Wow I didn't expect my story to hit that many favs, follows, and views. Here's the Next chapter, released earlier than planned. Now you'll find out who brought them over, and why Kakashi and Jiraiya were seemingly absent on chapter 1. Also, its gonna be sasu, sak, council bash mainly. I'll prob bash a buncha other characters too.
Before I get on to the story, I took a look at the reviews for chapter 1 and really liked on of it. The favorite review because its funny goes too..
Sir Cherubius! Reason: He made a reference to John Cena at the appropriate time.
Also to answer some reviews, This is a strictly NaruHina story. For the one reviewer that asked for Naru/Ten, sorry. If I did that then my planned pairings would get screwed.
Enough talk, though. LET'S GET ON TO THE CHAPTER
Seven years later
The Imperial Palace of the West was a sight to see. Its majestic building along with its vibrant culture could be the envy of any nation. The gardens were filled with beautiful and rare flowers, all neatly organized to enhance the view. Inside the building, there was majestic red carpets with golden linings. Any place the carpet was not touching was high-quality wood, and the walls were made of finest materials. Doors were made of the best quality, and each door knob and intricately designed. On the walls were paintings, made by the most skilled artists. What were the paintings of? The subject was, of course, the Emperor himself. Each painting could be seen with him in it, fighting and bleeding in war. Other paintings were peaceful ones, some of it with his 'family.'
Most people knew that this family had come from the East with one of theirs. Most of them scoffed when they first saw them, but they proved themselves to be worthy. After years of fighting and negotiating with various Warlords, they rose and formed this new Empire, the Empire of the West. In the centuries of fighting, there was finally peace in this land.
Now, warlords who had fought against each other for blood and land now pledged loyalty to the Emperor.
The man himself was sleeping on a king-sized bed, slightly drooling. With his sun-kissed blonde hair, the man's most noticeable part of his face was the whiskers. Beside him was a beautiful woman with long dark blue hair and was currently cuddling with the emperor himself. Soon, the sun was up, the birds were singing, and...
SPLASH!
Both of them woke up with a water balloon thrown at their face.
"Time to wake up!"
Sputtering, Naruto and Hinata woke up, naked from their "activities" last night. Standing on the balcony was the man who brought them over to the West, Yusuke Urameshi. Next to him was a six-year-old pink haired girl named Yachiru Kusajishi.
"Heheheh! King-san and Booby-chan are awake!"
"You'll pay for that!" Naruto roared as the two pranksters quickly jumped off running. Before he launched himself out the window, Hinata grabbed him back.
"You don't want to go out without any clothes. I'm the only one who's allowed to see you in all your glory," said Hinata.
Blushing, Naruto quickly put on some clothes. Before leaving to chase them, he kissed Hinata soundly before leaving. Hinata stretched her arms up before relaxing, letting her impressive bust jiggle a little. She looked out the window before getting dressed.
As Yusuke and Yachiru were running from Naruto again, who was throwing random items at them to stop again, they passed by four people.
"There he goes again. Honestly, you'd think he would act his age for once, and not corrupt little children, too." Sighed Tenten as she was holding to Neji's hand. They had married around the same time Naruto and Hinata did, making it a double wedding. When they had first arrived at the West, there were so many things for them to learn. Luckily, Yusuke was there to help them, along with his friends. Although Hiei with his sarcastic manner would usually piss them off. After a year of living with them, Naruto then had the dream of uniting the lands, making it peaceful. At first, many laughed, but Yusuke thought it was a good idea. Since then, they went to other warlords and fought for lands, negotiated on others, and learned different skills. Tenten went under the tutelage of a ninja clan, who was led by Yuffie Kisaragi.
"I think Yachiru was already like that before Yusuke even reached him," replied Neji. He took the gentle fist to new heights after fighting so many different masters, especially those from the building of Ryozanpaku, where he trained with their grand disciple. The masters still kicked his butt after all these years, but he was closing the gap a little. Although small in members, each of their members was accomplished masters in their art.
Hanabi and Konohamaru nodded in agreement with Neji. These two young shinobis were a couple a year after uniting the West. They kept arguing with each other so much before, but in the end, Konohamaru just gave up, grabbed her, and kissed her. Hanabi blushed so hard that she showed that she was indeed Hinata's sister and fainted. Both of them had learned so much from learning under Naruto and Neji, following them as their guides.
