Detail: Set After The Second Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Last Time: Last Time on "Journey Of Happiness", Naruto found out the truth about Sasuke when he told him that Sakura wanted to go with him the day he left the village. Not only that, but a few of Naruto's friends had given up on him after finding out he had the nine tailed fox Inside of him. Aswell as having new rules and changes to the village that endangers It's villagers.
What will happen next? How will Tsunadae and everyone help Naruto and Sakura?
(Location: Konoha, Specific Location: Hokage's Tower, Hokage's Office)
There, Tsunadae along with Mrs Haruno was called to the sixth Hokage for answers.
"You understand why you're here don't you? We found out that the Uzumakis and Namikazes heritage was gone, and we found out who took them, and with help from a certain someone." Danzo Said, as he eyed Tsunadae, "You do realize It's treason to give away someone's heritage to someone who doesn't deserve It." Danzo Reminded
"So what?! That belonged to Naruto since he was born, the only people that tried to steal It was you and the rest of the council, I did what Minato and Kushina would've wanted, giving their son he real heritage. It was In their will they give everything they had to Naruto, but you tried to steal It, which was why they sealed It In their blood, so only someone with their blood could open It. You are the one guilty here, not me." Tsunadae Explained Stubbornly
"You're only lucky that I don't execute you where you stand, or banish you since the hospital; needs someone to run It." Danzo Informed Angrily
"You think I need a banishment to leave, the only reason I became Hokage was because of Naruto, without him I would've been travelling the villages at this moment. I see that this village had tried to take away another loved one of mine, so I guess this means one thing, I'm leaving the village, and this time I will never come back." Tsunadae Said, Threating Tone
"I wouldn't do that If I were you, despite your former Hokage title being taken away from you and being placed on me, you still have some worth In you. Also….. I wouldn't let anything happen to that apprentice of yours." Danzo Smirked
"I'm taking Shizune with me." Tsunadae Argued
"I'm not referring to that apprentice of yours, but the other one, the one known as Sakura Haruno." Danzo Referred
"Naruto-San took my daughter away from here, by now she's miles away, and you can't do anything about It." Mrs Haruno Said, with a smirk of victory, though that would drop soon
"You miss understand, despite the fact she no longer has anything to do with this village, I still could mark her as an… Oh I don't know? An SSS-Class Missing Nin, to be a, "Kill On Sight Target"." Danzo Said, which made Mrs Haruno Gasp In Horror
"Y-You can't do that! Sasuke has to marry her! I doubt he'll like It when you kill her! DO you think that'll work?! Danzo!" Exclaimed Tsunadae, In Anger
"Correction. He wants to marry her, to pain the Demon Brat, also there's the resurrection Jutsu Orochimaru taught him a while back, so If she was to die we could resurrect her anytime we want, and force her to do anything we want, like a puppet attached to strings." Danzo Explained with a Smirk, which caused Tsunadae to Gasp
"SHE'S JUST A GIRL! SHE CAN'T PUT UP WITH THAT SORT OF STUFF!" Shouted, an Angry Mrs Haruno
"She gave up her rights as a Civillian girl the moment she put that headband on. Just like the rest, she's nothing but a tool, like you Tsunadae, a tool that supposed to do anything It's master, or user, requires It to do." Danzo Smirked, which caused Tsunadae to Cringe her teeth
She knew she couldn't do anything, with Danzo In power, there was absouloutly nothing she could do to stop him from doing what he Just said he'd do.
"Fine." Tsunadae Gave up, "You win, I won't leave the village. But please realize what the villagers and Shinobi are going through, the rules you made, the things you changed, the places you now owe, are tearing everything apart. If you Juts allow the village to continue the rules they've carried for years then we might have not caused a riot." Tsunadae Begged, which caused Danzo to Smirk
"There will be no riot Tsunadae. Anyone that defies me dies, as order from the sixth Hokage himself, me." Danzo Explained, "Anyhow, where's Jiraya? I hear he's going to travel for a while, but by now he must be back." Danzo Said
POOF!
A smoke bomb blew up at that moment, without shocking anyone, a shadow figure appeared, the figure was tall and muscular, the smoke was getting cleared which revealed the figure was wearing green pale light pants and shirt, under a red open vest, soon It revealed that It had tanned skin, and white long spiky hair, his face was soon revealed, which showed a smiling posing Sannin, with black eyes, and two paint long drops on each lower eye, his name was Jiraya, the toad Sannin.
