Chapter 2
Hokage's Office
With that initial meeting out of the way and Kakashi finally dragging his genin away. So that Minato and Kushina can explain the situation to their younger children later. Along with Kushina wanting to discipline her twins so they can learn not to peep on important and private business between adults. No matter how much they whine… scary!
Now everyone was talking about how to adjust to the new setting. With Naruto and his family having no idea what Konoha is like and apparently dislike foxes from the Kyuubi did. Speaking of which, despite all initial disbeliefs. Naruto was a kyuubi and Minato just settled with the theory that the chakra from the bijuu effected Naruto since the bijuu's soul is trapped in one of the twins. The damn fox was probably listening into everything and mad that his power was taken.
"By any chance can you hide all that?" Minato asked, awkwardly pointing at the tails and ears.
"Minato!" Kushina yelled.
"I'm not trying to be mean Kushina! Unless everyone thinks this is a blessing from Inari. They aren't exactly going to be welcomed." Minato said before noticing Kunou's glare.
"No, my Kunou should be allowed to spread her tails as she wishes." Kushina said as she just wanted to stroke her granddaughter's ears and tails.
"Kunou stop glaring, you can spread your tails when we're somewhere safe and away from the public." Naruto said as Kunou pouted as she nudged herself onto her mother's lap. "Now, is there anything else I should mention?" Naruto asked.
Diablo whispered into his master's ear, "The fact that you are a part of a massive government elsewhere perhaps?" he asked.
"How do I put this into simple terms?" Naruto asked his butler.
"I will assist you to the best of my ability." Diablo answered.
"What's going on now?" Minato asked.
Later, the road
Minato and Kushina looked exhausted from being given the explanation of their son also being an emperor. Of a large organization that's connected to makai. Or at least that's how Naruto explained it as it isn't the proper afterlife where wicked souls go to be punished. Makai or as some call it, the underworld, is similar to what the ancient Greek believed. In that faith, the souls enter the underworld to transfer between Elysium and Tartarus. However Makai specifically is where most of the non-humans and some more sophisticated devils come from. Not to be confused with demons as they're more antagonistic and even turn on each other.
Especially when it had direct connections to human realms. Especially when close to kingdoms such as Re-Estize and Merlromarc. Although that in itself is run by three factions with their own territories with direct access to Makai itself. With their main duty to keep their own people in line and avoid the few humans trying to cause needless conflict.
That aside, being the ruler of something bigger than Hi no Kuni even if it's a collaboration. Still makes it a lot to take in. Especially with the royal seals and crests Naruto and his spouse carry. Meaning Kunou was literally a princess as well. However that also meant there was a chance that something from another realm was likely making its way here where the ninja villages are. That aside, the group couldn't help but notice the attention they got from the Konoha citizens who were wondering where the dragon came from.
"Who are the ones following Hokage-sama?"
"Are they foreign dignitaries?"
"Is that how they dress servants?"
"Forget them, what about the beauty in the golden kimono?"
"Nothing that beautiful can be human."
"Look at the adorable little Miko."
Kunou kept pouting as she glared at every villager who was staring at her adorable form. She didn't like strangers looking at her that way or referring to her as a small helpless child. Kunou may be a child, but she was mature for her age despite her tendencies.
"We should move faster." Naruto suggested with Minato nodding.
It was only a matter of time before more people question Tohru's sudden appearance when she was in dragon form. Although that may not be the strangest thing happening lately.
Elsewhere
There stood an elderly man in the robes of a wizard. The elderly man looked around with his telescope wondering where he was. So that left him in quite a predicament as to what to do.
"Bad news Pazuzu, it appears that wormhole has taken us to another realm. To which one, I don't know." the elderly man said sadly.
"Sir please get off." said a man.
"Fine." the old man said as he moved.
"No I mean get your gargoyle off of me." the man said as a demonic looking gargoyle landed on top of him a while ago.
The old man looked between his familiar and the man, "Don't play with your food Pazuzu." he said as the gargoyle let out a roar.
Before picking up the man with his talons and flying away, "AHHH! PUT ME DOWN!" he yelled. Pazuzu dropped him from very high above the ground, "Not like this!" he yelled before a loud crunch was heard.
The old man shook his head, "You should have been more specific." he said as he stroked his beard. "I am the Great Wizard Greyfarn, but I am no psychic." he said.
"Someone help me… please!" the injured man pleaded.
"I am no sumeritan either!" Greyfarn said as Pazuzu landed on the poor man again. Greyfarn climbed onto his familiar's back, "To the sky's again Pazuzu!" he commanded.
With another squawk, Pazuzu picked up the injured man and started flying. The injured man screamed in terror again causing Greyfarn to develop a headache. To end his pain, Greyfarn told his familiar to drop the man again.
"Put him down Pazuzu." Greyfarn commanded.
"AHHHH!" the man screamed as he plummeted back onto the earth.
"D'oh! I should have been specific. Okay, that time was my fault." Greyfarn said admitting his mistakes.
As the elderly wizard wondered around the skies of Hi no Kuni. He kept looking around for civilization wondering if there was anywhere safe for him to land and seek answers. Preferably anywhere with an inn that serves familiars like Pazuzu. Although the old man seemed like a crazy senile man with no concern or awareness for anything around him. He gulped as he saw various wormholes appearing around the skies from far distances.
"Oh my, not very good news." Grefarn said with a worried look. When Pazuzu suddenly squawked again, "Well I could go out there and assist anyone who needs help like a good person. As well as risking my life to prevent dangers. But I'm already in my pajamas." he said before sleeping while still flying.
A minute later, Greyfarn fell off of Pazuzu prompting the familiar to catch him by the leg. Which left the unfortunate people who were conveniently staring at the sky to see an old man hanging upside down with his underwear exposed to the world. As if nothing horrible was happening at all.
Back in Konoha
In the home of the Uzumaki and Namikaze family. Naruto and Yasaka settled in with their daughter seeing as they have to find a way back home later. So for now, they had to find some temporary living situation. Which left Kushina happy as she could spend time with her loved ones. Mainly her granddaughter and the woman who married her son who is carrying more chilldren.
"So when is the baby coming?" Kushina asked Yasaka.
"Any day now I suppose. Although if they're anything like Kunou. It's going to be stressful trying to push them out." Yasaka said while Kunou herself looked at the women in curisoity.