"Stop moving!" yelled Naruto as he started to throw kunais. Yusuke and Yachiru were still laughing as they ran out to the sparring grounds. Here, sounds of swords and other weapons clashed clanging against each other could be heard. Yachiru quickly climbed up to the shoulder of Zaraki Kenpachi.
"Ken-san, King-san not happy about a joke!" she giggled.
"Yachiru, we discussed this, don't climb onto me when I'm fighting," groaned Kenpachi.
His opponent was actually Kisame, who just shrugged.
"Eh, we can fight later. Looks like Emperor's up anyways."
On the side sipping his tea was Itachi. He just calmly greeted Naruto before returning back to his tea.
"Its almost time for the Unification festival Naruto-sama," Itachi said as he sipped his tea.
"Glad you have to deal with the paperwork," laughed Yusuke. When they had unified all of the West, Naruto had expected Yusuke to become emperor and was prepared to serve him. Then Yusuke just dumped it all into his lap, saying he wasn't suited for it, and that he needed to spend more time with his wife Keiko. Naruto shuddered. Keiko was a mere civilian, and yet she could easily tame them all with her fist. Even Kisame didn't try to actively piss her off on the threat she would make sashimi and shark fin soup. Having a powerful husband that could do that helped. Plus, everyone agreed Naruto had more charisma and leadership talent.
Suddenly, a ninja appeared from the shadows. These ninjas had been trained to truly lie in the shadows, unlike the Eastern shinobi's where flashy Jutsu's were used. The Brotherhood, once an independent guild of assassins, were joined by others and truly perfected the art of silent death.
"My lord, two men wish to meet you. They claim to have intimate knowledge of your life back from the East."
Suddenly, the atmosphere went cold. Naruto's life back at the East, along with all the other Easterners, were public knowledge except for Kisame. Nobody really cared since they knew he was violent and loved fighting, but was loyal enough.
"I see. Have them meet me in the royal throne room. I'll be there shortly," Naruto growled. The ninja walked into the shadows and melded in, disappearing from sight.
Naruto walked into the throne room to see two people he would have never imagined ever seeing. Especially since they never even saw him or say anything to him in the first place.
"Jiraiya, Kakashi. What the hell do you two want."
"Now, now, no need to get so hostile," said Kakashi, "Especially since we're not with Konoha 't been for a long time."
Naruto stopped at that sentence, completely confused and surprised.
"Let us explain what happened after you were banished," said Jiraiya.
Flashback
"Jiraiya-sama, you came back from your lead?" asked Kakashi as he was walking back to the village.
"It was a dead-end for Akatsuki. Nothing new from it," replied Jiraiya.
Kakashi had been out for a mission while Jiaraya was following a lead. They met up and were currently walking back to Konoha.
"Been a few days since I've been gone," said Kakashi. "Hopefully, the boys aren't fighting again. I was surprised to see Naruto learn the Rasengan. I had to lecture Sasuke about using Chidori on allies again before I left. Hopefully, our talk made him behave."
"Hmm doubt it. Sasuke wants power. Hopefully, Tsunade-hime was able to reign him in." mused Jiraiya.
They soon entered the gate to see a huge festival going on. Everyone was drinking and celebrating about something.
"Huh, whats the festival for?" asked Kakashi. He saw a random jounin pass by and asked.
"You don't know Kakashi? Today's a great day. We've finally banished the Demon yesterday!"
"WHAT!" said Kakashi and Jiraiya darkly. The jounin was too drunk to notice the tone change.
"Yea, the council finally decided to banish that Kyuubi-brat from Konoha on the premise of death. Banishments too good for that kid, though. Should've executed him for harming Uchiha-sama. You should be happy, Kakashi. No more having to pretend to care about that HURKK!"
The jounin couldn't find himself speaking anymore as Kakashi had suddenly lifted the jounin by his throat. His hiate was already lifted, showing his Sharingan in full blaze
"You've broken the Sandaime's law in front of children. Any last words?" growled Kakashi.
"Stop."
Kakashi looked around to see Anbu surrounding them.
"The law was lifted on the day of Naruto's banishment."
Kakashi gave the jounin one more disgusted look before dropping him.
"Where's Hokage-sama? There's no way she would've accepted this," said Jiraiya.
