Chapter 30: Complications and On the Road Training
A week had passed since Orochimaru's failed invasion, and things were trying to get back to normal. Buildings were being fixed from damages - mainly done by the giant snakes and enemy shinobis. Everyone was helping to repair. . .but things were still hectic in the village, for multiple reasons. But mostly for three, much more pressing ones. . .
"WHERE'S THE DEMON!?"
"SEARCH EVERYWHERE FOR HIM!"
"FIND THOSE SLUTS OF HIS AS WELL!"
"FORCE THEM BOTH INTO THE CLAN RESTORATION ACT!"
"HOW DARE SOMEONE BURN DOWN THE UCHIHA DISTRICT!"
As multiple rants and newly formed mobs went on in the village, shinobis were divided onto two sides, the ones that supported the members of Team 7 and the others that didn't support them.
"ARE YOU GUYS IDIOTS!?"
"THOSE THREE ARE NOT DEMONS!"
"BULLSHIT! THEY ARE CORRUPTED! THE BOY HAS TO DIE AND HIS WHORES HAVE TO DIE AS WELL!"
"YEAH! THEY BECAME TAINTED DEMON SPAWNS!"
"IF THEY WERE CORRUPTED WHY WOULD THEY HELP SAVE THE VILLAGE YOU BAKAS?!"
"HE'S RIGHT! THEY COULD HAVE DESTROYED THE VILLAGE INSTEAD OF SAVED IT!"
"MAYBE THEY DIDN'T WANT COMPETITION!"
The fangirls had a memorial service for their precious Sasuke-kun after learning the truth about Satsuki along with the Sasuke worshippers.
"SASUKE-KUN!" One fangirl wailed in sorrow.
"Why would you betray us!?" Another cried.
"I wanted to marry you and have your children!" Another wailed.
"I would have given you everything! EVERYTHING"
"Uchiha-sama!"
"Why Uchiha-sama!"
"How could you betray us!?"
"We worshipped you!"
"We did everything for you!"
"YOU COULD'VE TOLD US AND NOW YOU'VE BECOME A SLUT FOR THAT DEMON!"
To say the least, Konoha was is in disarray with both the major revelations and the subsequent invasion. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 3rd Hokage, was hospitalized as he had gone into a coma after the fight with Orochimaru. Luckily his former student thought he was dead.
"His vitals are still stable!"
"Nothing has changed except what appears to be his age. . .how in kami's name did he get younger!?"
And it was true - while he still looked like hell warmed over, he had seemed to become younger. He looked like he was only in his late 20's - the age when he was still training the three Sannin!
"What in Kami's name happened during the fight with Orochimaru?!"
Although, these drastic changes meant that certain groups of people were now able to take advantage of situations. The Civilian Council took this opportunity to cut prices on shinobi missions to fund for other projects they had in mind, this greatly lowered any and all respect the shinobi had for them.
"We can finally put in those shopping districts we wanted and demolish the useless training grounds we have!"
With all these problems, people were having a hard enough time rebuilding, but even with all the chaos, Konoha needed a leader. Danzō, sensing the opportunity, had came out of hiding and ordered his Root members to work on fixing the village, while Sakura told citizens that listened that Danzō was there to help the village, and would do more than the current (decommissioned) Hokage, getting Danzō more support from the people.
"This is what happens when you let a liar become Hokage!" Sakura said to a mob of people that was listening to her. "Danzō-sama's men are working right now to fix our home after the invasion and what's the Third doing at the moment? Lying in a coma!" She scoffed before continuing. "It's time for a new, stronger Hokage to emerge, and he will bring our village to prosperity!"
"But I have heard rumors that our Third Hokage has somehow become younger! Surely if he were to awaken he would be much stronger!"
"Bah, it was probably the work of those three demons he took care of in secret! Without the Third Hokage we can put those freaks in their place and use the sluts as breeders!" She announced as she basked in the cheers and praise of the villagers. "Soon. . .this village will belong to Danzō-sama. . .and him. . ." She thought.
"But if it wasn't for Hokage-sama, Orochimaru surely would have taken over the village!" Where was Danzō then?!"
"Danzō-sama had the suspicions about the invasion, but didn't know for sure so he sent out troops that were brutally murdered by Orochimaru's forces! That's the reason he wasn't around! He was grieving for his soldiers! He at least shows that he cares for his people!" Sakura lied. "The masses are fools. . .they'll eat right into the palms of Danzō-sama's hands. . ." She deviously thought.
But still, even with all this power-grabbing, chaos causing disasters, people still had time to wonder on the three tiny little people. . .
"Where are Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Hinata Hyuga and Satsuki Uchiha?"
The three in question all sneezed in unison, each one hefting a large backpack.
"Gesundheit!" Jiraiya called out as he looked back at the three as they walked down a dirt road. "Geez, you three caused some major craziness back home with all of the revelations. . . not to mention transforming into Kurama! When I heard about that, I nearly had a heart attack!"
"I know. . ." Naruto said solemnly. He was wearing his black t-shirt with the orange long sleeve shirt combo.
"It was to be expected. . ." Hinata added. She was wearing her usual outfit; tan shirt, lavender overshirt, and dark blue pants.
"There's no turning back from this." Satsuki finished with a small smirk. She was wearing the outfit she wore during her reveal. "What's done is done. . ." She then noticed Jiraiya staring at her, mainly her assets as she saw his nose bleeding, causing her to glare back. "And stop staring at my chest dattebakon! That's the fifth time now in an hour you pervert!"
"Oi, Ero-sennin! Stop staring dattebayo!" Naruto raged. "You're being just as bad as that snake pedophile!"
Hinata sweatdropped as she watched the arguing and interactions go on. "We really should have expected this to happen when we decided to go with the writer of the 'Icha Icha' series dattebahi. . ." She muttered.
"The man is still a genius!" Kurama remarked.
"Hush Kurama-san!" Hinata told him through the mind link. She then started to think back on how this journey started.
Flashback
Hinata struggled her eyes open as she slowly started to wake up from unconsciousness. ". . .What. . .happened. . .?" She muttered out as she felt the sheets of a bed. She tilted her head slightly to see her surrounding, unfortunately not recognizing it. "Where. . .am I?" She then turned her head the other way to see two more bed, both of them holding Naruto and Satsuki, both of them still asleep, causing her to sigh in relief. "Good. . .we're still alive. . ."
"Damn right you three are alive," Hinata's eyes widen as she quickly turned to see a white haired man at the entrance of the doorway. "I have to say though, you three were pretty impressive handling the Shukaku like that. Kakashi's raised some good students this time."
Still feeling dizzy, Hinata sat herself as she looked at the man in front of her, grabbing her head to stop the dizziness. "Who. . .are you?"
The white haired man smirked as he came into the room and closed the door behind him. He got himself a chair as he sat down. "I believe the gaki's told you about me."
"Eh?" Hinata got out, feeling some of the dizziness leave her body. "Gaki?" She then looked over towards the sleeping Naruto. "Oh!" Her back straighten with realization with wide eyes. "Are you. . . . . Jiraiya of the Legendary Sannin?"
Jiraiya nodded, showing Hinata that she got his name right. "That's right little lady, I must say though," He then eyed Satsuki, mainly her assets before turning his head back to the Hyuga Heiress. "the gaki's got some fine women liking him. He's a really lucky brat, that's for sure."
"Uh. . ." Hinata didn't know whether that was suppose to be a perverted remark or a complement, but shook it off. "W-what is it that you want, Jiraiya-sama? A-And where are we?"
The Sannin stood up. "Heh. No use beating around the bush, eh? Alright then." He walked to the window, and stared out at the faces of the Four Hokages on the mountainside. "I wanted to ask all of you this, but since you're here, you can tell them for me. . . You see, I've heard about the. . . incident, with your friend, as well as with the Old Man Third, and I've come to offer you something special, a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I come to offer you three training."
Hinata tilted her head in confusion. "Training? All three of us? Why would you bother with us?"
"Because of Danzō and the Akatsuki. . ." Jiraiya thought. "Because, I think that you three have proven that you are worthy enough to be my students! When those two wake up, tell them of my offer, I already got Kakashi's approval toward it. If they accept, I will be here in three days. If not, then go back into the village."
The sound of an explosion was heard as it caused Hinata's eyes to widen even more and Jiraiya to sigh while palming his face. "W-What's happening outside!?"
