Alright, Enjoy everyone while I wait for Boruto Twin Blue Vortex chapter 3
The night was over and now the sun took center stage in the sky. Tsunade had contacted Orochimaru with the use of her slug summons. With this, she had told Orochimaru to meet her the next day instead of waiting a whole week.
Which led to the meeting of Tsunade and Orochimaru outside of the castle.
"So Tsunade, You have come to a decision I see. It's so like you to follow your first instinct." Her old teammate hissed in mockery.
"I am just more sure of myself, that's all." The two Sanin moved closer together and Tsunade's hand was lit to life by green chakra.
Orochimaru started to grin in anticipation as his arms would soon come back to him. Just when Tsunade's hands were about to make contact, he yanked them back quickly. "What did you just do?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at the Senju.
At a moment's notice, Orochimaru felt a shift in Tsunade's intent and chakra. As she approached, the woman used the Mystical Palm, but then it changed into something different.
"Wished you wouldn't have noticed that. Things would have been easier."
"What are you talking about?"
His question got a smirk. Tsunade's red-painted lips turned into a grin. "I've made up my mind." Quickly Tsunade's right hand flew upwards and connected with the Snake Sanin's jaw.
Orochimaru was blasted into the castle's wall and quickly crumbled under the force. His loyal servant, Kabuto jumped in the way of the charging Tsunade and blew out a cloud of poisonous smoke.
Only for the smoke cloud to be swallowed up by a ball of wind. The Phenomenon would have left Kabuto speechless if it wasn't for the strongest woman in the world to be charging him. There wasn't time to dodge and all Kabuto could do was put up his guard and take the force of Tsunade's punch.
Kabuto crashed into the open fields and carved a trench as he created a trail of destruction with how he bounced along the ground. "M-My arms!" Kabuto held up his limp arms that were clearly mangled and in ruin.
But only for a few seconds, the pain faded as they began healing themselves. He grinned but still winced at the phantom pain in his arms.
Orochimaru landed next to Kabuto on his feet. It was obvious to the eye that Orochimaru was angered by how things were turning out. "What are you doing Tsunade?! Don't you want to see your little brother and lover again?!"
Tsunade fell in front of the two with an angered expression. "I'd like nothing more, but if it is involved with you. There will be strings attached no doubt."
Orochimaru growled in frustration. If it was just Tsunade. He was confident he could take her down. Even if he had no access to his jutsu or arms. His other skills would support his fight.
But things were never that simple as Jiraiya landed next to Tsunade. The man may have been tall but he was still hunched over and sweating a great deal.
"Fine then, I'll take Tsunade out of the game and defeat Jiraiya." Inside his mind, Orochimaru formed a plan to deal with everything.
Bringing up his finger, Orochimaru bit into it and blood soon dropped, freezing Tsunade in her tracks.
"Really Tsunade, does blood still scare you? It seems even a princess can fall if you take their glass slipper." Orochimaru said, tossing the blood into the air.
The ground exploded from the landing of a figure. "Boy don't you know how to yap." Coming from the smoke was Naruto holding his two golden sabers behind him.
"Really Jiraiya? You brought a child? Can you not fight your own battles?"
"Are you scared of me?"
"Silence boy, you have no place here." Orochimaru quipped at the young blonde.
"Yes, We have talked enough. You are going to die today, Orochimaru." Naruto's face fell and he showed an icy expression.
"What do you plan to do? Fight me?" Orochimaru almost laughed at the prospect of fighting a little boy.
Naruto reached behind him and pulled the two weapons from his back. He clamped the two ends together and it formed a large bow. A golden string quickly rose into the space making the transformation complete.
"This is a death you can't escape from. Say your prayers and hope the shinigami takes it easy on you." Forming at the center of this newly formed bow. Was a red ball of chakra powered by a complex seal matrix. "Judgment is upon you. Witness the tale of Rapture."
Everyone felt the large build-up of chakra as it was all drawn to the center of the glowing red orb of chakra. It caused the ground to tremble and crack from the force and output of pure chaotic chakra.
"Kabuto!" The teen used some blood from the ground and quickly rushed through handsigns.
"Enuma." The word was uttered softly, but the sound traveled the entire field. Following the word came the explosion from the attack that rushed at Orochimaru with its intent clear.
"Three Layer Rashomon!" Three large gates fell just in time in order to block the piercing attack. But the force served to partially nuke the area as the damage encompassed their space.