"Did someone rang?!" He Asked, In a posing way, while winking at Danzo, of course this was never unusual
"Jiraya-Sama…." Thought Mrs Haruno In a disturbing way
"That Idiot…" Tsunadae Thought In disturbing way
"Jiraya. How good to see you." Danzo Said
"Wishing I was seeing Tsunadae rather than you on that chair. I have come here from news from my spy network from here. I hear you banished my student on such ridiculous terms, and for what? For that damn traitor." Jiraya Said, Seriously
"Sasuke Uchiha Is more Important than that brat, he's the sole surviving member of his clan." Danzo Reminded
"So Is my student, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, heir to the Uzumaki clan and the Namikaze clan, the same clan that had been wiped out, but only has one sole surviving member today, and that's my student." Jiraya Explained, while crossing his arms
"Not anymore." Danzo Said, "As of today, your new student will be the next Hokage, Sasuke Uchiha, not Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Danzo Informed
By that stage, Sasuke had already entered the room.
"So Sensei, what do we learn?" Sasuke Asked, with a Smirk
"Sasuke. I would never teach you anything, unlike you, Naruto always put his heart In my lessons, and the Jutsus I teach him. But you're like Orochimaru, you only care about power, not the ones you're willing to protect, you're not worthy like Naruto." Jiraya Explained, which caused Sasuke to growl
"I am better than him! A hundred times better! He's nothing!" Sasuke Growled
"ENOGUH!" Danzo Called, "As order from your Hokage Jiraya, you're to train Sasuke Uchiha everything you, and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze know. Understand." Danzo Ordered, but of course, his words had no effect on Jiraya
"No I won't Danzo. I refuse to train a spoiled brat who care nothing but power. No matter what you say or do, I won't train him." Jiraya Said, which of course was true, even If Danzo was Hokage, Jiraya would easily Ignore him and do anything he pleases, which was the very reason he trained Naruto
"Then I have to call In the Jounin Elite, maybe they'll train him." With that said, Gai, Kurenai, Asuma, And Kakashi came through the doors
"You called for us Hokage-Sama?" Kakashi Asked, as he looked around the room, and saw Sasuke, and Immediately realizes why they were there
"Yes I did. Since Jiraya won't teach Sasuke anything, we need one of you to train him." Danzo Said
"I won't teach that brat a single Jutsu after abandoning the village." Asuma Said
"I'm on Asuma In this one, he deserted us therefore he's a traitor." Kurenai Agreed
"Plus his flames of youth were long gone when he decided to runaway from the village." Gai Said
"I'll do It." The Jounin turned their heads In surprise, as they saw who said It
To their surprise It was Kakashi Hatake, the leader and Sensei of Team 7, before Sasuke left.
"The student of the fourth Hokage. Sounds Interesting, but maybe It's for the best, seeing how you originally were Sasuke's Sensei back then." Danzo Said, "You are to train Sasuke anything he wishes to learn." Danzo Informed, before he and Sasuke left, while Kakashi bowed
Kakashi was about to leave the room, until Jiraya stopped him.
"Kakashi, why do you Intend to teach Sasuke? Unless you have a plan to beat Danzo at his own game by using Sasuke?" Jiraya Asked, Kakashi didn't look at him
"No." Kakashi Replied
"Then why teach him? You know as much as we do he's not the same Sasuke as he was before. Plus the last time you taught him he used your techniques against his friends, aren't you aware of that?" Tsunadae Asked, Sternly
"Yes I am. I am well aware of that. I failed Sakura and Naruto before, I failed two of my students, and I know because of me they're on the run. But none of that matters, as Jounin I am supposed to take orders from the Hokage himself." Kakashi Replied
"So you teach the one student that left the village for power?! Kakashi I don't understand you sometimes! You neglected Naruto and Sakura for Sasuke, the least you could do Is refuse to teach that brat anything!" Tsunadae Argued
"I'm sorry….. But It's my Job to take orders from the Hokage himself." With that Said Kakashi left the room, leaving everyone Jounin Shocked
(With Naruto And Sakura)
The two had made It to a cave, a dark spooky, primitive, but warm cave. It was already nigh time so they rested to sleep, unpacking their sleeping bags next to each other.
Naruto was by the fire he made, and Sakura was setting the beds up. For a while now since they last saw Sasuke, Naruto hadn't spoken to Sakura, and It made her really upset.
"N-Naruto-Kun…" Sakura Said
Naruto looked up at Sakura, before saying, "Sakura-Chan…."
Sakura sat right next to Naruto, and leaned on his right shoulder.
