Last time: While in Ame to pick up Team Gai, Kyuubi's mechanics, Sakura was kidnapped by Oboro, the vengeful student of Hanzo the Salamander. Kyuubi went berserk after Naruto was poisoned trying to save his girlfriend, forcing Kiba to use his Werewolf Gundam for the first time. After being defeated, Oboro remembered his master's words and placed his faith in Naruto. Now the Konoha 11 are back home and waiting for the contestants from other countries to arrive.
Chapter 3: Enter The Toad Sage and Gaara of the Sand!
Konoha
12:00pm
With a population of 5 million, the hidden leaf village was widely regarded as the best of the 5 element villages to live in, followed by Water and Sand. The village was currently led by Lady Hokage Tsundae Senju, 5th generation of her family to do so.
Attractions include: Hokage Monument, Ichiraku's ramen bar and the Namikaze-Mansion, which Naruto and Tenten were currently standing in front of, having parted ways with their team to check on family.
"It's good to be back in home, sweet home." He smiled before turning to his cousin.
"I hear you." Tenten smiled. "I hope mom and dad are okay. You know how Naruko can get…."
"Big brother!"
Naruto turned to see a 7 year old girl with blonde pigtails and whisker birthmarks running toward him, her arms outstretched and an infectious smile, which he quickly returned as he opened his arms. This was his loving, utterly adorable little sister….
"Naruko!"
His sister ran right past him, unzipping his backpack and throwing everything out.
"What did you bring me?"
So much for loving. More like greedy little brat….
Naruto pouted and reached behind his back. Tenten giggled at her cousins.
"The Tuxedo Mask plushy you wanted so badly?" Naruto groaned as he pulled a toy from behind his back.
Naruko grabbed the plushy and hugged her big brother.
"Thank you, Nary!" she smiled. "Now I can play all the romantic parts of Sailor Moon!"
"Naruko, greet your brother properly."
A beautiful woman appeared on the scene, a warm smile on her face. This was Rain Kasshu, Naruto's aunt and Tenten's mother. Mother and daughter embraced as the siblings caught up.
"Thanks for watching her, auntie Rain." Naruto smiled, taking Naruko into his arms on placing her onto his shoulder.
"Not a problem, Naruto." Rain smiled. "Naruko's a little angel."
"To you anyways" Naruto and another voice grumbled. Naruto glanced and spied his uncle standing on the doorstep.
"Uncle Domon!" Naruto smiled, placing Naruko onto the ground.
The two jumped forward and began what anyone else would consider an odd greeting.
"Here they go again…" Rain sighed.
"Can't believe I wanted to do this…" Tenten smiled sheepishly.
"What?" Naruko asked.
"Just watch." Tenten said, pointing to her father and cousin.
"The School of the Undefeated of the East!" Domon growled as he circled his nephew.
"The winds of Kings!"
"Zenshin!" Domon unleashed a blur of punches that moved so fast it appeared he had 12 arms.
"Keiretsu!" Naruto blocked every single hit, his arms blurring with his uncle's.
"Tempa Kyouran!"
They then punched, flames suddenly appearing beside them.
"LOOK!" The shouted. "THE EAST IS BURNING RED!"
"Auntie Rain?" Naruko asked, sweat dropping. "Why are boys crazy?"
"This is nothing." Tenten smirked. "You should see them when they try to get girlfriends. Take your brother for example. Ever hear of the Valentine Velociraptor?"
"Yeah?"
"That was him."
While Naruko listened to stories of her brother, nephew and uncle caught up.
"Thanks again for looking after Naruko, uncle." Naruto said. "I know she can be a real handful…"
"Don't worry. Besides, I'm sure your mom's giving ROOT hell that makes Naruko look like an angel…." Domon smirked, his nephew following in suit.
"True that."
ROOT base Underground Level
1:30pm
Esibu wiped the steaming hot broth and noodles off his face.
"One of these days…" he growled, only to be cut short by a spoon hitting him in the back of the head.
"AND NEXT TIME, COOK MY RAMEN PROPERLY, MORON!" Kushina Uzumaki roared as she threw the bowl at Esibu. "I MAY BE A PRISONER OF YOUR BOSS' BULL-CRAP, BUT I SET THE STANDARDS THAT GOT YOU YOUR JOB! A DECENT MEAL A'INT A LOT TO ASK FOR, YA KNOW?"