Once the smoke cleared, Jiraiya saw the new landmark in front of him. Half of the field was just destroyed as if it was never there in the first place.
Naruto blew out a breath as he saw his damage. "Curse those gates. It blocked half the attack."
"Naruto! What was that?!"
Naruto turned to face the Sanin. "Just a small jutsu I learned from my summons."
Tsunade, Shizune, and Jiraiya both looked puzzled at Naruto. "Small!"
Behind them, the ground cracked open, and out came Manda the Snake boss. They all had to quickly jump out of the way to avoid the crashing snake.
"Orochimaru! What is going on? You tried to sacrifice me didn't you?" The mountain of a purple snake yelled.
"Save it, Manda! We've got bigger problems than that." Orochimaru yelled at his summon, fed up with his attitude.
"Here, take my chakra to summon the boss toad." Naruto sent his chakra into Jiraiya from a touch on his back. "You too Granny." Naruto's hand sat on Tsunade's head drawing her from the mental battle she was in.
"Naruto-kun, we should leave!" Shizune said, grabbing Naruto's shoulder.
"Relax." Naruto dragged with a calm smile. "Just stay behind me if you want to be safe." Shizune moved behind Naruto like he said as she watched the three Sannin go into a battle with their summons.
"I won't be outdone." Naruto bit onto his thumb and slammed his fingers onto the ground. In his own large cloud of smoke came the large body of a king cheetah.
"And look what we have here." The cocky voice of his summon echoed across the field. "A fight worth my appearance. Naruto, You did well with this one."
"Why thank you Gilgamesh." Naruto gave a mock bow on top of Gilgamesh's head. While Shizune was in amazement while holding onto Naruto.
Manda growled in anger. "What are you doing here?!"
"Don't take that tone with me, Mongrel." Gilgamesh said.
"How can such a boy have that summon?!" Orochimaru still remembered the time he along with the snake summons went to Uruk. It was not a good memory, it often left him feeling weak just like with Itachi.
Manda rushed forward, slithering along the ground towards Gilgamesh. "Too slow as always!" In a rush of wind, Gilgamesh was behind Manda.
Bringing up his clawed paws, they released sharp blades that Manda narrowly avoided. Orochimaru leaped off the head of his summon to impel Naruto with his legendary Kusanagi.
It didn't take much for Naruto to parry and dodge. His leg quickly moved and crashed into the side of Orochimaru.
"Gamabunta! Give me some oil!" Jiraiya moved through a set of handsigns for his jutsu. He sent fire rushing to combine with the oil of his summon. "Toad Oil Bombs."
Manda was cooked in the flames. Or at least that is what Jiraiya hoped for. Once the fire was out, They all saw the skin left behind by Manda.
"Gotcha Ya!" Manda was wrapping around Tsunade's giant slug, Katsuyu. Only for the slug to think quickly and divert into much smaller slugs.
Gilgamesh moved in and was leaping in the air. Coming from his mouth were sharp wind blades that left giant craters in the ground on impact. Manda moved in and attempted to wrap around Gilgamesh, but was left holding air as Gilgamesh opened a portal.
Coming from this portal were golden chains that clamped tightly around Manda. Orochimaru and Kabuto leaped off it's heads or no doubt be killed in whatever was next.
"What are those chains? It's like the Uzumaki. Is this Naruto?" Jiraiya said aloud with his mouth hanging open.
"Don't think so. He looks ready to launch that attack again." Tsunade spoke, grinning. "He's gonna blow that snake right to hell!"
"This is your end." Naruto narrowed in on Manda and held tightly onto the bow in his hand. "Enuma!" The red ball rushed toward Manda, taking on the shape of a spearhead this time.
"Look at this? He's got it down. Just a hundred more steps to go and he'll have it complete." Gilgamesh felt excited watching Naruto's progress. It left him feeling respect for the blonde.
"No! Why can't I reverse summon!" Manda panicked as he saw the attack quickly approach. It delivered the final blow as it blew up onto Manda with full force.
Shisuzne held on for dear life to Naruto's back. He lifted her head and saw the damage again be dealt. "That's amazing, you can use something like that so quickly."
"This is only the surface, the rabbit hole goes deeper." Naruto gave Shizune a grin as he focused on Tsunade landing many blows on the Snake Sannin.