Meanwhile Naruto was lookinag at photos with Minato, "And this is your student before he became a cyclops?" he asked.
"That's a whole other thing." Minato said as he didn't want to explain Obito and Rin's deaths.
"What about that one?" Naruto asked pointing at a pregnant Kushina.
"My nightmares." Minato answered before a book hit him in the back of the head.
"Wrong answer." Naruto said as Minato rubbed a lump on his head. "You say, "Best day ever" and mean it." he said as Minato cried anime tears.
"Tou-san, can we come down now?" Mito asked.
"Why are you hiding in the first place?" Minato asked as he saw the nervous twins. Minato sighed as they kept their heads down, "Get down here. Now you can properly introduce yourselves to your brother." he said as both hesitantly walked down the stairs.
They really didn't like the idea of their brother actually being a young adult man that towered over them. With the eyes of a warrior instead of some random child. So it was really intimidating to face down someone with a personality only Tobirama Senju would find friendly.
"Uh, hi?" Arashi asked.
"Hello child." Naruto responded blankly.
3…
2…
1…
"I am not a child!" Arashi yelled before having his head patted too hard.
"Yes are, now accept it." Naruto said as Arashi groaned.
"Hi I'm Mito, and I'm your imouto!" Mito said trying to use the cute sister technique.
"Good for you, now why are the two of you dressed up as traffic cones?" Naruto asked as both sweat dropped.
"Orange is amazing!" Mito yelled angrily.
"No it isn't. I think you two need a change of wardrobe if you want to survive in the wild." Naruto said as Mito pouted and glared.
"They're sensitive about their outfits for some reason." Minato said as Mito was banging her fist's onto Naruto's chest.
Naruto lifted up Mito and Arashi by their heads, "Well fashion doesn't look like everyone's strong suit." he said as the twins were now running in place. "Now, let's try again. I am Naruto and I am your elder brother. This is Kunou, your official niece." he said as Kunou appeared from behind them.
Both kids waved to Kunou who looked at them curiously. Just as Kunou spread her tails again, Mito had stars in her eyes. Prompting her to reach for Kunou so she can lift up her niece and stroke her ears and tails. Which made Kunou hide behind her father again. Meanwhile Arashi was trying to look away from the chibi kyuubi's adorable form.
"Let me stroke you Kunou-chan!" Mito pleaded.
Kunou shook her head, "No, I don't care if you're my oba-sama." she said.
"I'll give you some tasty ramen. I even know a good…"
"Ramen is bad for you." Kunou said making Mito's heart break like glass.
"Ramen is not bad for you!" Mito argued only to see Kunou stick her tongue out.
"Mito, don't pick fights with small kids." Arashi said earning a glare from Mito.
While this happened, Yasaka and Kushina moved their conversation into the kitchen. Both enjoying their talks as Rem and Ram helped Tohru clean and prepare the kitchen for dinner. Leaving Minato sighing at the crazy family he has and the unique guests he has for today.
'Just wait until I tell the twins about the Chunin Exams. No doubt Kakashi is only going to encourage them.' Minato mentally told himself.
Meanwhile, outskirts of Konoha
Another portal opened up in the outskirts of the nation. Revealing a group of adventurers from Merlormarc along with a large squadron of knights from the same nation. All of them were being lead by the Spear Hero, Motoyasu Kitamura, and the First Princess, Malty S Melromarc. All of them were heading towards Konoha as they saw it as another human civilization. Although Malty being her manipulative and greedy self saw only her self interest.
And was hoping to use her soldiers and Spear Hero as human meat shields in case things went wrong. For Malty was hoping to gather information about the village and see what she can gain from her exploration. Although to her, she assumed everyone here to be an underdeveloped savage.
"Wow, this place looks like feudal Japan." Motoyasu said adding to Malty's theory.
"Then it shouldn't be that difficult to navigate around. Besides, they will worship me for being royalty." Malty said with the flip of her hair.
What lied under all that luscious beauty was the disgusting personality of the princess. Not even some of the arrogant nobility from other nations could match her disgusting attitude. Nor would a secretly psychotic princess from the kingdom of Re-Estize. Leaving Malty with the expectation that she could seduce or charm her way into the village to get whatever she wants.
Only her thoughts were cut off by a loud explosion in the distance. The miniature force stopped as they noticed smoke coming from within the forest.
"Was that a meteor or something?" Motoyasu asked.
"Can you check for me please?" Malty asked making Motoyasu grin.
"Sure thing princess! I'll just take two guys and go look!" Motoyasu said motivated by his manhood.
Malty kept grinning until Motoyasu took two guards and left. Where she frowned and let out a loud yawn. She then faced her party members and loyal guards before ordering them to build up a temporary camp. Just to rest for a moment as they had been traveling many hours since the end of the previous waves. Malty didn't like being sucked through a wormhole but now she was stuck here until they find a way back to her kingdom.
"And I can get a warm bath instead of getting my boots dirty." Malty said, unaware of the dangers of this realm.
Within the forest
Deep inside the forest, what crashed down wasn't a meteor. As it would have dealt a bigger impact. Along with the fact that the item that crashed looked advanced and contained various objects. Which was explored first by a woman with snakes in her hair and three men who looked like buffoons.
"The sky had a baby!" said the youngest of the buffoons.
"I do not believe anyone wants to respond to that." said the eldest.
The youngest ran up to the item, "Is it a boy or a girl? Or… is it twins?" he asked with a gasp.
"Igner just step away from the cargo pod. It's military grade and probably full dangerous equipment." the middle man said nervously.
"Good, you realized the dangers Larry." the woman said.
"T-Thank you M-Momon, I actually…" he was interrupted by Momon giving him a crowbar.
"You and Igner can open it while Walt can inspect the danger and see if anything is worth saving." Momon explained.
Larry grimaced at the idea before taking the crowbar, "Yay! We're helping a baby delivery!" Igner exclaimed.
After a few minutes of ripping open the pod. Walt brushed his two brothers aside and poked his head in. Before lighting a match to see what was inside. When suddenly, he saw various lights in the shape of eyes activate. Walt pondered what was going on before reporting back to Momon.
"It appears to be old fashioned automatons." Walt said.
Momon sighed, "They won't be worth anything. We might as well strip them down." She said as the machines came to life and exited the pod.
"Identity required." one said.
