Chapter 33: Confrontations
As the members of Team Seven and Jiraiya soon arrived at the location where the explosion was located, they were greeted with people fleeing in the other direction, Kurama came out of the seal and disguised himself into his human form after making sure there wasn't anyone near to see him.
"Just our luck. . ." Kurama grumbled in annoyance.
One of the people then bumped into Jiraiya as he was consumed by fear. "Run! You gotta run man!"
"Calm down!" Jiraiya started as he grabbed the jittery man's shoulders. "What happened?"
"Th-the c-castle!" He frantically replied. "T-Tanzaku Castle was completely destroyed!"
"What cause it to be destroyed?" Jiraiya asked.
"I don't know!" He said and kept running. "SNAKE! SNAAAAAAAAKE!" He cried as and panicked, causing the group's eyes to widen at the mention of the animal.
"Bet I can tell who did this. . ." Kurama growled in anger and look toward the destroyed castle. "Again. . .just our luck. . ."
The trio didn't have to think hard on who could had been responsible for this with those screams. "The pedophile is here!?" Satsuki growled in pure rage. "I've had enough with him and now we have to deal with him again dattebakon!?"
"If he's here to try to get Hinata-chan and Satsuki-chan again, I swear I'll kill him dattebayo!" Naruto roared in equal fury.
Hinata meanwhile activated her Byakugan to scout the area. "I don't see anyone at the castle at the moment. . ." She reported as she was trying to control her emotions better than her teammates/finances.
". . ." Jiraiya said nothing as he thought long and hard on this. "This can't be a coincidence. . ." He began to think. "Him being here when we are here along with what's going on in Konoha. . .he could be either here to get the girls, which I doubt as if he did, he would also know that I'm here with them and he's not stupid enough to take me on. . . or. . . his here for the same reason we are here. . ." He deduced in his mind. "He's after Tsunade. . ." He stated out loud.
"WHAT!?" The trio exclaimed in unison.
"Why the hell would that snake pedo be after the busty lady!?" Naruto exclaimed his question, not noticing the slight stare of jealousy from Satsuki when he said 'busty' and had a look that simply said 'Look at ours only dattebakon!'.
Hinata however noticed this and started petting Satsuki on the head. "Yosh yosh. . .you know what Naruto-kun means. . ." She gently told her.
Satsuki blushed from being caught. "I-I don't know what you mean!" She quickly responded with a pout. "A-Anyways. . .I agree, what's that pedo after her for? She's way too old for his fetishes." She asked while she cross her arms.
At a bar, a blonde haired woman sneaked as she slipped her sake. "Someone must be talking about me. . ." She muttered in a drunk and depressed tone, while a dark hair woman holding a small pig watch said drunk.
"Mmm. . .If I had to guess. . .It could have something to do with his fight with Sensei. . .I'm pretty sure he didn't go away from that fight without some kind of serious injury." Jiraiya deducted.
"That does make sense. . .And you did say that she is the best Medical Ninja in the world." Kurama agreed. "If that pedophile is in need of her medical expertise, it can only mean that the injury he had received from the old gramps was a very serious one that only she could possibly heal. . ."
"Well that just means we just gotta find her first!" Satsuki stated with determination. "There's no way we're losing to her in bust size! And when we grow up, we'll be even bigger than hers and keep Naruto's eye's on ours only!" She thought, also with determination.
"If he does find her, what make you think she would even consider helping him. . ." Hinata asked as she then looked down at her own breast. "I hope mine will grow just as big as Satsuki-chan's. . .They're big now, not like hers, but I hope Naruto-kun's keep his eyes only at ours. . ." She thought to herself.
Then to both girls began to think and came up with the same idea. "Gotta drink more milk!" They both thought in unison with a gleam of light in their eyes and purposely bounce their still developing breasts.
Unbeknownst to the girls however, Kurama heard it all as he just wiped away a leakage of blood. "It's official, I love these girls!" He thought.
This made Jiraiya think as he started to rub his chin. "Your right. . .they may not have a nice chat with each other. . .but she dose knows just how dangerous he is. . ." He stated. "But. . .why do I have a bad feeling about this. . .it's like there's more to this then we see. . ." He commented in his mind. "In any case. . .We will stay in this town for now and try to look around once more for clues." He told them.
Naruto nodded to this as he then looked at the girls before looking back at Jiraiya. "I think we should start the third step for the Rasengan at least. . .if the snake is here will need learn it to have an ace up our sleeves to use against him."
Satsuki nodded in agreement to this. "Naru-kun's right, it's more likely that we'll end up having to fight the pedo, we'll need everything we got to fight him."
"They're right and we must find Tsunade-sama as fast as possible before Orochimaru does." Hinata stated.
Jiraiya sighed as he knew that they were right. "Ok, but I'll only show it first so you can at least know the final step. . .then will take a small break and get something to eat. . .and also find us a hotel for us to stay at. . ." He then ordered the last bit as he then took out another balloon. The genin nodded. With that response Jiraiya pull out a normal uninflated balloon and began to inflate it until it reach the size of a small ball. "Alright. . .Here it is." He declared.
". . ." The trio stare at the ball for a few moments and nothing happen.
"Well? What do you think?" Jiraiya asked with a proud tone.
"Ha! So that's it, huh?" Kurama stated with a smirk as he knew what was happening. "That guy really did made something like the Bijūdama. . ." He thought to himself.
Naruto and Satsuki waited another few moment and when nothing still happen, they began to blink a couple of times before looking at each for a moment before looking back at the unchanged balloon, which made their irritation grow with each and every second that past. "WHAT IS IT!?" They both exclaimed the question in unison.
Even Hinata stare and notice nothing different, it didn't move, it didn't change size or it expanded. "Maybe. . ." She began and then activated her Byakugan, then she say it. "Wow!" She shouted in amazement.
"What!?" Naruto and Satsuki asked as Jiraiya and Kurama only smirk.
"It's inside the balloon. . .the Rasengan." Hinata responded in awe.
With that Jiraiya pulled out a pin and pop the balloon. As the remains of the balloon shatter they all could now see a Rasengan in Jiraiya's palm and shocked Naruto and Satsuki in the process. "Like a said this is the last step. If the first step was the rotation of the chakra and the second step is power. . ." He began. "Then what's the third step then?" He asked the three in a questioning tone.
With this question the trio began to think. After a few moments it was Hinata to come up with an answer. "It's the combination of the first two steps we've done." She revealed her deduction.
