Chapter 21 Shadow Games Pt 2
I don't own Naruto. Anything I use from the story is the property of its creator Masashi Kishimoto. Same with anything I use from other stories
(Kurama Household)
As Naruto opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of Yakumo and Ido curled into his body with Ido on the left and Yakumo on his right. Sure, he only enjoyed Yakumo the night before but that was only because of Ido's excellent efforts in helping Tayuya. Unfortunately, that smile turned to a frown when he remembered that Orochimaru wasn't the only one affected by their actions, "Ido wake up for a second." Naruto said softly hoping to talk to the shadow of Yakumo Kurama.
"What is it Naruto." Ido yawned as she opened her eyes.
"I know the plan was to speak to the old man about Orochimaru but I'm just as worried about Danzo. I think he could target you and Yakumo after what you did."
"True. He did target Tayuya knowing that I'd be there." Ido frowned. She had been using most of her chakra to maintain Demon and that left Yakumo with far less. Sure, she could use their shared techniques, but it was a lot easier if she was around.
"If you want, I can leave a shadow clone to protect Yakumo." Naruto said calmly. His clones were powerful enough to help Yakumo and even get her to safety if needed.
"Sounds good but before we go our separate ways there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Sure" Naruto said calmly.
"Why the fuck haven't you slept with Karin yet. Before you give me any excuse about her finding a new life for her let me remind you that once she was free of Grass's bullshit, she could've moved into an apartment and done just that. Instead, she chose to move in with you. As somebody who watched over her during the whole ordeal, I can tell you that her feelings for you are every bit as strong as the ones we have for you. Arguably more" Ido lectured.
Naruto groaned since that was a subject he really did need to address, "I know and I'm going to deal with that soon. Things are a bit chaotic right now as we both know." Naruto smiled.
"I agree. Just make sure that when you get the chance you fuck the shit out of Karin. She deserves your dick way more than Ino does even if you only fucked her in the ass." Ido smirked.
Naruto smiled at the reminder of his fun with Ino but in the end Ido had a good point. "I got it Ido. Now if you don't mind, I need to get going." Naruto smiled as he got up and got dressed before vanishing via a shunshin.
Once Naruto was gone, Ido turned her focus to the third person in the room. "You can stop pretending your asleep now Yakumo." Ido smiled. Yakumo woke up when Naruto was speaking to Ido but stayed silent.
Yakumo opened her eyes to talk to her inner self, "I'm surprised you're throwing more girls at Naruto, Ido." Yakumo teased.
"What's three more girls added on to his little harem."
"Three? You only mentioned Karin just now" Yakumo said in confusion.
Ido looked at her true self with a wry smile, "We both know it's not a matter of IF he fucks Tayuya but when. Kin won't be far behind after that."
"I miss the old days when it was just Hinata and Tenten as competition." Yakumo frowned.
"I do too but Naruto is a great guy. Besides, he has shadow clones to ensure we're all satisfied." Ido smirked.
Yakumo cracked a smile before she got serious, "Putting Naruto's love life to the side. He's right about Danzo being a threat. I could tell even during the meeting that something about him was rotten."
"I agree. Luckily for us, I've been learning some tricks from Yugao that might help us get more protection." Ido smiled.
"Sounds good" Yakumo smiled before closing her eyes to get a bit more rest. She still had to go to training later and she was struggling a bit after being the sole focus of Naruto's attention for once. 'Maybe having a few more girls isn't a bad thing after all.' Yakumo mused.
"No, it's not." Ido smirked.
"Quit reading my thoughts."
"You do remember that I AM you. Your thoughts are mine." Ido smirked just to get a pillow tossed at her from her shadow.
"Let's go back to sleep' Yakumo pouted not wanting to argue anything else.
(Scene Skip)
After returning from the Kurama household, Naruto quickly took a shower before making his way into the dining room to get some breakfast. He wasn't surprised to see Karin her the blue naked apron yet again standing in front of the kitchen with his usual breakfast waiting for him on the table at the head spot. "Good morning, Naruto." Karin said politely.
"Hello Karin. Breakfast looks lovely and so you do." Naruto replied as he walked over to the red head and wrapped his arms around her waist before pecking her on the lips.
Karin couldn't help but blush at the show of intimacy but stayed focused for now, "I'm assuming you'll be off for training soon."
