Naruto stood in the bar checking over a couple of things. They were three weeks in to their journey to Konoha.

"Again, why don't you teleport us there like any other regular person."

"And miss the opportunity to spend some quality time with you? No way."

"I didn't know my suffering was a sort of entertainment for you."

"Everyone suffering is a type of entertainment for me."

"I'm guessing your wife also sharers my sentiments?"

"In a different way yes, her suffering is usually delivered swift and precise."

"A sex joke, I thought those were below you."

"Nothing is below me. I killed ten thousand people for no reason."

"Did you now?"

"Fine 6. Only cause you killed the other 4."

"Your an imbecile."

"So are you."

"Yeah but I don't pretend not to be."

"Then you're not doing it right."

"Fuck you."

"Language Itachi-San."

"Karin is going to kill you."

"Nah, she's in love with me."

"You knew?! This whole time."

"Isn't it obvious? I just don't want to entertain her."

"That's cruel."

"I told you, nothing is below me."

"Hinata."

"Let's go, I got what I wanted."

Itachi smirked at his small verbal victory.

They were met outside the bar by a group of 20 men, all thugs.

"You didn't pay your tab."

"I'm broke." Naruto said, showing off his pockets. They looked over at Itachi who was doing the same thing.

"Then a beating should be sufficient pay back."

"Itachi should you do it or me?"

"I'll do it, I don't want to see anymore dead people."

"They're thugs. It's just a matter of time."

"True but that time doesn't have to be today."

"Do your thing." They all fell to the ground.

"You see that was boring, one look and boom it's over. Where's the fun in that." Itachi smirked before turning off his Sharingan.

"You're just jealous you can't do it."

"I wouldn't want to do it anyways."

"That's not what you told me."

"Again, why do you speak so much to me?"

"Because I want too."

"I might just teleport us to Konoha if you keep this up."

"Thanks for the motivation." Naruto smirked before they stepped over the bodies and continued down the dirt road.

"What exactly is the reason you're going to Konoha?" Naruto shrugged.

"I got a mission request from them and I accepted."

"... A what?"

"Your annoying. In exchange for peace I let them get three missions from me. This is one and word around town is Sasuke will be there. So have fun with that." Itachi frowned.

"Is he strong enough?"

"Nope."

"Then I'll avoid him at all cost." Naruto shrugged.

"As long as you don't get me involved I'm good. Sasuke is a little obsessive."

"He's just confused."

"Thanks to who?"

"I thought it'll help him." Naruto didn't reply to that. They both knew what was Itachi true intentions.

They walked in silence for what felt like hours. The snow was starting to pile up and Naruto was truly grateful he had at least brought a sweater with him.

"This sweater sure came in handy." Itachi smirked.

"I'm sure my jacket is a little more... Fitting for this weather."

"How much more?"

"Extremely more."

"want to trade?"

"Want to teleport us to Konoha?"

"It's not even that cold to begin with."

"Feels kind of chilly to me, and I have this warm jacket on."

"How warm?"

"Toasty."

Naruto sighed before continuing his trek across the snowy terrain.

"We'll be there in like 7 weeks, I'll survive."

Later that night.

"A fucking blizzard."

"Yup, a fucking blizzard. I'm so glad I have this nice toasty jacket." Naruto eye twitched a little, he was getting sick of Itachi.

"Now for that you get to sleep outside the tent." Naruto said as he walked into the tent, it was chakra covered so the cold didn't get in. Itachi just smirked before running through handsigns and his own tent appeared.

"I hate you." Itachi laughed as he heard Naruto. He laid out his futon and laid down before his mind drifted to Karin. Even though he held no love for her, the fact that she was carrying his child was enough to make him nervous.

"Hopefully the baby is okay."

Karin was struggling to get off her chair as her belly has grown twice the amount they were expecting. At first she was scared she might be having twins but after a couple of analysis it was just that the kid was going to be a big baby. The thought of the pain alone made Karin grow ten times more annoyed with the fact that she was knocked up by a stranger and she will be giving birth to a painful huge baby.

Getting up she looked down at the stone monument she was visiting. It was Nurse, she made it a habit to come and visit her any chance she got, the keeper of the cemetery must've felt bad for her because now they place a chair for her, it was a little low so getting up was always an issue but she was still grateful a belly this heavy was hard to carry around.

"So doctors told me you'll be do early." Zabuza said appearing next to the red head.