Jiraiya sighed again as he leaned against a wall. "Well let's just say that some people are reacting violently to some certain reveals and some are in denial about them. . .be in mind that you've been out for a few days since the invasion. . ."
Hinata gasps as she took a quick look out the window to see some smoke towers raising to the sky. "So. . .all of that is from. . ."
"Crazed citizens in denial of everything. . ." Jiraiya quickly answered. "But that's not all. . .word is that some people are out to capture you three. . ."
"Why would they be out to capture us?" Hinata asked. "And is that another reason you want to train us?"
"It's a long story, and one that I don't feel like telling right now. Anyways. . ." He opened the window, "I'm going to see if I can't help lessen the damage and chaos in the village. Stay here for now, there's enough food for you three to survive and there is also a shower to wash up. I'll see you in three days for your answers!"
Hinata nodded as she watched Jiraiya dashed out the window before looking towards Naruto and Satsuki. "What should we do. . .? He's obviously hiding something. . .what in the world happened? Where is Hokage-sama?" She thought, worried for the person that protected the three the entire time. "I hope nothing bad has happened to him, otherwise. . .well best not linger on the negative effects, I wonder how Naruto-kun and Satsuki-chan will react to the deal."
Flashback end
After that day, the three had unanimously decided to go with the Sannin - after all, they needed to get away from the village for a while with all that was happening. They had all to sneak around to get their stuff also with some help from their friends that they told from their class, even their senseis helped, and soon, they got their things packed and ready to go. They couldn't wait to get to their first destination. There was only one problem. . . Jiraiya and Kurama's perversions.
Speaking of the said demon, Kurama wouldn't stop chattering about all the opportunities to read Icha-Icha with Jiraiya there, and Jiraiya was too busy chuckling and muttering about something that sounded like "What lovely and sexy heiresses!" or "So much good material!".
After a while, Hinata couldn't take it anymore."BE QUIET!" She snapped out, scaring away a large flock of birds. She looked back at the group, and both Satsuki and Naruto were frozen in fear, with large sweat drops on their faces. Kurama was whining like a dog, and was curled up in a corner of his cage. And Jiraiya was cowering behind a wall he had made with Earth Style. "A-ahh. . . s-s-sorry, everyone. . . l-let's just k-keep moving please. . ." Embarrassed, she turned away from the group, and covered her eyes with the shadow from her bangs, trying to conceal the red embarrassed blush in her cheeks. She then started walking with a much faster pace.
Satsuki couldn't help but giggle at what happened after regaining her composure. "I guess she couldn't handle Ero-Sennin and Kurama's perversity just like us huh?"
Naruto also regained his composure as the two watched the speed-walking heiress. "Yeah." He then looked toward Satsuki. "You want to talk to her or should I?"
Satsuki smiled as she pecked Naruto on the lips. "I'll do it. You block out Kurama so he doesn't make any perverted remarks and keep Ero-Sennin away so he doesn't try to make our conversation in material for his books."
"Got it." Naruto said as he watched Satsuki race up to Hinata. He then looked towards Jiraiya, who was getting a notepad out, causing Naruto to get a tick mark. "Now to deal with the pervert. . ." He growled out as he started stomping over toward Jiraiya while also blocking Kurama's connection from Hinata and Satsuki.
Hinata sighed depressingly as she continued walking. "I really shouldn't had an outburst like that. . .but Jiraiya-san and Kurama-san really should be taking this more seriously. . .if-"
"Oooi! Nata-chan!" Hinata was about to turn around, but was jumped from behind by a smiling Satsuki as she pressed her breasts into Hinata's back.
"Whoa!" Hinata got out as she felt Satsuki hugging her, making it so she couldn't help but laugh. While she and Naruto were getting ready, they both noticed another change in Satsuki. Her personality had become a lot happier, and they meant a lot more then before the Chunin Exam. Jiraiya had deducted that this change in personality was caused by Satsuki finally revealing her true self to everyone and honestly to Naruto and Hinata, they didn't mind since they liked Satsuki being happy. Smiling back, Hinata got Satuki off of her. "Hey Satsuki-chan. . .sorry about that outburst I had earlier. . .it's just that with Jiraiya-san and Kurama-san. . .I somewhat. . .snapped."
Satsuki giggled as the two looked back to see Naruto and a shadow clone of him fighting Jiraiya in a large puff of dirt that got kicked up into the air, causing the two to sweat-drop at the sight. "It's alright Nata-chan, I can understand why, Ero-Sennin can go overboard at times. And with Kurama also adding to it. . .jeez, those two could be a match made in hell. . ."
"I'll say. . ." Hinata got out as she watched the action. "At least Naruto-kun isn't a pervert."
"Yeah, the exact reason why he made his Sexy Jutsu is so it can detect the perverts. Other girls may not see it, but it's really clever." Satsuki smiled. "That and I like being with Naruko-oneechan." She thought to herself, blocking out everyone for the moment.
"It really is." Hinata said as she and Satsuki were silent for a moment again, both of them trying to think of something to say. "So. . .besides dealing with Jiraiya-sama's perversity, what do you think he's gonna teach us? I mean, he is a Sannin." Hinata started. "Maybe I can find out more about this. . .Emotions Byakugan. . .I gotta make a list of the colors and emotions that go with them." She thought.
"True," Satsuki responded as she took out her tanto and looked at herself in it's reflection. "Not to mention he was the sensei to Naru-kun's dad, the Fourth Hokage, so he has to be strong, and I mean really strong."
Hinata nodded in agreement as the two looked back to see a smiling Naruto standing on top of Jiraiya, who had swirly eyes as Naruto was giving off a victory sign, causing the two to sweat-drop at the sight. "Although. . .he does give off a feeling that's like Naruto-kun."
"True to that Nata-chan, true to that. . ." Satsuki said in agreement as she twirled her tanto before placing it back in it's holster. "So, you wanna spar? I wanna see some of your new moves."
Hinata nodded as the two off the dirt path and onto the grass, both of them taking off their bags and putting them aside as they went a distance from each other. "Sure Satsuki-chan, but I won't go easy on you."
Satsuki smirked. "Won't have it any other way." The two then got into their fighting stances. "No Kurama's chakra, this is purely the two of us."
"Alright." Hinata responded. "One. . ."
"Two. . ."
"Three!" The two said in unison as they charged at each other.
"Hehe, I win this time Ero-Sennin." Naruto said with a chuckle and a smug grin.
"Dammit gaki. . ." Jiraiya growled from underneath "It must be the devil's luck. . ." He thought, slightly denying the fact that he lost.
"Better luck next time Toad." Kurama remarked as he appeared on Naruto's head, chuckling. He then slightly turned his head in another direction. "Yo, it looks like Lavender Eyes and Uchiha are sparring."
"Eh?" Naruto looked in his direction to see Hinata in the middle of an axe kick while Satsuki blocked it with her arm before getting her other arm ready for a chakra enhanced punch. "Not bad."
"Huh, well those two have been trained well just like you gaki." Jiraiya said as he got Naruto off him and onto his feet. "Good work Kakashi, Minato would be proud of you. Nice work sensei on telling him to actually train them." He thought.
Naruto chuckled. "Well, we always gave it our all and each of us trained separately for a month for the finals and the invasion that happened."
"Really, so who did your teammates train with since you trained with me?" Jiraiya asked out of curiosity, part him knowing Kakashi had a hand in Satsuki's training since he saw her use Chidori. "Kakashi. . .you actually taught her that?" He thought, not knowing what to think about this revelation.
"Well Hinata-chan trained under Haku, he was a former enemy and joined the village under Zabuza's last request. . .that and Zabuza forced Kakashi-sensei to adopt Haku and become his father." Naruto explained.
"I see. . ." Jiraiya said in a solemn tone before realizing the last part that was said. "Wait what!? Kakashi was forced into becoming a father!?"
"Pretty much." Naruto responded, closing his eyes as he shrugged his shoulders, only to reopen them when he heard loud laughing, Jiraiya was actually holding his stomach and on his knees as he continued laughing. ". . .and that's the usual reaction when someone learns about it." Naruto muttered with a sweat-drop. "Jeez, that's always everyone's reaction. . .everytime. . ."
"Ya gotta admit kit, at times it fuckin' hilarious." Kurama retorted from on top of Naruto's head.