"Yes, but I want to eat this breakfast first." Naruto smiled before something occurred to him. "Hey Karin, I want to ask something." Naruto wondered.
"Of course" Karin replied glad to have even a small moment with him.
"Why did you start wearing the naked apron in the first place." Naruto wondered.
Karin blushed since that was an embarrassing question but quickly gathered herself, "While you were out training, Anko Fu and Haku took me shopping for a new outfit since I wanted to truly get a fresh start. When we got to the lingerie section, Anko wondered if I wanted something to seduce you. I told them about my failure and Anko suggested a naked apron. Once we were done at the lingerie store, I went with Anko, and we brought a naked apron for me. I figured I could make breakfast with it since I know you want to eat before you leave for the morning training." Karin explained. She was going to give up after her first few attempts didn't do anything but then Fu told her that he was a bit rougher with her. That told her all she needed to know.
Naruto couldn't help but smile at the story since it proved that Karin was really trying her best for him, "Hey Karin, how about tonight you and I go on a date?" Naruto suggested.
"Really!" Karin said in shock knowing what Naruto's dates usually signified.
"Yep. You'll get the full date experience that you rightfully deserve." Naruto smiled.
"Thank you Pri… Thank you Naruto." Karin said bashfully as she almost let the Prince Naruto name slip.
Naruto chuckled because Karin reverted to Prince Naruto for a bit and he realized it wasn't so bad, "You know what Karin, if you really want to call me Prince Naruto you can do so. Same to you Tayuya." Naruto shouted.
Karin blushed a bit as Tayuya and Kin walked into the room in their new outfits, "So you heard us coming huh." Tayuya smirked.
"Yup. Thanks for giving Karin her time with me." Naruto smiled.
"No problem. By the way, Kin and I are getting our own dates once you get done with Karin" Tayuya said firmly.
"Tayuya!' Kin gasped not expecting to be brought into everything.
"That's fine." Naruto smiled.
"Glad we could have this talk, Prince Naruto." Tayuya smiled as she walked over to Naruto and without any hesitation pressed her lips against his. She held the kiss for a few seconds before pulling away.
"I could get used to this." Naruto grinned.
"Not fair" Karin pouted.
Tayuya looked at Karin with a smile, "I just gave him a quick kiss. You're the one whose fucking him tonight." Tayuya countered.
"Good point" Karin blushed.
"By the way don't be surprised if I'm the one in the naked apron tomorrow." Tayuya smirked before walking into the kitchen to get her food.
"I'll look forward to it." Naruto said happily.
"I… I'll do it too." Kin said bashfully before following Tayuya to get her meal.
"Sure" Naruto said gleefully.
As breakfast finally calmed down a smiling Genma listened in from the living room, "Seems like everything is going well." Genma said happily as he relaxed on one of the chairs.
"It is and it's up to us to keep it that way." Yugao said off to the side.
Genma's expression turned serious, "So what's the latest."
Yugao frowned as she recalled her talk with the recently awoken Sound Ninja. Tayuya gave her a flash drive with information from Orochimaru's computers and it was a game changer. It turns out that Danzo had been secretly working with Orochimaru ever since he left the Leaf and that in exchange for help with a special project, he would help him destroy the Leaf. While it didn't confirm the nature of the project, it confirmed that Danzo helped Orochimaru create the Sound Village and even arranged a meeting with the Sand village for the snake Sannin. Calling Danzo a traitor was an understatement and one that would need to be dealt with. "Let's just say that Danzo won't be a problem anymore." Yugao said firmly.
"Got it." Genma replied. This was merely the calm before the storm, and it was going to be one hell of a storm.
(Scene Skip)
Naruto returned from training hoping to relax for a little bit before meeting with Tenten. Given everything that happened, helping his lover with the chunin exams would be a nice break. Unfortunately, Genma was waiting for him in the living room. "I hope you didn't have any plans this afternoon." Genma said calmly.
"What happened?" Naruto asked. He was a bit annoyed that he wouldn't get to relax but it couldn't be helped.
"Yugao's talk with Tayuya gave us some information that we need to address and given how close you are to the situation, we thought you should be involved."