Momon held out an identification pass, "The idiots are with me." she said.
The machines continued to step out and organize themselves. When suddenly, Motoyasu appeared with the guards. Where he looked around before pointing his weapon at Momon as if she were a threat.
"Step back monster! I won't let you hurt my princess!" Motoyasu said thinking Momon was after Malty.
Momon's eye twitched, "Attack! Attack! It annoyed me!" she commanded.
Motoyasu snorted at the machines, "What are they going to do? Give me directions?" he asked.
"Initiate reconstruction of the human face." the lead automaton said as all of their hands transformed into buzzsaws.
"Men, there is no shame in running away. Because now is a good time to do so." Motoyasu said as he bolted once they started chasing him.
"Well that's a good use of old machinery." Walt commented.
"That's what I was going to say until you interrupted me!" Momon said before slapping Walt.
Back to the camp
Malty yawned as she waited for Motoyasu to arrive. It's not like she was worried and hoping for his safe return like a stereotypical princess waiting for her knight in shining armor. But she would find herself in real trouble if something happened to the womanizer. Not even caring that he's some random human who was given one of the four Cardinal Weapons at random, Malty just saw him as a tool like Aultcray saw Naofumi Iwatani as an outlet of his idiotic rage.
Not that Malty agreed with that laster part entirely. Then again, she didn't bother learning about politics despite wanting to be queen. For Malty S Melromarc wasn't aware that her own mother was doing her best to prevent a one sided war against her kingdom.
Regardless, Malty was feeling impatient and was being annoyed and ordered one of her knights to go look for Motoyasu's group.
"You, what's your name?" Malty asked.
"Fry ma'am!" he answered.
"Go look for Motoyasu-sama's group." Malty ordered.
"Will do!" Fry said as he left the camp.
A few seconds later, the entire camp heard lots of loud screaming and sounds of crunching. Which left the entire forest silent aside from the sounds of birds leaving the trees. Then it was followed by more screams of what was likely humans being filled with nothing but true agony. As Motoyasu was the first to exit the forest while covered in various cuts.
"Princess! Robots are attacking!" Motoyasu yelled.
"What's attacking?" Malty asked, having never heard of the term "robot" before.
"No time! We gotta go!" Motoyasu yells again as he lifts Malty over his shoulder and runs.
Leaving the party and knights behind, "What did he just say happened?" one knight asked.
A few more seconds later, several automatons came out, "Kill all humans." they said.
"Just a few homicidal machines. I guess it's just nothing." The same knight said as everyone ran away in terror. Before he himself realized the situation, "AHHHH!" he screamed before he tried to fight back.
Elsewhere in the forest
A beautiful pink haired woman in a white suit walked down the trail of the forest with two infant children. Both having fox like figures, but slightly different appearances to each other. The woman smiled at their sleeping forms until it was ruined by the sight of Motoyasu running out of the forest. With Malty hanging over his shoulder as he ran.
"RUN! ROBOTS ARE ATTACKING!" Motoyasu yelled as he ran past the woman. Only to slowly walk backwards towards the sexy woman, "Hey there, so what brings a sexy secretary like you this far?" he asked, leering at the woman's appearance.
When she suddenly pointed a silenced pistol to his face, "Definitely not to see you." she said.
Then Motoyasu said something one should never say to a woman, "I see, you're a little busy. Maybe we can catch up after you leave your pets with your folks." he said thinking Naegi and Hinata were pets based on their animalistic apperances.
The woman's eye's twitched, "I think you need a lesson in manners about mocking a woman's children." she said trading her pistol for a rocket launcher.
Malty paled at the sheer size of the weapon, 'I should have picked the Sword Hero.' she thought before Motoyasu ran away again.
The woman nodded, "That's right, that man is too pathetic to be within my own line of vision." she grumbled.
When suddenly the army of robots chasing the forces of Melromarc came out. With all of them slowly catching up to the knights and mages with them. It was hilarious considering the fact that the woman could tell they were an old model with poor speed, durability and were far too clunky.
"My stocks almost went down when I put money on those things." she said before one robot scanned her. "Can I help you?" she asked.
"Identity confirmed, please enjoy the rest of your afternoon Koyanskaya-sama." the robot said before joining it's kind to chase down the group.
Both babies stirred awake and looked at their mother in confusion. Both wondering what woke them up as well as what is happening around them. Koyanskaya sighed as she looked back at the group.
"That, is ironic and divine justice." Koyanskaya answered before continuing their walk towards Konoha
Back at the Namikaze home
Things were more quiet compared to everything outside of the village. To be fair, almost no one was aware of what was going on out there. Leaving things a bit more peaceful within the home and the extended family.
"So enough about me, what is this village like?" Naruto asked having already seen that child soldiers were a thing but didn't want to bring it up again.
"Well, we have the chunin exams coming up. It's supposed to be an alternative to war as it lessens the bloodshed and offers a chance for everyone to show their skills to clients." Minato explained.
"So you're mercenaries, not soldiers." Naruto said.
Minato looked sheepish, "Well, I wouldn't put it like that. I mean, a civilization needs money right?" he asked.
Naruto shook his head, "It depends on the work. While morales can be questioned, it depends on what can come from the job." he answered.
Sure no nation is innocent and sometimes dirty tricks are necessary to survive. However, sometimes the character of a nation is put into question by how far they go. That's why the humans and non-humans attempt to establish an event where sets of laws are set in a world treaty of sorts. Similar to what another realm calls, The Geneva Convention. Thus, it was an attempt to keep everyone in line but even then things are difficult.
Although hidden villages are much more unpredictable as the peace that Hashirama Senju wanted has yet to arrive. With the distribution of the Bijuu, it only gave them weapons to keep themselves enthroned than to stop all the wars. Along with reducing the fighting to a few groups hiding behind a few banners. So it was safe to say that unification had failed while the human and non-human kingdoms have created more organization. Especially to cooperate against the rogue groups who are either vengeful or self righteous.
Hence the reason why Makai isn't as bad as religious scriptures make it look. It's also not a damp place filled with only fire and suffering, but it does lack real water and a blue sky.
"Some things can't be helped I guess. Not all of us have that power, but we do strive for peace." Minato said but Naruto wasn't impressed.
"We will see what power you lack." Naruto said as his views were different.
"Hey let's go back the chunin exams! Are we allowed to join Tou-san!?" Arashi asked.