Jiraiya could only smile and was very impressed by the brilliant mind Hinata had. "We have a winner! That's right! Its the combinations of both steps while containing them in a small size. The size of a normal size ball." He then looked more towards Hinata. "And this step is three times more difficult than the second step, so I'm not expecting even you Hinata to master this step in the first try." He stated with a smirk full of confidence. Then he began to pull out three uninflated balloons and gave one to each of them. "Try it once and see if I'm kidding." He stated as his smirk never lost its confidence.
Hinata sighed to this. "I didn't mean to get the second step down that easily. . ." She commented with a pout and took the balloon. She and the others too began to inflate it until it was on the same size of a ball. They began to try the same steps as before. Naruto and Satsuki began to move their fingers with the same amount of chakra like they added for the second step, while Hinata did it like Jiraiya did it. It didn't take not even a second and all three balloons popped, this cause them to fell on to land on their butts from the force of the blast. "Eep!" Hinata got out as she landed on the ground and began to rub her bottom. "Wow. . ." She got out as she looked at the crater that was created underneath where she was.
"Dammit!" Naruto exclaimed.
"This is tougher!" Satsuki added.
"Way tougher than the last one!" Naruto finished.
Jiraiya smirked as he looked at their reactions. "Now you guys can see why this jutsu is the ultimate shape manipulation. Much more the Kakashi's Chidori technique, not that it isn't strong, by no means, its strong in its own right, but it still need hand seals, lighting chakra, a very high speed requirement and the Sharingan to be use at all, because of the tunnel vision of going that fast." He stated. "While the Rasengan, you can create it with chakra alone and without the need of hand seals, elemental chakra or any extra requirements." He began. "Well. . .for this stage that is. . ." He added in his mind. "So the chakra control need to create this needs to be at an incredible high levels." He added then he unsealed and threw three whole bags of balloons to them. "You can practice it on you own as we go, after all I'm not expecting any of you to master this anytime soon." He taunted and he began to laugh rudely at them.
The three this time knew that Jiraiya was trying to taunt them this time as they just decided to ignore him as they headed out to find a hotel. "SCREW YOU ERO-SENNIN!" They all called back in unison.
Kurama chuckled to this. "They're getting smarter." He stated as he follow close behind.
Jiraiya sweatdropped to this. "Yeah. . ." He then turned to the disguised Tailed Beast. "So, any ecchi thoughts from those girls of the Gaki's?"
This made Kurama chuckled pervertedly. "Where do I even begin with what they were thinking!? Get the notebook out and start writing!" He simply stated.
To which Jiraiya was oh too happy to complied and began to also chuckled pervertedly.
Ino was panting heavily as she hid in the alleyway during a surveillance mission as she just witnessed Danzō's followers worshipping the man as akin to a god. "S-Shit. . .this is the worst. . ." She got out in a whisper after taking a few deep breaths. "The Obedience of Shadows? What kind of insane thing was that? He just wants to rule over everything in the Elemental Nations!" She added with anger before she then remembered the masked shinobi beside him. "Just who the hell was that person next to Danzō when he gave his insane speech anyway. . .I couldn't see his face or see if he was even a 'he' to begin with. . .though he didn't looked like he have any indications of having breasts so he must had been a guy. . ." She thought to herself as she then started to run back to the Hyuga Compound she slowly started to piece some piece of the puzzle. "By the way Danzō was treating him, he's probably the one who started this mess in the first place!" She deducted before she saw the Hyuga Compound in her vision.
"Ino!?" Chōji called out from inside the barrier. "What you doing out here all alone!?" As he asked one of the barrier squad team to open a small opening and after making sure that she was the really Ino, one of the security began to make a full body check, he didn't even had the chance to as he was kicked on his ball and Ino declared that her dad would hear about this, well it was a given that only the real Ino would ever mention her dad in a threat like that and now they knew that she was the real thing and not an enemy, so they let her in. "Did you bring back any food?" He then asked as he held his stomach, already use to Ino acting like that.
Ino had to resist a face fault to that question. "No time Chōji, I just overheard something BIG!" She responded and went straight to the area where all the clan heads were located.
"Wait up!" The chubby boy called out as he followed her. "What happened!?"
Shikamaru was walking lazy around the compound looking as lazy as ever when he saw Ino running straight towards his direction. "Troublesome. . ." Was the only thing he had to say. He then made a handsign. "Shadow Stitching Jutsu." He lazily started as he shadow quickly caught up to Ino and caught her. "Ino, as troublesome as it is to asked. . .what the rush?" He asked as his shadow still holding her in place.
"Dammit Shikamaru, now isn't the time!" Ino raged out as she struggled to break free.
Chōji finally manage to finally catch up with her as he started to catch his breath. "W-What is going on Ino? Why are you in such a hurry. . ." He asked as he was still catching his breath.
Ino growled a little as she glared at her two teammates. "I saw them alright!" She answered.
Raising an eyebrow, Shikamaru released Ino from his control as he and Chōji looked at her. "Them? Just who exactly are them?" He asked before pondering about it before his eyes widen in realization. "It was Danzō wasn't it. . ."
Ino nodded in response to that. "Yeah. . .I saw the bastard. . .the people were praising him like if was a god! And the asshole was acting like one too! It's official, he's doing a hostile takeover!" She declared as she then resumed walking. She then suddenly stop and her face turn to one of shock.
"What's the manner?" Shikamaru asked as he saw her expression.
"If they are going to do a hostile takeover. . .Then what's going to happen to Hokage-sama!" Ino asked in terror.
"Don't worry," Shikamaru remarked in response. "Hokage-sama is in good hands." He stated with a smirk.
"Good hands? Who-?" Ino began but was interrupted.
"Anyways, don't worry about The Third and anyone else in the hospital also, lets just focus on what you saw and report this to the clan heads." Shikamaru stated and began to walk towards the room were the clan heads were located and his teammates began to follow.
"I still hope this all ends soon. . ." Chōji admitted as he was filled with uncertainty.
"Me too. . .Chōji-kun. . .me too. . ." Ino simply replied as she was also uncertain about the future.
As a group of mindless drone like shinobis walked around the hospital as if they were guarding it, they continued to go on about Danzō and his greatness.
"So that's where Hokage-sama should be?" One voice asked from within the shadows on the roof.
"That's what I heard. Hokage-sama and my eternal rival should be in there!" Another voice responded in a much more and excessive energetic tone.
