Chapter 2: The raising from a Heart
XxXxX
Moments after the two Goddesses left, the purple haired ANBU removed her mask as she looked at the direction her teacher's son was taken.
"Hokage-sama…is it…really fine like this?" She asked as her eyes began to water.
The old man sighed tiredly as he took off his Hokage hat.
"This is the best solution for young Naruto… I was about to order you to take him to the Gamindustri anyways…"
Hiruzen lit up his pipe before inhaling and exhaling it.
"If we let Naruto stay here, we know what will happen since the civilians are demanding his blood."
"...I made a promise to Kushina-sensei that whatever happens to them, I will protect their son…" The woman said with a pleading voice.
"I'm really sorry, Yugao… but there's nothing that we can do now, except praying the best for the boy…"
Yugao kept her silence before sighing helplessly.
She just hoped that one day they would see each other again and she could pass everything she had learned from her teacher to her son.

"Ooh… he's so cute~" Both twins, sisters of Blanc, Rom and Ram said as they cooed at baby Naruto whose hands gripped their fingers.
"I know, right?" Neptune nodded knowingly with a smug look as she folded her arms in front of her chest. "I don't know why they can't see that Naruto-kun here is not the Kyubi."
"Hi~ Naru-chan~ this is your auntie~" Vert, aka Green Heart, cooed at Naruto whose eyes darted to the blonde woman.
He made a happy noise when he saw the woman as if recognizing something from her.
"Oh? Looks like Naruto-kun here noticed that you're related to his father though not by blood." Histoire added as she watched the interaction with a smile.
"Nepgear, look at his whiskers~ do you think he'll purr if we rubbed them?"
Uni asked in curiousity as she noticed Naruto's whiskers and found them cute.
"Ummm… I don't know… lemme try…" Nepgear, the sister of Neptune, moved her hand toward his cheek and rubbed them slowly, eliciting a small purr from the baby.
The girls squealed at how cute it was before smothering Naruto with kisses and hugs.
Noire, aka Black Heart CPU, the black-haired twin tail girl found it cute too, however, she had another problem to discuss with Blanc, the White Heart CPU.
"Well? What do you think?" Noire asked with hands folded in front of her.
"We definitely can't let Vert or Neptune take and raise Naruto since I don't want him to be a lazybum or a NEET." Blanc replied as a small smile crept onto her face while she watched her sisters giggled at the baby.
"That's harsh, but I can see your point." Noire nodded. "Then it leaves you and I as the final choice and since you have Ram and Rom in your care, I can take care of Naru-kun."
Blanc deadpanned at the black-haired CPU.
"I don't know… I mean… you're not bad… but what if Naruto-kun turns out like you and has no friends?"
Noire fumed at the accusation and flipped her hair.
"W-Who said that I have no friends? Besides, you're the one I'm afraid of since Naru-kun might have your short temper if you raise him!"
The CPU of Lastation retorted but it only made Blanc angry.
"What did you say!? You wanna fight, bitch!?"
"See?! This is what I'm afraid of!"
"As if you're better than me! Naruto-kun will definitely turn into an introvert if he stays with you! Hell, he might turn into a tsundere!"
"I-I'm not an introvert or tsundere! Take that back!"
The two Goddesses began to argue until the rest of the CPU joined them.
When they asked what happened, the black and white Goddesses told them about what they were arguing about.
The argument was getting worse because of the purple and green CPU, especially Vert, who felt entitled to take care of Naruto because she was his aunt and Minato's older sister.
Due to Vert's reputation as a NEET who spends his days playing video games, the other three Goddesses rejected her reason.
She might as well forget Naruto's existence when she started playing games.
Neptune didn't have any plausible reason, therefore she was out of the choices.
When they couldn't find a solution, Histoire finally stood up.
"Now, now, while it is a bit harsh, I can understand why we shouldn't let Vert-san and Neptune-san to raise Naruto-kun." That earned her a crestfallen look from both the Purple and Blonde CPU.
"Then, what do you propose, Histoire?" Neptune asked dejectedly.
"Uhmm… What if we have Blanc-san take care of Naruto-kun here for the first few years and then Noire-san until he can take care of himself?"
"Are you sure, Histoire-san? I mean, Blanc here already has her hands full with Ram and Rom." Noire said as her eyes glanced at the twins, Uni and Nepgear.
"Uuh… all of you have sisters and Minato-kun was under my care when he was already old enough to take care of himself, why can't you let me raise Naru-chan?!" Vert whined.
The CPUs sweatdropped at the blonde woman before Blanc cleared her throat, gaining her fellow Goddesses' attention.
"I don't mind, Ram and Rom can help me take care of Naruto-kun if I'm busy."
Vert and Neptune pouted while Noire sighed in resignation.