Naruto sighed as he continued to hear Kurama chuckling before grabbing his chibi form and chucking it at Jiraiya's face. "Dammit. . .now I'm wondering what's going on back home. . ." He muttered. "Jiji. . ." He thought solemnly as he looked at the sky.
Back in the village, Sakura was out spreading more rumors that Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki and demons in disguise and want the people in the village dead by their hands, not anybody else, part of it being Danzō's orders and the other part being that she wanted to since she hated the three now with a passion. "Damn those three demons. . .first all that deception, and now they've gone missing! The hell, they were suppose to get the punishment they deserve for what they've done! What's worse is that they can't get any ninjas out because they're busy rebuilding the village!"
As Sakura continued to rant to herself she failed to notice a few normal people staring at her like she was mentally insane, or very well on her way to that point. Mothers ushered their children away from her while the men just tried to ignore her craziness.
"Is that girl alright?" One woman whispered.
"A girl her age shouldn't be talking to herself like that." Another woman whispered.
"She's just a weirdo if she talks to herself out loud like that." Replied a teenage girl.
"Is she still upset about Sasu- I mean Satsuki Uchiha? Jeez, I heard some girls aren't over it but damn. . ." A kunoichi remarked.
"I can't really blame that young woman for disguising herself as a male, from what I heard, she would have been forced into the CRA and turned into a breeding machine. I say I support her smart decision in hiding herself." A male teenage shinobi said.
Sakura, who finally stopped muttering to herself, heard what the man said and quickly turned and glard to everyone around her. "What is WRONG with you people?! Don't you care that the all mighty Uchiha was just a lie?! HOW DARE THAT LITTLE SLUT AND HER DEMON HELPERS DECEIVE US AND MAKE US LOOK LIKE FOOLS!"
"Will you listen to yourself?! How would you feel if you were the last female of a dead clan and were forced into the CRA?!" That same kunoichi asked.
"I would be alright with it! As long as I can have a lot of children, I would be fine with it if it was to revive my clan!"
"Its better to have children with the person you could love instead of different males who might just want you for your body young lady." Remarked a short, elderly woman. "What would your parents say if they saw you like this?"
"My parents would support whatever decision I would make if it were for the greater good you old fossil!" Sakura shouted. "Besides why are you ganging up on me when you should worry about that demon Naruto and his sluts?!"
"NARUTO-NII SAN IS NOT A DEMON YOU FAT FOREHEAD BITCH! AND DON'T CALL HIS PRETTY LADY FRIENDS SLUTS EITHER!" An eight year old yelled out.
Everyone there looked around and saw three kids together, with the one wearing a scarf, red in the face from yelling; with a closer look they recognized the boy as the Third Hokage's grandson Konohamaru along with his friends Udon and Mogei.
"He's the nine tailed fox in human form you brat!" Sakura growled out, purposely letting some of her curse mark spread through her arm as she started stomping over to the three 8-year olds.
Despite seeing murderous aura emanating from the crazy chick, Konohamaru and his friends stand their ground while the others watch in fear.
"Hey, leave them alone, he is the Third Hokage's grandson! You can't hurt him!" People shouted, while others cried for the kids to run away to safety.
"The Third Hokage is in a coma, he can go to hell for all I care! He can't do anything to me! NO ONE CAN!" Sakura screamed with a deranged, snake like smile.
"The hell is wrong with that girl!?"
"Is she insane!?"
"SOMEONE GET SOME HELP! SHE'LL KILL THOSE KIDS!" A middle age man shouted.
Sakura, who got closer to the kids, grabbed Konohamaru by the front of his shirt and hoisted him into the air, grinning evilly as she prepared to punch him. "YOU ARE A DEMON FOLLOWER, YOU MUST BE TERMINATED ALONG WITH YOUR FRIENDS!"
Konohamaru struggled as he looked at Sakura without fear. "Do. . .your worse. . ."
Due to the evil emanating from the crowd's spot, Kurenai, who was closest to said spot quickly arrived on the scene, seeing her student prepared to strike the Third's grandson and shouted in her most authoritative voice. "SAKURA HARUNO! ENOUGH! PUT THE BOY DOWN NOW!"
Sakura, whose mind was clouded by hatred towards the demons, quickly snapped out of her anger, allowing the curse mark to retract back as a regular mark and let go of the boy. "Che. . .he's not even worth it. . ." She started to leave, but was stopped when a hand was gripping her shoulder.
"You are way out of line young lady, you can't just attack innocent bystanders for no reason." Kurenai said as she glared angrily at her student.
"Oh I had my reasons sensei." Sakura responded, not even looking at her. "He disrespected me, and deserved what was coming."
"He did not lady Kurenai! He was defending Uzumaki-san and his teammates when she called them demons and sluts!" Said a young mother with one of her children in her arms, and currently pregnant.
"Mama, what's a slut?" One of her children asked.
"And apparently doesn't know when to not say bad stuff around children!" She continued before looking at her child. "It's a naughty word, don't ever say that to women understand Fujin?"
"Ok mama."
"Lady Kurenai, I do not know what happened to your student, but I may suggest reteaching her some manners? It would do her a world of good." The woman said as she took her children and left the area.
"Hmph, stupid bitch, I have great manners. . ." Sakura muttered.
"Enough Sakura, I've had it with your foolishness. You need to let the fact Satsuki was actually a girl go already."
Sakura tightened her fist that had the curse mark on it until it was white. "Over my dead body. . ." She growled out.
"Sakura, even if Sasuke was real, what makes you think he would have ever looked at you? You were a fan girl who never thought of training until I beat kunoichi training into you. Even then he might not have looked at you!"
"You don't know that, and we'll never know that since Sasuke-kun was actually a bitch. . ." Sakura said as she glared at her sensei.
Kurenai, who was fed up with Sakura's degrading of other Leaf ninja soundly slapped her hard enough to leave a hand mark and blood from where her nails scratched her. "Come on, we're leaving, I've had it with you insulting other Konoha shinobis Haruno. You have lost any and all friends you've ever had. Even some other fan girls like that Miyra child came to peace with Satsuki."
"Well then she wasn't a true Sasuke worshiper! She's a fake." Sakura said while stomping her foot like a child having a fit, angry that no one is taking her side.
Kurenai sighs heavily "Maybe Iruka should have revoked her chance at being a shinobi. . ." She thought, disappointed at her student's attitude before pushing her towards the training grounds.
Sakura only scuffed as she allowed Kurenai to lead her to their destination. "Dammit all. . . . . Satsuki Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. . .you'll pay. . .for everything." She grumbled.
Hinata and Satsuki just finished their spar that had ended in a draw when the two sneezed at the same time while heading back to the dirt path. "Haruno?" Satsuki asked.
"Haruno." Hinata bluntly responded. "I mean come on, what other girl is crazy evil enough to talk about death and murdering people?"
Somewhere out in the multiverse, a fellow twelve year old girl with blonde hair in two drill like pigtails wearing a pink dress sneezed. "Someone must be talking about me. I guess I'll have to find them and kill them. As Mamam would say, La vie est drôle!" She soon started to skip off. "I wonder if Satsuki-chan's having fun with Mamam in the bath?"
Back with the duo, Satsuki shivered. "Weird, why do I suddenly feel nervous?" Satsuki looked towards Hinata to see her shrug.
"Maybe it's because everything is falling apart back at the village?" Hinata responded, shivering herself. "Although I'm feeling a lot of rage and hatred for some reason. . .weird." She then shook her head. "It's probably nothing." She muttered as she headed back for the dirt road. "Ok, so for this Emotions Byakugan, reviewing the past ones were that Red is anger, rage and hatred, Dark Red is violence, both which are like Kurama-san guessed. Some new one I know are Pink being love since when we both took a glance at Naruto-kun, more pink appeared, Orange is determination since we were both determined to give it our all and more orange appeared, Yellow is happiness or joy since we were happy and more yellow appeared, Vomit Yellow however was fear since anytime we pulled a surprise attack and gave off terrified looks, more vomit yellow appeared, Green is willpower since we both have strong will and the green increased instantly, Light Blue is understanding since we were able to understand each other and more of light blue appeared, Normal Blue is trust and loyalty as we were both trusted one another and were loyal to our friendship with one another, increasing the normal blue in the process, Purple is ambition cause we both want to succeed and finally White is purity. . .even though both of us had gone through. . .that. . ." She thought as she then blushed at remembering what she had done before the preliminaries. "But. . .there was one more color I saw around Sakura at the time. . .Black. . .what could that mean?" She wondered.