The first voice only sighed to the second's energetic attitude. "Let's just get inside and make sure no one can get the old man. . ." The first said as the light of the moon light came upon them revealing to be Asuma and Gai. "The hospital may have a very powerful barrier that protects the medical staff inside and the patients from the genjutsus effects. But those crazed civilians that were already affected and can still get inside." He commented as he lit a cigarette and took a smoke.
"Right! It's up to us to make sure they don't get inside! And protect Hokage-sama and my eternal rival, alongside any and all inside the hospital!" Gai declared with passion. "Now! Let's go Asuma!" He added and began to punch and kick out any crazed civilians away from the hospital.
"That idiot. . .all this years and he still as loud as ever. . ." He said as he took another deep smoke from his cigarette and then exhaled it while throwing it away. "Well. . .Its guys like him that make the most impact on our 'kings', wouldn't you say old man. . ." He added and then when after him while joining him in the protection of the hospital.
After a few minutes, a large amount of bodies were all pile up together and then another one joins the pile, as his eyes had swirls and had bruises all over his body. "35!" Gai declared with pride.
Asuma looked on with a sweatdrop as he saw the huge pile of unconscious crazed civilians and shinobi a like. "You know. . .They may be under Danzō's control, but you could go easy on those guys." He commented as he handed another unconscious civilian to the medical staff, after making sure they were strap by ninja wire to make sure they don't attack them again after regaining consciousness.
"Maybe Asuma, but it is necessary to prevent them from retaliating!" Gai explained. "And I made sure not to injure them too much!" He added while giving his signature smile and thumbs up while flashing his teeth.
Asuma only sighed in response. "Right. . .let's just get Hokage-sama and Kakashi." He then ordered.
"Right!" Gai agree and they both went to get them. As they continued down the halls, it soon became eerily quiet all of a sudden. "Asuma. . .You felt that. . ." He asked as he was in full alert ready for anything as he took his stance.
"Yeah. . ." Asuma replied as he took out his chakra knives and gripped them in his hands. "We have unwelcome visitors. . ." He added as he slash behind him and cut someones shoulder instantly incapacitating him from further combat. "Nice reflexes, but I can cut way longer distances." He stated as wind chakra was beginning to be infused to his chakra knives.
"You shall not get in the way of Danzō-sama's rule." The injured hooded assailant declared with an emotionless tone as then many more hooded people began to surround him and Gai.
Asuma just smirked to this. "Sorry, but we don't want to lose our home to his reign. . ." He retorted. "Gai! Go crazy with them." He added with a smirk and got to his stance.
"Alright! I'll beat more than you can!" Gai declared with an industiatic tone and charged at the assailants.
Asuma sigh once again to that. "Not now Gai!" He complained in annoyance and also charged in as well. "Now I know how Kakashi feels. . ." He thought to himself as he rolled his eyes.
Back in the ROOT Headquarters, the room was slightly illuminated as Danzō looked down upon the bowing Sakura.
"There's been. . .minor resistance Danzō-sama. . ." Sakura reported. "The fools lead by the clan head are keeping refugees in the Hyuga Compound. . .refusing your rise to power." She explained.
"A minor setback," Danzō responded still with his emotionless expression and voice. "They will eventually fall when enough pressure is placed upon them. But more importantly, how is the operation with Hiruzen and Kakashi Hatake. . ." He added as the two of them unconscious or not, could be a wrench in his plan to become Hokage..
"The ROOT agents have arrived at the hospital and are confronting those from the Hyuga Compound encampment." Sakura answered. "And it looks like they are better than we expected and are repelling the agents assault on the former Hokage and the non-Uchiha Sharingan user."
"Is that so. . ." Danzō got out, his face still unreadable. "Hiruzen still being alive will only let those fools that still believe in that foolish Will of Fire to resist me and be against me. . .And I should had kill Hatake when I had the chance. . .But I thought he would had been and excellent ROOT agent with enough time. . ." He thought to himself, then he slightly turn his head towards Sakura. "Make sure they are terminated. . .if they fail their mission they are of no use to me. . ." He ruthlessly ordered with no sympathy for his own ROOT agents.
Sakura merely nodded to this. "I'll dispose of them instantly Danzō-sama. . ." She replied as she was a bit anxious to try out her new power on someone living and to see them bleed to death. . . "Jussssst sssssso I can get a tasssssste of what I'll do for all thossssssse foolssssss and those demonssssss. . ." She thought with vile glee. "Any other orders Danzō-sama?" She then asked her master.
Danzō merely nodded to this. "A secondary mission. . .I must planned for anything, for any situation. . ." He began. "Orochimaru has informed me of a project. . .an intriguing one at that. . ." He finished as his emotionless face slowly began to break with something akin to excitement.
"Project? What kind of project Danzō-sama?" Sakura asked with curiosity.
Danzō turn around and a very sinister glow began to radiate from him. "The creation. . .of the Ultimate Shinobi. . ." He declared as he vanish in the shadows.
As Jiraiya was walking with Team Seven and Kurama he admittedly sighed as he scratched his head. "Tsunade. . .always the one who hides well. . ." He muttered in slight annoyance and worry in his tone, then his hair raised from yet another fail attempt from the trio's practicing the final step of the Rasengan. "Keep it down will you! I'm thinking here!" He complained as he turn towards them with comical angry face.
"Screw you!" Naruto and Satsuki retaliated as they inflated another balloon.
"Mmm. . ." Hinata on the other hand was simply observing her balloon. "The Rasengan really is the ultimate shape manipulation jutsu. . .Its a jutsu on a complete whole other level, so I don't think will be able to learn the finish product like this with a current level of chakra control, even with all of my knowledge and years of practice with chakra control I am nowhere near the level require to complete a perfect Rasengan. . .It could take years to gain the necessary level of chakra control to be able to create one perfectly." She deducted as she was analysing after her multiple failures and trying to come up with some way to facilitate the creation of a perfect Rasengan, even going as far as to imagine it in her mind. "Any recommendation Kurama?" She then asked via mind link.
"Mmm. . .Here's the thing about this jutsu is for you three, it's that you need to learn one very important factor that none of you have any experience with in terms of chakra control." Kurama replied via mind link.
"And what's that?" Naruto asked as he also heard Hinata's question and as he and Satsuki were also curious of what they he was talking about.
"Compression." Kurama simply responded.
"Compression?" The trios asked in unison.