She wouldn't win against Blanc if the girl was this determined.
"Fine, but I want to see him everyday when I'm not busy." Noire added.
"Me too!" The rest of the CPUs followed up.
"Neptune-san, if you don't work, you're not allowed to visit Naruto-kun here. The same goes for you as well, Vert-san." Histoire warned.
"Heh-heh, I'll show you not to underestimate me, Histoire! I'll make sure to visit him every day and then introduce Naruto-kun to the food of Goddesses, pudding, even if I have to work!"
"I'll stay away from my gaming system if it allows me to see Naru-chan here, don't worry, Histoire-san. I'll make sure to do my share of work for my nation too."
Histoire smiled in satisfaction, hoping that Neptune would indeed fulfill her promise to do her work in order to visit Naruto.
"It is settled then, Blanc-san, we'll leave Naruto in your care."
The white CPU nodded with a small smile.
XxXxX
Back in Konoha, the next day after the CPUs heated discussion.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was once more in the council meeting.
With Naruto gone to a faraway place where nearly none of the Shinobi could reach, he decided to reveal Naruto's heritage with proofs and everything else.
And it seemed that the council was displeased by the news.
Rubbing his forehead tiredly, he listened to one screeching banshee from the civilian councils, Haruno Mebuki.
"THAT DE– BOY IS MINATO'S SON!?"
"WE NEED TO CAPTURE THOSE WOMEN AND DEMAND REPARATIONS FROM THEM! THEY KIDNAPPED THE SON OF OUR HOKAGE!"
One of the council members joined.
One of the clan heads, Hiashi Hyuuga finally opened his mouth, clearly annoyed by the civilian council.
"Silence you fools! It is your fault in the first place. Had he was treated as a hero like he was supposed to, none of this would happen! Now that he's gone, you want him to be treated like one!?"
"I have to agree with Hiashi-san."
It was Shikaku Nara who agreed with the Hyuuga clan head.
"Naruto going to this Gamindustri was a better choice since the villagers already knew what was inside him last night… they wouldn't just accept that he's Minato's son… though it's still a mystery as to how they quickly learned about Naruto's status as the holder of the Kyubi…"
The Hokage nodded as his eyes darted to his old friend.
"Tsk. You changed your perspective really fast just because he's Minato and Kushina's son? Now I'm glad that the pup was taken away from the village." Tsume added with disdain in her voice. "They'd be rolling in their graves by this time with what you wanted to do to their son."
The civilians turned their heads away in shame.
Hiruzen eyed the council members as the gears in his brain turned fast.
They're in a dead end right now.
If Naruto decided to permanently stay in Gamindustri, then he would take what was rightfully his from Minato and Kushina.
And the amount of things his parents owned were not small.
Not to mention the amount of Ryo they had in their bank accounts.
Speaking of Ryo, he needed to make sure both Minato and Kushina's accounts were frozen until Naruto himself decided to use them in case some of the greedy councilmen and women decided to use them for their own needs.
Continuing, ever since the incident yesterday, he was absolutely certain that he couldn't force Naruto to stay in the village anymore without invoking the CPUs wrath in the future.
He had seen with his own eyes how this White Heart reacted when she heard about the civilians wanted to do with Naruto.
The old man shuddered, imagining if the Goddess found Naruto in a worse condition.
Konoha might be wiped out of the map.
"Shikaku is right. It may be best if young Naruto stays in Gamindustri until he wishes to return, which I highly doubt."
"But-"
Hiruzen had enough of this nonsense of the civilians and slammed his fist onto the table.
"SILENCE! You had your chance and you threw it away the moment you called for young Naruto's blood! You had proven Minato was right when he told me not to trust any of you the moment you would learn the truth! SO YOU WILL SHUT UP BEFORE I ARREST EVERYONE OF YOU! Besides, I honestly don't know why you're still there! Now, I want you to get out of my sight."
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!"
Mebuki screeched.
The Hokage flared up his Chakra and directed his Killing Intent toward the civilian council, causing them to pale and sweat profusely.
"I'M THE HOKAGE AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO. GET. OUT. OF MY SIGHT!"
The Hokage was furious. His patience had finally reached its limits. The councilmen and women were then escorted out from the meeting room by the ANBU but with protests.
With them out of sight, the Hokage sighed exasperatedly.
Among the elders, only Danzo still stayed behind in the room with the Hokage and the Shinobi Council.
Koharu and Homura, the other two elders, were aware that their former teammate would not be receptive to them at this time.
"Hiruzen, you have made a tremendous error. All of this wouldn't have happened if you'd let me take care of the Jinchuriki in the first place. We now no longer have our greatest weapon and the son of our Hokage who might have inherited his intelligence and talent."