After being pointed to her current residency, they charged in, about to confront her when they saw her state. She had sake bottles littered everywhere. Her henge was off, showing she no longer cared. She stunk of sake, and it seemed like she hadn't taken a shower within 24 hours.
"What do you two want? GET OUT! Leave me in peace," she moaned as she drunkenly grabbed another bottle.
After getting the full story from Shizune, Jiraiya stayed to help her with Shizune while Kakashi marched out. Just as he got out, he was confronted by Sasuke and the two elder advisers.
"Kakashi-san, it is the will of the council that you take Sasuke as your personal apprentice and teach him all your Jutsus."
"You should be honored, Kakashi, having a Uchiha be your apprentice. Even with you fake Sharingan, you'll never reach the height of my clan. Be honored that you may teach a true Sharingan user." taunted Sasuke
Kakashi looked at them with an eye-smile before he snapped. He leaped forward and snapped a back kick into Sasuke's stomach. He flew quite far, seeing as Kakashi didn't hold back.
"Kakashi! What have you done? You're be taken to Ibiki for harming Uchiha-sama," yelled Homura.
"I'm punishing him for his attempted desertion of the Leaf as his sensei," said Kakashi.
"It was the Cursed Seal's fault. I'm sure Uchiha-sama would have never left if it wasn't for that and the demon child," spat out Koharu.
"That's bullshit and you know it. My seal would prevent it from acting up if he truly didn't want to leave," growled Kakashi.
"Nonetheless, you harmed the Last Uchiha. Anbu! Take him in," yelled out Koharu.
"HALT!" a voice rang out.
Everyone looked to see Tsunade had finally left the building. She stared at them before talking.
"Why is that scum outside. I ordered my shinobi's to lock him up," she pointed at Sasuke.
"Tsunade, be reasonable. If you jail him, it'll cause him to more likely to leave due to injustice," said Homura.
Tsunade slammed her fist into the ground, causing the earth to shake.
"You have no right to counter-man my orders on MY shinobi. Also, that's HOKAGE-SAMA to you,"
After Sasuke was quickly taken to his house (under house arrest), Kakashi went back to his house. Five hours later, he was summoned to the council.
"Hatake Kakashi, Shinobi Jounin 009720, you have been summoned in front of the council to explain why you do not want to teach Uchiha-sama the Jutsu he deserves to learn, including the Rasengan," said Homura.
The Shinobi council expressed their outrage at this ridiculous charge, while the civilian council was trying to convince the others the Uchiha should learn all that Kakashi had to teach and wanted to also have all the other clans teach him their clan jutsus too. Needlessly to say, it was a bedlam. Tsunade was about to yell for silence, the crackling a lightning, followed by many chirps that could be heard. Everyone looked to the source to find Kakashi with his Chidori blazing at full power.
"Now that I have your attention, I'd like to announce something."
He took his hiate off and tossed it in front of Tsunade. "I resign, effective immediately."
Everyone was silent at this sudden announcement. Soon, a united uproar came into the room. Everyone was begging or asking Kakashi why. He remained silent, looking at Tsunade only.
"Alright, fine. Kakashi is no longer a shinobi of the Leaf. You are not allowed to join any other villages, though." Kakashi nodded at this before turning around to leave.
Before he left, he added, "I'm going out of town for awhile. Been a long time since I've had a vacation." Tsunade immediately picked up the hidden meaning. He wanted to go find Naruto and ensure he was safe. "Alright, approved. You can go."
"Wait."
Everyone turned to look at Danzo, who stood up. "If you wish to leave the village, you must relinquish the Sharingan and give it to a …. worthy successor."
Kakashi tossed a scroll onto the floor and activated it, surprising everyone what was in it. There was a jar, and inside it was a floating Sharingan eyeball.
"Already took it out. Don't need it anymore," replied Kakashi before making a hand sign. Before anyone could react, the jar exploded, destroying the eyeball. "I'm not letting anyone take Obito's gift, though."
"ANBU, SEIZE HIM FOR DESTROYING A PRECIOUS RESOURCE!" shouted Danzo.
Kakashi laughed at this before suddenly dispersing into smoke, showing that it was a shadow clone.
"Curse him! Send out the hunter-nins. We must kill him for doing such a travesty. Add him to the Bingo Book!" said Homura.
"No." Tsunade's voice was loud and clear. "He was officially discharged from service. Nobody will send anyone to find him. That eyeball was his, and he made sure that it wouldn't fall into enemy hands. This meeting is over."