"Yeah, and?" Karin said a little annoyed, her pregnancy has been dealt with more like an experiment then an actual pregnancy. She been poked and prodded and examined so many times she was starting to lose any kind of emotional attachment to the thing. She was even thinking about forcing it out, but she couldn't find a way that wouldn't put her at risk.

"How early?"

"Probably a couple of weeks."

"You know that Naruto wont be back for about seven more."

"I'm sorry I'll hold him in for a little while longer, hopefully he could hold his breath and not suffocate for the three extra weeks he'll have to be inside of me because Naruto wont be here. In fact I won't even eat, that way the baby could really just eat me from inside out and that should take some time, how long do you think it will take before I die? five weeks, maybe six." Karin said counting her

fingers. Zabuza deadpanned.

"This pregnancy thing isn't for you."

"The baby is basically the product of adultery."

"You don't have a husband."

"Well not anymore, I was saving myself and now I'm ruined."

"How ruined?"

"I'll have a gap the size of Idaho the minute this big ass baby comes out of me."

"I'm sure you'll find someone that won't mind."

"This is not the time for jokes Zabuza. The man I want will notice."

"I don't even want to know how you came across such information.

"Ladies talk." A picture of Haku went across his mind before he paled.

"Anyways, Naruto wants you to meet him in Konoha, he someone convinced Tsunade to be your doctor. You'll be leaving in a couple of hours, the train is already being prepared as we speak."

"Is he serious? He wants me to travel to Konoha, that hates us. To have the baby of one of their most hated missing nin?"

"Yup."

"How is he still in charge?"

"Votes matter, now if I were you i'll go grab some food before you leave."

"I'm sure theres a way to Impeach him."

"Tried it."

"And?"

"Koyuki and Nanami both vetoed it. Apparently my reasons weren't sufficient."

"What were your reasons?"

"He made me go on a mission to the land of cotton, to try and get some new material for his blazer. I ended up having to kill the animal and shit. skin it myself and make him a new one from scratch. I wasn't pleased."

Karin sighed before looking over at Zabuza.

"He's strong but he's still just a kid." Zabuza nodded.

"Hopefully he'll stop thinking he's undestrutacle before he turns eighteen."

"He basically is."

"That's the part that worries me." Karin nodded fully understanding.

"Who's coming with me to Konoha."

"Haku." Karin eye twitched last time she spoke to the ice girl, they were arguing over who was next in line to take office.

"Is she still mad about that thing?" Zabuza nodded.

"Yup. Nice seeing you- I mean talking to you. Be safe." With that Zabuza disappeared.

Karin frowned.

"This pregnancy is just getting better and better."

2 weeks later.

"You should probably just teleport us to Konoha."

"No."

"Naruto for the love of god, stop being so hard headed."

"No, we're fine."

"The snow is up to the top of the tree. UP TO THE TOP OF THE TREE. We are literally walking one hundred feet above ground! For the love of god! I can't feel my toe-"

The next moment they appeared in front of Konoha gates.

"Naruto, Itachi is that you?"

Itachi looked around, he couldn't believe it. Turning around he looked into the green eyes of Karin, then down at her stomach and almost smiled if it wasn't for the fact his face was still frozen from earlier.

"It is you guys, I wasn't expecting you guys to be here for at least another two weeks. What happened?" Itachi eye twitched.

"We got caught in a blizzard that never ended, the snow was above the trees and this lunatic wanted to keep walking, we were taking so many breaks to unfreeze in our tents we wouldn't have been back till summer." Karin just shook her head as she looked at the pale face of Itachi and Naruto, who toes and hands were already a dark purple. They had their face masks on so she couldn't see an accurate feed on the lips, but they were probably blue too.

Walking over to them, she placed her hands on their shoulders before her hands glowed green. They both felt instant relief as a warmness overcame their bodies and they could actually feel their toes for the first time in weeks.

"Thank you." Itachi mouthed. Karin looked over at Naruto who was looking down at the floor.

"What's wrong Naruto?" Naruto shook his head.

"I just teleported. I did it. After I told myself I never would. Now I'm just like him."

Naruto said pouting pointing at the stone monument of the fourth.

"How old are you?" Karin asked. Naruto smirked before grabbing her stomach.

"I see your as fat as ever." Karin deadpanned before smacking him over the head and burying him into the ground.

"You know Itachi is a regular human being right? He don't got the Sekai to keep him alive. He could've died." Naruto looked at her, then at Itachi.

"He looks fine to me." Karin frowned.