The war hawk spoke with an indifference and emotionless tone.
"Do not bring this up again, Danzo. I know very well what you would do to him and I couldn't and will not allow such a thing should he return! And don't think I missed the fact that you didn't dissolve your little ROOT as I ordered!"
Danzo growled but decided to keep his mouth shut. He still had plans to put the Jinchuuriki into his ROOT. He would get what he wanted and nobody could stop him.
"Now then. This meeting is adjourned."
As Hiruzen said that, everyone left except Hiashi who stayed behind.
"What are we going to do now that Minato's son is gone?"
"Nothing. We won't do anything until he decides to return to the village on his own will." Hiruzen sighed tiredly before continuing. "I trust him to be safe in Gamindustri. After all, from what Minato told me, Gamindustri is ruled by 4 different Goddesses."
"To think the goddesses truly exist... Well I better get going now."
Hiruzen nodded as Hiashi left the meeting room.
XxXxX
Meanwhile in Lowee, Rom and Ram were playing with Naruto who made happy giggles as he grabbed the twin's fingers.
Blanc took a small glance at them and let out a small smile before preparing the foods.
She had to buy natural milk for Naruto since he was too young to eat anything other than milk.
It was only a day since Naruto lived with them and the three of them already grew attached to him.
"Dinner's ready, you three."
Blanc called out with her usual calm and quiet voice.
The sisters went to the kitchen to eat while Blanc took Naruto in her arms as she fed him with a bottle of milk. She let out a small sigh before smiling
"Big sis... Do you think Nepgear and Uni can come to see him?"
"Yeah, I agree with Rom. That would be great if they visit us to see him and play with us!"
Ram was excited as their eyes sparkled.
"As long as you aren't too noisy, I don't mind."
"Yay! Heard that Naru-chan? Nepgear and Uni will play with us."
Naruto let out little giggles as he stopped to drink the milk and he let out a small burp.
Ram had started to call him Naru-chan since she found that nickname cute as Rom shyly agreed with her.
When they were done with their dinner, it was Blanc's turn to have hers.
By the time she finished eating her dinner, she saw that Naruto was already taken away by her sisters to their room.
As Blanc went back to her room, the CPU received a group call from the other Goddesses.
She connected her phone to the large screen in her room and it showed Noire, Neptune and Vert in their sleeping attires.
"Good evening, Blanc, how's it going with Naru-kun?" Noire asked as soon as the call connected.
"Everything is fine. I had to feed Naruto with natural milk. For some... reasons he hates any other milk I tried to give him yesterday. Right now, my sisters are taking care of Naruto-kun. Hopefully they won't stay up too late since he needs his sleep."
The Goddesses giggled at that before Noire continued.
"Oh, by the way, Uni told me that she wanted to visit Lowee to see Naru-kun and I was hoping to ask if it was ok."
"Sure, I don't mind. Nepgear can come too." Blanc said with a shrug.
"I will let my adorable little sister know about that! Ahh~ I can't wait to see him grow up so I can see how cute he would be and so I can give him some pudding~"
Neptune's eyes sparkled as Blanc just sweatdropped at this declaration.
Though she was the same and couldn't wait to see how her adorable little brother would look when he grew up.
...
Little brother? She thought about it and let out a small smile. She, along with the twins grew very attached to him so why the heck not? She would talk with Rom and Ram later.
"I'll make sure to introduce him to a few of my games including 4 Goddesses Online. Other than that, I want to give him my dear little brother's legacy since it would be only right for me to do so~"
Vert said as the other Goddesses nodded their heads. After all, despite not living with Vert, it would be unfair to deny such a request.
Although Blanc honestly hoped Naruto wouldn't become addicted like Vert when it came to games.
XxXxX
In a dark underground, two figures stared at each other. One of them bowed to the other who sat on his seat as a throne.
The figure then spoke, voice filled with authority.
"You and your team will go to capture, and retrieve the Jinchuuriki for me. Eliminate those who stand in your way. And take as many childrens if possible. I have plans for them. Failure is not an option."
"Hai Danzo-sama."
The figure left.
Danzo let out a small smirk.
OST playing: Neptune Segashite
"You are such a fool to let him go, Hiruzen. I will get what I want. If I play my cards right I can turn one of the so-called Goddesses onto my side. Nothing will stand in my way of becoming the Hokage with my weapon that is rightfully mine."
He said as he prepared his schemes to manipulate the Goddesses even if he had to risk a great war.
Little he knew that his plans would ultimately fail. After all, no one stood a chance against Goddesses.
The screen cuts to Blanc's large castle.
Sekaijū chirabaru mugen no Star…
Kyūkyoku no kami gē sagashi ni Start!
We can see Nepgear, and Uni spoke to each other as they arrived at Blanc's home.
