi couldn't help the motherly smile and goofy grin that appeared on their faces [Obvious who had which smile XD].
"Now it's still too early to tell the sex of the child" shizune told them
"Good we don't want to the sex of the baby until it's born" Tayuya said with Arashi nodding his head in agreement.
"Alright then well, I'm finished here so you can head home now, just tell Okā-san she needs to come soon as she has a lot of paperwork piling up on her desk" shizune said as she put the machine away and cleaned up the examination room.
"Okay, see ya later then Oba-chan" Arashi said as he and Tayuya headed out the door.
When they got outside Tayuya took her husband's arm and snuggled into his side as they walked home. Once they got back to the house Arashi led Tayuya into the house and walked back out.
"I'll see you in a bit Tayuya I need to go sort out that hickey the little Uchiha has" Arashi said
"Kay Hun, I'll most likely be in our room" Tayuya replied.
With that Arashi headed over to the Uchiha Compound, heading straight for the main house. When He walked into the house he called out to Mikoto,
"We're in the sitting room Arashi" Obito replied.
Taking off his sandals Arashi then headed into the sitting room finding Mikoto, Sasuke who was brooding but not as much seeing as he had his mother back but still pretty emo. Rin was sitting next to Obito who was sitting across from his cousins
"Hiya Mikoto-oba-chan, if you want I can get rid of Sasuke's cursed hickey now if you want" Arashi said stepping into the room.
"Oh Yes, if you don't mind" Mikoto said remember Arashi saying he would remove it today
"Yeah I don't mind I had nothing else planned" Arashi said waving off her concern "Alright Sasuke if you can just lie down on the ground we can get the unsealing down.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted complying with Arashi's order.
Arashi began drawing a large sealing array around Sasuke, this was because unlike Anko's curse mark, Sasuke's was sealed already by Kakashi, and poorly. Anyway after he set the Array up he turned to Sasuke.
"Alright squirt now this is going to sting a little and hurt a lot so brace yourself" Arashi told him earning him a glare from the young Uchiha heir.
"Uzumaki Fūinjutsu: Shin no Fukkatsu [Uzumaki Sealing technique: True Resurrection] FUIN" Arashi said after finishing the sequence of hand seals, the array then glowed as it started working it's magic and Sasuke began writhing in pain as the jutsu began unraveling the Curse seal, however what threw Arashi for a loop was the fact that there was a seal on Sasuke's forehead that he hasn't noticed before and it isn't because Sasuke wasn't wearing a hitai-ate (forehead protector) but because the seal was of course hidden,
'Huh it looks like a behavior modifier seal mixed with a memory suppressor seal,' Arashi thought
Those seals however were quickly removed due to the simplicity of them and also the strength of Uzumaki Fūinjutsu. It took a while for Orochimaru's curse seal to break though and Sasuke was still writhing in pain. It took a little longer for the individual layers of the curse seal to be broken seeing as it was a stronger and improved seal from Anko'.
Unfortunately for Sasuke it took an agonizing thirty minutes for the seal to be broken after which he promptly passed out cold from the whole ordeal. Arashi himself was panting from the pure effort that jutsu took on the user.
"There, that's that done," Arashi said wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you so much Arashi, would you like me to fix up a sandwich or anything while you're here?" Mikoto asked him.
"No thanks Miko-ba-chan, but I need to get back home as I promised Tayuya I'd be back before she woke up from her nap, plus there's something I wanna try making for dinner tonight" Arashi replied "But thanks for the offer," he added stepping out of the room.
Upon exiting the Uchiha compound Arashi headed home, however upon reaching the gate he saw the Haruno family, Kizashi and Mebuki with their daughter Sakura, leaving the Senju compound. Arashi rose an eye brow at this.
Shrugging his shoulders Arashi headed into the compound and then into his home.
"Taidama" Arashi said taking his boots off at the front step. He was suddenly glomped by two red-heads with cries of Onii-chan,
"Ahh Arashi-kun Okaeri nasai" his mother said spotting the blonde beneath the masses of red. "Girls please get off your older brother" she said with an amused tone of voice
"Hai kā-chan/mama" they replied pouting a bit. They got off Arashi and dragged themselves to wherever they were going
"So kā-chan what brought the Haruno family over?" Arashi asked remembering that tidbit.