Kurama then chuckled in response. "Like that perv said, can't just spoil you with everything. Find out the rest yourself." He answered in a vague tone and walk past them and walk next to Jiraiya.
"Screw you too!" Naruto and Satsuki stated in unison, Satsuki even giving Kurama the middle finger in her fit of anger.
Then Naruto gain his prankster smile and pull out a disinflated balloon, he turn around and began to fill it with different things. Then when he finished, he turned around and began to throw the ball up and down in his hand and with a vile sinister smile he took a baseball stance and like a pro pitcher, he threw it straight at Kurama. "Yo! Heads up!" He declared.
The moment Kurama turned his head around and he did as such, he was meet with a balloon hitting his head and the contents of it spread across his body. "Powder. . .really? Thats the bes-" Kurama began as he began to get an itchiness all over his body. "What the hell!?" He muttered out in confusion as he began to scratch himself like crazy. "WHAT THE HELL!?" He roared as he continued to scratching his body like crazy all over the place in many different ways as he fell to the ground. "ITCHING POWDER!?" He finished as he scratch his butt on the dirt floor.
Satsuki laugh uncontrollably to this. "Payback's a bitch." She got out as she then pulled Naruto into a kiss, smooshing her breasts into his chest and making his cheeks go red. "Nice one Naru-kun! Genius!" She told him via mind-link.
"I aim to please!" Naruto responded in a joking tone after ending the kiss. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, prank master!" He proclaimed.
Satsuki purred in response to this as she stroke Naruto's chest with a single finger as she then moved her head towards his ear. "You're turning me on with all that you do. . .it's incredibly. . .hot. . ." She ended in a seductive whisper right to Naruto's ear, making him blushed crimson red.
Hinata was also laughing uncontrollably, after a few deep breaths, she regain control of herself as she looked at the remains of her last balloon. "Compression. . ." Hinata muttered as she tried to make sense of the hint Kurama left them. "He did had a point. . .We're so used to only expelling our chakra for are jutsu's that were don't have any training for compressed our chakra." She thought to herself.
Jiraiya sighed once more as he looked up to see that night had fallen. "Alright everyone," He started to the three genin. "It's time to turn it in for the night." He stated.
"What!?" Satsuki got out in response after getting off of Naruto. "Are you serious!?" She asked with a cute pout.
"Yes, no need for you three to burn yourselves out in one night." Jiraiya responded as the three genins saw that their hands looks burned from the overused of chakra and were also slightly trembling because of nervous breakdown from the overused..
"But what about what's going on back at home!?" Naruto started in anger. "What about that bastard Danzō!?" He then added.
"We'll need all the power we can gain to beat that asshole and protect our village, our friends and our love ones!" Satsuki declared and subconsciously grab Naruto and Hinata's clothing.
Jiraiya smirked at that answer. "Looks like you changed. . ." He commented. "She's accepted herself as a female after the gaki told me that she used to be afraid of people finding out about her. . .now she's following her own path and it'll lead her to greatness someday. That's good. . .in some ways. . ." He thought, seeing more of Kushina mixed with Mikoto in her and shivered at the thought. "Kami save us. . .more specifically. . .save me." He then muttered.
"Huh?" Satsuki got out as she looked at Jiraiya. "What do you mean by change, Ero-sennin?" She asked him
Jiraiya's eye twitched to the nickname as he then turned around. "Nothing for you to worry about. . .let's go, there's a bar nearby that I heard has some decent food." He then heard multiple stomachs growling at once. "And I can tell that you're all hungry." He stated the obvious and smirked.
The three didn't respond however as they just followed Jiraiya as the trio wonder what Jiraiya meant for when he said that Satsuki had change, herself wondering about it the most.
As the three sets of stomach continued to growl, they all had to admit that they were indeed hungry after all the training and were in need for some food.
As the trio followed Jiraiya, Naruto was trying to think of a way to make a Rasengan, with each second he thought of ways to come up with a solution, his head began to turn redder and redder and steam began to came out of his head. "Oh screw this!" He suddenly shouted as he scratch frantically her hair, shocking the girls as he took a few steps back from them and began to make a Rasengan without a balloon. "I'm not the thinker type! I learn better by doing things than to use my head!" He declared and began to move his fingers and add the necessary power for one, then as the chakra was moving on top of his palm moving wildly, after concentrating as best he could it turn into a bigger and unstable Rasengan for a moment the as he tried on controlling the chakra, the he try to compressed it to make it smaller, it instead dispersed, knocking him on his bottom. "Whoa!" He exclaimed with a shocked expression. "Did you see that!?" Naruto asked very excitedly.
"Nice one Naru-kun!" Satsuki started with stars in her eyes.
Hinata nodded in agreement. "You almost had it!" She stated as she was so proud and happy for him.
Jiraiya merely looked back for a second as he then kept walking. "That was plain horrible! You only wasted all the chakra!" He told them as he wasn't impressed by that.
"Well screw you!" Naruto replied and walk passed him with the girls right behind him.
"Ha! He got that out of pure luck, but he still manage to get some grasp of how to compressed his chakra." Kurama commented as he stayed behind with Jiraiya.
"Yup! It was pure luck, that why I didn't encourage it, although he did had a point when he said that he learn better by doing, so he should keep practicing like that on his own to get the hang off the essence of the third step. But regardless. . .He just made a huge step forward and considering that out of the three of them he has the worst with chakra control, his one step closer from mastering his fathers jutsu then the other two." He explained. After catching up the trio the walk for a few more minutes and then finally reach their destination. "Here we are. . ." He then finally stated as the group made it to the bar. "I'll get us a table and-" He started before he then looked into the bar and his jaw dropped. "Oh you have got to be kidding me. . ." He barely got out.
The three genin then gave him a confused look. "What?" They all asked in unison.
". . .We found her. . ." Jiraiya deadpanned he pointed into the bar.
Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki blinks a couple of times as their brains were trying to register what Jiraiya had just announced. When their brain finally register it, it struck them like a bolt of lightning. . . "EHHHHHHHH!?" The three soon exclaimed in response at this.
"Oh the irony. . ." Kurama chuckled out as he go onto Jiraiya's head. "Damn! What a rack!" He added while he drooled.
Even Satsuki had to admit that the woman was indeed busty. . .and she started to feel a pinch of jealousy coming. "Dammit. . ." She thought with a pout, then when he turn to look at Naruto he had a small blush as he saw said women, this made Satsuki close her eyes and smile sweetly it was obvious it was fake though.
