The Great Vein Plaza, Reach City
With their meeting finished the party came out to see the kid's eating food in the garden while Aayla was watching over them. The group had split up into groups to meet their grand kids while Naruto stood back with Tsume and Kiba to watch. Seeing them happily greet each other Tsume nudge Kiba forward with a shoulder check.
"See. If you would have informed me earlier, I would be like them seeing my grandkids. Or I would be having more kids" she glared as Kiba stumbling forward a bit looked at her with a really look.
"You already have me and Hana. You want more kids?" he questioned to which she nodded. "I can still have more and the way things are looking, we need to keep our population up. You should be giving me grandkids as well" she finished as Kiba looked away with a blush. While he was dating someone, they didn't want to have kids right away. Too much going on.
With the small introductions going on, Aayla walked up to Naruto to remind him. "Naruto-sama, please don't forget you have one more meeting with Vice Admiral Kushina involving with Uzumaki Clan" she warned as he groaned at the thought. He was not looking forward to that one. He didn't even know what the hell they even wanted. He maintained zero ties with them since ever. Now that he grew up and became so big, they wanted to be part of his life. Sounds suspicious.
"They can wait. I want to spend time with everyone here first" he argued with a pout as she laughed at him. Slipping a arm around his she lead him away from the group. "I was warned you might do this so everyone told me to make sure you go to this next meeting personally. Being punctual is very important and sets a good image for the family" she stated as they walked away.
"Who am I'm trying to impress? I'm fucking Naruto. I don't need to impress anyone" he mumbled as Aayla lead him away with a laugh.
Tsume seeing this raised a eyebrow before looking over to Kiba confused. "He is dating her as well. He is in multiple relationships" he explained. "Go on tell me more"
With Sasuki
She had just introduced her mother to her three kids, and she was watching as she gobbled them up with hugs and kisses. She felt like she missed so much of their lives. While the boys were embarrassed by the affection, Azula ate it up with pride in joy. She could tell she loved the attention.
"So, what are you kids learning right now?" Mikoto questioned
"We last left off on some history but due to the deal that our sister made, we are going into training and unlocking our chakra" Sozen said with a smirk. "Training"
"Yup. I made dad promise to teach and unlock our chakra on the deal that we would be good for this trip. We are being good" stated Azula proudly as Sasuki looked down at her proud.
"She is just like you" Mikoto stated proudly
With Hinata
Once introducing the kids to her father, they looked up at him with different expressions. Himawari looked up at him in awe while Boruto looked at him in a glare. Something he must have picked up from Naruto or Zabuza. Maybe even Kiba. Stubborn to the end.
"So, your our grandpa" he stated rudely as Hinata pinched his cheek a bit. "Excuse him. Someone seems to awaken on the wrong side of the bed. He also seemed to forget who he is talking to and around" she warned we with a glare as he smiled back sweating a bit.
"It's quite alright. He is young and is going through his rebellious years. Me and his grand uncle had them as well" he smiled as Himawari bowed to him and introduced herself to him.
"My aren't you precious. Manners and cuteness. Just like your mother" he smiled at her blushing face.
With Ino's family
While the other two groups were tame, Inochi on the other hand swept the two kids in a massive hug. He was going off on asking them questions and seeing how they were doing as the two happily answer all his questions. Ino not having much to do just sat down and relax. It was better for them to bond on their own.
In front of meeting room
Kushina was standing in her uniform waiting for Naruto to appear. He should be done with the meeting with the others already so he should be on his way here. The Uzumaki Clan was already inside waiting, but she hasn't seen them yet. Guess she will see then when Naruto does.
"What is taking them so long" she mumbled just as they appeared right around the corner heading for then. "Finally, you got here. I hope you two were fooling around, while I waited" she stated as Naruto laughed at her accusation while Aayla fixed up Naruto's clothes to make sure he was presentable.
"Come on. We have this final meeting and then we can all go home" she finished leading the way into the doors as Naruto and Aayla followed after her.
Walking into the room they saw five individuals sitting down at the table having regal looking clothing. While their hair was done in different ways the one thing, they had in common was the red hair. Sitting down in front of them Kushina knew who they were but recognized the middle individual personally.
"Mito-sama" stated Kushina as the lady gave her a head bow
"It has been some time Kushina-chan. A lot of events and changes have occurred since we last talk. We must speak about them now as we can no longer hold off on them" she started as the group around her agreed.