Naruto took a deep breath and frowned, "Fine but give me a second before we go. I promised Tenten I'd meet her to help prepare for that Sand Village girl and I don't want to blow her off." Naruto frowned before making the shadow clone.
"What's up boss." The clone asked curiously.
"Go with Uncle Genma to talk to everybody about Danzo. Meanwhile I've got training to do with Tenten." Naruto instructed.
"Aww why can't I stay with the hot girl." the clone whined.
"Because I'm training and if you dispelled that's a headache." The real Naruto deadpanned.
'Good point" the clone sighed before going with Genma.
"I'm out of here." Naruto replied before leaving via a shunshin.
"Shall we" Genma smiled.
"Yeah yeah" the clone pouted before Genma put a hand on his neck and vanished via a shunshin.
The clone and Genma appeared in a room inside the ANBU barracks and in front of him was the Hokage and various ANBU including Yugao ANBU Dragon and Ido. "I'm here." Genma smiled.
'Excellent. Now we can begin." The Hokage smiled before motioning to ANBU dragon.
"As you know, ANBU Neko spoke to Orochimaru's former subordinate Tayuya. During their talk Tayuya revealed that she obtained information from Orochimaru's personal computer."
"How did she do that." A falcon masked ANBU asked.
"Apparently she was able to access one of his old bases that was still in the Leaf and get to the computer stored there. I don't know much more but what's more important than how she did it, is what she discovered."
"And that is?" the same ANBU questioned.
"She discovered that Danzo has been working with Orochimaru ever since he left the village. It was Danzo who helped Orochimaru create the Sound Village and Danzo who helped arrange a meeting with the Sand Village."
"That means" Naruto gasped.
"That means that Danzo played a large role in the invasion that we're currently dealing with. In other words, Danzo Shimura is guilty of high treason" Dragon confirmed.
The ANBU were stunned, "So what's our next move." A beaver masked ANBU said nervously. If Danzo was a traitor, arresting him would not be easy and it was a move they had to handle properly or risk a massive fallout.
"Therein lies the problem. That team from the Sand Village is still in the village and they're a wild card." Dragon said nervously.
"Actually, I can take care of them." Naruto said calmly.
"How so" Dragon wondered.
"Gaara has been wanting to fight me and if I take him to the Forest of Death tower, I can isolate them from whatever you guys are doing."
"That's true, but what about the risk that his teammates get in the way." Yugao pointed out.
"They're afraid of Gaara and they wouldn't dare interfere in his fight." Naruto said firmly. Even if they did, he could easily crush them but that was another story.
"What about bringing Fu along." Genma suggested.
"That's true. Another jinchuriki would be a deterrent." Yugao smiled.
"Sounds good to me." Naruto smiled.
"Genin Uzumaki you are doing an incredible service for the village." ANBU Dragon praised.
"ANBU Dragon is right Naruto. This is tantamount to a field promotion." The Third smiled.
Naruto groaned because he knew what the old man wanted to do, "If you're so insistent on rewarding me then how about this. As far as shinobi status is concerned, I'll still be a genin but allow me to officially join the CRA instead of the unofficial capacity I'm in now." Naruto suggested.
"You truly want to do the exams with your team don't you?" Genma smiled.
"Yeah." Naruto said firmly.
"Well, I'm perfectly okay with that." The third smiled. The fact that Naruto wanted to join his teammates was a beautiful thing.
"Just one question. How will we find Danzo?" Naruto said curiously.
"That's easy. I tossed my shadow onto the bodies of the men who went after Tayuya. Thanks to that, I can easily find out where Danzo is hiding since they'll have gone back to wherever he's hiding."
"There you have it" Yugao smiled.
The third smiled, "ANBU Dragon you're hereby ordered to arrest Danzo Shimura. Take whoever you need." The third shouted.
"Yes sir!" Dragon said happily.
"Dismissed." The Third shouted and Dragon Neko and even Ido left to take care of Danzo.
"Time to do my part." Naruto smiled.
(Scene Skip)
A smiling Naruto appeared in front of the room being used by the Sand team ready for what would be one of his most interesting challenges to date. Knocking on the door, he couldn't help but wonder who would be waiting for him. As the door opened, he was met by Temari the kunoichi of the group, "What do you want?" Temari frowned.
"Well, I came to give Gaara what he wanted." Naruto replied with a smile.