"Oh Little Sakura came by to apologize to Naruto, apparently she was being influenced by an Onryō [Vengeful ghost] that was spurned by her lover, however she became captivated by young Sasuke and that's why Sakura became a fan-girl, however the spirit was weakened when Neji fought Sakura and he sealed her Tenketsu, Kakashi managed to discover the Onryō before it was regained its strength and managed to get a Shinto priestess to Exorcise it." Kushina said
"Huh, well it ain't the daftest thing I ever heard or saw," Arashi said 'I mean I did go up against Zombies for Kami's sake' he thought to himself
"Yeah so when Sakura finally woke up she was completely distraught and secluded herself of staying in her room for weeks, yesterday was when she finally came out again"
"So what does Naruto think of this" Arashi asked
"Well he was shocked but kind of glad that the real Sakura is back now and he can have one of his first friends back" Minato said from his chair in the sitting room as Arashi and Kushina moved to the couch. "How is Sasuke?" Minato asked looking up from his book.
"He's Fine now, however I found a Behavior modifier seal with a memory suppressor seal on top of it. I'm thinking Fugaku-teme placed both on him as he was the only seal master in the Uchiha clan for the longest time" Arashi said, "Well not exactly seal master more like a beginner compare the Uzumaki"
"WHAT, I can't believe that stuck up, no good two faced teme, I swear if he wasn't dead ooh I'd make him wish her were" Kushina said her hair starting to wave about like nine tails, she then went out to the training field to vent some anger.
"So where is Naruto" Arashi asked curious as to where his youngest brother was
"He headed over to Ichiraku's for lunch" Minato replied.
"Oh alright I'm going to go check on Tayuya" Arashi said heading for the stairs.
-With Naruto-
Naruto was heading towards Ichiraku's for his lunch. As he was walking he was thinking about his life so far.
He was glad to have met his older siblings as he couldn't imagine what his life would be like if they hadn't returned home. He'd probably be the attention seeking dobe still most likely and his parents would still be in their comas too.
However what he was thinking of the most was his crush on Ino, sure she was pretty but again it was just a crush and for a while now he began to find himself attracted to Karin, personally he blames the red-hair, cause face it the Senju boys were suckers for the Uzumaki women, first his great great-grandfather Hashirama with Mito-sama, then his own Father with his mother, then his older brother with Tayuya. As much as he'd like to deny it, he couldn't plus he figured that's why he kinda had the crush and sakura when he was younger as pink was kinda close to red.
As he was thinking this he realized that before he could start any kind of relationship with a girl he first wanted to get strong enough to protect them, and so that's what he decided on as he walked through the door belonging to his favorite ramen restaurant
"AH Naruto, what can I get you today" Teuchi said spotting one of his favorite customers
"Five bowls of miso old man" Naruto said taking his usual seat at the bar. Yeah they still had the bar area in the new restaurant this was done for the slow days as not every day would old man Teuchi had a bustling restaurant.
"No problem Naruto, so how's chūnin life treating you so far" Teuchi asked
"It's not much different so far, I've only had missions in the village helping with the renovations and then patrols some nights. Pretty soon I'll be getting missions leading soon so that's something to look forward to" Naruto replied.
"Well good for Naruto, looks like you're that much closer to taking that hat of your father" Teuchi said
"Better believe it ttebayo" Naruto said fist pumping. After a while Teuchi gave Naruto his order and Naruto ate in silence,
Just as Naruto was starting on his final bowl he heard the door opening then closing.
"There you are Naruto, I was looking all over for you" came a familiar female voice, turning his head Naruto came face-to-face with Karin, blushing at the closeness their faces were Naruto became a little flustered.
"K-karin g-gomen, I just came here for some lunch, I told kā-san and Tou-chan where I was going" Naruto stuttered. Cursing his flustered state,
It was then Karin realized herself how close her face was to Naruto's and blushed herself,
"Gomen Naruto I didn't realized how close I was leaning in" Karin said blushing a little more,
You see Karin herself had begun to develop a crush on Naruto, especially after he had saved her from a bear recently as they were on a mission in the forest of death. They had to retrieve some lost Heaven and earth scrolls, while inside the forest Karin got separated from Naruto and Ino and Naruto went to look for Karin, finding her almost about to be killed by a giant Kodiak bear. He managed to get in front of Karin just in time and with a charged rasengan effectively killing the damn bear.