"That's not the point Naruto, he was probably hiding it well but look I stopped healing you and I'm still healing him. one more week and he would've lost a couple of toes."

"Not the toes." Itachi mumbled. Naruto looked at Itachi.

"Why didn't you say something?" Itachi just grilled him.

"I did like one hundred times." Naruto nodded.

"Come to think of it, I do remember you mentioning one or twice."

"Your an psychopath."

"So are you."

"But I don't pretend not to be."

"Then your not doing it right." The next second a Kunai went flying at Naruto but was easily defelcted by a second one.

"As fun as watching you kill him off would be, He is my guest and under my protection. Welcome to back Emperor-sama." Naruto winked at Itachi before addressing Tsunade who was standing at the front gate.

"Thank you for having me. I'm sorry I came earlier then expected." Naruto said

smirking. Tsunade didn't find it funny.

"Doesn't matter, the mission was pushed up till today. You'll come to my office and meet your squad and will depart immediately." Naruto smirked.

"So I'm that much of a threat, I'm not allowed more then a few hours."

"One to be exact."

"More then an hour. And you said I wasn't as bad as you." Naruto said looking over at Itachi who was staring passively back at him. Naruto looked back at Tsunade.

"And my pals over here?"

"They're welcome to stay until the baby is delivered and would be treated like honored guest. You on the other hand are to unpredictable to be left in the village."

Naruto smirked before looking over at Itachi and Karin.

"Don't kill yourself, also I'll think of a name if I were you." Karin smiled.

"I already did." Naruto nodded.

"Let me hear it."

"Minato Uzumaki." Naruto looked at her for a couple of seconds before turning his head to Itachi.

"I'm sure you have thought of a name." Itachi shook his head.

"I kindda like it, has a powerful ring to it. Just imagine, MINATO UZUMAKI! I could see him on the billboards now." Naruto eye twitched.

"We will think of a better name, when I get back." The next moment him and Tsunade disappeared.

"What name did you really pick?"

"Naruto." Itachi nodded.

"Fitting."

In the office stood. Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, Ino and Lee.

"Sup, guys. Long time no see." Naruto said as he appeared with Tsunade who had to find her footing. Tsunade frowned he just teleported them across the whole village and he doesn't seem a little bit fatigued, right after transporting him and Itachi across a whole country.

"I'll kill you the moment we get far enough from the village." Kiba said. Naruto smirked.

"You miss me too, that's great to know." Naruto joked as he fell into alignment.

"I hate you as well, but we need you for this mission. So no Kiba, you will not get yourself killed." Shikamaru said. Kiba just frowned at being put down so quickly but remained quiet. It's not like he actually stood a chance.

"YOSH! I see your flames of youth burn brightly." Lee said. Naruto looked down at his arm which was covered in green fire before he patted it down and they went away.

"I guess they do don't they." Hinata just shook her head, Naruto was acting so different. He was making jokes and being kind of silly. Before he use to just do that with her, and now look at him.

"Shikamaru you were briefed on the mission, I'm sure you know what to do." Shikamaru nodded.

"How exactly do you expect us to get the three tails though?" Naruto was pretending not to listen but was actually really interested.

"Me and a group of my choosing will head to your location after you find it, we'll take over from there. We'll seal the beast into a scroll and after that we'll hand it back to the Mizukage." Naruto paled.

"Mizukage? Three tails? Don't tell me." Naruto said sweet dropping. Tsunade smirked.

"Yup, you'll be heading to Mizu where you'll meet up with mist hunter nin, and they'll take you to its last known location. I heard rumors that the fifth mizukage was guarding it herself."

"I'm sure you talked to her and told her I said my bad."

"Nope. I'll leave that to you to do." Naruto sighed.

"We both know if she acts up.."

"Don't tell me. Then that'll make me an accomplice." Tsunade said before looking at Shikamaru.

"You're in charge. Make it count."

"Hai."

The next moment they were all gone.

"He's gonna blow her up again." Tsuande shrugged.

"She going to have to learn to deal with her enemy in a better way."

Naruto just smirked at the Mizukage first words.

"gee, is that how you treat everyone that comes to help you." The killing intent didn't seem to bother him, everyone else was close to losing control of their mobile functions.

"You're a brat and deserve to be taught a lesson."

"I don't do older woman, I'm sorry." That really did it as Mai mouth began to bubble before lava leaked out.

"Get ready to die."

"Nah, you can't kill me. That'll piss off Zabuza, which in turn would piss off my people which in turn will piss off Tsunade who would be Pist at you and then boom! There goes Mizu. Gone, forgotten and exploded."