"Naruto-Kun…. I'm so sorry. I know I should've never said that. You're right, If I had went to Sasuke I would've been made an S-Class Missing Nin, or worse be an experiment of Orochimaru… I Just know It's partly my fault for the whole team 7 separation and destruction….. All I ever did was try and look good for Sasuke… And Scowl you Naruto-Kun…I'm really sorry. What I said was so selfish…. I could've created myself a problem I could've never come back from….." Sakura Said, as her voice broke and she began tearing up
"Sakura-Chan. Just forget It. I'm not mad at you anymore. You learned your mistakes and now you finally know what could've happened… I can't hate you, nor ever will, you're the only one I love." Naruto Said with a soft Smile
"Wha-What about Hinata….. Do you know she has a crush on you?" Sakura Asked
"I know….. But I Just don't feel the same with her as I do with you….. To me Hinata's a friend, and I think she understands that now." Naruto Replied
Which he was right at, Hinata had been thinking for a while, and had realised It was Just a crush, and Naruto's ninja way Inspired her a lot, which was confused with a crush. Naruto only found out while he was gone, but of course he didn't feel the same as she did with him. She was closer to Kiba, and everyone knew he had a crush on Hinata. Naruto and Sakura could only hope that Sasuke doesn't get in the way.
Naruto gently stroked Sakura's hair, as he leaned on her. Sakura and Naruto wanted this moments to last forever, but for now It was time for bed, and the two had to get ready.
Naruto stood up, and read through his clans scrolls, and found a sealing Jutsu that allowed him to put up a barrier which disguises Itself with the terrain. After doing multiple seals, and hand sign, the barrier which looked like the cave's sides was summoned, and Naruto could easily rest since It will last for days.
Sakura got the bed bags ready, and laid them next to each other, and she took off her vest, then her skirt and bicycle shorts, then her ninja shoes, and laid In her bed In her underwear, making Naruto blush furiously.
"Naruto-Kun…. What's wrong?" Sakura Asked In Concern
"Ummmm…. Sakura-Chan….. Do you have any pyjamas?..." Naruto Asked Nervously
"Why… You don't like this view?" Sakura Asked, before she did a sexy pose, "What about now?" Sakura Asked, as she winked at Naruto and stuck her tongue out at him
Naruto Just blushed even more, before taking a few steps back while almost collapsing, while holding his nose from bleeding. Sakura Chuckled In victory, as her seduction was as effective as ever. Naruto Smirked back, and combat this by taking hic clothes besides his underwear off, which made Sakura almost nosebleed and collapse after seeing the half naked blond.
Naruto walked towards Sakura and the two put their sleeping bags together, while zipping down one end. Naruto and Sakura both held each other, Sakura's pink underwear against Naruto's green underwear. Her small breasts squished between Naruto's chest as he blushed furiously from this.
"… Sakura-Chan….. I need to tell you something." Naruto Informed Sakura looked up at him, "I'm still goanna become Hokage, and protect the village." Naruto Said
"But Naruto-Kun…. You can't, you've been banished, and we're still being hunted down by the village, and we know Danzo Is Hokage now." Sakura Reminded
"Yeah I know….. But I can't let things go the way they are… I'm pretty sure Granny Tsunadae told you about this bastard as much as the Pervy-Sage did?" Naruto Asked
"Yes she did." Sakura Replied, "She told me many things, how he wants power, how he wants the title, and….. How he wants things to work out. A man like Danzo should never become Hokage….. He has nothing that can make him Hokage, even though he tries he will never be a true Hokage….. You're right…. But he's at a higher rank and power, along with most of the Civillian Council who supports him." Sakura Explained
"I Just can't let this go…. I don't think he'll stop here either…. He'll probably try and take over the whole country….." Naruto Said
"Yeah I know." Sakura Admitted
"Plus with Sasuke's help he'll become his advisor, and I Just know he'll become his successor, and continue the same work." Naruto Said
"I know." Sakura Said
"Still….. I can't believe my parents were heroes. And not Just heroes. Great heroes. For years I looked at my father's head, admiring him every day, and now I discover the one person I admired, and had sealed the demon In me, Is the same person who brought me Into this world… I…. I can't believe they kept It a secret for so long….. It was enough they all hated me for having something Inside of me I didn't realise until two and a half years ago, but now I know I'm the last member of the Namikaze Clan… What else am I? Am I…. I Just don't know what to say? To be honest I don't wanna know anything about myself than I do now." Naruto Said Sadly
Sakura moved closer, and hugged Naruto hard.
"I do know you're a kind person… I know you're kind hearted, and you'd do anything for anyone, and you are the best ninja I know." Sakura Said
Naruto Smirked, before they kissed and went to be.