Naruto felt Satsuki's stare and he began to sweat bullets and had a look of terror on his face jealously grow more. "It was just a normal reaction when a guy see a pretty lady!" He tried to explained via mental link, but Satsuki face didn't change at all, in fact her face turn and gave a pleading look at Hinata, but she also gave a sweet smile too, crushing all hope from Naruto's soul. "They are so going to kill me. . ." He thought as he shed anime tears and drop his head in defeat.
The girls looked at each other and began to laugh silently among themselves. "That'll teach Naru-kun for think another girl, Lady or not as pretty. We are all he needs!" Satsuki told Hinata in a whisper before looking at the blonde woman. "Oh it is so on now Tsunade-sama!" She declared in her head as she then looked back at Naruto. "I'll just give Naru-kun a reminder of what me and Nata-chan have for him. . ." She then purred out in her mind following with a giggle.
Jiraiya then started to walk over to where the blonde woman was and noticed that she was drinking a little since she had a drunken blush on her face. "It's been a long time Tsunade, Shizune. . ." He said as he was referring to her and the other woman that was strangely holding a pig named Tonton.
The blonde tilted her head slightly as she groaned a little. "Well look who it is. . ." She got out in an annoyed tone.
"Tsunade-sama. . ." The other woman got out weakly. She was a fair-skinned woman of average height and slender build with black eyes and hair. Her hair was straight and shoulder-length with bangs that cover her ears and frame her face. She was also wearing a long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings, held closed by a white obi, and open-toed sandals with low heels.
"What?" The now named Tsunade asked the dark hair woman. "Just let me drink in peace for once Shizune. . .I really need it right now. . ." She told the now named Shizune.
"Is this really Tsunade-sama though? A drunk?" Satsuki asked in her mates via mind link.
"It appears so." Hinata simply answered.
"Man. . .She's not that impressive now that we found her and seeing her like an alcoholic, some world class Medical Nin. . ." Naruto commented out loud with a very unimpressed face as the three then sat down on the other side of her table.
At this the girls facepalming their forehead for saying that out loud. "Naru-kun/Naruto-kun. . ." They both mumbled in unison.
"Somethings never change." Kurama commented with a chuckled as he was on top of Naruto's head and recurrently the girls had to agree, though Satsuki felt some relief from that knowing that he wasn't interested in Tsunade as much for her looks.
"Wazzat suppose to me ya talkin' fox?' Tsunade got out in a drunken manner as she really thought she was already drunk heavily for even thinking it was normal for a talking fox being with them.
Shizune however looked on as she stared at the fox. "Are. . .are you?" She got out.
"Later." Kurama quickly responded with a foxy smile as he waved a paw, he then turn into chakra and return into the seal, causing Shizune's and Tonton's jaws to drop.
With that, Tsunade return being sober and her eyes widen in shocked. "What the hell?" She got out as she could believe what she just saw.
Jiraiya sigh as he saw where this was going and decided to stop this before they will have to explain everything. "Anyways. . .Tsunade-hime." He said and regaining Tsunade's attention.
"Well. . .it seems like it's becoming one big grand reunion of the Sannin. . ." Tsunade offhandedly commented as some food arrived at the table and the Team Seven members started eating along with Shizune.
"Orochimaru, huh? "Jiraiya simply stated as he took a sip of sake. This made Shizune gasp in shocked, but Tsunade didn't so much a move a muscle. "So. . .What happened?" He asked them while the trio watch with their full attention in what they will say.
Tsunade gave a serious glance at Shizune. "Nothing much. We just said 'hello' to each other." She simply replied and said it very eerie calmly, then she pull out a stack of cards from her dress and began to play with it.
Jiraiya stare at her with critical eyes as she remain quiet.
"It's getting very intense. . .isn't it?" Hinata asked via mind link a she took a sip of her tea.
Satsuki nodded to this. "Yeah. . .she may be a drunk at the moment. . .but she still is a Sannin like Ero-sennin. . ." She responded then she took a bite of her food.
"No way she isn't like Ero-sennin in terms of skill, if she is even remotely close to him than she must be a really strong old lady is Ero-sennin could beat us with a single move. . ." Naruto commented as he took another loud chomp of his fish.
After a few more moments Tsunade put the stack on the table. "What do you want from me?" She finally asked.
Jiraiya split the cards in half. "I'll get straight to the point." He began, then began to shuffle the cards and put them back on the table and just as Tsunade was about to grab a card he continued. "Tsunade, the village has requested that you become the Fifth Hokage." He reveled earning a gasp from Shizune while the trio look on with intense eyes, while Tsunade began to give herself and Jiraiya cards.
"Not to mention stop that bastard Danzō from basically destroying our home. . ." Naruto stated in his mind.
"Got that right, he and the Honorable Elders. . ." Satsuki added with disdain towards the two elderly folks.
"They must all pain for their crimes. . ." Hinata finalized.
"Have you heard about the Third?" Jiraiya asked as he picked up his cards and notice the sad look on Shizune's face.
Tsunade pick up her cards. "Orochimaru killed him, right? I heard from him directly." She stated.
Satsuki gave off a confused look as she glanced at Naruto and Hinata for a moment before looking back to Tsunade. "I guess she doesn't about Jiji's condition. . ." She thought.
"It is possible. . .That Orochimaru must've thought that he killed Hokage-sama. . .And in that condition he found him anyone would had thought the same. . ." Hinata sadly suggested in her mind.
"That bastard. . .him and Danzō both. . ." Naruto growled out in his head and tighten a fist.
"That. . .and the village is in massive disarray thanks to a certain old man that was a friend and teammate of Sensei's. . .And by the way Sensei's isn't dead, yet." Jiraiya added as he noticed Shizune's eyes widening.
"So you're saying the old fossil is still alive?" Tsunade retorted.
"Alive. . .but in a coma at the moment. . ." Jiraiya humorously got out.
Tsunade then deepened a glare. "Then why do you need me then? To wake him up? I could do that. . .But I have no interest in being Hokage. . ." She responded with her voice filled with disdain as she said the word Hokage.
"Tsunade. . ." Jiraiya groaned out.
"Is it true. . .Hokage-sama is still alive?" Shizune asked with curiosity.
"Well. . ." Jiraiya didn't know exactly how to say the part where the Third miraculously lost age to the point when he train himself and Tsunade. "It's not exactly easy to. . .explain. . ." He began to explained, but he didn't have a chance to elaborate.
