Chapter 5
Three hidden rain genin, the rookie nine, team Gai, the Sand siblings, and Kabuto's team stood in the center of a large arena staring up at three shinobi many have never seen before. The first standing to the right caused Sasuke to glare heatedly at, was a fairly beautiful woman with shoulder length black hair, dressed in jonin attire only instead of wearing just the Uchiha as she did before on the back of her flak jacket it was replaced with a new elaborate insignia, the Uzumaki swirl, with four lightning bolts striking inward toward the Uchiha fan, the bolts representing the Namikaze clan signifying her recent addition into the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans while still holding true to her Uchiha blood. On the left was a woman with unparalleled beauty dressed in a red skin tight Kunoichi stocking, shoulder harness, and wielding two kodachi the Uzumaki and Namikaze mixed insignias on her back and shoulders she got a welcomed smiled from her son and his two girlfriends. The one in the middle however gave a certain disguised Sannin pause and fear; he wore a jonin outfit, with a long white sleeveless cloak with red flames on the bottom and the word fourth written along the back.
"Who the heck is that?" came Kiba question. "Where's the third Hokage?"
"He re-entered retirement a lot of things have happened in the last five days that you probably haven't been made aware of, I guess it is a considered a miracle to some and a curse from the heavens to others. My name is Minato Namikaze thirteen years ago I died sealing the nine-tailed biju into my son, most of you even know him," Minato paused chuckling. "Hell I've been told he looks a lot like me, just has his mother's chin and cute little nose."
"BAKA TOUSAN!" Naruto growled thrusting his fist out at his father. Everyone turned to the whiskered mark orange haired saiyan the rookie nine and team Gai minus Sakura, Sasuke, and Hinata looked on in shock.
"W-Wait how are you alive a-and i-is Naruto really your son?" Ino asked nervously having been told on numerous occasions by her parents in the past not to pick on Naruto but ignored them because everyone else was doing it.
"To answer your first question Ms. Yamanaka I'm afraid that is classified, to answer the second yes, Naruto is indeed my son," Minato explained. "As for the nine-tails do to circumstances I didn't even know had occurred I inadvertently sealed someone in with the fox and this person for all intents and purposes obliterated the nine-tails."
"That can't be possible to kill a biju you'd have practically destroy the planet, no one on this earth has that power," Baki stated.
"The person I sealed into Naruto wasn't from this earth he was pulled into our world through some sort of time-space jutsu," Minato stated with a sigh not sure why he would reveal such things but he felt Naruto's friends needed to know he wasn't a threat to them. "The fox is dead and has been for thirteen years."
"What of the person that killed the fox is he still sealed inside Naruto?" Shino asked.
"A very perceptive person you are Shino, no the man died and was resurrected in the same way my wife and I were," Minato smirked internally purposely leaving out the fact that his son got all the biju slaying power when the man died.
"Minato-kun, let's get on with the closing speech thingy," Kushina pouted.
The blonde hokage sighed shaking his head, "not time yet Kushi-chan I count 21 bodies, that needs to go down unless there are people willing to drop out," Kabuto was the sole person to do so, leaving twenty left. "Okay Hayate, looks like you're up."
"*cough* Understood Hokage-sama," a man walked up looking a little worse for wear bags under his eyes and a pale waxy complexion. "To thin the numbers we will be having a preliminary one on one tournament, hopefully to get the number down to ten or less."

Orochimaru stood in the shadows seething as Kabuto appeared, "Our plans will need to change, there is no way the invasion will succeed, Suna will likely pull out now out of fear."
"Yes, the fourth Hokage being resurrected in some way and within the last five days, I don't understand how that is possible?" Kabuto stated looking confused.
The snake sannin frowned going through the events in the last week that could have caused such a drastic change in events he then remember during his little meeting with Anko he felt something akin to compressed killer intent centered around where he left Sasuke and his teammates, with the recent revelation that the fox had been killed and the only thing sealed in the jinchuuriki was an unknown male with the power to kill a biju, left him with only one theory. When he slapped the Five Prong seal on the Namikaze gaki he started the chain of events or hastened them. Unless it's a ploy of Sarutobi-sensei's in some way do I take the chance, the sannin thought a moment, "We alter it slightly in form our forces to proceed with caution, and I want Tayuya to stay behind."