"Okay, Gilgamesh. I've got things from here." Naruto grabbed Shizune and leaped off the giant cheetah's head.
"As always, the pleasure is yours."
"Now, let's finish this." Naruto ran toward the battle followed by Shizune.
Leaping into the fight, Naruto sent Orochimaru crashing into the ground as his foot slammed into the Sanin. Kabuto attempted to blindside Naruto but was sent crashing away as Jiraiya kicked him.
Jiraiya followed this up with a Rasengan to Kabuto's gut which drove all the way through, turning his insides and shredding at his flesh. Kabuto could only scream at the pain killing him quickly.
Orochimaru turned his lower body into a snake and he managed to slither from underneath Naruto. He lashed out with kicks that Naruto was quick to block.
"Wind Fist!" Naruto sent out a punch toward Orochimaru who stepped to the side and dodged.
"Heavenly Kick of Pain!" Tsunade fell with a leg drop destroying the ground.
Orochimaru shot out his tongue that wrapped around Tsunade's neck in a vice. "You can't kill me! You don't have the strength!"
"Who?!" Tsunade yanked on the tongue, pulling Orochimaru forward. Right into a nasty right hook. Despite his strong body, Orochimaru felt his jaw tremble from the blow.
"Step back Tsunade! I'm going to end him for good." Naruto entered Realmheart and felt the rushing power stem through his veins. Holding his hand into the air, A loud screeching sound was heard. In Naruto's hands formed a perfect and powerful Rasengan.
"What is that powerful jutsu?!"
"You'll see it soon enough." Naruto answered the frightened question of Orochimaru. The Rasengan shaped into a large spinning mass of chakra. Wind blades kicked off the jutsu taking the shape of a shuriken. "Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
The jutsu made Naruto smile fondly. He held it up for a moment, just basking in the familiar feeling of it all. It dropped seconds later though, as Naruto threw it like a ball. Which only shocked everyone who had never seen something like that.
"And that's a threat down." Even as Orochimaru jumped away from the attack, he was not ready for when it expanded into a large attack that quickly cut him into small pieces of what was once the Legendary Snake Sanin.
Orochimaru's legacy was finally put to an end.
Looking over, Naruto saw the bloody body of Kabuto lying on the ground. There was a swirling hole in his body which meant Jiraiya landed a Rasengan of his own on him. So with all the threats eliminated, Naruto dropped Realmheart and fell to a knee.
"That took a lot out of me." Naruto was filled with thoughts of laying in Hinata's gracious legs for a quick recovery nap.
"Kid, You've got some serious power on you. I'd watch my back if I were you. You've done a lot on this mission which will be noted by the other nations." Jiraiya came and patted Naruto's shoulder. "Not to mention this whole Raikage situation. Still unsure of what to do with that."
"I'd like to bring her with us, and force the Raikage to apologize. But that will turn into a whole other problem itself. So I'll just send Yugito back."
"You're right, the Raike isn't one to tuck his head." Jiraiya said. "Well then, let's get back to the hotel and prepare to leave back to the village."

The group entered the large bedroom of Tsunade's hotel room. Hinata was sitting in the bed idly reading. Yugito, though, was tapped to the wall with duct tape muffling her mouth.
Instead of moving to free Yugito, Naruto all but teleported into Hinata's lap. He quickly deflated and gained a carefree expression. Hinata smiled and put her book down, she then started running her hands over Naruto's head smiling.
"Mission complete?" The angel of his world quietly asked.
"Yeah." Naruto's answer came out as a long dragged-out sigh.
"That's good."
"So uhh? How did she get taped to the wall?" Tsaunde asked with a sweatdrop.
Hinata placed a finger on her chin to recall what happened. "She was being a bad kitten."
Naruto giggled in her lap as they could all hear the muffled protest of Yugito. Jiraiya took his chance and moved to free Yugito from her prison of tape. Only to be bonked hard over the head by Tsunade.
"Perv." Tsunade reached and ripped the tape off allowing Yugito to fall to her feet.
She sent a scathing glare towards Hinata. If all these people were not present, Yugito no doubt would have lunged to attack. Knowing this, Hinata taunted the girl by sticking out her tongue.
While the others were gone, Hinata had watched Yugito. It was simple and worry-free as Yugito had her chakra suppressed to a point where Hinata could easily defeat her if a fight broke out.