"Doesn't matter," Tsunade stated as she took another shot of her liquor. "Being Hokage. . .it's a fool's choice. . ." She insulted.
"Oh. . .She just had to say that. . ." Kurama thought with a chuckle as he now knew where this conversation was heading.
"Naruto-kun/Naru-kun. . ." Hinata and Satsuki thought in unison as they turn and look at him with worry in their eyes, instantly knowing where this would lead.
And as his friends expected, Naruto was slowly getting angrier and angrier by the second. But he was trying to hold his rage. But before his mates could do or try to calm down. Tsunade continued.
"Life isn't like money. . ." Tsunade began with her voice sounding completely filled with indifference. "Only an idiot bets his life so easily, nothing fits better that than a Hokage."
Naruto broke his chopsticks from anger as his self-control was near his limits. "An idiot!?" He thought with anger.
"My grandfather and the Second wished to end the war. . .But they wasted their lives before they could accomplish that." Tsunade continued.
"You've changed. Tsunade. I don't know what you've been thinking, but you put it in words." Jiraiya commented with a hint of sadness.
"I'm in my fifties, even if I look like this." Tsunade retorted humorously. "Time changes people. Sarutobi-sensei is the same. If an old man tries to act brave, of course he will nearly die."
By this Jiraiya, Satsuki and Hinata look at Tsunade with calm yet angry expression, while Naruto was just about to reach his boiling point.
"She's really pushing it. . ." Satsuki barely got out, not exactly liking the woman for insulting her segregated grandfather after all he did for her and for concealing her secret all those years.
"She is. . ." Hinata responded in an equal tone.
After a looking at her nearly Royal Flush, Tsunade gave a sigh. "The title Hokage is a piece of a crap. Only an idiot becomes one." She finally declared.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. As Naruto got up with impressive speeds and charge at Tsunade from the other side of the table and his fist was only one inch from touching her nose. It was only because of a human form Kurama who came when no one was looking stopped him by grabbing the back of his shirt.
"Knew that was going to happen." Kurama said with a smirk, then turn to look at Jiraiya. "Sorry, but I'm still technically this idiot's nanny so I had to stop him from doing something stupid." He told the toad sage, while said sage merely wave him off as Naruto was simply starting with anger at Tsunade with his fist still stretch and nearly touching her nose, while she looked completely unimpressed.
"Who are you!?" Shizune demanded after Kurama appeared out of nowhere and point her hand towards him ready to throw her poison senbons at him.
"Like I said. . .This idiot's nanny." Kurama joked.
Shizune turn toward Jiraiya who was still looking at Tsunade, this made her realize that the man in front of him was telling the truth. So she then placed her hand down and sit down again.
After Naruto calm down a little bit, he stump his feed on the table while being inches away from Tsunade. "Anyone who makes fun of my old man or the old man of what they lived for and died for. . ." He began with anger still filling his being. "I don't care if the person is a girl. . .deserves a punch in the face!" He declared as he punch with fist in his palm while looking straight at her eyes with no hesitation or fear, even when he knew that she was just as strong as Jiraiya, after all, he didn't care anymore if people talk bad about him, but if they do for those he loved he would fight Kami herself.
"Who the heck is this kid suppose to be?" Tsunade asked with an unimpressed tone and still had a blush on her face, clearly she was drunk and was getting annoyed by the fellow blonde's attitude towards her and was in her face as she went for another drink.
Naruto deepened a glare as he looked at her. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Tsunade-sama. . ." He responded in a anger tone and the wanting to hit her just kept growing.
To that however, Tsunade dropped her glass as it shattered as Shizune looked at the blonde haired boy in disbelief. "W-What did you just say?" Tsunade got out as she then got a closer look at the boy and a silhouette replaced Naruto who had the same eyes and hair, who's eyes were also filled with anger. "Minato?" She thought.
"I said my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze dattebayo!" Naruto answered once more with an angry expression and this time another silhouette join his side, this one was of a woman that had the same angry face as Naruto but had long red hair.
To that, Tsunade's eyes widen as she and Shizune both looked at the boy, Tsunade no longer have the appearance of being drunk. "Kushina?" Tsunade thought again as she stared at the boy. "N-Naruto. . .?" Tsunade got out.
"Yeah?" Naruto asked as he crossed his arms at he looked at Tsunade straight in the eyes. "What about it?" He added as his anger didn't lessen in the slightest bit.
Everything was silent for a moment as Tsunade sat up and looked at Naruto straight in the eyes.
Meanwhile, Hinata activated her Emotions Byakugan and noticed something about Tsunade. "Wait. . .why is she-?" She thought when. . .
"YOU'RE ALIVE!?" Tsunade suddenly exclaimed as she stood up and then pulled Naruto into a hug, pressing his face into her massive chest. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ALIVE!" She happily cried out as she pushed him deeper into her chest, not noticing Naruto flailing his arms and his face slowly turning red and blue simultaneously, red from the blood on his face and blue from the lack of oxygen.
"Well. . .that was unexpected. . ." Kurama was the first to respond as a moment of watching what was happening, both he and Jiraiya didn't know how to react by this.
But that didn't last long. . . "DAMMIT! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE THE KIT/GAKI!" They roared in jealousy a they looked at Tsunade's massive chest.
"OH IT IS SO ON NOW!" Satsuki raged with fury in her mind as a light coat of Kurama's chakra enshrouded her.
Meanwhile, Hinata was holding Satsuki back with a very fake smile on her face and the Shinigami, Asura and many others angry deities were behind her. "Oh don't worry Satsuki-chan. . .she'll get what's coming to her. . .when we make her become Hokage. . ." She began as her eyes were half open and glowed with a sinister lavender glow while she gave a vile and sadistic smirk. "She'll have to deal with the paperwork. . .a lot of paperwork. . ." She added while still holding a pissed off Satsuki, who had just activated her Mangekyō Sharingan.
From that day, Hinata had joined the scary girls with fake sweet smiles. . .
Ino continued to rush through the Hyuga Compound, while Shikamaru and Chōji were right behind her, needing to tell the Clan Heads exactly what she saw. "Alright. . .Danzō wanting to take over. . .saw the guy that possibly caused all of this. . .Obedience of Shadows. . .dammit it all!" She played out all that she saw in her mind. "Ok ok. . .just calm down. . ." She told herself. "You just gotta tell them everything you saw. . ." She then started to slow down before coming to a complete stop. "Still. . .who was that guy though. . ." She then pondered as she remember what that mask ninja had on him. "The only thing remotely unique was that mask. . .green. . .and pink. . ." She concluded, then just as she was about to have an epiphany of possibly figuring who the ninja was. . .