Little did Orochimaru know that Karin Uzumaki and Kin Tsuchi were currently spilling what they knew about Orochimaru's operation and invasion plans without even being coaxed, both having concern for their shared friend, one having been rescued from a beating and possible rape and the other finding out she had family in Konoha.

Shino watched as his opponent dropped looking like he was wasting away, "your Genjutsu failed, why because my kikai insects detected the illusion and negated them while you stood back confidently they snuck in behind you and began eating away your chakra. In the future you will learn not to assume anything."
"Winner of the match Shino Aburame," Hayate stated as medic-nin appeared to help the Ame genin as said genin passed out. Naruto looked on bored out of his mind, everything seemed to move almost in slow motion for him, during each match he could easily find sixty different holes in each person's fighting style, Sasuke's he could see he left his back far too open, Tenten was entirely to weapon based any decent long range jutsu could cripple her and did as Temari systematically destroyed her, with her wind based jutsu. Shikamaru was probably the only one he couldn't really get a read on but that was because the lazy genius ended the match quickly. The puppet user relied way too much on his dolls and probably sucked royally with taijutsu. Sakura as much as he loved her, the academy taijutsu just didn't suit her it made her look awkward, she needed something a little more up close and personal. He had been teaching her how to bring out her ki but barely three days of instruction was not enough so she and Ino ended up in a draw for their match, but mostly it was Sakura apologizing to Ino for ruining their friendship over someone not worth their time.
"ALL Right, look at that Akamaru we got a breeze fight," Kiba stated ignoring his companion whimpering. Naruto glanced at the sign and smirked jumping up to the railing then jumping down. He walked into the center of the room next to the proctor crossing his arms waiting for Kiba who was having trouble with Akamaru. "What's wrong with you this'll be easy, I don't care if he's the son of the fourth hokage. He's still a dobe."
Naruto snorted glancing up at Kiba, "Maybe you should leave your master alone Kiba it's obvious he doesn't want to fight."
Kiba growled jumping down, "Oh that is it I'm going to wipe the floor with you dobe."
"Doubtful," looking up at the Akamaru Naruto smirked again, "You should have your pet trained more Akamaru he's getting quite rabid, maybe someone should knock him down a few pegs. Well since I'm here I'll volunteer, but know this Kiba you'll never lay a hand on me."
Kiba scoffed, "Fine then I guess I'll use my feet." The wild looking teen dropped into his family's taijutsu stance while Naruto hadn't moved an inch arms still crossed over his chest watching Kiba with a bored expression.
"Gggrrrr!" Kiba charged forward. "Fang over Fang!" his body moving in a horizontal tornado toward Naruto everyone gasped as Kiba seemed to go right through the orange haired saiyan. When the wild looking boy skid to a halt he looking worried afraid he accidently killed Naruto only to turn and see Naruto hadn't moved and completely unscathed. "W-W-What I hit you!?"
"Strike one, Kiba. I'll give you two more chances to hit me and then you're out," The whisker marked saiyan stated.
Growling in anger he performed another Fang over Fang skidding to a halt and turning around he saw again that Naruto was not only unharmed but he actually yawned. "Is that it I must say Kiba this is beginning to bore me."
The Inuzuka heir was beside himself with rage and a small amount of fear he hit Naruto his best jutsu twice and nothing happened. Running forward this time Kiba launched into a series of strikes and kicks none of which connected. "How…is…this…possible?" Kiba gasped taking two steps back.
Naruto shrugged, "Simple you're too weak to challenge me and that was strike three by the way," reaching up with his index finger and appeared to lightly tap Kiba on the forehead. The 'tap' sent Kiba flying into the far wall after he slumped to the ground Hayate ran over to checking him. "He's alright, I held back a lot, most he'll have will be a few cracked ribs and maybe a concussion."

Naruto quietly jumped back up to the railing landing next to Kurenai and her students. "Sorry, Kiba kind of set me off."
"I-It's okay N-Naruto-kun," Hinata replied giving him a shy smile, while Shino simply grunted adjusting his sunglasses.
With a slight shake of his head Naruto stepped closer to Hinata who blushed lightly, "You got such a pretty voice Hinata-chan, need to work on not stuttering," he smiled softly causing the girl to turn redder if that was possible. Before she could say anything Naruto brought her in and gave her a gentle kiss.