(Location: Konoha, Specific Location: Unknown, Time: 09:00 PM)
Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata, and Lee all were waiting for Tsunadae In a abandoned building, which was once an Apartment. It was dark, but had very little lighting. There were webs everywhere, and many old crates around making It a suitable place for private conversations.
"I Just hope that we're not too early. I have to go home because of a few meetings I have with my Clan. Right Akamaru?" Kiba Asked
"WOOF!" Akamaru Barked In Agreement
BASH!
BASH!
"OW SHIKAMARU WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Kiba Demanded Angrily
"For speaking too loud. You do understand what we're doing Is considered treason by our Hokage-Sama right? Troublesome." Shikamaru Replied, his voice filled with Annoyance
"He's right." Agreed Tsunadae, as she along with Jiraya and Shizune with Tonton walked out of the shadows, "Otherwise we'll be spending the next decade In prison for speaking against our so called Superior." Tsunadae Said
"So what's the plan?" Shikamaru Asked
"We already established a small underground of villagers who despise Danzo's new rules, and Sasuke's stubbornness. But still there are things they can and can't do, so we'll need all the Shinobi help we can get." Tsunadae Explained
"I can see a few of you decided to bail out?" Jiraya Asked, as he looked at the amount of top ninja there are
"Well… Ever since Naruto's secret has been out, Choji has been more cautious of him. Tentens no different, she sees Naruto as a threat to the village. Neji basically lost faith In him since he was banished, and had resorted back to faith can't be change thing. Ino Kinda hates Naruto for "Kidnapping" Sakura and basically for him having the Kyuubi within him. Shino was never good friends with Naruto, and basically follows Danzos rules and orders. So we're the only ones left who don't despise Naruto." Shikamaru Replied
"I can't believe It." Said a Shocked, and upset Shizune
"Oink." Tonton Agreed
"We're going to have to keep our eyes peeled, Danzo's ROOT program Is everywhere." Tsunadae Warned
"And with my spy network looking for the Akatuski, Naruto and Sakura are safe. And as long as Sakura and Naruto are gone, Sasuke can't marry any girls, which Sasuke doesn't deserve." Jiraya Informed
"But…. How will we know If Naruto-Kun and Sakura-Chan are alright?" Lee Asked
"Then we're going t have to trust them Lee." Tsunadae Replied, "Kakashi's teaching Sasuke all about the fourth's Jutsus, and moves. Maybe we should try and warm them." Tsunadae Said
"Yeah but how…. With Danzo as Hokage, and most of the village under his control, the chances of warning them, or at least one of them, are low. We need more help." Shikamaru Suggested
"Done. I already Informed the Kazekage, by tomorrow he'll be here to discuss with Danzo." Jiraya Informed
"I'm still not so sure Gaara can handle him. Danzo Is a slippery snake, trust me there were countless court cases against him, and every single one had the same results, he was free without even a slap to the wrist." Tsunadae Said
"We have to start somewhere don't we? If Gaara can't do anything. Then maybe It'll help start things off. We need all the help we can get since Danzo Is Hokage now." Jiraya Said, and everybody agreed
But what they haven't realised was that Kakashi was right behind them, reading his orange book while listening to the conversation.
"Naruto….. Sakura….. I'm so sorry for all of this." Kakashi Thought, before taking his leave
(Location: Hokage's Tower, Specific Location: Hokage's Office)
Danzo was staring at the window, with Ino, Choji, Neji, Tenten, and Shino behind him.
"So I hear that a few of you decided to rebel I hear?" Danzo Asked
"Well we're not so sure Hokage-Sama…. But with the rest of the elite on Naruto's side, they rather prefer him than you. It's only In theory that they might rebel, we have no Idea." Neji Replied
"I still don't understand them though. I mean It's Naruto, he has the Kyuubi Inside of him, he took Sakura, and left the village. I thought Shikamaru was smart enough to see that Naruto Is a threat. I mean, he was never mature at all, plus we don't know If he was lying to us about the whole time since we graduated." Ino Said
"Then wait It out. If Tsunadae and the others are planning a rebellion against me, I want their heads and their bodies burnt for their treachery. However, If we did that too early, then the villagers will believe they're no longer safe, and either go against me, or leave, either way It'll crash the economy of the village." Danzo Said
"And what about Naruto and Sakura?" Tenten Asked
"Naruto and Sakura will be brought back. Already I have other Ideas for the Kyuubi brat, and his demon. If there are any signs for them, I want you to stop them. And If the other elite try and stop you…. Kill them." Danzo Said
They all bowed down before leaving. Leaving a Smirking Danzo to his plans.
Author's Note: Well sorry for the wait. Projects working on, and school work I have to do.

Bye Dudes .