"Ino, wait up." Shikamaru lazily said interrupting her train of thought, as he and Chōji finally caught up to her. "I know that this is important and we do need to report it, they aren't going anywhere so you don't have to be this anxious." He added just as lazily as ever.
"Yeah, take it easy Ino. . ." Chōji agreed as he was out of breath again. "I really gotta start training more. . ." He thought, deciding that when all of this was over, he would ask Asuma to train him.
Ino growled at this. "That village is getting torn apart and we have intel on the one responsible! So being anxious is the last thing I'm worry about!" She roared at the her teammates and kept going to the room were the Clan Heads were. "I should. . .try and think about that later. . ." She thought to herself with her voice fill with nothing but anxious and began to rub her right arm.
"Man. . .Ino really mad." Chōji commented as he sigh already use to her outbursts.
"Yeah. . ." Shikamaru lazily agreed as he rub the back of his head. "How troublesome. . ." He mumbled as his eyes turned critical. "But this was on a whole other level. . .its almost as if she was more worried about something, something that's frightening her. . ." He deducted in his mind.
Ino then decided to keep walking as Shikamaru and Chōji followed her. When she and the other arrived to the gathering area, there were two guards in front of the entrance as they bared their destination. "State your business." The first guard ordered.
"We're from Team 10, our sensei is Asuma Sarutobi and we are here to report very crucial intel are teammate discovered in while she was scouting the area." Shikamaru stated being as professional as possible while pointing at Ino.
The second guard did a quick scan with his Byakugan just to make sure they weren't assassins in disguised and nodded. "I see, you wish to inform the Clan heads of this discovery?" He watched as Ino nodded to this question. "Very well, wait here until the Hiashi-sama gives you permission, understood?." He stated and Team 10 nodded in understanding, then the guard went to the door and knocked on it a couple of times. "Hiashi-sama, a member of the scouting group has returned early, she says she has some new for you and the other Clan Heads." He informed.
"Very well, let them in." Hiashi ordered from the other side of the door.
The guard turned around and look at Team 10. "You may enter, I don't have to remind you all to remain respectful and professional at all times towards the Clans heads." He told them, when they nodded he open the door and they when inside the room.
Team 10 soon saw the Clan Heads sitting down in two rows with Hiashi at the center. "The guard told us about some intel that one of you had recently acquired while out on a scouting mission. . ." Hiashi stated while his expression was control and show no emotion and staring at the three genins.
Ino and Chōji gulped at the intense atmosphere that filled the room that they couldn't even utter a single syllable.
"What exactly did you witness while you were scouting that was crucial for us to know at this precise moment?" Shibi Aburame asked, deciding to get the discussion started.
"Come on, tell us already." Tsume Inuzuka added as her ninja hound, Kuromaru growled in agreement.
By this point Ino's face was turning blue from her holding her breath, as she didn't know what to say, little lone to report what she saw in a professional manner.
Shikamaru sigh to this. "Troublesome. . ." He got out and took a step forward. "While my teammate was doing some scouting she witness an event that involved Danzō." He began to explained.
With that all of the Clan Heads gave them their full attention. Then they turn to Ino wanting to know what she saw.
"I see. . ." Shikaku responded with a nod.
"Ino Yamanaka, give us your full report." Hiashi ordered.
Ino gulped again as she knew all eyes were on her now. "A-Alright. . ." She began, then she took a deep breath and calm down. "Well as Shikamaru started, I saw Danzō along with multiple civilians around him as they worshiped the man like a god." She began.
The Clans heads nodded, they already knowing how the craze civilians acted, so that type of scene would be possible.
"I also noticed a masked shinobi bowing beside him, his or her face covered so I couldn't see if he was a man or woman. . .and by the way Danzō was treating him or her. . .I believe that he or she was the one who started this madness from the beginning. . ." Ino continued.
"Were there any unique feature about the this masked shinobi you manage to see." Shikaku asked wanting to know as much as possible.
"Tell us any details you might remember Ino." Inoichi calmly stated as he also prepared a jutsu. "After she is finished, I'll look into my daughter's mind to confirm what she said." He explained.
"Understood." Hiashi nodded as he looked at Ino, motioning her to continue.
Ino gulped again to this. "Well. . ." She started. "Should I tell them. . .about who the shinobi might be?" She thought. She then wiped away some sweat from her forehead as then continued. "The white mask he or she wore. . .it looked like a snake. . .it also had green and pink marking. . ." She told them.
This made all of the Clan heads to widen their eyes in shock at the mention of snakes. "Could Orochimaru really be behind this?" Was the common question that all the Clan Heads shared at that moment.
"Are you completely sure of that?" Inoichi asked her daughter to confirm what she has said.
"Yes sir." Ino responded with a nod. "Danzō then started to go on about how he wants to change the village for the better as Hokage and replace the 'Will of Fire' with something he calls. . .'The Obedience of Shadows'. . .That's at least what I remember before I quickly left the area to come back here and to escape from that location before being discovered." She finalized.
Although almost all of the Clan Heads managed to retain their anger, but their killing intents were gushing gallons by the audacity of Danzō to say something like that. Thought Tsume didn't have problems showing what she thought. "THAT SICK ASSHOLE! HOW DARE HE SAY SOMETHING THAT THE FIRST BEVELED IN WITH PASSION!" She roared in fury, showing where Kiba got his attitude from.
"Indeed. . .this is troubling to say the least. . ." Hiashi stated as Shibi nodded in agreement.
"So he actually is going out now to a hostile takeover and try to rule the village. . .by any means necessary. . ." Shikaku started calmly explained, but on the inside he was equally furious as Tsume on the inside.
"It is obvious now that he can not be trusted. . ." Chōza added.
"Or to keep him alive for that manner." Shibi decided.
"He must pay for his crimes when this is over. . ." Inochi declared.
Hiashi nodded to all of these suggestions as he then looked at the members of Team 10. "We all appreciate this information that you have given us. You may now leave after Inoichi looks into his daughter's mind to confirm everything." He ordered. "Afterwards, all of you take a rest to recuperate." He added
Shikamaru and Chōji nodded to this as they both then looked at Ino, who nodded back to them. The two then bowed to the Clan Heads as they then left, leaving Ino alone in the room as her father then approached her. "Mind Walker Jutsu." He started as he placed a hand on Ino's head.