N-Naruto-kun kissed me, h-he kissed me," Hinata swooned before falling forward into Naruto's arms.
Sakura sighed, "really need to break her of that."
"Yep, wedding night will get really boring if she keeps passing out after every kiss," Naruto chuckles.
Sakura snorts, "what about each article of clothing she'll have to remove."
Hinata woke up long enough to hear them say that before she fell backward with from a nosebleed, "Oh Naruto-kun," she whispered.
"Hinata-chan," Naruto shook his head a smile still on his face then turned to Sakura, "might have to help her in the clothing removal department, Sakura-chan."
Rolling her eyes Sakura gently fanned the Hyuga heiress, "oh no," she whispered dread in her voice. Hinata slowly woke to see her name and the last person she wanted to face.
"Neji-nisan," Hinata whispered nervously.
Watching the glare Hinata was getting from her cousin Naruto stepped forward gently putting his hands on her shoulders kissing her forehead, "Win or lose Hinata-chan prove to him that you are not weak."
The Hyuga heiress nodded her face set with determination she walked down the stairs walking up and standing across from her cousin. "You are fated to lose here Hinata," Neji sneered.
"Neji-nisan, shut up," Hinata stated in a surprisingly cool tone sliding into her gentle fist stance.
Neji scowled sliding into his stance, "fine it seems you'll need to be re-educated in learning your place, Hinata!"
"One simple gesture would be all I need to end the fight Neji-nisan you know that, but you also know I'll never use it cannot bare to cause you or any other Branch member pain, as one of Naruto-kun's betroths I can ask the Uzumaki clan to find a way to negate the pain inducing aspects of the Caged Bird seal and have every member of the clan use it as it was intended to be used," Hinata explained as both she and Neji went into a series of strikes and near misses.
"You are deluded, the Main branch will never accept it," Neji replied.

Watching the fight from a distance Naruto had to admire the forms however he noted Hinata had trouble with it, the ridged form seem to hamper her natural flexibility. With a sigh, "She's losing, her form is just too choppy she over extends her arms when she needs to spin and kick," a frown formed.
"And what makes you an expert on taijutsu forms, dobe," Sasuke scoffed.
"Funny you should taunt, wuss," Naruto stated causing the male Uchiha to growl. "That guy who killed the Biju he gave me all his skills and experiences before he died and was revived, that included all his knowledge in various combat styles. So shut up, I wasn't talking to you, teme I was talking to Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan."
Sasuke seethed to himself clenching and unclenching his hands, How strong did the dobe become and where can I get that strength!

Vegeta landed outside Goku home looking around he noted that it was far bigger than it had been before Videl had entered Gohan's life. With her married into the family the Son homestead had expanded to include a bigger main house, an apartment for Goten, and a small library and office for Gohan to do whatever research that intrigued him. He came to the entrance to the main house and heard Kakkarot's woman growling. Looking through the door he saw the woman cleaning like she was in a war. Entering the house he watched her and notice how tense she was, "What is wrong with you?" he asked aloud.
Chi Chi spun around clutching her duster holding it like a sword, she blinked a moment before she sighed, "Just cleaning."
"Sounded more like you were trying to kill your floor," Vegeta snorted. "I'm looking for Kakkarot."
"Out, past the radish field, he's training Goten again," Chi Chi stated mournfully walking over and sitting at her dining table.
Uptight, moody, and I heard longing I wonder how long it has been since Kakkarot mated with her? Vegeta left the house lifting off lazily floating over the radish field having a fond memory of it, drawing radishes to determine who would fight two of Frieza's leftovers. Beyond was a large canyon where he spotted two dots below sparring and wrecking the surrounding the area. Landing just as Goku finished a combo sending Goten flying, "Kakkarot."
Goku fell out of his stance, "Oh hey Vegeta, what's up?"
"I've come to ask you to use your Instant Transmission to get me to that Shinobi world I died in," Vegeta stated.
"Um, I need to see it first before I can go there," Goku explained.
"Blast it," Vegeta softly growled, a part of him the more caring part that Bulma helped cultivate and meeting the orange haired boy help solidify though he would go to his grave to deny wanting to protect said boy, granted the boy probably didn't need any protection in his world as the strongest being he could sense from inside the boy match that of Zarbon in his transformed state, which was someone Naruto could easily handle. Still the saiyan prince felt he needed to protect one of his subjects. Thinking quickly through his options maybe talking to one of the Kai's. "Which of the four Kai's runs that realm, Kakkarot?"