"Its up to Kakashi if he wants to nominate you. Though knowing him, it's going to be a big no if he shows up late." Minato said as he was very sure he needed to put a literal leash on his last student.
The twins groaned, "You need to keep your soldiers in line. They may not like some choices, but tough love is necessary. Not all of us can have what we want." Naruto commented.
"I know, but the issue is getting it through to Kakashi's head." Minato said.
"I can encourage him." Kushina offered.
"Without permanent injury." Minato added making Kushina frown at what he was implying.
Yasaka then stood up, "It was a wonderful dinner and I thank the two of you. However, I'm feeling a bit exhausted. Is there somewhere where I may rest?" she asked gracefully, along with the fact that her unborn child made Yasaka more tired every so often.
"I can show you Yasaka-chan." Kushina said as she lead her daughter-in-law to a spare room.
Naruto turned towards his daughter, "Do you want to join her Kunou?" he asked.
"I'm okay tou-sama." Kunou said as she continued eating her dinner.
Minato decided to interact with his granddaughter, "So Kunou, do you train?" He asked.
Kunou turned to her father in confusion, "Kunou isn't a fighter. She knows self defense but isn't interested in fight." Naruto said for her.
"Oh." Minato said feeling awkward.
"I want to be more of a leader like kaa-sama anyways. She's better with leadership." Kunou said.
"So everyone counts on Yasaka?" Mito asks.
"Mostly, but tou-sama is less internal and more external." Kunou said trying to explain her father's political powers.
"Doesn't it ever get boring with all the paperwork?" Arashi asked.
"Only if bureaucracy fails and I have to do everything myself. I have final say, but I don't have the power to control every tiny detail." Naruto explained as he didn't have as much workloads as Minato.
Which the Yondaime envied. Although Minato didn't have time to be concerned about his lost son's power and privileges as he had to worry about who was at the door. Instead of letting Tohru get it on the account that she was technically a guest. Minato answered it to see an ANBU at his door.
"Hokage-sama, there's a unique group waiting at the gate for entry. It's rather difficult to explain." the ANBU said making Minato sigh.
"I'll be right back." Minato said to his family before leaving to the gate.
A couple hours later
Once again, Naruto was called in again because this was something he was more knowledgeable with. The reason being that Momon and Koyanskaya met up after seeing the forces of Merlromarc had been caught after being brutalized by the machines. With just then less of the machines remaining active due to the heavy fighting. Well that and most of the machines had a low battery life, thus they fell apart upon running out of energy.
Now Minato and Naruto were looking at a pink haired woman, an elderly woman and the annoying princess of Melromarc who was tied and gagged to a pole. Mostly to keep her silent because she was screaming threats behind the rag keeping her silent.
"Hello grandmother." Naruto greeted, surprising Minato.
"Hello Naruto, I would say it's a pleasure but I found this thing after I found this one." Momon said as she referred to Koyanskaya as the latter.
"I was minding my own business. I didn't even know there was anything going on." Koyanskaya said being honest.
"I'll talk to you later as to why you're here. However, why is this pathological liar here?" Naruto asked earning a glare from Malty.
"As if I know, I was on business when this and some idiot carrying a spear walked in on me finding old automatons." Momon explained.
"And where is the spear wielder?" Naruto asked earning a shrug.
"Could you explain to me what's going on and who these people are?" Minato asked sounding horribly confused.
Naruto sighed, "As I mentioned, there are many realms and several ways to connect them. One of the closest human kingdoms is Melromarc, where this whore is from." he said pointing at Malty who cursed from behind her gag. "The queen is a good woman but her husband is a fool who relies on hate and preys on that hate to encourage his people. This princess encourages his actions and she's known to be a pathological liar that sleeps with many men to manipulate them." he explained.
Minato sighed, "If she's really a princess. Is there a way we can deal with this without committing an international incident?" he asked nervously.
"Naruto who is this man? You said he was a leader and yet I see a coward afraid of losing his reputation." Momon said critically.
"He's my biological father… apparently." Naruto answered, causing a rain cloud to appear over Minato's head.
"A-Apparently?" Minato asked.
Momon narrowed her eyes, "I'm guessing your mother is where you get your guts from. Now onto the question, as long as the Queen gets word of this. You should be in the clear." she said.
Koyanskaya tilted her head, "Mhm, but what if that fat king wants to start something?" she asked, referring to Aultcray.
Naruto sighed, "Likely remind Mirellia that marrying a senior citizen who's senile was a bad idea." he said as Aultcray looked far older than his wife.
During all this, Malty has been screaming death threats from behind her gag. As well as mentally cursing Motoyasu for accidentally leaving her behind when those automatons were chasing them. Leaving her wondering where that idiot was hiding and how he planned to save her from this mess.
"I think we need to get the council involved if this is an otherworldly thing." Minato said as the group nodded.
"But where do we keep this thing?" Naruto asked while pointing at Malty who was cursing under her gag.
Later, council meeting
The shinobi and civilian side were all curious as to the sudden summons as it was getting pretty late in the day. They didn't have to think about it long as Minato came in with his strange new entourage. Which already made some of the council already look concerned.
"Greetings everyone, I would like to present Momon, Koyanskaya and… Naruto." Minato said already earning confused looks. "Before I explain them, I have some news that may sound unbelievable." he said.
"Well, we're waiting!" Koharu said before Momon slapped her.
"Is that how you treat your village leader?" Momon asked.
Then Homura stood up, "You are a foreigner in our village. How dare you slap one of the honorable elders?" he asked.
Then Momon slapped him, "Do not speak as if you have greater authority!" she said berating him.
Finally came Danzo, "I think you best learn your…"
Danzo was interrupted with a slap, "Don't interrupt me!" she said followed by slapping all three at once and forcing them to sit.
"Hokage-sama, what is it that we need to know?" Shikaku asked, fearing he would also be slapped.
"That, well I think Naruto here needs to explain everything. So, try not to interrupt as he explains things." Minato said with a sigh.
At the same time, with Motoyasu
Seeing that he blundered and accidentally let Malty get captured. Motoyasu saw it in his righteous spirit as a hero to save her from the evil of the village. So once he entered Konoha from scaling the wall. Motoyasu was briefly surprised by the sight of a Feudal style era village filled only with humans. But he put those thoughts aside and started sneaking around the village.