"Oi Nata-chan, are you alright?" Satsuki asked.
Hinata snapped out of her thoughts as she looked towards Satsuki, nodding happily. "I'm alright Satsuki-chan." She soon started continue walking back. "I'll worry about it later, I got most of them." She thought, glad she was able to learn more about her upgraded Byakugan.
"Good, now come on, Ero-Sennin said he's gonna start our training!" Satsuki happily respond.
Hinata got a spark in her eyes. "Finally, some real training!"
"I wonder what we're gonna learn?" Satsuki responded as they quicken their pace to get to the dirt road where Naruto and Jiraiya were, excited to learn some new moves.
Haku sighed as he along with the members of Konoha 11, the former Otokage shinobi Kin, and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Fū watched some mayhem happening in the village. "All cause of the reveal. . .the frickin' reveals caused all of this." An explosion was heard from another part of the village.
"Dammit, not again!" Kiba grumbled. "That's the third one today!"
"And so far this week, the tenth time. . ." Shino said.
"Troublesome, these people are really in denial about the truth." Shikamaru remarked.
"I heard that some of Sasuke's former fangirls and some villagers have gotten over it, but it's still a long way to go. . ." Ino said as Choji munched on his chips.
"THESE ARE INDEED THE MOST UNYOUTHFUL ACTS THE VILLAGERS ARE PULLING!" Lee exclaimed. "NARUTO-KUN, HINATA-SAN AND SATSUKI-SAN ARE ALL HERO OF THE VILLAGE AND THE PEOPLE ARE IN DENIAL ABOUT IT!"
Neji sighed as he looked at his hyperactive teammate. "You'll have to understand Lee that sometimes people just want to see what they want to see and deny the reality of things. . .it's how human beings are. . ."
Tenten looked at her Hyuga teammate weirdly. "Man, Naruto-san must've really knocked some sense into you. You would've never said that before in the past."
Neji sweat-dropped with a blush on his face at the remark. ". . .I guess he did. . ."
"Man I hope those three are alright though, they just suddenly went missing a week ago." Kin said, sporting her new Konoha Headband after the week in interrogation where she revealed basically the same information that was already known about Orochimaru. She was a little sad when she learned that Zaku had died in his sleep, but it quickly passed since she really didn't like him that much.
"Ah don't worry, Naruto-chan will be alright." Fū said from the railing. "He, Hinata-san and Satsuki-san are training with a Sannin. And possibly it's for the best since they're out of the village with the all crap going on." Another explosion was heard from the village. "Like that." She deadpanned.
"Jeez, how many leftover paper bombs were there from the invasion. . ." Haku muttered as he pet Akamaru's head, who was whining from all the explosions.
"A lot apparently." Choji said after swallowing a handful of chips. "Although I've heard they've almost found all of them." Cue another explosion. "But since some are timed, it makes much more difficult."
Haku sighed as he rubbed his head. "The village still has a long way to go before it recovers."
"Got that right." Fu said as she looked out at the village, slightly narrowing her eyes. "Dammit Chomei, where did you go off to now!?"
"If it weren't for those damn civilians I am pretty sure that the damage to the village would have been significantly less than what it is now. . . ." Haku said as he saw smoke travel through the air.
"Yeah you're right." Kiba nodded as Akamaru barked in agreement. "I even heard from my mother that they're trying to get rid of most of the training grounds to put in stores. . .greedy bastards. . ." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"If only we could find some leverage against the civilians. . .but what?" Fū asked. "We need some kind of ace up our sleeve. . ."
"Well. . .if you think about it, we as ninjas are the ones who bring in the money, so what if we stop doing missions altogether?" Shikamaru suggested.
"That's a great idea Shikamaru! But what if our sensei tells us otherwise?" Ino asked with a small frown.
"Ino, I'm positive that they will support our decision based on everything that is happening. The civilians are going out of control with this chance of power until the Third wakes up."
"If he wakes up that is. . ." Shino pointed out. "He may have somehow gotten younger, but it's still unsure. . ."
"Shino! Must you point out the down side, I believe in him and that he will wake up." Tenten said, getting nods from the others.
"I am just analyzing the situation from a scientific standpoint." Shino remarked as he adjusted his glasses as yet another explosion went off from the village. "There should be at least 30 more paper bombs left now out of the hundred thousand placed throughout the village. My insects are scouting the village looking for the explosives at this moment."
"Yup, Suna and Oto really overdid it." Ino sweat-dropped. ". . .I recently heard about this other rumor about Suna. . .and it isn't pretty. . ."
"Really, what is it?" Tenten asked, feeling a bit intrigued as everyone focused their attention on the Yamanaka heiress.
"Apparently, Suna was tricked into attacking, their Kazekage was found dead and he was actually impersonated by that pedophile Orochimaru." She said with a grim tone of voice as she covered her mouth with her hands, leaning her elbows onto her knees as she sat.
"It's true, about what she said." Kin said backing up Ino while looking down towards the ground. "I didn't hear about it until the last second, and I only heard about it from some cocky Oto shinbois from the invasion."
Everyone, even Shino seemed shock by this revelation as they looked at each other hating the fact that Orochimaru seems to be ruining everyone's lives in some way, shape or form.
"No wonder that man is a rogue ninja. . .he's deceived multiple people. . ." Neji said.
Kin nodded. "All for the sake of experimenting and trying to gain new jutsu. . .I heard that was the reason he tried to mark Satsuki Uchiha. . .just to get her Sharingan. . ."
"Dear Kami. . . ." Choji muttered.
"Then why would he try and mark Hinata as well?" Tenten asked. "Even though he didn't plan it, Hinata and Satsuki both became Pseudo-Jinchurikis at the same time when Shikamaru, Ino and Choji were fighting you and your former teammates Kin-san."
"But why didn't he sense anything about Naruto? I mean I am glad he didn't but why only them?" Neji asked as he stared at the girls.
"I don't even want to think about what could have happened if Orochimaru got Naruto." Kiba said with a grim look upon his face.
"Impossible. . ." Fū said. "Kurama's chakra would made sure that a seal like Orochimaru's Curse Mark would've been rendered useless. Chomei told me the same thing. Demonic chakra would just burn seals like those kind Orochimaru uses on his men." Fū was glad to know she was able to trust the status of her being a Jinchuuriki to the others after telling them a week ago.
In another part of the village, said demon was in human form, dancing through the construction as it was going on. "Hehe, man that was a lot of fun during the invasion! I got to beat up a lot of baka bakas! Hehe record broken!" Chomei said as he then gave off a peace sign before doing a backflip, getting some weird looks from people by his appearance, but also some impressed looks from his moves.
"Who's that kid?"
"Those are some interesting moves he's doing."
"Is he dancing?"
"I think so."
"He's not bad, although I've never seen moves like those."
"He should be helping out the village after everything that happened!"
Chomei ignored the last comment as he continued dancing like mad. "Hehe, baka bakas, so serious at times!" He chuckled as he continued. "Man, having some freedom is goooooooood!"
"Che, I can't believe this happened. . .the invasion, having to fix everything that was wrecked, and worse of all, the Uchiha being a fuckin' female of all things!" One man growled out as he hammered a plank of wood on his shop.
"You know, if it wasn't for Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki, I am positive that there wouldn't be a village if they hadn't helped stop the invasion." Chomei said, gather some people's attention.
"That is true. . ." Replied an old woman painting her shop. "And there is nothing wrong with females Kashimi!"
"And what about the Uchiha Clan!? How is gonna get revived if the Uchiha is a girl!?"
"Well I'm pretty sure that Satsuki-chan is in love with the Namikaze boy, I hardly think the clan will die out."
"So what, you want the Uchiha to be a slut for the demon brat!? I already heard that he's got the Hyuga Heiress under his thumb thanks to that Haruno girl!"
"If the boy was a demon, I hardly doubt the Hyuga clan head will allow his daughter to be with him, use your head you old fart!" Yoko said.
"Baka baka, don't call Naruto a demon or his pretty girlfriends sluts!" Chomei yelled towards the man.
"Ya wanna start something ya little brat!?" Kashimi said as he came down from working and glared at Chomei.
"Kashimi, stop upsetting everyone. No wonder your wife left you!" Koji, a red head male said as he helped build a shop.