Temari's eyes narrowed since Gaara wanted only one thing, "How are you going to fight him now." Temari frowned.
"Simple. I can take you to the Forest of Death's tower and into the arena. We won't have any interference either." Naruto smiled.
Temari's eyes widened since that would do it, "Come on in." Temari said quickly.
"Thanks" Naruto smiled as he walked into the room. Temari led him to the living room where Kankuro and Gaara, the other two siblings were waiting. Flaring his senses, he could tell that they were the only ones there which was interesting.
"What is he doing here?" Kankuro said nervously.
"I came to give Gaara his fight." Naruto answered/
"Is that so?" Kankuro said skeptically while Gaara looked at him with a death glare. One that Naruto didn't mind at all.
"Yep. All he needs to do is put his hands on my shoulder and I'll take him to the arena."
"Very well" Gaara said sternly.
"I'm going also." Temari said quickly.
"That's fine." Naruto replied.
"Then I am also." Kankuro said firmly.
"Then come on over." Naruto smiled. Moments later the sand siblings gathered around Naruto with Gaara taking his right shoulder with Temari taking his left. Much to his amusement Kankuro had a kunai against his back along with his hand
"You understand right. I don't want any funny business." Kankuro smiled.
"Sure sure" Naruto chuckled before vanishing via the shunshin
The Sand siblings were stunned when they appeared in the middle of the arena but were even more stunned to see the same blonde making out with a mint haired girl. "What the hell?" Kankuro growled before stabbing Naruto in the back just for him to dispel.
Naruto pulled away from Fu with a smile, "Good old shadow clones." Naruto smiled before focusing on the group that had just arrived
Gaara scowled before looking at Naruto, "Mother wants your blood."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "That's fine but we should really get these two up to the observation area" Naruto smiled not bothered at all by the threat of his fellow jinchuriki.
"You didn't say anything about your little girlfriend." Temari frowned.
"Jealous." Fu teased.
Temari twitched a bit before noticing something, "Not really. With little tits like yours I'm surprised you even got a man to begin with."
Fu twitched herself before smiling, "At least I have a man. I bet you've never even kissed a guy."
"Why you!" Temari growled not taking the slight.
"Enough!" Gaara growled.
"Sorry" Temari said bashfully.
Fu was pleased at her moral victory, "My job is to watch over you two to make sure you don't interfere in the match. If you do, let's just say Gaara will be the least of your worries." Fu said with a vicious grin on her face.
Temari frowned because something felt wrong, but Gaara wanted this and she wasn't going to mess up something that Gaara wanted, "Fine. Let's go Kankuro" Temari frowned.
"Right" Kankuro replied as he Temari and Fu walked up leaving Naruto and Gaara alone.
"This match will end when one of us is unconscious or dead. Though in your case it'll be more unconscious. Now let's get started" Naruto announced.
Gaara didn't reply but he simply allowed the top of his gourd to pop out. As the sand started to flow it was clear that the match was about to start, "Mother will enjoy this." Gaara smiled.
Naruto simply smiled as he put his left hand in a half ram while raising his right arm up, "Hidden Mist Jutsu" Naruto shouted. The area quickly filled up with mist so Gaara couldn't see in front of him.
"Pointless" Gaara growled as he began summoning more sand. Whipping the sand around, he slowly pushed the mist away revealing a smiling Naruto.
"Nicely done." Naruto said calmly.
"You won't get away" Gaara growled as he sent the sand Naruto's way.
"I'm not running" Naruto smiled as he let the sand surround him.
Gaara smiled viciously as the sand surrounded Naruto, "It's over" Gaara said gleefully as the sand surrounded Naruto with his hand raised as he prepared to end this.
From the viewing area Temari and Kankuro watched on with different reactions, "Hah. This guy was a fool to face Gaara." Kankuro said happily.
"We'll see" Temari frowned. This was WAY too easy and in her experience that meant trouble.
Back in the arena, Gaara was ready to go for the kill, "Sand Funeral!" Gaara roared before closing his hand. Gaara expected to see blood signifying Naruto's death but instead the sand seemed to expand before an explosion revealed a miniature tsunami.
"What the hell!" Kankuro yelled.
"What's going on." Temari shouted unsure of what to do as the tsunami crashed towards Gaara who was quickly surrounded by a dome of sand.