Throughout ROOT, all agents begged to whichever being was up there that they wouldn't have to put up with her for very long.
"What the hell was Danzo thinking?" Sai, a young intern, asked himself as he tried to finish a sketch for one of ROOT's projects.
At that moment, Danzo came in to see if he could get any information out of Kushina. This time, he brought his mind reading aide Fu to help him by illustrating whatever Kushina was thinking.
"W-what is this?" Danzo asked, terrified of the image Fu showed him when he finished analyzing Kushina's will:
Danzo was in Kushina's lap, wailing like a child as she spanked him with an iron glove covered in spikes, an evil smile on her face.
"Your destiny, Cyclops-mummy!" Kushina grinned evilly.
"What the hell was I thinking?" Danzo cringed.
"Get dressed, sis." Naruto smiled. "You're coming with me and Sakura on our date tonight."
"Yippee!" Naruko laughed as she ran off to get ready.
"Thanks again." Naruto called to his uncle and aunt as they left with Tenten for their hotel. "See you on Monday, cous!"
Naruto then bounded up to his room to deposit his backpack and find some appropriate attire for this special night.
"Hey boss!"
Naruto turned to see a familiar trio of faces; his self-proclaimed 'student' Konohamaru Sarutobi and his pet toads Gamkichi and Gamatatsu.
"Hey Konohamaru, how's it going?"
"Boring." The boy groaned. "Without you on, nothing cool happens."
"You took care of Naruko, right?" Naruto asked, a smile on his face. Konohamaru grinned proudly before Naruto suddenly pulled him in and whispered:
"Listen up. Best friend or not…you try anything with my baby sister, you will answer to me, got it, punk?"
Konohamaru nodded weakly as Naruto let out a toothy grin.
"Good boy. Now go home before your grandpa calls and starts accusing me of corrupting you."
After feeding the two toads, Naruto went to his closet and searched for what he considered his lucky date wear.
Haruno Mansion
6:30
"Big sister Sakura!"
The pink haired girl saw her boyfriend's little sister and embraced her in a warm hug before taking a good look at her boyfriend himself.
"A regular tux?" She mused. "Where are we going?"
"Oh, no where special." Naruto smiled. "It's the event that's special. Are you ready, cherry blossom?"
"Mom! Daddy!" Sakura hollered. "I'm heading out! I'll be back on Wednesday!"
Kozumi and Mebuki Haruno then came out and smiled at her daughter's company.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Haruno." Naruto and Naruko smiled, bowing respectfully.
"Take care!"
"Always have, always will!"
Ichiraku's Ramen House may not have been the fanciest eatery, but it was an Uzumaki favorite. In fact, many people theorized that the Uzumaki family paid for the whole restaurant, they ate at it so often….
Tonight however, it was rented out for their number one customer, his sister and girlfriend of four years.
"Delicious!" Naruko smiled as she finished her 3rd bowl.
"The food of the gods!" Naruto beamed as he started his fifth bowl's broth. His girlfriend smiled at the siblings' love of the food.
Sakura leaned on Naruto's arm, enjoying the warmth.
"So, whats so special about tonight?" Ayame, the co-cook smiled knowingly, her father along with her.
"Yeah big brother, what?" Naruko glanced as she wiped her mouth.
Naruto smiled as he got off his seat and felt around his suit for something.
Sakura's eyes starting brimming with tears as her boyfriend got on his knees and pulled out a small box.
"Sakura…." Naruto started. "Ever since I was six, you've been the only girl I've liked. You've been my best friend, my tutor, a shoulder to cry on when life gets to be too much. A few years ago, we became a couple…the best thing that ever happened to me. My uncle and dad were hesitant and it nearly cost them…I don't want to be like that. I understand if you want to wait, but…Sakura Haruno, when all this is over, will you spend your life with me, as my…my…"
The young man struggled with the last word. Whoever said purposing to the love of your life was easy had obviously not been as deeply in love as he was.
"….wife?"
The box popped open, revealing a jade and diamond ring shaped into a cherry blossom.
Naruko eyed the pretty ring in child-awe. She hoped Konohamaru would get her that nice a ring when they got married.
"Yes!" Sakura answered. "Yes, you baka!"