While trying not to look suspicious, Motoyasu squatted behind some boxes and moved at a snail's pace before finding an orange book. Where he used it to cover his face as to avoid drawing attention. Unfortunately, this only earned him glares from the women. Which got worse as he winked at them for a brief second.
"Pervert!" one yelled before kicking him in the crotch.
"OW!" Motoyasu shouted as he dropped the book and fell onto a cabbage stand.
"My cabbages!" the stand owner screamed. Before he lifted up Motoyasu by his shirt, "You're going to pay for that!" he yelled.
Motoyasu quickly pulled out his money bag, "Just take it! I need to go!" he said as he quickly broke the grip. At least until the bag was thrown at his head, "What's your problem now?" He asked.
"That money doesn't work here! You think you can get away with foreign money!?" the stand owner asked angrily.
"Uh…" Motoyasu muttered before running away.
"Help! Vandal!" the stand owner yelled.
"He's also a pervert!" a concerned woman added.
At this point, Motoyasu realized he screwed up hard. Now he was being chased around like a common criminal. He didn't understand it, this happened once in Melromarc and no one cared. So why was everyone uptight?
"Ma ma, you've been causing a lot of trouble." said a lazy voice.
Motoyasu stopped as Kakashi suddenly appeared while still reading his book, "Huh? W-Who are you?" he asked as he pulled out a spear.
"My name is Kakashi and you've been causing quite a ruckus. Too bad, I thought we could be friends since we like the same literature." Kakashi said pointing at his book.
Motoyasu recognized that book, "Hey, didn't I just have one of those?" he asked.
"Yes, are you a fan of Jiraiya-sama's description of the description of beautiful women as well?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile.
*THUNDER SHOCK*
Motoyasu realized what Kakashi was saying, 'I… I was carrying porn?' he mentally asked himself.
"Regardless, I'm afraid I have to take you in for questioning." Kakashi said trying to reach for the Spear Hero.
"No way! I'm busting Myne out of here!" Motoyasu exclaims as he draws his spear.
"I don't know who this Myne person is, but you leave me no choice." Kakashi said as he put the book away.
With a war cry, Motoyasu tried to stab Kakashi with the spear. Which missed and the strikes following it did not fare any better. As Kakashi was far too quick for the Spear Hero to hit him. Not only that, he was able to slap the spear away before landing a heavy blow under Motoyasu's chin. Motoyasu took a long time to recover from the pain before stumbling towards Kakashi again as his spear returned to his hand.
As he used his enhanced speed to attack the copy ninja. Kakashi put in some more effort to avoid the attacks before using a kawairimi to confuse Motoyasu.
"These people are made of wood!?" Motoyasu asked with a shocked face.
"1000 Years of Death!" Kakashi shouted as Motoyasu's face contorted into one of great discomfort.
"Did you just…?" Motoyasu asked as he slowly turned his head. Finding Kakashi's index fingers poking his butt, "AHHHH!" he screamed as he was sent flying into the sky.
"I guess I went too far." Kakashi said as he saw Motoyasu crash into the hot springs.
If the screams were any indication of anything. It meant Kakashi sent his foe into the women's side. At least Jiraiya isn't in the village to complain about his "research" being interrupted.
Later, at the meeting
It was a lot of information to take into account. With a lot of it being unbelievable which earned a few outbursts. However that was stopped by Momon constantly slapping everyone who interrupted Naruto's explanation. From being told that the lost son of their Yondaime being alive and mutated from the Kyuubi's chakra to a set of other realms governed by humans, monsters, demons and hybrids. With Naruto being in charge of one of the factions with two others, now three with Licht,
That and the fact that there holding a princess as a prisoner. Which Naruto keeps saying things will go well as long as the queen, Malty's mother, gets ahold of this information.
"And if her father finds out?" Shikaku asked.
"I think by now, he would need to be more worried about a global conflict." Naruto said as he had yet to fully explain the heroes event he had recently heard about. "Though the only one more incompetent than him is the King of Falmuth." he added.
"This has to be the most preposterous…!"
*SLAP*
"Be quiet!" Momon yelled at the civilian who interrupted Naruto.
Only to be interrupted again. By a team of ANBU lead by Kakashi who was bringing in a badly injured Motoyasu. Who was such in bad shape, had his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Although he was clearly still conscious as he could mumble some words and react to pain from being slapped around a few times.
"And here is the Spear Hero. The fool was leading the group here with that stupid princess." Momon said.
"Princess… Princess! Give me back Myne!" Motoyasu yelled.
Right before Momon slapped him again, "Be silent and wait your turn fool!" she yelled as Motoyasu recoiled in fear.
"Creepy snake lady." Motoyasu muttered.
"Okay who is this guy?" Shikaku asked.
"One of the heroes I suppose. I heard most of them have been causing trouble before the teleportation shifts." Naruto said identifying the weapon Motoyasu carried.
"Hero? Is that supposed to be a title?" Inoichi asked.
"It's my Job!" Motoyasu exclaimed.
"So what? You work at the hero store?" Shikaku asked lazily
"No! I'm here to save the Kingdom of Melromarc and cute girls alike!" Motoyasu yelled before being slapped again.
"Sounds like a bad draft that Jiraiya sensei came up with." Minato said as this kid was really annoying him.
Motoyasu struggled to break free, "I will be free and I will stop your tyranny!" he yelled.
Everyone sweat dropped, "You're the one destroy cabbage stands." Kakashi pointed out.
However before Motoyasu could utter more stupidity. Koyanskaya was sniffing Kakashi as if he was covered in a pheromone. Kakashi felt really uncomfortable with how close the pink haired woman was. Even more so as she made a strange purring sound.
"Found you!" Koyanskaya said as she was ready to pounce.
"Do I know you?" Kakashi asked nervously.
"Aw, you forgot me already? We only met about a year or so ago." Koyanskaya said making Kakashi nervous.
"What are you talking about?" Kakashi asked.
Koyanskaya's grin was so wide, everyone could see her fangs, "You're my mate. You and the one who can summon wood gave me my babies." she said revealing Naegi and Hinata.
"I have no idea what you're… oh kami. It's coming back to me now!" Kakashi said gripping his head.
"Kakashi, what did you do?" Minato asked when Yamato suddenly made a barrier around Koyanskaya.
"Run senpai!" Yamato yelled as he lead the way.