"I was wondering why he was so calm. Sneaky bastard." Fu smiled.
Temari looked at Fu in shock, "What did he just do" Temari gasped.
"Just watch." Fu smiled.
Eventually the tsunami of water faded, and Naruto appeared out of nowhere on top of 5 feet of water unharmed. As for Gaara, he may have protected himself, but all of his sand was now useless, "All according to plan." Naruto smiled.
"What did you do!" Gaara growled. The water contained enough of Naruto's chakra that even the sand in his gourd was useless. It couldn't have gone worse if he tried.
Naruto smiled, "When I activated the Hidden Mist Jutsu, I quickly created a clone and put a special jutsu seal that contained Water Style: Exploding Water Shockwave. The real me hid during that time and waited for you to attack the clone. Once you destroyed him the Water Shockwave jutsu did the rest"
"Damn you" Gaara growled knowing he was fooled.
"No way he's a normal genin. Most jonin aren't that fast" Temari gasped.
"You do remember that like your brother he's a jinchuriki. We're much nastier than normal shinobi." Fu smiled.
"You just said WE'RE made of much stronger stuff." Temari said nervously and Kankuro paled.
Fu looked towards the two before smiling, "Let me formally introduce myself. Fu Uzumaki the jinchuriki of the seven tailed beetle." She wasn't Fu Uzumaki yet, but as far as she was concerned, she could call herself that.
"You gotta be kidding me" Temari gasped.
"Don't worry puppet boy. Like I said earlier, I'm only going to get involved if you guys do." Fu smiled. In other words, as long as they stayed away, she would do nothing.
Back on the battlefield Gaara was fuming, "You… you'll pay for that." Gaara growled.
"Not really." Naruto smiled as he began rushing through hand signs, "Water Style: Grand Wave Jutsu" Naruto shouted as he stomped on the ground.
'NO!" Gaara screamed as a 6-foot wave of water appeared behind Naruto and rushed towards him. There was no place to escape and with his usual special defense useless he was in trouble.
"GAARA!" Temari and Kankuro shouted as the powerful wave crashed down on him.
"That's gonna leave a mark." Fu smiled but Fu knew this was where it got really fun.
As the water from Naruto's attack faded, the damage from his attack was clear. The red headed teen was still above the water, but he was on his back and barely conscious, "It's over" Naruto smiled.
'Naruto, Seal up Shukaku's powers NOW.' Kurama warned.
'How come.' Naruto replied mentally.
'That damn racoon could take control if the boy goes completely unconscious.' Kurama explained.
'Got it.' Naruto replied and he started flashing hand signs.
Just as Kurama warned Sand started to flow around Gaara despite the water.
"Fuck!" Kankuro cursed.
"This is bad." Temari said nervously.
"Nothing to worry about." Fu said calmly as Naruto appeared in front of Gaara and slammed his hand on his stomach causing the sand to fall back into the water.
"What the" Temari gasped.
"Oh relax. He just sealed Gaara's power." Fu scoffed.
"I see" Temari said in disbelief.
"If that's the case, what is he doing now?" Kankuro wondered.
"My guess is Naruto is talking to the one-tail."
"What! Why!" Temari gasped.
"Because our life sucks enough thanks to outside sources. He's probably doing something to make sure Gaara's life isn't complete shit from the one inside him." Fu answered.
"I see" Temari smiled. She noticed Naruto's hand leave before he looked up at them.
"Alright Fu the battles over. Clear the field." Naruto smiled.
"Got it" Fu smiled before reaching into her pocket and pressing a button. The water that remained drained right before their very eyes and soon Naruto and Gaara were on dry land.
"Gaara!" Kankuro shouted before jumping onto the field as Naruto backed away. Temari and Fu soon joined them with Temari going to Gaara as Fu took Naruto's side.
"He's fine. He's resting now and I had a nice chat with Shukaku." Naruto said calmly.
"What happens now?" Kankuro said calmly.
"I return you guys to your room, and I'll be on my way." Naruto said calmly.
"That's it." Temari said skeptically.
"Yep." Naruto smiled.
"Kankuro" Temari said calmly.
"Right" Kankuro nodded. Kankuro grabbed Gaara and he and Temari put their hands on Naruto's back. Unlike before there was no kunai.