"Ah screw you, this brat messed with me and deserves some pain!" Kashimi yelled as he cracked his knuckles. "You really shouldn't have opened your mouth brat."
Chomei smirked back at the man. "He doesn't know that I'm a demon. Hehe, baka baka." He thought. "Mind if I embarrass you?" He taunted.
"Like you can you little brat!" Kashimi said as he pulled his fist back and ran at the boy, ready to knock him out.
"I can't hear you!" Chomei taunted as he smoothly dodged the attack using a backflip.
"Grr, how dare you make fun of me!" Kashimi yelled as he grabbed a pole and ran at the boy once again, intent on sending him to the hospital.
"Hehe, baka baka, like you can hit me!" Chomei chuckled as dodged every attack thrown at him.
Kashimi, who is tired and sweaty yelled in frustration before throwing the pipe into a newly fixed window. "DAMMIT! YOU FUCKIN' BRAT!"
Chomei just chuckled in response. "Says the baka baka throwing the fit." He then stuck his tongue out at the man.
"KASHIMI, WE JUST FIXED THAT FUCKING WINDOW YOU IDIOT!" Benimaru screamed out.
"Forget the window Beni! I need to teach this stupid brat some manners on respecting his elders!"
As people gather to watch the fight that was happening, some people were taking bets on who would win, though it was a landslide in Chomei's favor.
"Man, that kid is really messing with Kashimi."
"Is he a ninja?"
"He doesn't act like one."
"I've never seen him in the village before."
"I wonder who he is?"
"Me- INCOMING!" A man quickly got out the way as Kashimi crashed into a vegetable stand.
"MY CABBAGES!" The vendor cried.
"Sorry sir, but it was the baka baka's fault!"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT YA LITTLE BRAT!"
As Chomei continued dodging and causing Kashimi to crash into things, neither one noticed something falling from the sky until. . .
"DYNAMIC ENTRY!"
"Woah!" Chomei cried out in surprised, honestly not expecting what had just happened as the man kicked Kashimi in the face.
"What is this unyouthfulness that is going on here? I demand to know what happened." A tall man, with a bowl haircut and big bushy eyebrows said.
Chomei stared at the man with a childish face as he pointed towards Kashimi. "He did it!"
"And just who is this man do to unyouthful things such as attacking an unarmed child? And be truthful."
"I was only defending my friends Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki when he insulted them. He called Naruto a demon and his girlfriends sluts!"
"I see, well I am happy to see such dedicated friends defending those three youthful ninjas! I am Might Gai, the green beast of Konoha. Who might you be?"
"Uh. .. " Chomei started. He didn't want to reveal his real name to the people. "I'm. . .Cho." He mentally kicked himself for the name he came up with.
"Well then Cho, I admire you for defending his friends, but-"
"Hold on, I didn't even attack him, I just dodged the entire time."
"It is true Gai-san, he never lifted a finger, it was all Kashimi." Benimaru said while glaring at said man.
"Traitor. . ." Kashimi grumbled.
"Hello, you broke just about everything the rest of us just fixed! And besides you picked a fight with a kid!" Koji yelled out in frustration.
"A most unyouthful act, especially toward three of the heroes that protected our village." Gai added, crossing his arms over his chest. "If the village wasn't in the state rebuilding, then you would've been taken in by the Anbu." Gai then narrowed his eyes as he sensed something. "I have to get going now, and I don't want to hear anymore about what was said involving Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Hinata Hyuga or Satsuki Uchiha. I'm off now, with the power of youth!" As he ran, a sunset appear as he dashed away.
". . .did a sunset really just appear as he was leaving?" One man bluntly asked.
"I think so. . ." A woman responses.
"Does that always happen. . .?" Chomei asked.
"Once every 5 hours. . .you get used to it after being in the village." An elderly man said as the crowd dispersed itself. "How long have you been in the village?"
"A month." Chomei responded.
"That explains it." The elderly man said as he started to leave himself.
Chomei scratched his head as he started to leave himself, but not before looking in the direction where Gai went off to. "I sense some strong chakra that way. . .I better go and find Fū-chan. . ." He thought as he raced off to find his partner.
Back with Fū and the other as they walked through the village to find some help to repair it, her eyes widen as she felt a high amount of chakra. "What is this. . ." She muttered. "This definitely isn't Chomei. . .and Kurama's with Naruto. . .something is definitely up. . ." She thought.
"Hey Fū, are you alright?" Kiba asked.
"Y-Yeah, I'm alright." Fu said as she then looked at Haku, who had a stern look on his face. "I'm guess that he's sensing the chakra too. I wonder what the hell is happening." She thought. "Chomei, you better be alright. . ." She muttered.
When Hinata and Satsuki caught up to Naruto and Jiraiya, they immediately noticed Jiraiya giving Naruto a bundle of papers. Satsuki was the first to respond to such a strange act; what use did Naruto have of papers? "Naru-kun, what're you doing with all those papers?" She asked.
He barely registered what she had said. His eyes were sort of glazed over, and his brow was furrowed. "I. . . I have to do this training exercise for Pervy Sage." He responded, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "I. . . I need some time to think." And with that, he went and sat on a nearby rock.
Confused, Satsuki gaved Jiraiya a sour look, making him feel slightly irritated. "What do you want?"
"Why did you give Naru-kun all those papers?" Satsuki asked
"Oh, those are for a training exercise. In fact, I have more for you two as well." He said, handing them both bundles of paper. "I want all three of you to write in these journals over the course of our training together. You can write about whatever you want, be it about your feelings, thoughts, or just anything that comes to mind, be it real or fake. Think you can do that?"
Both girls had determination in their eyes, and firmly replied, "Of course we can, Jiraiya/Ero-sensei!" Before walking off to join Naruto in his thoughts.
As Naruto sat on the rock, he began to think about what he could write about. He never really trusted anyone, so he was rather uncomfortable about sharing what really went on in his head. "Wait," he thought, "why don't I write about someone else? Pervy Sage did say that it didn't have to be real." So he got to thinking again. With the world he lived in being so difficult, why not write about a better world? But he discarded it quickly. "An easier world would be nice, but useless." Maybe he should write a story that is lifelike, with all it's twists and turns, but centered on a simple, ordinary person? "That would be perfect!" Now with an idea starting to form, he began to write furiously, his ideas flowing quite steadily.
Satsuki looked at the bundles of paper in her hand. "I wonder what I can write about? What should I write about?" She thought, sighing as she scratched her head. She then started to think back, remembering all the fear she went through thanks to the elders and Civilian Council. "Maybe. . ." She started bring the pieces of ideas together in her mind. "Yeah. . .maybe that could work! Everyone should at least know what it was like dealing with people like the Civilian Council through my eye. . .the eyes of the last Uchiha. . .no. . .the eyes of a female shinobi and the troubles she could have to deal with. . ." She thought before she sat down to write, the exact words she wanted to say came to her in an instant.
"Hmm. . . what should I write? What do I feel like writing?" Hinata looked at the blank papers, deep in thought about what to write about, but the more she tried to force her thoughts, the more they seem to hide from her. "Maybe if I just clear my mind, I can figure out what to write." Hinata sighed tiredly, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to clear her mind. Seconds past, then minutes before her mind began to she her when she was younger, training with her father and his harsh ways, the images soon changed to how she became friends with Naruto, how he taught her to be strong, how she soon learned of Satsuki's dilemma and became like a sister to her. "That's it!" Hinata quickly grabbed her papers and smiled. "I can write, about how my friends made me stronger, about everything that made me who I am right now, a proud and powerful kunoichi. Strong like father, but kind like mother." She thought with a smile, writing what she knew that would make good material.
Jiraiya watched from afar as his student wrote. "Good good, this'll help them loosen their brains and ease up so they'll be able to concentrate on the training at hand. . ." He thought as he eyed Naruto. "Minato, Kushina, you would be proud of your son. . ." He then eyed Satsuki for a moment, then Hinata before looking at the sky. "Hiashi, Mikoto, your daughters are growing up well. . .I regret at times not taking you two to train with me and Minato, but I will make it up by training your daughters into strong shinobis." He thought before sighing. "Another trio now. . .I won't fail them, no matter what. . ." He muttered as he continued to watch the three write, more towards Hinata and Satsuki. "The Akatsuki shouldn't know about the girls being pseudo-jinchurikis. . .I'll have to make sort of excuse for each time we head to a town for rest to separate the three for a brief moment. . .they won't like it. . .but I'll know if the enemy is nearby then if I sense their chakra or if Kurama tells Naruto after seeing through their eyes. . ." He thought. "I pray to Kami that they don't find out about this. . ."