"When you got married and requested to take an absence from the clan to purse your own dreams we respected it. It was done on the request that you don't bring shame to the clan and keep us informed on things involving you. If serious events were to occur that could affect us, you were to inform us so we wont be blindsided. When the unfortunate event of your husband passing away in combat occurred, we respected your wishes in wanting to be alone with your son. It was a terrible time and a lot of things occurred. We wanted you two by family to support you but you felt it would be too much.
We even repeated your wish for Hiruzen to watch over and raise Naruto instead of the Clan. Hiruzen is a well-respected man and he had little to assume that he wouldn't raise Naruto well. This was all allowed on the courtesy of you informing us of things. But you have not been doing so. In fact, you have kept us in the dark about all things involving you and your son, so we did our own investigation" she started before tapping buttons on her pad to project classified documents that they had no clue how they got.
"You deploying and raging against the enemy. Your own son becoming a part of project jinchuuriki and becoming distant with you. Him joining the UNSC, which is something the clan must be informed on. Then him leaving and creating a company that grew massively. It has now become so massive that he has ties with ONI and the Fire Daimyo. His company is a sub division of the UNSC which is a massive event. His accomplishments are nothing short of astounding" she stated showing a old regular photo of the green plains in fire country. Flipping it to another photo it showed a new one.
In the middle of a newly created city was a massive orbital lift. The Maelstrom logo was proudly shown all over and on flags. Combined into the city was a massive base filled with personal and on the runway were ships lined up from Frigates, Destroyers, and even cruisers. To the middle side were massive doors that were opened to show a newly repaired cruiser hovering out. And flying around the city were ships set in patrols.
The area had grown and was continuing to grow with people seeking better life and opportunities. While they just recently got the plans to make certain ships, they were buying in old and damaged ships to fix and retrofit to add to their growing fleet.
"When we have clients or talk to other officials, they realize the last name from the owner and leader of the Maelstrom is from our clan. They ask us questions that we have no answers or solid connections to. It makes us look like fools.
This continues on with him growing more and discovering new technologies. Uncovering old runes and tech. Having well connected and important people like Doctor Catherine Halsey and Senju Tsunade join him. To add more to this, he gets married to a few females and starts having multiple kids. Some people think that he is intentionally ignoring us or trying to replace us but we know that is not the case. He simply has no connections to us so he doesn't communicate with us. Something that happened due to you Kushina. This must be fixed" she finished
Taking a minute to collect herself, Kushina looked over to the group. "And how do we fix this? You want him to hand over everything to you?" she questioned as Mito rub her head in frustration.
"Don't be foolish. We want nothing of what he created. Those are his accomplishments and something to be proud of. We are family no matter how much of his blood changed" she explained confusing her
Seeing the confused look, she smiled. "Oh, you don't know? After a lot of events and procedures he went through is genes and blood has changed" she explained showing another image of his blood work and a diagram of his body.
"While he is of the Uzumaki clan, the changes he went through, makes it look like he is your distance cousin in comparison" she explained as Naruto narrowed his eyes at her.
"How did you get that information? That is locked away to only a select few could see" he asked thinking he might have a spy on his hands.
"You aren't the only one with a Forerunner A.I. stud" she smirked at his stunned expression. 'A Forerunner A.I. could slip through the security in placed'
"Don't worry. We didn't steal things from you to use for our benefit. We just wanted information on you. Plus, once your Forerunner A.I. found those holes in the security, she fixed them. So, no one else can get through"
"And you wanted information on me because"
"I wanted to know the type of man you are. Are you good or evil? Hero or tyrant? This information relieved us of those fears"
"But you still haven't answered me on how we are going to fix this" added Kushina. "There is no 'we' as Naruto is not at fault. We won't punish him for your actions. It's what you must do now. We want you to come back into the Uzumaki Clan and be the liaison between the Uzumaki Clan and Maelstrom just as you are for the UNSC. We are not demanding anything from Naruto but we would ask for him to form stronger ties with his clan. Not much"
"Stronger ties how?" he questioned
"For one a alliance with the Uzumaki Clan. Maybe a arranged marriage or three. And visit your fucking grandmother, me for once! You made me a fucking great grandmother!" she shouted at the end at him.