"See ya later Naruto." Fu smiled.
"See ya Fu." Naruto replied before vanishing.
The group of four arrived back in the hotel just as before. "Well, my work here is done." Naruto smiled before moving to leave.
"Hold on a second." Temari said calmly.
"What's up." Naruto said calmly.
"I want to thank you for what you did." Temari said calmly.
"I'm confused."
"You could've easily killed Gaara like he wanted to do to you or sealed Shukaku completely. Instead, you just knocked him out, suppressed his power and then fixed things with the one-tail. Considering we're technically enemies, that's unusual."
"He's a fellow jinchuriki." Naruto shrugged. It wasn't a big deal.
"Well one good deed deserves another, and I think I'm going to repay that right now." Temari said calmly.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, but Kankuro seemed to know what was up, "Temari are you crazy! You're really going to tell him."
Temari ignored Kankuro before speaking, "The Hidden Sand is planning to betray the Leaf by working with the Snake Sannin Orochimaru. Gaara withdrawing has changed the plan, so our sensei went back to the Hidden Sand to discuss what's going on."
Naruto couldn't help but smile since that explained why their sensei wasn't here, "And why are you telling me this."
"Because you're a good guy and I get the feeling you can fix this mess without us going to war. No good can come from this" Temari frowned.
"I'll see what I can do." Naruto replied with a hidden smile.
"Thanks" Temari smiled back as Naruto left the siblings with his mission accomplished.
(Scene Skip)
Naruto walked into the living room and Yugao Genma and a fully visible Ido sitting down. Yugao and Ido looked beaten up but considering their operation that's to be expected. "Would you like the good news or bad news." Yugao said calmly
"Good news." Naruto replied.
"We were able to infiltrate Danzo's base and confirmed that Danzo had re-established a group called ROOT which was his personal army. While you dealt with Gaara, and the Sand team we were able to get rid of most of the ROOT Agents."
Naruto frowned knowing what's coming next, "The bad news is that Danzo escaped."
"Correct. We've got ANBU agents combing the village for him, but I suspect he's left completely to join the Sound Village and Orochimaru." Yugao confirmed.
"What does this mean for me?" Naruto asked aware he was going to hate the result.
"It means that at the council meeting scheduled for tomorrow you're going to tell them everything. Karin Tayuya Orochimaru and everything in between." Ido revealed.
"Understood." Naruto replied.
"The bad news doesn't end there Naruto. Lord Hokage ordered me to place you Yakumo and Tayuya under house arrest." Yugao said firmly.
"Repeat that." Naruto twitched.
"Until we confirm that Danzo is out of the village, you and Yakumo are in danger. This compound is as safe as it gets for you, and I can stay in the ANBU barracks." Ido said firmly.
"What about Hinata Tenten Haku and Fu." Naruto wondered.
"Tenten Haku and Fu should move with you since your compound is the safest place in the village with all the seals you have in place. The Hyuuga compound is the second safest since they adjusted security after what happened to Hinata." Ido explained.
"I don't have the space to bring all of them Ido. If I did, I would've done that by now." Naruto frowned recalling one of his more annoying issues. With Tayuya Kin and Karin moving in there was only one free room left. He was lucky that Kin and Tayuya didn't mind sharing their room.
Yugao smiled, "What if I told you I have a solution to your problem." Yugao chuckled.
"If you have a solution, tell us. It would be so much easier to live with Naruto then deal with the idiots in my family. I'm sure Hinata would agree" Ido spoke up.
Yugao took a second. "Grab everyone and bring them just in front of the compound"
"Got it." Ido said calmly before leaving.
"Alright" Yugao said calmly before vanishing via a shunshin.
"Umm what's going on." Naruto wondered in confusion.
Genma smiled, "Things are about to be a bit more fun for us." Genma said happily.
(Scene Skip)
Naruto and his girls outside of Tayuya Kin and Karin stood just outside of the main house waiting for Yugao, "So what are we waiting for." Fu wondered. Haku Hinata Tenten and Yakumo were equally curious.
Before Genma could respond Yugao returned with a familiar face, "Hello Naruto." a cat masked ANBU said with a smile.
"Yamato?" Naruto said in confusion.
"Yes. Yamato here has exactly what we need." Yugao smiled.