Two hours soon passed as the three continued writing while Jiraiya kept watching, impressed so far that they haven't stop since they got whatever ideas in their heads. "Alright, better get them to stop and start some real training." He thought as he got up from his resting spot before bringing his fingers to his mouth and whistled. "Alright you three, pack it up, we got to get onto some real training." He called out, before leading them deeper into the forest once they got close.
When they stopped, they had reached a giant clearing that was more than large enough for any type of training. In fact, it seemed like there was too much room, like a real battle would have taken place here. Actually, the ground was scarred in some places. "Alright, Pervy Sage, what do you want us to do?"
"Simple, brat. Since you don't train well without tough opponents or a lot of motivation, you and your girls are going to be fighting each other. . .if you can handle it. . ." Jiraiya said with a grin.
The three grinned, and looked at each other with determination. "Alright, let's do this dattebahi!" Hinata said excitedly. Nodding in agreement, the three all jumped to different places on the edge of the clearing. Jiraiya appeared in the middle, and stated the "rules".
"Alright! You fight using whatever techniques you know, and if any of you is injured, step out of the battle until you heal, and then you can join again! You can use the fox's chakra for this one, and don't be afraid to use your weapons! Also, try not to kill each other! On my mark. . ." They prepared their weapons, and flexed their muscles. "GO!" Jiraiya vanished, and the others rushed in, ready to fight and win.
Satsuki started first, throwing five shuriken, two at Naruto and the rest at Hinata, before making several hand signs. "Phoenix Flame Jutsu!" The shuriken caught on fire, and gained a slight speed boost. Another handset later, and she cried out, "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Hinata countered by throwing three kunai, never breaking stride, while fluidly avoiding the others, and even throwing some back at Satsuki.
Naruto, on the other hand, spun around with the flat of his blade, creating a wind gust that blew away the weapons, before suddenly throwing it like a frisbee at Hinata, who managed to jump over it, and it curved away towards Satsuki, who used her tanto to make the blade stick into the ground.
Naruto and Hinata were the first to meet in combat, entering in a flurry of taijutsu. Naruto's wild style, which utilized all of his speed and strength, was more difficult for Hinata to counter with Gentle Fist, so she quickly switched to Gentle Kicks to keep him at a range disadvantage since she had the longest legs of the two of them. Naruto's claw-like attacks were able to bat her legs away, but when he would try to grab one, the other leg would swing around for his head, forcing him to release Hinata and dodge. His lucky chance came when Hinata enter her inverted helicopter kick, and he was able to slide and grab her abdomen, slamming her into the ground. He managed to grab one of her legs, managed to stand up, and spun around with her, before letting her go, using their momentum to send her towards Satsuki.
Once she neared Satsuki, Hinata quickly righted herself, and began spinning, performing a type of mid-air Rotation, the end result made her look like she was using Kiba's tunneling fang. Satsuki managed to dodge, but Hinata broke the Rotation, grabbed Satsuki's leg, and spun around with her, using Satsuki as a sled to go on the ground, before rolling around to slam the Uchiha Heiress face-first. However, Satuki managed to reverse the hold, and kicked Hinata in the stomach, making her stumble.
Satsuki didn't lose a second, charging forward with her tanto. Hinata grabbed a pair of kunai and attempted to block all of the furious blows, while trying not to falter as Satsuki was using a two-handed grip. She then managed to lock both kunai in an X-shape, holding Satsuki's blade. Suddenly, Hinata jumped up, grabbed Satsuki's arms with her legs, and threw her over. Then, both of them disengaged as Naruto suddenly plummeted down from above, sword in hand. Bursting into action, Naruto attacked with powerful strikes, keeping his sword close to his body for defense. In a moment of quick thinking, Hinata made a quick hand sign to shoot a stream of water from her mouth, forcing Naruto to block. Satsuki channeled Lightning chakra through her body to quickly move behind Naruto, and performing a side swipe towards him. Naruto tilted his blade to make the water shoot towards Satsuki, who was forced to dodge. Then, Naruto dug his blade into the ground, and performed a quick series of hand signs, before slamming his hands into the ground, and calling out "Earth Style: Mud Barrier!" A large wall, roughly five feet thick, sprang up in front of him, taking the brunt of Hinata's water attack. He picked his blade up again, and used it to hold off Satsuki.
Satsuki quickly backflipped away, and both Naruto and Hinata disengaged their jutsus. The three came close to each other, and prepared their battle stances. As if to respond to a specific command, they all jumped in unison, and began the last phase of their spar. Vile red chakra spewed out of the three in the form of geysers, and they all grew two tails made of chakra, as well as a kind of chakra 'cloak' around their bodies. When they went back down, they had barely touched the earth before launching themselves forward. What followed next was a display of such speed and ferocity that Jiraiya found himself having to struggle to follow.
Large chakra claws came out, slashing, looking for every available opening. Every inch of their bodies were being used in an animalistic fashion, quickly tearing up the ground. Suddenly, the battle took a turn in Naruto's favor. He managed to grab his sword, and infused it with his chakra, making the large blade become an imposing seven foot long, two foot wide chakra weapon of destruction, which he wielded as if it was the weight of a kunai. Satsuki was only able to make her tanto five feet in length, and a foot in width, while Hinata pumped more chakra into her claws and tails.
While both girls attempted to slash at Naruto with their weapons, he simply held his sword upside down in a one-handed grip, completely stopping the two. With a flick of his wrist, he made them stumble, and with another stroke, he sent them flying. Not wasting a second, he channeled more chakra into his sword, before making a horizontal strike, sending out a wave of red chakra.
Continuing his assault, he summoned two shadow clones, each with their own version of Zabuza's Executioner's blade. In retaliation, the girls both made their own clones, and the three-way battle became a nine-way battle. All of them began to move faster than Jiraiya could keep up, and he decided to call the match before the whole forest was leveled. "Alright that's enough now!" He called out.
Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki laid on the grass after being told to rest by Jiraiya as they looked at the sky as the clouds went by.
Satsuki sighed as she watched. "Now I know why Shikamaru likes this, it's really relaxing. . ."
Hinata nodded in agreement. "It is, almost makes you forget about what's going on back at home. . ."
"Yeah. . ." Naruto got out as he yawned a little. He massaged his shoulders, trying to get the kinks out. "Kurama isn't healing very quickly right now. I wonder if he's asleep. . ."
"Who knows," Satsuki responded as she closed her eyes to see if he was there before reopening them. "Well. . .his main body's there, but it's asleep. . .so he must be in chibi form."
"Then he's probably with Jiraiya-sensei." Hinata suggested. "The two do get along."
"Only on the perverted stuff like Icha Icha." Naruto said as they all laughed a little before his eyes widen. "We better find them before they do something stupid."
"Yeah." Satsuki said as she got up.
"Good idea." Hinata gulped as she did the same.
"Then let's go." Naruto quickly said as he got to his feet as the three headed out to find their perverted teacher and perverted tenant, and working out the soreness from the sparring match.
Said duo was chuckling pervertedly as they were hiding in some bushes. The reason, there was waterfall on the other side as some young women were playing in their swimsuits.
"Hehe, oh yeah, those are some very fine ladies!" Kurama whispered in his Kazama Arashi disguise.
"You got that right Kurama, they should make excellent material for a new novel." Jiraiya whispered back as he scribbled and wrote some notes down. "Very excellent material indeed."
"Sweet!" Kurama responded as the two soon gave off lecherous chuckles. "Oh, and the three are coming to look for us now. The kit we can deal with. . .but the girls. . .you can think of Kushina for an example. . .mainly to the the Uchiha. . ."
Jiraiya's body stiffen for a moment as it then shivered at the thought. Oh kami. . .Mikoto's daughter being like Kushina?" He paled a little at the thought. "Kami help me. . ."
"Meh, don't worry about it." Kurama remarked with a wave of hand. "It'll take hours for them to find us."
"Oh really?" A threatening voice started, causing the two to wince at who it was. "While I am happy to be compared to Naru-kun's mother, I really don't appreciate you peeping on innocent women like that, dattebakon." Satsuki said, her hair going into nine bundles that looked like tails while cracking her knuckles and her eyes glowed a menacing yellow.