"Anyways, Let's not dottle around for long. We need to get you back to the village Tsunade." Jiraiya said getting up and taking a seat on the other bed.
"Do we have to leave so soon? Why not visit a couple of places on the way." Tsunade argued.
"Nope!" Jiraiya shut it down quickly. "We have to head back as soon as possible."
"Are you taking me prisoner? Planning to kill me?" They all knew what she meant by that. The most logical outcome to a Jinchurki being captured was their Tailed Beast would be extracted and placed into a loyal shinobi.
"No, it's fine. Just head back to your village." Naruto released the seal holding back Yugito's chakra. He did this without worry as he knew the woman wouldn't do anything stupid. "You coming back can either be taken as a threat or an insult. Threat by us sending you back unharmed which should let him know you are only alive because we allowed it, Or. An insult because we saw you as worthless to us. That your death would not benefit us in the slightest even if we had Matatabi."
Yugito felt uneasy at the words. It made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. "The Raikage won't like that. He will be after you and anything else represented with you. Especially the Hyuga. What are you willing to do for her?"
What a silly question. A response he was expecting as Naruto knew about the Raikage's personality and how he ran his village. So while still lying in Hinata's lap and smiling. He gave his answer.
"I'll do anything for her."
Shizune wiped a tear from her eye as the scene was so romantical. She pulled out her notepad and scribbled it down. Shizune was a sucker for romance and dreamed of making her own romance novel.
"Hmph, Only time will tell." Yugito could feel the resolve of Naruto. But her time with the Hyuga exposed another side of the coin. While she may have held that book. Hinata had been on that same page the whole time. Since Naruto had treated her with respect and not killed her. She'd leave him with some advice that might do him good. "The price for love is always grief, The strings are always attached."
After giving her final warning, Yugito vanished from the room without a sound. Leaving Naruto to take in the words which were no doubt meant for him. While Hinata felt her heart twitch in sorrow as Yugito must have observed her.
"Heartbreak, boy does it suck. However, that's just something a man has to live with." Jiraiya lectured giving his wise words of love. In doing so, Tsunade averted her attention to the floor. "But don't worry kid. There is no price on true love."
Naruto laughed. "Ya right! Those roses ain't cheap ya know!" Making the two males laugh at the truth.
"Men, You two blockheads would never understand." Tsunade glared at them. "The price shouldn't matter if it's for your woman."
"Duh! That's why keep buying them." Naruto leaned up and kissed Hinata all over. "In the chances of getting lucky." Naruto sent a smirk to a blushing Hinata.

Days passed, and the group finally found themselves back in the village. Tsunade had now been inaugurated as the Fifth Hokage. Her face was now being built on the stone mountain.
Tsunade herself barely had time for anything as she was immediately swamped with the responsibilities of being the Hokage. The woman barely had any time for her drinking which left her to sneak in small cups here and there. Or be caught by an angry Shizune.
Everyone was in high spirts as the village was on track to repair itself again.
That is all but one Hinata Hyuga. Even now, as she ate from her bento alongside her team. She wasn't all the way there. Her mind was off in another world thinking about everything that had happened to her.
A repeating memory was Naruto being in the center of it all. She didn't hate that fact, it was nice and made her feel loved. Naruto had been a huge part of her life, serving to push her forward throughout life. But that itself was the problem.
Naruto had done so much for her. While she had done nothing for him. From the first day they meet, Naruto saved her from bullies while she can't even save him from the people out to kill him. He was her boyfriend and she loved him with everything she had.
Unlike her, The blonde was goal-driven, he had something to work toward while she didn't have anything like that. Yes, she wanted to free her clan, but could she really? Doubt began to flood her mind like a tsunami as she began having second thoughts about whether she could really accomplish that.
What was she living for? Was it Naruto? But she didn't want to live like that. Hinata didn't want her sole purpose in life to just be Naruto. She wasn't to him. Her boyfriend had a purpose, a goal, a dream! He wanted to be the Hokage! And everyone believed in him, including her.
He was just too bright, as he sat eating the food she cooked for him. Basking in the stunning rays of the sun. Naruto lit the world up around him. While she just floated in his shadow.
It felt as if she had no real purpose in life. But she knew that the feeling she had didn't need to be there. She was loved here. Her younger sister, her teammates, her friends, and her love.
However, the first domino had already been flicked. Now it was time she acted. Her mind had been set and there was no changing it now.
"I am leaving the village."