Flashback ends
Naruto was staring at Kakashi after they told him their story. He had just noticed that he was wearing a red headband that covered his left eye instead of his usual hiate. His eyes started to water at this revelation. His senseis didn't abandon him after all. They were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, and couldn't help him. "Why?" he asked.
Kakashi took the time to pull out another scroll and unsealed what was inside it. A cabinet with 5 drawers appeared. As Kakashi pulled out each drawer, they could see it was full of paperwork in each one.
"This cabinet is records of all the time I tried to adopt you. Every time, I was blocked by the civilian council, who controlled the adoption process. Even after each rejection, I still tried. When they threatened me, I pushed back. This process continued until you finally became a shinobi, where I could no longer adopt you. Still, I pushed to become your sensei after that. The council only agreed if I tookthe Uchiha with you. When I left, I searched all over the Elemental Nations for you. I stayed with Koyuki after awhile I couldn't find you. Imagine my surprise when she knew where you were."
Naruto's eyes were streaming with tears now. After wiping them off, he asked, "But you barely taught me anything. Even when I asked you to train me for the Chunin exam, you took Sasuke-teme and left me with Ebisu."
Kakashi laughed, "You really think it was coincident that the first place he took you to train Jiraiya was there? Plus the council forced me to teach him to make sure he would live against a jinchuriki like you."
Naruto realized that Kakashi had already planned with Jiraiya to have him train and make it seem like it was a lucky chance. Jiraiya took this chance to say his piece.
"After you left, I almost killed the civilian council. They only thing that stopped me was hope that I could find you. When I got a toad saying you took your name out of the contract and jumped over the wall, I was filled with misery. I couldn't tell Kakashi early as he already left, so I decided to do the same and leave Konoha. I claimed asylum with Koyuki-sama later, and she's going to star in my movie, Icha-Icha Paradise." Jiraiya had a perverted grin at that before becoming serious. "Still, the council would be flipping over if they knew whose child they banished," said Jiraiya.
"I already know who my parents are," replied Naruto. Kakashi and Jiraiya were surprised. "Hiashi gave me a scroll explaining everything, and also gave me my inheritance."
"Huh, should've known Hiashi would be the one to tell. He was your father's best friend," said Jiraiya, before realizing something. "Wait, your inheritance?"
Naruto nodded, before disappearing in a yellow flash.
"Huh. Guess he learned it after all," chuckled Kakashi as he pulled out his green little book again. It was the latest Icha-Icha novel.
Naruto soon reappeared with Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Konohamaru, and Hanabi. The five of them were leaking huge bloodlust until Naruto, Kakashi, and Jiraiya explained what happened earlier. Soon, tears and hugs were given.
"Asuma had almost had a heart attack when you disappeared," chuckled Kakashi to Konohamaru
Konohamaru flinched at the name. "It's Maru, now. I didn't want to be reminded of Konoha anymore."
"You guys know what's happening in Konoha right now?" asked Jiraiya.
Back at Konoha
Konoha was at an all time low. The village had no alliances to any major or minor villages anymore. Wave and Sand broke off all agreements, which was followed by Spring and many other places. In total, every place Naruto had been to that aided Konoha was now being thrown back in their face. At first, the whole village was ecstatic that the demon brat was finally gone, but they did not know the consequences that it would bring them. Even the Fire Daimyo was furious at them and cut down funding to save face against the other Daimyos. They lost one of their best elite jounin and another sannin and his spy network. Even though it is considered a major village, Konoha was now considered the weakest of all 5 villages, and its position would soon be usurped by the new Sound village. The civilian council, however, didn't care and believed themselves to still be the strongest. However, a new development forced them to recognize the danger they were in. Iwa's Onoki died, and a new Tsuchikage took over who wanted Konoha burned to the ground. Kurotsuchi was slated for it but somehow disappeared. The Sound village had allied itself with Iwa and declared war on Konoha. Without any allies, Konoha would die. What was even worse was Orochimaru had been accepted back in the Akatsuki with the disappearance of Itachi and Kisame.
Inside the council room
"If we don't find a way out of this, Konoha will fall," declared Tsunade. Her eyes were dull and bags could be seen from under her eyes, signifying she didn't have a good nights sleep. She hadn't had one ever since Naruto had been banished.