Just as the two ran, Koyanskaya shattered the wood with her heels, "You won't escape me again!" she yells as she gently hands the babies over to Naruto and Momon before chasing the two men.
Momon studied one of the infants, "Did she really just travel here to find those men?" she asked.
"Well unlike me, they clearly ran away from responsibility." Naruto said as the whole council was confused.
"Are you telling me those pups belong to Hatake?" Tsume Inuzuka asked.
"Kits actually." Naruto corrected as everyone saw Naegi's ears and tail.
"A fox? Is that a real fox hybrid?" Shikaku asked as his mind started to shut down.
Minato sighed, "I need a word with my student." he said while pinching the bridge of his nose.
Then a civilian with some brains spoke up, "Whatever it is, I fail to see why they're running away from a beautiful woman like that. If only I was that popular." he said earning a few nods.
Though the male clan heads kept quiet. Mainly because their wives were friends with Yoshino Nara. Yoshino was not someone who skips out on punishing poor Shikaku with a frying pan if needed. After a minute of silence, Yamato could be heard screaming outside.
"NO NO NO! I'M NOT READY FOR PARENTHOOD!" Yamato screamed.
"I guess that means Kakashi got away." Minato said.
"Not likely." Momon said as she activated a rune that activated the automatons that still functioned.
Ignoring the sounds of dozens of clunky running footsteps. Everyone tried to focus again on the meeting. Especially with all the various details and revelations being revealed today. Followed by what could have been a potential act of terrorism on Motoyasu and Malty's part. Though most really hoped Naruto was right when he mentioned Queen Mirellia.
"I think we should worry about what to do with this one and his comrades." Choza said speaking up.
"Other than letting my grandmother slap him around. He does need to be contained as he's patriotic but stupid." Naruto said as Motoyasu glared at him.
"I say just feed him to Morino. See what secret plots are going on in his mind." one civilian said sounding smart.
"Or we let me have him. I could use him as a guinea pig." Momon said threateningly.
"For what may I ask?" Minato asked.
"Momon is an entrepreneur of sorts." Naruto answered as Momon started pulling out her tools.
"Any other details we should go over before wrapping this up?" Minato asked seeing mostly silence.
Later, at home
Momon threw her coat down on a couch and let out a sigh, "A lovely place, for the leader of the village. At least you have some taste." she told Minato.
"Thank you Momon, I hope you enjoy your stay." Minato said about to close the door.
When the three brothers came in holding Momon's bags, "Hi I'm Igner!" said the least intelligent brother.
"Uh Hello Igner, who's are they?" Minato asked.
"My three sons. Now then." Momon said as she cleared her throat. "Kunou! Grandma's home!" she announced.
"Obaa-sama!" Kunou came running out to jump into her adoptive great grandmother's arms.
"How's my little chibi?" Momon asked just as Arashi and Mito arrived. "And what's with the traffic cones?" she asked.
"We're not traffic cones!" the twins yelled.
Minato sighed, "This is going to be a long visit." he said.
A week later
When Minato woke up to prepare his day as the village leader. He didn't expect for it to involve a lot of of his own citizens to line up like zombies. With them just making one giant loop of a line to visit a store Momon somehow set up.
"What the hell is this?" Minato asked.
"Presenting the Eyephone, by Momon." said a mechanical voice from a holographic styled projection.
"The what?" Minato asked.
Naruto came out with his wife and daughter to see the commotion, "My grandmother made another product. Now even this village has become the byproduct of capitalism." He explained.
"How did you meet Momon again?" Minato asked.
"One of my uncles found me as a baby in a field. So instead of thinking they found something stupid, or possibly Igner picking up dog feces again. Momon took me and raised me as her own." Naruto explained.
"And she's a shark when it comes to business." Yasaka added.
"I can see that. Did she buy the entertainment district?" Minato asked as he saw a lot of construction deeper into the village.
"She probably did or she intimidated weaker businesses." Naruto said before hearing a building collapse.
"NOOOOO! Not my cabbage corp!" yelled the father of the stand owner that Motoyasu ran into from the week before.
Minato thought finding his son was a joyous day. Instead it was an absolute nightmare. Ranging from foreign attacks to a woman just ruling over most of his home's economy like a tyrant. Even worse, it's with flashy products that are futuristic and intrigue the locals. His sorrows were interrupted by the sight of a limousine style carriage passing by him. With the window being opened to reveal Momon herself.
"Get in, all of you." Momon said.
"Actually I need to get to…" Minato didn't get the chance to finish as he was pulled in by Momon's sons.
With Naruto, Yasaka and Kunou following suit as the long carriage drove away.
"What is this?" Minato asked.
"A limo, a long, fancy and expensive mode of transportation." Momon answered.
"It's a literal waste of resources and it looks like a difficult vehicle to navigate with. The only positive I see is a water cooler and the flashy design." Minato said with a shocked face.
"That's the point of being wealthy." Momon answered before they eventually arrived at a giant structure.
"Isn't this where the slums used to be? We've been trying to get them rebuilt!" Minato exclaimed.
Momon laughed at his explanation, "I replaced it with a large shopping center. I got the idea from some plans I saw in other realms. They're called malls for short." she answered.
"What about the homeless?" Minato asked as he was concerned about helping the unlucky citizens of Konoha.
Momon scoffed, "I gave them jobs and discounted rent at the nearest hotels and apartments." she said.
Momon wasn't too generous but she had some form of a human heart in her. Mainly because she saw it as a way to manipulate the poor into getting cheap labor with the promise of getting the bare essentials to live. It's better to wake up in a bed with food on the table than sharing a hobble and worrying about people shanking you at night.
With that said, she saw three valets preparing for her carriage's arrival. When the limo-carriage stopped, the three proceeded to get on their hands and knees as if they were stairs. Where Momon slowly and painfully walked down on them.
"Good job boys." Momon said as she gave them a few Ryo.
"I think I can get out on my own." Naruto said as he hopped down.
After that, he caught Kunou in his arms and gently placed her down. Before doing the same with Yasaka who also didn't want to step on a human being. Minato gave the three workers a weak smile and nervous chuckle before handing them some pocket change as well.
'I guess it's this or attacking an innocent for a slice of bread.' Minato thought as he knew times were tough.
"Thank you Hokage-sama, it was an honor." said a valet that winced in pain.