Now Karin was conflicted about her attraction for a while until she asked Kushina about it, however Kushina eased her worries by telling her that because of the fact that Naruto and Karin were so distantly related that it was okay, that and the fact that this kind of relationship wasn't frowned upon seeing as they came from clans, which lets relationships like these blossom so long as it's not brother and sister involved that's still taboo.
"So why were you looking for me Karin" Naruto said regaining his composure
"Oh um well I wanted to know if you wanted to get lunch together but I can see you already had lunch" she said a little disappointed she found him a little too late. Naruto picked up on this so turned to her
"Well I'm up for another few bowls if you want" he said giving his foxy smile.
"Are you sure?" Karin asked
"Sure plus it'll be my treat" he said still smiling.
"Okay then" Karin replied blushing a bit at his thoughtfulness.
So then the two of them enjoyed lunch together while talking about different stuff.
-Back with Arashi-
Arashi was currently in his studio after checking in on Tayuya who was still fast asleep. Arashi was currently going over the lyrics of one of the songs he was finished and he wanted to give it a go after looking over the lyrics. This song was kinda of a tribute to the original Rikudō Sennin who wanted to spread the message of peace, Jiraiya tried something similar with his book tale of a gutsy ninja, so Arashi was mulling it over and came up with the idea for this song.
Finished with the lyrics Arashi nodded to his clones who got to their positions and they got ready to start the song to record it. The original Arashi picked up his flying-v guitar and started off
[Play Holy Wars… The Punishment Due by Megadeth, which I don't own, Dave Mustaine does]
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the
master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be in your homelands
Holy wars
Arashi plays a Egyptian like solo
Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgment
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to
change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
Wage the war on
organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die.
They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake...no more mistakes!
Here Arashi starts a series of solos the main one he only just came up with before he sings the last bit of lyrics.
Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
thinking it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings.
Mercy killings
Mercy killings
Killings
Killings
Killings
Next thing you know they take my thoughts away
[End song]
When Arashi finished playing, he and his clones put everything back and he dispelled the clones. However he was surprised once more when he stepped out of the recording area as his parents, sisters, cousin, and grandparents and aunt where standing there surprised but also clapping.
"Arashi-kun that was amazing" Kushina said glomping her eldest in adoration "Where did you learn to play instruments like that"
Arashi then for the third time told them how he came about playing the instruments he plays. He then told them how Tayuya can also play the guitar and how they already wrote a few songs together but that was one he was writing himself for a long time now.
As they headed back to the house Arashi was thinking once again, he was having ideas about some recipes he'd like to try out sometime and one seemed really good right about now.
"Hey kā-san do you mind if I make dinner tonight there's a recipe I'd like to try out" Arashi asked turning to his mother
"Oh really, well I don't really mind but what's this recipe you're making" Kushina said looking curiously at her eldest
"Well it wouldn't be a surprise now would it" he said winking before disappearing in a yellow flash back towards the house,
He quickly entered the kitchen and locked the doors placing reinforcing seals on the doors to prevent his grandmother, aunt and mother and twin sister from knocking it down. He then took out the flour and other ingredients he needed to make this bad boy. He mixed the flour, yeast some caster sugar and water together. Then kneading it well he then proceeded to flatten it out to make a circular base about 25 inch in diameter. Then he made some tomato sauce mixing in spices such as garlic into the mix and then spread it onto the base then taking some Mozzarella he sprinkled it very good over the sauce covering most of the base he then took some pepperoni and salami and covered a quarter of the base. With this done he place the pizza into the Large oven they had it was a large stone oven and why they had it no one knew but it was coming in use right now.
With the surprise now in the oven in unlocked the seals and doors and was nearly flattened when they burst open
"Arashi Uzumaki-Senju, how dare you, lock the kitchen doors on your mother in her own house, you better have a good excuse young man" Kushina said creating mini-earthquakes with each step. Arashi started sweating bullets as she got closer
"Wait I can explain, I was making something new and I wanted to keep it secret, but with you and Bā-chan around it wouldn't stay secret for long so I reinforced the doors with strengthening seals and locked the doors just in case Bā-chan tried busting the door down. Anyway dinner is in the oven and shouldn't take long, I'm going to go wake up Tayuya" Arashi said poofing away in a Shunshin before he could be grabbed.