"I don't see what the big problem is," scoffed a pink-haired counselor by the name of Haruno. "All we need is Uchiha-sama leading our army and we'll win. In fact, we should make him Hokage right now!" While several of the civilian council agreed, all the others were looking at her if she was retarded.
"Now isn't the time for a new Hokage," said Danzo. "If Konoha is to survive, we must look for someone to help us. Even if it means extending past the wall."
Silence pervaded the council room at this statement. Then, outbursts could be heard, everyone.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Tsunade, causing everyone to become silent.
"Danzo is right, we have no choice. We don't have any alliances here. Perhaps we could strike an alliance with the west. We must find some way to send them an envoy of peace."
Back at the Imperial Palace
"Konoha's on the verge of being burnt to the ground due to the alliance of Oto, Iwa, and Ame with Akatsuki. I'm sure they are still looking for Biju's but for some reason, most of them have disappeared excluding Gaara and Killer B." said Jiraiya. He wanted to explain more, but Naruto held his hand up.
"I already know what's happening there. My spies are in there, giving me information. As for the jinchuriki's, there is no need to worry. The rest of them are all here at the Western Empire."
Jiraiya and Kakashi were surprised at that. They didn't think that the West could have sent agents into spy and get the bijus to a safe location.
"Konoha will try to seek us for an alliance and will most likely try to mercilessly exploit us. No doubt Danzo will demand submission, while Sasuke-teme will demand to be the emperor because he "deserves" it," continued Naruto.
"Naruto, I know you have no love for Konoha anymore, but I beg of you, convince the romper to at least deter or claim neutrality on this war. There are people still in there who still miss you, like Teuchi and Ayame. Iruka hates that his adoptive little brother is gone, and Tsunade still can't get a good night sleep," begged Jiraiya and bowed down, head to the ground.
"You wish to convince the emperor?" asked Hanabi. Jiraiya nodded as well as Kakashi. Maru laughed and all of them pointed at Naruto. "He's the emperor," they giggled.
At this, Jiraiya and Kakashi dropped the mouths right into the floor. They knew he had potential, but they couldn't imagine that Naruto would become the emperor.
"I'm not the strongest person in the empire, if that's what you're thinking," said Naruto quickly. "There are still many people stronger than me even when I fully tap into Kurama's, Kyuubi's real name, power, but they pledged loyalty because they thought I could make the right decisions and lead the empire into a time of peace."
Kakashi and Jiraiya looked at each, eye to eye before they started to chuckle. Soon, it became a full blown laughter, and it was contagious. After they all calmed down, Naruto decided to reveal his plans.
"You probably don't know, but we hold a grand fighting tournament here. There's one for Taijutsu-based only, one for weapons-based only, and the last one will be any skills allowed. The general rule is killing is allowed, but discouraged, and the participants must follow the proctor's judgment. We hold it to see whose the best, although a select few choose not to participate to let others have a chance. This year, I've made contact with Koyuki to for anyone who wants to participate in the tournament to gather at the Land of Spring, and everyone from the villages is invited to join, even Oto and Iwa."
Before anyone could even make a protest, a voice rang out.
"A tournament with your old village? Sign me in!"
They looked to see Yusuke grinning like a maniac. Behind him was Itachi and Kisame, who decided to join in to see who came, as well as Yachiru. Jiaray and Kakashi immediately took fighting position until Naruto waved them down. He explained the history behind Hitachi and why both of them came with him to the West, as well as telling them that Yusuke was the one who protected them and brought them over. Soon, lunch was served for them all.
"So, Naruto, who knows you're here besides us? And how did you get information about the Elemental Nations?" asked Jiraiya, interested in his spy network.
"It's the Pekara Merchant House," replied Naruto.
The merchant house had suddenly appeared in Elemental Nations and grew extremely quick, making it one of the successful merchandising organization. To see that underneath it was actually a spy ring impressed Jiraiya. They decided to forget about the East for the time being and eat and celebrate a reunion between an emperor, his godfather, and his dad's pupil who could have been his adopted brother.
Well, hoped you guys liked it. I decided to keep the Pekara Merchant House as a sign of respect to the authors who made their stories before. Read and Review! Criticism is accepted and very helpful. Flaming... is slightly acceptable on the pretense that it can still be considered constructive criticism and not just an all out F U.
