When the Naruclone shot out of nowhere, the rest of them just got there. Knowing that Kushina wouldn't mistake her son for anyone else, they almost attacked it, but Naruto himself stopped the attack with his shout.
They were still wary, but more willing to listen to reason. Thus Naruclone was saved from certain death… for now.
"What the fuck is going on in that head of yours? I clearly stated that you could only come here under 2 conditions…" NARUTO stated with certainty.
"Sorry Boss, but I needed both an emergency escape and to report my findings, so…"
Naruto's eyes widened, simply because both conditions were fulfilled. "Right then, dispel immediately!"
Naruto proceeded to crouch immediately, seeing as he was being assaulted by memories… and then rampaged around Kunjou to calm himself down.
As it turns out, Mokuton cannot restrain an angered Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze… Ask Hashirama, he tried.
When he was calm, the war council he wanted convened a meeting, one where Naruto was glaring at his mother… much to her confusion.
"Wouldja please just tell me what the problem is!? I won't get it if you keep glaring, Yanno!"
"I'm not feeling particularly charitable right now, so NO!"
That was new for the adults- a child who backtalked his mother… they should've figured it out though, given the Uzumaki's generally emotive disposition outside of shinobi duties.
"Anyway, did you ever find a seal on Mikoto Uchiha's neck, Mom? You were close to her after all?" Ahhh, that would make sense, seeing as the kid was a kid.
"I did find one, but it was one to keep her skin healthy for missions… We had one placed on us when we entered the ANBU, after all…" his glare intensified, and Mito started glaring at her as well.
Naruto moved to check it out and found the seal in question… After seeing it for a second, he passed some red chakra to destroy it.
"Note to self, kill Danzo, he thinks he can play with emotions, huh… Two can play that game and one can do it better than the other… *mumble**mumble*" Again, this was new for the adults, since it included tons of expletives, though Kushina was kinda down for some reason…
"Disregarding that particular incident, Mom probably knows what put me in that rage, so ask her. Originally I was going to ask you lot what to do about Danzo, but that story practically wrote itself. NO ONE MESSES WITH FAMILY!" Naruto growled that last bit out when Tobirama made to object. "As for how I know it was Danzo, the warhawk was a rank amateur when it comes to seals… I am illiterate and I could see what that seal did for fuck's sake! The man thinks he can just control everyone he wants to, he can try in an illusion!" THAT caught the adults' attention.
"Uhh.. Kinda hate to rain on your parade, but why would you call yourself illiterate?" Hashirama repped the adults in asking, since Minato was seething and Kushina was in a rage of her own, being restrained comically by Hashirama's wood.
"Cause I am?" was the deadpan reply… "I mean, the Uzumaki affinity for seals helped some, but for the most part, I was never allowed to attend the reading and writing classes in the SHINOBI ACADEMY! Another reason to kill Danzo- the man has influenced the council in kissing Dad's resurrected ass while trying to torture me into submission so that he can slap some control seals and make me his weapon… Too bad for him, I hated his guts even at 4 years old and wanted so badly to shove my dick up his nose as a show of power later in life considering what he facilitated, but his death will be sooo satisfying to me… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" Naruto only stopped cackling like a maddened Madara because he had a kunai shoved up his beloved jacket by Tobirama…
"No matter what he did or planned, or even whoever you are, he is my student, and if you think he is someone you can kill willy-nilly, then you are sorely mistaken." Naruto started laughing worse than before on hearing that, since "If you think I'm letting your sentiments ruin why I came back in time, you've gotta be delusional!" He stopped speaking through laughter and glared so bad, he looked like Kurama.
"As a matter of fact, YOU are the last person whose opinion would matter in any way, seeing as YOU are the worst Kage in history… Alienating the Uchiha, making Danzo anywhere near powerful, trying to strong-arm the Uzumaki into making a Contract of Servitude with Konoha- don't think I didn't see those documents, old guy- and worst of all, thinking that Hashirama was too soft when you didn't know everything. I can guarantee right now that if Hashirama is Madara's equal, then I am someone they can never reach combined… Which means that even if you ever reach Hashirama's level, I am far above you!" That was punctuated with a blast of chakra so powerful Hashirama fell to his knees. Naruto's widened eyes burned with the intensity of his anger at Tobirama's words.
Tobirama himself was ashen-faced, wondering what the kid was and thinking that his brother's legacy was in danger if someone like him was even alive. Thankfully for Tobirama, Hashirama's cooler head prevailed, and he calmed Naruto down with a single request and apology. Mito still sealed Tobirama's mouth shut and resolved to let the seal stay, as a punishment for that contract of servitude thing, which she never knew about.
*10 minutes later*
Tobirama sat in seiza, practically forced to apologize to every Uzumaki, which included himself, since the rumors of the Uzumaki branching off from the Senju got one thing wrong- It was the other way around. On being questioned, Naruto revealed that the contract in question was filled with seals, which managed to clue him in on the purpose. He managed to confirm the same by asking Jiji, which ensured that the guards were punished for leaking info… Naruto loved being a little liar. It helped that he wasn't about to harm Konoha for any reason, even though he wasn't loyal to it.
Moving back on topic, he KNEW that Danzo had gone far in his desire to be in the thick of battle, but the lengths he went to… pissed him off.
Anyway, Naruto was all too willing to screw him over but the Council is there to rein him in basically. Which is why he discussed the actions he took with them… and Tobirama felt like an ant under Mito's gaze if anything. Kushina was baying for blood, and Hashirama was wondering if his idea of a village was too ambitious.
"I never liked Danzo much, but now I want him dead… will Danzo's death shake the timeline up in any way, son?" Minato was seething and teething, but he controlled himself to keep his cool head. He knew that his son would not have called them ALL if they weren't important. Maybe himself and Kushina, but definitely not the other three.
Naruto was feeling glad that there was someone keeping a cool head. To be honest though, he felt that Danzo was bird poop in the grand scheme of things- someone to get rid of ASAP- but he was willing to see if he could change him. Danzo himself changed matters in that regard though. HIS precious people are NOT to be messed with, no matter what!
"I'll take suggestions on how to handle this matter, because I personally wanna torture the shit outta him. I'm taking him out by the time he attacks Shisui, so there's your timeframe. Now, Imma train to take my mind off this, those who wanna guide my training, please join me." Naruto said that, made a new Naruclone, sent it back and left.
For those wondering, I gave a brief on what Naruto experienced in teh previous chapter... Those who don't understand, its spoiler content. Now we see him blow up at Tobirama, who imo made the most mistakes in his career- including the big one involving Danzo. Thus, he's being scolded here. That said, I'm not bashing him, since those were actual mistakes he made in canon, and imo, bashing involves creating flaws where there are none, or beating an old horse- example, Sasuke's emo nature. I'll be changing that, so please don't try to make me bash him.
ANYWAY, I need someone to imagine a torture/near-murder scene involving the four-year-old Kurama-carrier... the more gore, the better since I can't imagine it well enough. PM me the scene to avoid spoilers, since I'm gonna have it in the next chapter for this fic. To make things interesting, consider it a contest- the winner will get mentioned in the story as an OC of their design. Said OC needs to be a civilian, since I don't wanna bring IRL matters to light.
As Always, read and review!