"Damn he got away, that boy is too much like he father sometimes ttebane" Kushina said pouting her prey got away.
-With Arashi-
Arashi appeared outside his and Tayuya's room in another poof and went up to the door, turning off the seals he knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Hey babe you up yet" Arashi asked walking up to his side of the bed. He got a mumble as an answer, towards his wife he saw her cutely rubbing the sleep out of her eyes while yawning
"What time is it?" Tayuya asked
"Six in the evening I have dinner cooking at the moment" Arashi said with a warm smile
"Huh, what you cook" Tayuya asked wondering what he made now, on their 'honeymoon' Arashi cooked for them making meals like pasta and lasagna and they were gorgeous.
"Not telling, it's surprise" Arashi said with a wink
"Prick" Tayuya replied with a pout. Arashi chuckled at his wife, they both still cursed at times, but not like they did before living in a house with their mother/ mother-in-law.
"Now, now my dear Koishii, you will find out soon enough, now I think it's time for you to get up, dinner should be in thirty minutes or more, I'll see you in the kitchen" Arashi said, kissing his wife on the forehead.
"Okay, I'll see you downstairs, Koibito" Tayuya said kissing him back on the lips, Arashi then hiraishined [I'm using this instead of flashed from now on, flashed just doesn't sit right anymore] out of the room.
"Fucking prick, could have warned me before he did that, or at least used the door like a normal person" Tayuya said rubbing her eyes
"Ah but then he wouldn't be your mate then would he" Tsukiko told her vessel.
"Yeah, hey Tsukiko how is my baby doing" Tayuya asked, Tsukiko told her that Tailed beasts and demons that are sealed into jinchūriki can tell what's going on in a person's body, especially those who share a symbiotic relationship with their vessels.
"Your kit is doing fine, its growing strong everyday" Tsukiko answered. "Your pregnancy also won't last as long as Kushina's did seeing as the baby isn't drawing from me thanks to the Hakke no Fūin Shiki, in fact I think you might have a shorter pregnancy because the baby is growing so strong so soon" Tsukiko added.
"Seriously," Tayuya said, with a big grin on her face "Yay I get to see my baby sooner" see would jump for joy but she didn't just in case it would make her sick or hurt the baby. Changing into a pair of very lose sweatpants and a t-shirt, Tayuya headed downstairs
-With Arashi-
Arashi appeared back in the kitchen just in time too as when he checked on the pizza he saw that it was finished.
"Huh didn't think it would take that short a time to cook. I completely estimated it wrongly. Oh well, DINNERTIME" Arashi said shouting the last part as he took the pizza out of the oven. He had the pizza on the table in the dining area when everyone made their way in. everyone looked at the pizza and all wondered what it was, but it was Naruto who answered their question.
"Hey aniki, what is that" Naruto said pointing at the pizza
"Pizza otōto, it's a doughy base topped with Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and for those who want some pepperoni and salami" Arashi answered, taking a slice of pizza with the pepperoni and salami. 'Wow just as awesome as I thought it would be'.
Tayuya was the next to take a slice. As she was starving and she was craving something spicy right now. She took a bite and instantly was captivated by the taste
"Oh my god Rashi this is the best thing that I've tasted" Tayuya said.
"Thanks Koishii." Arashi said.
"This is almost as great as ramen ttebayo" Naruto said eating a normal slice.
"Shame on you for keeping this recipe from you dear Kā-chan, Arashi-kun," Kushina said enjoying her own slice of heaven. There were other admissions of enjoyment from the table.
"Don't worry Kā-chan, I'll be giving you the recipe along with several others I have an idea for, I just wanted to give this a try to see how everyone likes it" Arashi replied to his mother's statement "Plus I think from now on will need to be able to make more than one pie anyway"
"That's fine by me Sochi, just don't try and keep any more of these recipes secret from me, now can you put any topping on these pizzas" Kushina said wondering about what you can and cannot put on a pizza
"Well just about anything, but I wouldn't put stuff like vegetables on it, pineapples are okay, myself, I fancy the meats like bits of ham, or bacon, chicken with different spices, even little tiny meatballs are good, mushrooms are also nice, the normal types though" Arashi answered
"That's reasonable enough" Kushina replied, then herself Tayuya and Arashi went into discussion over the different recipes Arashi has done while on his and Tayuya's honeymoon and the ones he still has to try out, he wanted to keep those secret but he was persuaded heavily into telling them.