"Need for what. In fact, why are we here." Yakumo explained.
Yugao took a deep breath before explaining the recent events. She told them about Danzo, his role with Orochimaru and even what that meant for Ido and the others. Once she was done Hinata Tenten and Yakumo were all stunned.
"Oh wow" Tenten gasped.
"Now that you know why you're all here, it's time to show where you'll be staying." Yamato said calmly as he started making hand signs. "Wood Style: Four Pillar House Jutsu"
"Brace yourselves." Yugao smiled as wood seemed to pop out of the ground.
"What the!" Hinata gasped as shards of wood seemed to fly everywhere. When it was done the group was looking at a two-story wooden house with green awning and a small wooden balcony.
"So, you can just make a freaking house out of nothing?" Tenten gasped.
"Yes. Typically, it's used to help ANBU camp out on the road, but we're going to use it to give the girls a place to stay close to Naruto. Trust me the inside has plenty of space for everyone." Yugao smiled.
"Hold on a minute. Wood Style was an exclusive bloodline limit of the first Hokage. How can you use it?" Haku said with narrowed eyes.
Yugao frowned, "That's private information." Yugao said quickly.
"It's alright Yugao I can tell them." The cat masked ANBU said calmly before taking off the mask to show his face. He had black almond shaped eyes and brown hair. "When I was a child, I was experimented on by Orochimaru who wanted to obtain the First Hokage's bloodline."
Haku flinched, "I'm sorry."
"No. You're right to question it." Yamato replied.
"How about we check out the inside of the house." Hinata said quickly hoping to change the subject.
"Yeah" Yakumo nodded and everyone else soon agreed.
The group walked inside and found a massive interior with two sets of wooden steps leading to a second floor which had a small pathway that led to two bedrooms. "This is huge." Tenten gasped.
"Yep, and the best part is that due to the large space upstairs you can set up practically anything… well besides plumbing. There's enough space that you guys can all stay in one room or split up the rooms." Yugao smiled.
"Sounds amazing." Tenten smiled.
"No plumbing sucks, but we can just go over to Naruto's house." Fu said nonchalantly.
"I'm okay with that." Naruto said calmly. It would complicate things in the morning slightly but that was a small price to pay for keeping his girls safe.
"So. Who's going to move in." Yugao wondered.
"I am."
"Me too" Haku and Fu quickly agreed.
"I want to move in also." Hinata said calmly.
Tenten thought about it for a second and smiled, "I'm in but don't be surprised if I spend a lot of time at the shop." Tenten said calmly. She would make sure one of the others was with her just in case, but she couldn't just abandon her dad.
The last of the girls was Yakumo, "As long as somebody explains what's going on to Uncle Unkai I'm in also." Yakumo smiled.
"That settles it. Everyone can start getting moved in right now." Genma smiled.
"I'm surprised you guys agreed so quickly" Naruto said in shock.
"Yakumo Hinata and Tenten have been doing things with you guys for how long." Yugao teased.
"Good point" Naruto smiled.
"Then let's get moved in everyone." Fu said happily.
"Yeah" the girls shouted.
Naruto couldn't help but smile as he knew the girls would be safe now.
(Scene Skip)
Nightfall arrived and it was time for dinner and considering their new guests it would be one of the busiest days in a while. Naruto made his way downstairs so he could spend some quality time with Karin since their date for tonight got cancelled. Making his way towards the kitchen he was pleasantly surprised to find Karin wasn't alone. Joining her was Kin and Tayuya and each were in a naked apron of their own. Tayuya's was jet black with red Uzumaki swirls while Kin's was dark green with black Uzumaki swirls, "Good evening, Prince Naruto." Karin smiled.
"Well, there goes my plan." Naruto chuckled.
"What pla… ah shit." Tayuya groaned.
'What's wrong Tayuya." Kin asked nervously.
"Tonight was supposed to be red's date, but since he's on house arrest, he can't do anything. I guess you were planning to make dinner together or something." Tayuya said bashfully.
"I was, but seeing as how you guys are here, I don't want to ruin that." Naruto said with a smile.
"Alright" Tayuya smiled.
"So… he's not upset." Kin said bashfully.
"Not at all. I've got three beautiful girls making dinner for me. What more could a guy ask for" Naruto smiled.