Megami ga giga tera
Maji ni natchi ~yattedoushitano
Muchū! Netchū! Get you! I do!
Koi kōsō-netsu bōsō
We then see Hiruzen working in a mountain of paperwork as he stares outside his window.
Then the screen cut out where Nepgear, Uni, and the twin sisters all played with Naruto, as Blanc kept staring at them with a small smile.
Here we go! Good to go! Nepute~yūnu
Watashi tsuyokute nyūgēmu
We then see Noire working in her office as she stares at her massive paperwork with a tired sigh.
Here we go! Way to go! Nepute~yūnu
Kukei parusu hibiku rabusongu
We see Neptune working with a surprised face of IF, and Compa who just arrived in Neptune's room.
Here we go! Good to go! Nepute~yūnu
Yūjō aijō bivurosuto
We then see Vert finishing her game as she went to her office to work. She then took a glance at three objects on a table and let out a sad smile.
Dotabata datte kizuna koko ni aru yo
GJ my Sweet Heart
The screen shows two scrolls and a weapon on a table, and the screen slowly zoomed out.
Mata raishū…
The screen is cut out for the black screen with a purple text "To be continued...?"
XxXxX
Two days later in Konohagakure, Hiruzen let out a very tired sigh as he just stared at the mountains of paperworks.
He expected that more would come though.
Amyway, the old Hokage has contacted his student Jiraya for something important. He was supposed to be here today, but knowing him he would probably be in the hot springs just to peep on girls.
The matter with Naruto was still brought up in the meetings they held but the Hokage didn't say anything about the matter and just outrightly ignored them.
Suddenly he heard someone enter through the window much to Hiruzen's exasperation.
"Yo Sensei! I see you're busy with your paperwork."
That was Jiraiya, the Toad Sennin.
He was known as one of the Sannin and the so-called "super" pervert.
The two other Sannin were Tsunade Senju, who didn't set foot in Konoha ever since losing his brother and lover, and Orochimaru who fled the village and became one of the worst missing nin in the Elemental Nations when he was exposed doing horrifying experiments.
The toad Sennin then asked.
"So... What is the important thing you wanted to tell me? More importantly, where is my godson?"
"That is why I contacted you, Jiraiya"
Hiruzen let out a sigh before he continued.
"Do you remember those who are called "CPUs"?"
"Yeah more and less from what Minato told me. They were said to govern four nations in a continent far away in the outer seas named Gamindustri. Not even our best ninjas could get there even knowing the exact position like if the land were moving. Some even said some rumors about that land being a floating landmass instead. Why?"
That's when Hiruzen dropped the bomb.
"They knew about Naruto and what the village was about to do with him... I had to hand them over Naruto... Two of the CPUs had taken Naruto away the day Minato-kun died."
"Wait WHAT?!"
Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise before getting mad at Hiruzen.
"Are you crazy?! Why did you let them take him away from here?!"
Inwardly, Jiraiya cursed since he was planning to train Naruto and gained popularity as his master. Not to mention that the boy might be the Child of Prophecy.
There went his plan to the drain since his old teacher just gave the brat into some Goddesses wannabe.
He didn't believe what Minato said, no, he didn't.
Jiraiya only entertained his student at the time since he wanted to gain his trust and it worked.
He managed to learn one of his creations, the Rasengan, though he wished that he could also learn the Hiraishin.
The Sennin sighed.
Hiruzen then told him the whole story about the villagers demands much to Jiraya's faux anger, and finally the fact that Naruto would be safer in Gamindustri then in the village for a time being.
He accepted reluctantly though he couldn't help but feel jealous of Naruto.
"Damn... Even as a baby he got four goddesses on him. I wish the same could be said for me."
He let out a perverted giggles as Hiruzen sweatdropped.
"I would be careful if I were you since especially White Heart would take some... good "care" of you."
Jiraya then immediately turned pale at the mention of the most violent CPU.
"I also have another request from you."
The Sennin raised an eyebrow.
"Tell Tsunade about Naruto, tell her that Kushina's son is alive and well in the Goddesses' hands."
Jiraiya nodded before he left Hiruzen's office.
Not that he was planning to tell his old teammate about it.
He'd try to locate this Gamindustri and bring the brat with him, train him to become the Child of Prophecy and gain popularity from it.
Unknown to Jiraiya, his effort was fruitless and he'd only meet Naruto years later.
XxXxX
Annnd end :)
I hope you liked the chapter.
I won't be able to write for at least 1 week to 3 weeks since i'll be gone in 2 days.
After some few talk i had, i have thinking about adding a harem in this fanfiction with Noire as his main girlfriend/wife.
If you have any suggestions of his potential harem girlfriends let me know.
Well with that said, have a nice day :)