After dinner Arashi brought Tayuya out to the studio to hear the new song Arashi recorded today, dismissing the fact that she couldn't play with him, she liked the new song.
"Still Rashi, I want to be able to write more songs with you, I mean all we've been doing is writing lyrics and that great and all but I want to be able to play as well" Tayuya said
"I know Hun, I know, but you know it would be awkward as hell holding the guitar and try to play it, however I have a couple of songs that could do with a flute though and there's a couple of songs I think would do better with your voice than mine" Arashi replied
"Seriously, why my voice" Tayuya said taken aback at that,
"Well, one because you have an amazing voice Koishii, and I love hearing you sing, two/ the songs I have in mind need a more feminine touch not saying any of the songs we wrote can be sung by you or any female, but these songs we wrote I wrote them with a female lead singer in mind" Arashi explained. Tayuya blushed at reason one and nodded understanding reason two.
"You really think my voice is that good" Tayuya asked blushing.
"Of course you do" Arashi said with a warm smile. Tayuya blushed more furiously at that. "I heard you singing before when you were reading, and I was captivated, your voice is so melodious, and soft." He explained as they headed back inside, it was getting dark and he was getting tired
"I thought you were asleep" Tayuya said shocked, she was sitting in bed reading one of the pregnancy books for Kunoichi and Arashi was lying beside her in the bed and she assumed he was asleep seeing as he had his eyes closed.
"I was but you woke me up, not that I minded, honey you have an amazing voice and I think you'd be perfect to sing these songs" Arashi said "End of discussion, we'll look over the different songs I have lyrics for tomorrow and we'll go from there, Okay?"
"Okay," she replied, stretching her arms up she yawned as tiredness began to hit her.
"Now let's head to bed I think we're both tired" Arashi said,
"Yeah, it feels like this kid is sapping all of my energy" Tayuya said as they walked up the stairs, they noticed they were the last to head up to bed, if it was any other clan compound they would have to worry about getting guards or locking doors, however because of Minato, Kushina and Arashi, there were many barrier seals that prevented anyone but the family to enter the compound, no one could scale the walls or Shunshin into the compound.
Arashi and Tayuya finally got to their room and got ready to bed. Getting into bed and snuggling up to each other as much as possible without endangering the baby, Arashi kissed his darling wife goodnight.
"Goodnight Tayu-hime, Aishiteru Koishii" Arashi said kissing her on the lips, Tayuya kissed back
"Good night Rashi, Aishiteru Koibito" Tayuya replied snuggling as carefully as she could.
Soon enough the two lovers fell asleep dreaming sweet dreams each about what they think they're child will be like. All anyone knew was that exciting times await for Konoha and the Senju clan specifically.
-End Story-
A/N alright two down three to go.
Alright, now let's recap, Sasuke and Sakura have found out to have been controlled by something weird on both cases, more information on why Sasuke had the behavior modification seal on him later.
Arashi and Tayuya are now officially married, yay XD, and Tayuya finds out she won't have to put up with being pregnant for nine months let alone ten like Kushina, that's because of the difference in seals used. As I am aware of, Naruto's seal, thus Arashi's, Hikari's and Tayuya's is much stronger and works differently than Kushina'. And seeing as the Tayuya's seal is converting some of Tsukiko's chakra to her own this is in turn taken by the baby for its development, hence the shorter pregnancy.
Arashi writes another song. There's actually some cool facts about the song Holy wars by Megadeth, the first part was written after an incident the band had in northern Ireland back in the eighties, during the troubles. The second part is about the character the punisher, I chose the song for two reasons
1/ Arashi is like Naruto he wants to promote peace around the elemental nations and this is one way he came up with.
2/ it's a really great song XD, I mean the main solo is just epic. I recommend listening to it if you haven't already.
Anyway that's all I have to say right now. I need to get to sleep right now, haven't slept much these past couple of days due to school projects. And I spent all day working on these stories.
Anyway stay tuned as next chapter we'll see the return of Itachi, Sasuke apologizing to Naruto, and the start of the mission to snow. So see ya next time.
Don't forget to review.