"Dinner won't be for a bit so why don't you relax." Tayuya smiled.
"Sounds good." Naruto smiled as he walked into the living room and spotted Genma on the couch though he could only see his face for the moment. Walking around, he quickly found the closest chair to talk to his adopted Uncle.
"Life really has gotten complicated for us huh." Genma smiled bitterly.
"Yep. We probably should get another table since we can only seat six." Naruto chuckled.
"I took care of it already and bought a small square table for everyone else. The question is going to be how you seat everyone." Genma chuckled.
"Well, I guess something has to go against me." Naruto smirked. He lived a blessed life in every sense of the word, and it was only getting better.
"Putting all of that aside. Tomorrow is going to be huge for you Naruto and you have to play it right. You've been headfirst into a major conspiracy that affects everyone." Genma frowned.
"I know. To be honest I've gotten lucky so far." Naruto admitted. Haku and Fu were enemy kunoichi who were basically given a pass because of him and to some extent so was Karin. The same could not and would not be said of Tayuya.
"I wouldn't say that" Genma admitted.
"But I would as much as I hate to admit it. Tayuya and Kin worked for Orochimaru and while I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, there's no guaranteeing the others will."
Genma was about to respond but a surprising source beat him to it, "Well then I'll just have to prove my worth." Tayuya shouted having switched to her new outfit.
"How long have you been listening to us." Naruto frowned.
Tayuya smiled as she walked over to Naruto and kissed him on the cheek, "Have you forgot I'm from the Sound Village Prince Naruto. Most of us use sound to fight and a result we have damn good hearing. I don't need to do anything special to hear everything that happens in the house." Tayuya smiled
Naruto frowned, "Sorry for-"
Naruto stopped Tayuya put a finger on his lips and proceeded to sit on Naruto's lap pressing her rear against his crotch, "I've been waiting a long time to do stuff like this and like I told you and Ido, I'll do whatever it takes in order to keep doing that." Tayuya smiled as she simply enjoyed the moment.
"Actually, that's something that's bothered me for some time. How did you know about Naruto in the first place?" Genma wondered.
Tayuya actually got a solemn expression on her face, "My mother fled Whirlpool as a child just before it was destroyed to live in the Land of Rice Paddies. Prince Naruto knows this part already, but she told me stories about Princess Kushina even taught me some low-level sealing before I was taken by Orochimaru. When he started planning the invasion, he gave me and the other members of the Sound Four a list of people to look out for in our eventual pursuit of Sasuke I saw him, and the rest was history."
"I see" Genma replied. The fact Orochimaru knew enough to think Naruto was a worry did bother him a bit. Then again, if Danzo was working with him there was a good chance he'd know how capable Naruto was."
Tayuya took a deep breath, "I'm assuming I'll play a large role in tomorrow's meeting."
"Yep." Genma said calmly.
Karin picked that moment to walk into the room and she was her new outfit, a long-sleeved lavender jacket with a silver belt. The bottom of the jacket was exposed to show off a bit of her stomach and a pair of black shorts finishing the outfit was a pair of black thigh high stockings and black sandals, "It's time for dinner. Sorry Tayuya you'll have to get off of Prince Naruto now."
Tayuya smirked before getting up, "That's fine. I just wanted my moment." Tayuya smiled.
Genma smiled at the sight before focusing on Naruto, "We'll talk later. I'll let you enjoy dinner with your ladies for now."
"What about you?"
"I'm meeting up with the guys for some drinks. It's been a long few days." Genma smiled.
"Alright" Naruto replied, and he got up to help get dinner set up. This would be a nice bit of calm before the impending storm.
That's it for Chapter 21 and things are getting quite serious for Naruto. Next time Naruto must deal with the fallout from Danzo's actions as well as the affections of his newest group of girls.
AN: One of the things that hasn't been addressed until now was the layout of the bottom floor of Naruto's compound and I do need to do that here. You walk in from outside and have the main entrance with stairs just off to the right and a door leading to the dining room at the top with the second-floor rooms above it. The first room to the left is the living room and the door to the kitchen is in the top right of the living room. The kitchen and dining room are at the top of the bottom floor which is why Genma can hear the dining room conversation in the living room. The right side has a few areas including leading to the outside but for now this is just so people aren't incredibly confused. Enjoy the chapter