"You really think they'll do that?" Naruto shook his head.

"No the last part was me." Naruto said smirking. "I'm sure you remember that feeling."

By now mei was steaming.

Ao jumped in.

"Let's just get this mission over with and everyone could go home." Ao said the last part looking at Naruto. Who was picking at his ear with his pinky, before flicking something in kiba location.

"How are you doing that?" Kiba asked. Naruto looked at him before looking down. He was levitating a little above ground. Naruto sighed before falling to the floor.

"My bad, Mei got me all worked up earlier must've activated it by accident."

"By accident?"

"Yes."

"You don't have control of it."

"Not all the time."

"What else you don't got control of?"

"My thoughts and mouth."

"We know that. I'm talking now about abilities wise."

"Nothing that goes boom."

"You're sure of this."

"Nope. If it does happens it usually doesn't effect me: so I could breath easy."

"How did you get recommended for this mission."

"Requested."

"By?"

"The old lady I tried to blow up but survived."

"That's our Kage you're talking about."

"Doesn't make her any younger."

"I can't wait to kill you."

"You mean try?"

"That's enough Kiba. Let's focus on the mission." Shikamaru cut in. Already growing annoyed with the Inuzaka mouth. One wrong word and Naruto might actually follow through with his promises.

"Did you hear what he said? Tsunade would understand." Kiba barked.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean she would understand your death, or ours. Depending on how he takes it."

"Everyone's going boom."

"See." Kiba sighed before nodding.

"Where is the three tails."

The next moment they heard a gigantic roar come from the river followed by a tail tearing it's way through the water and in there direction before Mei raised a hand and a force field stopped the tail; followed by it being electrocuted and the tail sinked back into the water.

"You're annoying." Mei said as she watched Naruto arm still sparkling.

"What I didn't want it to get past the Barrier."

"It wasn't. You just wanted to hurt it, or see if you could."

"It doesn't like being electrocuted." Naruto said smirking.

"that was a pretty good barrier why call us?" Shikamaru asked looking at the set up. They had the beast in the bag; they didn't need Konoha help.

"There's been rumors of some people coming to take it, that's what you're here for to make sure while we're sealing it, we don't lose it."

Naruto nodded.

"Point me in a direction and I'll kill them off."

"We?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto just smirked.

"You want to come too?" Shikamaru sighed but nodded.

"Last known attack was about 4 kilometers north west of here. I sent a platoon they haven't came back yet." Mei began. Naruto nodded before he began to walk.

"Then that's where we'll be heading."

"Is it?" Hinata asked. Naruto nodded.

"Yup."

Naruto frowned as he looked around. Something was off, things weren't making sense. Why have the beast trapped and call him. No signs of Akatsuki; no signs of them even trying to capture the beats then why call him.

Then it hit him.

'So Tsunade wants to know if I'm reliable.'

"Are you?"

"No."

"Then why act like you are."

"Listen Kurama you've been in a coma for the last 6 months, then you wake up and try to question me. Go back to sleep."

"Just asking. Plus what's in it for you anyways, you could just jump into the water and blow it out of it and let it be unconscious for a couple of days until they seal it." Naruto nodded.

"Yeah but then I'll be helping."

"Then why come?"

"Would you believe me if I say I came out of the kindness of my heart."

"You're here to blow up the Mizukage right."

"Yup."

"Why?"

"She raised my bounty."

"You wanted that."

"I did?"

"That's what you told Itachi."

"You were awake."

"And you were being extremely rude, people are trying to sleep in here."

"I can't wait to blow you up. You're at the top of the list."

Kurama just laughed before laying his head down.

"Deuces."

Naruto smirked as he woke up and realized he was flying right into a tree.

"Son of a bit-" wack. He smashed into the tree before falling like a bag of potatoes to the ground.

"I am going to beat you so bad you're gonna wish the sage never created you."

"What are you talking about dummy, you just flew into a tree." Kiba said as he looked at the down form of Naruto. Who got up dusted himself off and nodded.

"That I did. Anyways, who's that behind you?" Kiba looked behind him and saw nothing.

"What are you talking about?"

"Strange I could've sworn you was behind yourself." The next moment he fell to the floor faced down completely unconscious.

"You're annoying." Shikamaru said as he told the group to make camp.

"We could take him out right now you know." Shikamaru nodded before looking over at Hinata who was looking down at the form of Naruto.

"No. We need him."