"Hmm, if it's alternate universe I suppose we'd have to talk the Supreme Kai of Space, she's the sister of the Supreme Kai of Time, and not nearly as cheerful," Goku explained while he was portrayed as a dimwit most of the time, Goku had a fairly decent education during his time in Other-World on the ways and means of what the Kai's protected and just how many there were. He was even offered the job of Supreme Kai from Kabito-Kai, seeing as how Goku was already doing that job protecting his realm. Goku wanted to wait until he died of natural causes before he take the job, that way he know Chi Chi would be with him in Other-World which was his other stipulation. Kabito-Kai agreed to it. "Um, couldn't we use the dragon balls?"
The saiyan prince smacked himself in the head grunting at the pain, "Bulma has them at the house, another one of her bingo tournaments she holding for Trunks's birthday this year."
"Oh yeah, heh, just hope the God of Destruction is still sleeping this time. I'm still not strong enough to beat him," Goku pouted slightly.
"Only you would train for a rematch against a god," Vegeta snorted. "Aside from that, your woman looks tense Kakkarot," as both he and Goku took to the air unseen signal from them both to begin flying toward Capsule Corps.. Goku waved to Goten who waved back lifting off to head back home. "When was the last you mated with her?"
Goku blushed slightly then started to think, "Um," he paused in his thoughts.
"If you're thinking about it, then you clearly don't mate enough with her no wonder she's uptight," Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Um, how many times with Bulma," Goku asked.
"At least twice a week or more depending on her mood," the saiyan prince explained. "And she's always in the mood, it wouldn't surprise me if your woman is taking to using her laundry chores to satisfy herself."
Goku looked a little chagrined he had been so focused on training to fight the next big threat that would appear he been neglecting his husbandly duties, the fact that Vegeta had pointed it out made him feel worse. "Right, when we finish making sure this Naruto is good I'll go home and make up for lost time."
Vegeta grinned slyly, "Your welcome, Kakkarot."
Rubbing the back of his head the naïve hero chuckled weakly, "So what are you going to use your second wish for?"
"I don't know," Vegeta hadn't really thought about it he had hoped that wouldn't have needed the dragon balls.
"Maybe you know wish for Bulma, Videl, and Chi Chi to become Saiyans or something," the naïve hero stated casually scratching his chin in thought.
The saiyan prince came to an abrupt halt floating in the air eyes the size of saucers before he groaned slumping his shoulders. Now I feel like a real baka, the amount of times we wished using the dragon balls and that has never occurred to me, only for this naïve man child to figure it out is infuriating. Not dignifying an answer Vegeta launched forward Goku quietly following with a completely clueless expression on his face.

Bulma placed the Dragon Balls in the center of her backyard and stood back, "Well Vegeta they're all yours."
The saiyan prince stepped forward looking down at the seven balls that at one time he wanted to make the wish for immortality with. Now some fifteen years later he was presented with them free to make any wish he chose and the thought of immortality was in the back of his mind. What good is immortality without Bulma, if I gave her the same she'd grow into despair after losing her friends and our son to the ravages of age. I have found something much more long lasting than merely being able to live forever. I'm satisfied with how things turned out. "Come forth Shenron and grant my two wishes!"
The sky darkened and lightning danced across the sky before a massive form shot from the seven balls taking the shape of a coiled dragon who stared down. "What wishes may I grant so I can leave?"
"Two years ago Parunga revived two souls and sent them back to their realm I would like Kakkarot and I to go to this realm, is this possible?" Vegeta asked.
"It can be done, what is your second wish?" the massive dragon asked.
"That all saiyan's with mates be turned into saiyans if that is possible?" Vegeta questioned.
"The ones known as Bulma, Chi Chi, Videl, Sakura, and Hinata can be turned into Saiyans as they are genetically similar to the Saiyan race, the one known as Gure cannot as her genetic makeup is different from that of the Saiyans." The dragon eye's glowed Bulma looked on in confusion for a second she scream as her physiological structure started to rewrite, before Vegeta could go to his wife's aid both he and Goku vanished. "It is done farewell."