"At least they weren't wearing high heels." another said.
Inside the mall
Despite a lot of construction and safety measures being put into place. The mall was a giant modernized bazaar filled with various shops including a few merchants with their own products to sell. Of course, they had to pay royalties to Momon but it was worth it as it got more attention for their clients. With even visitors from outside the village arriving to take a look.
Which only added more security in the form of more automatons that identified Konoha shinobi plus it was good training for some of the inexperienced shinobi. Mostly those that were on probation and were quickly terrified of Momon's wrath in order to be rehabilitated faster.
"And here is the center of attention." Momon said revealing a giant plaza that is a couple of stories down.
"How did you even built this so quickly!?" Minato asked.
"Time and money and automatons don't complain." Momon said as machines only needed to be charged before continuing their work.
"I see." Minato said as he gave a tired look to a pair of automatons that were adjusting a pillar.
Ironically, Minato never expected to see his wife here or the other mothers. Because after looking around for a couple of minutes. He found Kushina dragging around his younger children with her. Surprisingly enough, even the other rookies were being dragged around except Hinata who came at her own free will as Hiashi had his clan business to do. So she was with Kurenai who invited her.
"Tou-san save us!" Mito and Arashi yelled as they ran to their father's side.
"What's happening?" Minato asked.
"I'm just taking the kids shopping. I don't want them looking like it's pumpkin season." Kushina answered.
Minato sighed, 'Yellow and red make orange. I should have known better.' he thought.
Momon nodded, "Good, this place lacks carriages. We do not need any traffic cones." she said.
"Stop calling us that!" Mito yelled before being slapped.
"Then stop being a traffic cone!" Momon yelled back.
"Maybe they want to be leaves. Except they can't because it's not Fall yet." Igner said.
Walt gave his brother an emotionless stare, "I congratulate you on figuring out what season leaves turn orange, Igner." he said.
"Yay! I know things!" Igner exclaimed.
"Yes, but not enough things!" Momon said as she slapped all three of them together.
Some time later
Minato believed he saw enough and chose to hiraishin himself to his office. Before Momon could do anything too crazy related to the village without him knowing. Only now, the twins had no one to save them from Kushina dragging them to go shopping for clothes. With Naruto not caring one bit for the two who were trying their best to stand their ground.
Instead, Kushina dragged them with her monstrous strength. Which somewhat damaged the floor where the twins tried to stick to using their chakra control techniques. It was another rough day for the poor janitor who had to clean up the mess as well as report the damage.
"Just another day in the life of old Scruffy." the janitor said to himself.
At least he wasn't whining like the kids when Kushina randomly put them into clothes to try on. Mainly because she was too curious to see what looked nice.
"Kaa-san no!" Arashi yelled as he was put into a sweater vest and tie.
"No! No! Not the summer dress! It's too girly!" Mito yelled.
"But it's orange, you said you love orange." Kushina said.
"This is Peach! I hate Peach!" Mito yelled before it was forced onto her.
"I should look for something for Kunou." Yasaka said as Kunou whimpered.
The chibi kyuubi didn't want to be like her aunt and uncle or the other rookies who were being forced into various outfits. Though some focused more on either supplies or any luxuries that looked nice.
"Do you want anything by chance Yasaka?" Naruto asked.
"Not right now dear, although I think Kunou might be interested in something." Yasaka said as Kunou looked around the mall.
Naruto gave a light chuckle, "Let's go look then." he said as he took his wife and daughter's hands.
A few minutes later
Kunou took a small bite out of a soft prezel and gave a sweet smile, "Yummy." she said.
"Don't eat with your mouth full." Yasaka said as she wiped her daughter's mouth clean.
"Sorry kaa-san." Kunou said after swallowing her snack.
"That's fine, but remember your manners." Yasaka said before kissing her daughter's cheek.
Naruto chuckled again, "How long has it been since we had a relaxing family outing?" he asked.
Yasaka smiled as she rested her head on her husband's shoulders, "Very long if you count for the public often paying their respects." she said.
Being an empress required a lot of elegance while in public. As an image would form an opinion of the leader of a nation. Yasaka is not directly responsible for as much tasks as her husband, but she still has her own leadership skills as well. With Kunou often feeling anxious despite her generally stoic facade as she's seen as a princess in Makai.
Now Yasaka felt more comfortable in a space where less people know her. Although that didn't mean she could let her physical appearance run loose. Speaking of which.
"Dear, tuck in your tail." Yasaka said as she saw a crimson tail wag.
"Sorry." Naruto said as it hid itself.
"You're still adorable after all these years." Yasaka whispered as she kissed her husband's cheek.
Before any public display of affection could run loose. Naruto noticed a special unit of security automatons guarding a steel door similar to a security room.
"I'll be right back." Naruto said as he left to inspect the room. 'Perhaps I can get a connection to Vali and Alucard there.' he thought.
While Naruto left in an attempt to find a way to communicate with his fellow emperors. Yasaka took a seat on a nearby bench with Kunou who continued enjoying her snack. The pregnancy was making her a lot more exhausted lately and she was a bit worried about the unborn child coming out any day now. For some reason Kunou almost felt a connection with her unborn sibling as she moved closer towards her mother.
"Is the baby kicking Kaa-sama?" Kunou asked.
Yasaka smiled at her daughter, "No bu they're making me feel exhausted dear." she said just as Kushina and the other mothers arrived.
"Where's Naruto-kun, Yasaka-chan?" Kushina asked.
"He had some business of some sort." Yasaka answered as she rubbed her stomach.
"Excuse me miss, but are you by chance pregnant?" asked a raven haired woman.
"Yes, and who are you?" Yasaka asked.
"Sorry, I'm Mikoto, a close friend of Kushina-chan." Mikoto said introducing herself.
Mikoto Uchiha was one of the few survivors of her clan's massacre. With most of the clan being composed of the elderly, civilians and a few children. With barely even a couple active shinobi due to the fact that they were outside of the village on a mission. Leaving Mikoto as the active clan head with the death of her husband and defection of her son who caused the massacre. Only she was a bit of a struggling parent due to her younger son, Sasuke, mental issues from the actions of his older brother.
At least now, she coped with her friends like Kushina.
"I see, I am Yasaka Uzumaki. Her daughter-in-law." she said surprising Mikoto.
"Kushina, I thought you were making this up." said Ichika Yamanaka, mother of Ino Yamanaka.