The two then embraced, causing the two owners to smile and Naruko to start dancing in joy, finally having her big sister. Time seemed to slow as the newly engaged couple kissed, wanting this happy moment to last forever.
Unknown Location
Same time
In his room, Nagato cried tears of joy as he watched the proposal via surveillance.
"If he makes it out of this alive, please keep him happy, Sakura." He smiled. "And for the love of god, don't let him name any kid after me."
Konan, who had been watching over his shoulder, smiled.
"Why couldn't you have purposed to me like that?" she pouted. "And since when do we have surveillance cameras in your favorite restaurant?"
"KONAN-CHAN!" Nagato screamed in embarrassment, something he'd never let down when he learnt his subordinates had overheard.
"How beautiful."
Naruto and Sakura looked over their shoulders to see the village elders watching the scene. Old lady Koharu was smiling fondly while Homura and Danzo had straight faces.
"Hello, boy." Danzo said.
Naruto glared at the elders and motioned for Sakura to let him handle this.
"What do you want?" He snapped. The less he saw of these three, the better.
"To offer our thanks for doing so well." Homura answered. "You're represnting Konoha well."
"I could care less about Konoha's reputation." Naruto hissed. "Is my mother okay?"
"A better question would be are the people handling her okay." Danzo growled. "That woman has sent 10 ROOT to the hospital. All while complaining how weak we are. Excuse me for not being born with chakra."
"Go away, old guys!" Naruko hissed as she punched at Danzo's leg. "That's our mommy your talking about."
"Naruko!" Naruto exclaimed as he pulled his little sister away.
"Is there a problem here?"
All turned to see a boy with blood red hair, a gourd on his back and the symbol of love on his forehead.
"Gaara?"
"Naruto?"
The two young men slowly grinned and raced to each other.
Sakura remembered Gaara; he'd been an anti-social kid who looked for fights and visited with his family during a hokage meeting. He and Naruto had picked a fight with each other:
Said fight leveled a small bit of downtown and left both boys exhausted and grinning like idiots. In typical boy behavior, they became best friends after that.
The two friends embraced and shed what they would later swear were 'manly' tears.
"What the heck are you doing here?" Naruto asked, happy to see his friend, ignoring the elders as they said goodbye.
"I'm having dinner with Matsuri." Gaara explained, pointing to a shy brunette sitting next to him at the neighboring café. Matsuri shyly waved.
"I'm also piloting the Shukaku Gundam for Suna in the Gundam exams."
"I guess we're rivals for now." Naruto smiled, motioning for a handshake.
"Only for now…my ultimate defense has been waiting your family burning and spirals." Gaara grinned. The two boys then hugged before returning to their company.
"He's scary…" Naruko whispered to sister.
"He's actually really nice." Matsuri voiced. "A little awkward…but really nice."
The trio finished their meal and headed off to the Uzumaki home, wishing the Ichirakus a good night.
Androids with strange gate embelms suddenly ambushed them.
"I hate fighting in these clothes." Sakura groaned.
"Naruko, cover your eyes."
The newly engaged couple easily took care of their attackers before another bacth appeared.
"Rise Kyuubi…"
"Wait!"
A burst of smoke appeared before a hooded figure appeared.
"Keep Gundam activity to a minimum and keep moving, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." The figure whispered.
"How the heck do you know my name?"
"Hold that thought."
The figure then sliced through a robot with his hair
"Cool!" Naruko beamed.
"I've seen that move…" Naruto said aloud.
The mysterious man then stood in a praying stance before his eyes changed and a sphere of energy appeared in his right hand. He slammed the sphere into another robot before kicking the remaining two too far away for a normal human.
"Perverted hermit…." Naruto gasped. "Jiraiya."
"Pervy grandpa?" Naruko asked.
"Jiraiya?" Sakura asked, "Your godfather? The sage martial artist and one of the Sannin?"
"Sannin?" Kiba suddenly yelled. "Legendary uncle, badass parents, hero brother and sage god father? IS THERE ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY WHO ISN'T BADASS?"
"When'd you get here, Mr. Dog?" Naruko asked as the rest of team Konoha appeared.
"The name's Kiba!"
Next time: The other contestants enter Konoha and two secret organizations are revealed as Naruto finally meets his match….