"Ah crap. . ." The two perverts thought, now really seeing Kushina Uzumaki in the last Uchiha.
A distance away, Naruto and Hinata watched as Satsuki made Jiraiya and Kurama shit themselves. "Do you think we should help her?" Hinata asked.
Naruto chuckled as he looked at her. "Nah, she's got this." The two then watched as Satsuki proceeded to beat the living hell out of the two for their actions.
Moments later, Satsuki had a satisfied look on her face as she, Naruto and Hinata were walking down to road heading for the upcoming town. "Well. . .that was refreshing. . ."
"Glad you enjoyed it Satsuki-chan." Hinata said as she patted her on the back.
"The two did have it coming." Naruto admitted.
"Ah shut it kit." Kurama grumbled from the seal. "We're gonna be sore for a while because of her."
Behind them, Jiraiya was dragging his feet as he worked on healing his face. "Damn that hurt. She really is like Kushina in a way. Beautiful and deadly. . .she's gonna be more like her when she gets older. . .I can feel it. . .crap. . ." He mumbled before looking at his students with a serious look on his face. "The village is still in disarray thanks to everything that happened and the Akatsuki are on our possible trail. . .Kakashi already explained to me about how Orochimaru tried to mark Satsuki and Hinata to get the two go eventually go to him, but he didn't anticipate Kurama transferring demonic chakra to them. . .but that just made the two of them targets now. . ." He deepened his glare, more towards Satsuki and Hinata. "Satsuki Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga, those two being pseudo-jinchūrikis will grant them incredible power. . .they may be able to control now, but eventually," He then rubbed his stomach, knowing what was inside him. "they'll also have to fight Kurama to gain his full power. . .and that will be their toughest challenge yet. Pseudo-jinchūrikis. . .I never thought something like this would happen. . .not one bit. . ." He finished thinking as he trudged behind the three as they walked before shifting his eyes slightly. "They're following us. . .I'm sure of it." He thought.
A distance away, two men in black cloaks with red clouds and scratched headbands, one with a Konoha symbol and the other with a Kiri symbol, they looked at the four, more specifically at Naruto and Jiraiya.
"Hmm, it seems that he's taken on a couple of disciples, eh Itachi?" The man with blue skin and the headband with the scratched Kiri symbol. "So Itachi, what should we do? One of them is a Sanin while the target is there and two of them are just some random disciples."
"Yes Kisame, but someone like Jiraiya always has a weakness, you just have to exploit it." Itachi responded as he then focused his look towards Satsuki. "What are you doing here. . .Satsuki?" He thought, bewildered that his own sister was here of all places.
Soon enough, the four had arrived at an outpost town under the name of Otafuku on the way to their destination.
"Hey Ero-Senin, why are we here?" Satsuki asked.
Jiraiya sighed at the nickname that Satsuki and Naruto gave him. "We're just here for a quick rest from traveling," He then looked directly at the three. "You three should be tired from that training session."
"Uh, not really." Satsuki said in a deadpan tone.
"Nope." Naruto simply said.
"I feel fine." Hinata honestly responded.
The responses made by the three caused Jiraiya to sweat-drop what they had said. "This is gonna be a lot more difficult. . ." He muttered as he lead the three to a hotel. "Anyway, this is where we are gonna be staying for the night."
"But we aren't tired." The members of Team 7 deadpanned.
"I swear, if he's using this as an excuse to look for women. . ." Naruto thought with an annoyed look.
"Ah let the man have his fun, we all have needs kit." Kurama said with a perverted smile.
"Do you want want me to hurt you again fuzzy-chan?" Satsuki said with a deadpan stare and a scary-sweet tone of voice.
Kurama gulps nervously as he backed away further into his container's mind and replied in a shaky tone, "N-no. . ."
"Well, look at it this way, we get to relax and explore the town while Jiraiya is out scouting for women." Hinata pointed out.
"Well you do have a point Nata-chan" Satsuki said before grinning. "Alright, we can do that."
"You two go enjoy yourselves, I make sure Ero-senin doesn't overdo it." Naruto said as he then pecked both girls on the lips before going off to find Jiraiya after he suddenly disappeared.
"Let's see if there's a hot spring at the hotel Nata-chan. We could use one." Satsuki said with a smile.
"Alright Satsuki-chan." Hinata said with a smile before linking arms with Satsuki and walking off to look around town for a while.
"You so want to go watch them don't you kit?" Kurama retorted.
"Not for the reason you are probably thinking of." Naruto said. "I just have this feeling. . ." He continued before looking for a clearing to train in.
"Aw c'mon kit, it'll be fun". Kurama said in a whiney kind of voice. "Checking out the racks on those sexy babes of yours in a steamy hot spring! It'll be heaven!" He then proceeded to fill Naruto's with naked images of Hinata and Satsuki with their impressive bodies.
"Perverted fox!" Naruto yelled in his head before blocking the images.
Meanwhile with Hinata and Satsuki, they had finished undressing themselves in the changing room as they headed for the hotel's hot spring, which they were lucky to know that no one was in the spring at the moment before they suddenly sneezed.
"Fox?" Hinata asked with a sniffle.
"Yup." Satsuki responded with a nod, her breasts bouncing at the action before messaging Hinata's back.
"Hmm. . .that feels niiiice Satsuki-chan." Hinata said with a peaceful look on her face.
Satsuki smiled as she then took Hinata's hand and dragged her outside, going into the hot spring. "These springs aren't bad." Satsuki admitted as her breasts floated on the water.
Hinata nodded in agreement. "Yes, they are. Satsuki-chan." The two stayed silent for a while as they enjoyed the warmth of the water while looking at the ceiling. "Satsuki-chan. . ."
"Yeah?" Satsuki started as she turned her head towards Hinata.
"Do you. . .do you regret anything you did?"
In a grassy field, Naruto was working on on combining some elements with physical attacks. "Hmm...what am I missing?"
"The sight of both your fiance breasts?" Kurama retorted.
"Ye- What?! No you pervy fox!" Naruto exclaimed with a dark blush across his face. "I'm talking about combining elements into physical attacks, kind of like jutsu but without the hand signs." He finished with sigh, trying to figure out how to combine the two techniques.
"There has to be a way to do this without having a limb electrocuted or burned to a crisp, I just need to find out how." Naruto said with a tired groan. "How many times did you have to heal my arm because of that?"
"Hmm. . .around ten times, give or take a bit more, I wasn't keeping count." Kurama admitted.
"Hm, well I am all for taking a break and getting a bit of rest, besides the girls might already back in the hotel room." Naruto said with a smile thinking about his two lovely ladies.
"Did you tell them you were gonna find Jiraiya?" Kurama asked curiously.
"Nah, as long as he doesn't bring his women to the room we'll be fine for a while. Besides I think we can take care of ourselves." Naruto pointed out.
"True, you are ninja for Kami's sake." Kurama said before yawning. "Alright then kit, lets go see your mates."
"Frickin' pervert. . ." Naruto grumbled before getting up, brushing off the dirt from his pants and walking off towards the direction of the hotel. "it's amazing how I'm not like you in that way."
"Says the person who created the 'Sexy Jutsu." Kurama reminded. ". . .And what's wrong with being a pervert?" Kurama asked with a bit of a whiny voice.
"First of all, the Sexy Jutsu was a gag which worked in my favor because it comforted Satsuki-chan. Secondly, do you think I want to get beaten to a pulp if I got caught peeping on women? No thank you."
"Hmph, you make it seem as if getting our butts beaten by a bunch of angry women is a daily occurrence."
". . . .It is fuzzy butt and I don't intend to make it a daily occurrence in my life." Naruto said with a deadpan look on his face. "Besides, why should I peep on women when I have two beauties already?"
"True, you're right." Kurama said with a sly grin. "Now if only you would peep on them."
"No thank you, besides I've already seen Satsuki-chan, now hush fuzzy butt, we're here already." Naruto said as he headed up to the hotel room he and the girls were sharing for their stay.
"Where the heck is Naru-kun? Is it possible he got held up with Jiraiya or did he got distracted by a ramen stand near by?" Satsuki asked in a jittery tone to Hinata, who was laying on the bed as she paced around quickly.