"Nope, my son is back, married and I have little Kunou-chan for a granddaughter." Kushina said as Kunou poked her head out.
It was a mistake on the child's part because every woman, even someone as ferocious as Tsume Inuzuka, fell in love with her adorable appearance. Now Kunou tried to hide her head which only made her look more cute in their eyes.
"She's a little miko too!" Mikoto squealed.
"I'm not little! I'm the future empress and a respectable leader!" Kunou exclaimed.
"She's also mature for her age." Kushina said lifting Kunou into a hug.
"Put me down obaa-sama!" Kunou commanded as Kushina carried her as if she were an infant.
Yasaka giggled at her daughter's antics. As mentioned before, she tries to be stoic and collected like her mother. Yet, Kunou is too much like her father at a young age. Now she was being forced into a hug and being presented by Kushina to her friends.
"Kaa-sama help me!" Kunou pleaded.
"I'm afraid it's out of my hands daughter." Yasaka replied.
As Kunou whined, Yasaka heard the sounds of a stroller. She turned her head to see Koyanska pushing a double sized stroller holding Naegi and Hinata who were quite fussy. With Yamato tagging along and carrying a large amount of bags as if he were a slave.
"I see another mother is here." Yasaka said.
"Well onee-sama, my babies need a lot of attention." Koyanskaya replied.
It was true, Koyanskaya is the sister of Yasaka. Adopted or biological, no one asked but the two grew up together with Yasaka being the adult. Though at the pink kitsune's age, Yasaka didn't trust her to handle children or find a mate. As they were still looking for kakashi who was still in hiding.
Yamato didn't have as much luck as he did when he impregnated Koyanskaya. To summarize, on seperate dates, Koyanskaya lured men who she deemed to be worthy and strong to be her mate. At one point it was Kakashi and some other point, it was Yamato. Now both were her husband as per yokai mating rituals. Only the problem now is not trying to find Kakashi, but the fact he broke laws that were established before Naruto and the others were crowned as rulers.
Hence, Kakashi might earn a death sentence or become an eunoch servant unless he accepts his duty as a husband. Makai also believes in gender equality, so nothing is stopping women from obtaining harems like male monarchs typically do.
"How did I get myself into this?" Yamato asked sadly.
Koyanskaya giggled, "Because you love me." she said teasing him.
"I'm not drinking with senpai again." Yamato muttered when he was suddenly hit in the head by a can that broke through the glass from the ceiling.
"What is that?" Koyanskaya asked.
Yasaka picked up the can as it rolled towards her, "It's Kunou's, but who sent it?" she asked just as Naruto returned.
"I see that arrived fairly quickly." Naruto said just as Momon saw her skylight shatter.
"Did you make contact?" Yasaka asked with a surprised expression.
"That I did. Now reinforcements are on the way as per protocal." Naruto said as a large pot crashed through the entire skylight.
Momon had enough of seeing someone vandalize her shopping mall. So when she jumped down to see the pod. A feminine male cat person came out and did a stupid peace sign pose.
"Felix is here! But you may all call me Ferri-cha- AHHH!" he was interrupted by Momon slapping him.
"Who gave you permission to destroy my skylight!?" Momon asked as Felix started to cower.
"I didn't know where I was landing!" Felix yelled as more pods came crashing down.
From there, all the mothers and children winced at the sound of Momon's fury came down upon several warriors under Naruto's command. The sad part is all of them put together could handle squads of jounin with some effort. Not those arrogant jokes that just throw kunai and explosive tags with the occasional jutsu. At best, all of them would force Might Guy to get serious and drop his weights.
Yet Momon just slapped them like they were children who were misbehaving. With most just lying on the ground and clutching their cheeks. Followed by Momon slapping Felix several more times.
"Ouch! Why me!?" Felix whined.
"Because your voice and laid back attitude annoys me!" Momon yelled followed by another slap.
The women minus the kitsunes and Kushina shivered, "She's really nice." Kushina commented.
"Only you would believe that Kushina." Mikoto said as Kushina had nerves stronger than steel.
"Obaa-chan is scary." Mito murmured.
"You're damn right I am!" Momon exclaims as if she heard Mito's comment.
Yasaka turned back to her husband, "I see the security force is here. Anything else I need to know about?" she asked.
Naruto nodded, "I'll save it for the next meeting with the council. I think both sides need to here this as Mirellia is being invited to this." he said.
Then one more pod crashed, "I apologize for my tardiness. My pod was facing issues involving…" the passenger was also slapped… twice.
"One for destruction and another for tardiness!" Momon yelled.
"Did she seriously hurt Kunai? Kunai can't even feel pain! She's a Flesh Golem!" Felix pointed out.
Yasaka sighed, "Husband, they just had to send the strange batch." she said.
Naruto answered back, "We're all strange, Felix just wants more attention." he said as the janitor arrived.
"Nothing exciting happens for old Scruffy." the janitor said.
When suddenly something fell down and got stuck on some of the damaged debris of the ceiling. Revealing an old man who woke up feeling confused as he looked around. Before panicking as the bright lights of the mall made him go blind.
"Oh no, the light! I guess I'm off to hell." the elderly man said sadly.
"Greyfarn?" Naruto asked.
"Huh? Oh if isn't little Naruto. I guess that means I'm in makai, oh well. At least this place isn't as bad." Greyfarn said before falling down and landing on Yamato. "They even have soft cushions!" he exclaimed.
Then Momon slapped him, "Damn it Greyfarn! You damaged my ceiling even more!" she yelled.
"Momon? I am in hell!" Greyfarn yelled.
"Who is that?" Kushina asked her son.
"My teacher, I warn you. He's very senile. A 185 year old man like him is still filled with some insanity." Naruto answered, earning a shocked face from the mother's at the revelation of Greyfarn's age.
TO BE CONTINUED…
NOTES: The characters such as Momon are the Futurama characters from Bender's Game. The special movie that parodies Lord of the Rings. For the younger people reading, Lord of the Rings is the series people watched before Game of Thrones aired. Though to be fair, Game of Thrones was written in the 90s and continued onward I think, Lord of the Rings came out in the 30s and ended in the 40s.
Spoiler, I haven't read or watched either series. Except for the Telltale game and Shadow of War.
Oh and those automatons from earlier are the robots Mr. Burns made.