"Maybe, or he probably just got distracted with training, you know how he is sometimes Satsuki-chan." Hinata pointed out.
"You're right, that's probably what happened." Satsuki said with a smile before hearing a knock on the door. "Huh, who could that be?"
Hinata looked at the door and activated her Byakugan and smiled when she was it was Naruto. "It's Naruto-kun." She said while deactivating her eyes.
Satsuki grinned happily before all but sprinting to the door and pulling it open, revealing a surprised Naruto. "Naru-kun!" Satsuki exclaimed before yanking him inside and hugged him. "We were wondering where you could have been."
"Sorry about her Naruto-kun, she got into my pack of cinnabuns earlier when we got back and ate a few too many." Hinata explained with a giggle in her voice.
"Haha I can tell, but that's okay." Naruto said before kissing Satsuki on the cheek before he then made his way over to Hinata and kissed her cheek as well. "And how are my two lovely princesses?"
"Good, the hot spring were nice." Hinata started, blushing from being called princess.
"Yeah, we might go again tomorrow, they were really relaxing. Now I know why our senseis go to the hot springs back home as much as they do." Satsuki said as she jumped onto Naruto's back, pressing her breasts onto his back.
Naruto grunted at the soft impact before grinning to himself and holding onto Satsuki's legs, and begin spinning around with her still on his back.
"Ahhh! Naru-kun! Haha faster!" Satsuki said, happiness enveloping her voice.
Outside the door two men, in long black cloaks with red clouds on them are standing, one with his hand raised as if to knock on the door but stopped when he heard his sister's voice, only to growl at the next part he heard through the door.
"Want me to go faster Satsuki-chan? your wish is my command."
The person lift up his head showing off angry red eyes that have the Sharingan.
"Woah, looks like the brat is getting it on with some lucky girl. Eh Itachi?" His partner said.
"Not if I can help it Kisame." The first man said before kicking down the door in his rage. "UZUMAKI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY LITTLE SISTER?!"
"N-Niisan?!" Satsuki yelped before jumping off Naruto's back and landing next to him while Hinata rushes to them as well.
There was a moment of silence from what had just happened before Kisame suddenly burst out into an insane laughter.
"AHAHAHAHA SO ALL IT TAKES IS FOR THE BRAT TO MESS WITH YOUR SISTER, FOR YOU TO SHOW SOME KIND OF EMOTION?!" Kisame said with tears running down his cheeks.
"No one is going to use my baby sister for anything!" Itachi with an uncharacteristic yelp as he turned to glare at Kisame who was still on the floor gasping for air.
The members of Team 7 looked on at what just happened before realizing what was going on.
"Well fuck." Kurama said to the three of them in the seal while Naruto and the others took out their weapons and hold them in a defensive stance, in case one of the two men in front of them make a move.
Once Kisame was done laughing, he pulled himself up and stood next to his partner before looking at the three kids in from of them, sizing them up.
"Hello. . . Satsuki." Itachi said in his regular monotone voice, after calming down himself.
"N-Niisan. . . ." Satsuki muttered quietly as she stared at the murderer of her. . .their, family as tension started to raise in the air.
"Satsuki-chan. . ." Naruto and Hinata muttered, not knowing what was gonna happen.
"Uchiha. . ." Kurama started as he felt her anger rising.
Her bangs covered her hair as she balled her hands into fist, feeling a surge of Kurama's chakra coming.
"Oh, it looks like your little sister has something special about her." Kisame started, hefting his massive sword.
On the outside, Itachi was unphased by this, but on the inside, many question started to form, but the main one that kept circling his mind was. . ."What. . .happened to her?" He thought.
"Itachi. . . ." Satsuki growled out before slightly lifting her head, showing off her Sharingan/Kyuubi mixed eyes.
Itachi suppressed his surprised at what was happening to his sister, never seeing this before in Uchiha history.
"She's pissed. . .really pissed. . ." Naruto got out.
"Satsuki-chan. . ." Hinata started. "Don't. . ."
Satsuki growled animalistically, fighting down the urge to bare her teeth at Itachi as her hair went into nine bundles, looking like tails as they swirled wildly behind her. "You. . .you. . ."
"Oh shit. . ." Naruto got out
"YOU BASTARD!" Satsuki exploded as her pent up rage was released.
JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: Yo everyone, long time no see! I know it's been a while, but we all have our reason for taking so long. Shinobi's not here at the moment since he's still probably going through the same thing we've been going through. . .the curse known as school! But now that the semester is over, we'll work hard to make up for a lot of lost time! Now here's darkangel325!
DA325 (darkangel325)'s A/N: Hey everyone DA here and I am so very sorry that the evil creation known as school took our time away. I battle long and hard with finals and came back a war-beaten winner. It was twice as hard because with JG working and Shinobi being busy, I had to work on this alone for a bit. It's hard coming up with a good chapter but with professional help, we managed it!
JG: So now it's review time, I'm up first with an old review from Dragon Man 180!
Nice chapter, good fights. I can't wait to see what Tobirama's actions with his brother and Hiruzen result in, but if it brings back Sarutobi in his prime with Mokuton... well I say let him test his new abilities out by kicking Danzo all around the village for threatening Naruto, Satsuki, and Hinata.
Well thanks Dragon, really appreciate it. And trust us, what will happen to Danzō will be incredibly satisfying! Along with the rest of the idiots in the village! Alright DA, you're up!
DA: Alright this review is from RaizanX!
Great story, hope it updates soon. As for Satsuki and Hinata learning the Rasengan, I'd say yes, but only if they manage to "complete" it as well (add their element). Would be interesting to see how this plays out, with Hashirama in Hiruzen's body as well... which brings up the question as to why Tsunade is brought back to the village...
First of all, thanks for the complement. As for your wonderful questions they will have their own versions of the Rasengan, but it will be their secondary attack, so their real jutsus and techniques are their so called "ace" up their sleeves. Second of all, I don't want to reveal much concerning Hiruzen but he will still be around. As for Tsunade coming back, well the village still needs a healer don't they? And who better than Tsunade!
JG: Man it feels good to be back in the groove! . . .but not everything was smiles with me, as one of the main reasons I wanted to get this chapter done was because last night my dog that me and my family had for 15 years passed away. . .it's also where I learned something very important, never take life for granted and enjoy the time you have. I can't mourn forever though since time goes on, I will miss my dog and he'll always be a part of my family.
In other news, Naruto the manga has ended and I must say that I called Naruhina happening! WOOHOO! 700 Chapters is a good go for a manga series and it won't be forgotten as it's what got me into anime in the first place back with first aired on Toonami!
DA: Just to let everyone know...I so knew this couple was going to happen, because it really wouldn't happen with anyone else. So because of this, everyone who knew this would happen is awesome!
JG: NaruSaku fans can also suck it and get a life for trying to start a petition to get Naruto banned in the US just because he didn't get with Sakura!
DA: First of all. . . .Sakura is a bitch and Hinata is way better. Second, Hinata was never a fan-girl. Third and more importantly, Hinata actually has breasts! Sakura is no where near her level of womaness and awesomeness so suck on that!
JG: Haha! Well said DA, well said. Anyway, as DA has said in her review response, we decided to make it so Hinata and Satsuki have Rasengan as secondary attack. . .but now we have another problem. According to the last Naruto databook, it said that for Hinata's Element Affinities that she is a Fire and Lightning Nature. . .and to me, that makes no sense whatsoever! Opinions DA?
DA: I've always pegged Hinata as a water element with earth as her secondary element. So I say we stick with that because she is more flexible and graceful.
JG: My thoughts exactly! So Hinata will be saying as water, and maybe get a second element later, but it will be unlike the databook. One more thing to deal with, I sure you noticed that certain scenes from chapters 18, 22 & 24 are gone. . .and I must say that they are gonna stay like that because I do not wish to risk the chance if another purge of fan fictions comes along and get this fan fiction shut down! So we are leaving it at that! Any last words before we go DA?
DA: Just a few. JG and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all those who have stuck with us throughout this whole story so far and we love you guys a lot. It's because of you we are trying to make as a good of a story as possible. So, thank you 3~!
JG: Again DA, well said! I also would like to thank everyone for the reviews made for this story and all the support we have gotten. If Shinobi was here, he would also be happy! Don't worry everyone, the next chapter won't take as long, we promise! So until next time, see ya later!
DA: Ja ne everyone~!