Back at the restaurant. . .The still happy and excited Tsunade was still holding a blue face Naruto as he lack the oxygen to feel any embarrassment anymore.
"Tsunade-sama, don't you think you should let Naruto go? I think you suffocating him. . ." Shizune suggested as she noticed the blue face.
Tsunade then reopened her eyes as she indeed saw the blue face Naruto before she then released him, causing him to take deep breaths for air and began to cough loudly. "I apologize for that. . ." She got out while coughing into her fist.
The girls then grabbed Naruto by his shirt, pulled him and stuff his face in their chest while looking at Tsunade with murder in their eyes. This made Naruto go blue once more and struggle again. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? YOU ALMOST KILLED NARUTO-KUN/NARU-KUN!" They both angrily exclaimed in unison while Naruto stopped moving and his soul was beginning to leave his body.
"I regret nothing. . ." The soul exclaimed while smiling happily and began to ascend towards the light.
Tsunade and Shizune meanwhile raised eyebrows at the two girls. "A member of the Hyuga Clan?" Shizune started, referring to Hinata and then notice the soul that was coming out of Naruto. "AHI! Something came out!" She referred to the soul.
Tsunade didn't pay no mind to her assistant's scream as she was still looking at the girls. "Why are they doing something so shameless to a boy?" She thought to herself in confusion. "And you two are. . ." She got out.
"Hinata Hyuga dattebahi. . ." The Hyuga introduced.
Satsuki meanwhile deepened a glare as she activated her Mangekyō Sharingan once more. "Satsuki Uchiha dattebakon. . ."
"AND WE'RE NARUTO-KUN'S/NARU-KUN'S FUTURE WIVES!" They both proudly declared in unison as they let got of Naruto, making his soul return and began to gasp for breath again. But that was short lived as they took turns and kissed him on the lips in raw passion, leaving him breathless. . .again. . .
This made both older women drop their jaws in complete and total shock while the two perverts only look on in complete and totally envy at the display. Then all of a sudden the room was beginning to shake as if the earth itself was beginning to break in half. This made the perverts to shivered in terror as they turn to look at a beyond pissed Tsunade releasing a massive killing intent that all around the Land of Fire could feel. "Ji. .. rai. . .ya. . ." She began as with each syllable the killing intent was getting bigger and bigger.
Both Jiraiya and Kurama could only hold on to one another in pure terror that made them prefered to be with the Gai clones than be here right now. "Y-Yes. . .?" Jiraiya barely got out from the terror filled his entire soul.
"WHAT! DID! YOU! DO!?" Tsunade roared as she was beginning to accumulate an insane amount of chakra to her fists.
Seeing this Kurama made a break for it and stood right next to the exit. "HE DID IT! HE MADE THE KIT INTO A PERVERT LIKE HIM!" Kurama declared, while Jiraiya look at him with betrayal in his eyes. "Sorry brother. . .but you know that us perverts will do whatever it takes to keep our perverted dreams alive. . ." He thought and gave him a salute as he left the restaurant while Tsunade's rage to grow to god like proportions.
"SCREW YOU TRAITOR!" Jiraiya screamed as he knew what the salute meant and was then grabbed by the face and began to flail his arms in terror while she cock back her fist. "W-Wait Tsunade-hime! I-It's not what you think!" He implored with all of his soul, but it didn't matter, as Tsunade began to punch his face to the ground with thousands of thousands of super strength enhance punches and with each punch it began to break the floor, no scratch that. . .The earth below the restaurant began to break apart from the brutality, all the while Shizune looked on with terror and holding an equally terrified Tonton.
"FLAWLESS VICTORY. . .BRUTALITY. . ." Kurama stated in a deep voice as the words echoed mysteriously from the other side of the town, as he felt the earthquakes that the entire town were feeling and knowing exactly what was happening.
All the while this was happening Hinata and Satsuki taking turns at kissing Naruto passionately, completely oblivious to the world around them as Naruto started to get back to normal and returning the kisses with equal passion.
"Payback's a bitch Ero-Sennin. . ." The three thought in unison as that was the payback for those earlier nasty remarks he gave them before.
Shizune and Tonton meanwhile were watching the make out sessions as blushes appeared on their faces. "How did this happen? And both a Hyuga and a Uchiha? I thought the Uchiha Clan was completely massacred by Itachi Uchiha. . .And the last surviving members were both males." Shizune thought in slight confusion.
In a dark room where only darkness and little to no light were present a man was sitting in his chair. Then a small light shine enough to see that it was the Hokage office with the windows closed and the blinds were down.
"What is the next phase of your control Danzō-sama?" Sakura asked as she looked at the man sitting at the Hokage's desk.
Then the man turn and the light revealed to be Danzō, he in turn tapped him fingers in anticipation as he looked at his student. "The next phase will be. . .the weeding out. . ." He started. "Forcing the civilians under our control to fight one another. . .to determine their inner strength. . ." He explained without a single shred of emotion.
"What will that accomplish Danzō-sama?" Sakura then asked.
"Recruitment." Danzō answered. "ROOT shall bolster its forces by recruiting the strongest ones."
"And what about those that don't pass?" Sakura asked not really caring if they pass or not.
Danzō then deepened a glare. "Death. . .the strong shall live while the weak shall perish. . ." He stated. "One of the policies of the Obedience of Shadows. . .only those that are able survive any and all situations have the right to stay alive in my Ninja world. . ." He added without a care for those who would die.
"As you wish." Sakura responded. "Not that I care if they live or die, they are all worthlesssssss to in my eyesssss. . ." She added in her mind.
Danzō nodded to this. "Then go, order the civilians to attack. . .to kill. . .to survive. . ." He ordered without remorse. "The age of the Bloody Leaf will begin. . .and then give rise to the true Konoha. . ." He declared.
"'Bloody Leaf'? Like the Bloody Mist?" Sakura asked.
"Correct. . .While I would destroy them if given the chance. . .However, Kirigakure was correct on how to treat their Ninjas. . ." Danzō replied. "Emotionless. . .ruthless. . .silent. . .relentless. . .efficiently. . .and above all else, obedient. . .those are what all Ninja's are required to have. . ." He explained. "Those are more of the principles of the Obedience of Shadows. . ."
Sakura smiled behind her mask. "I completely agree. . .That way those mindless and useless civilians will be used for something useful, even if most will perished. . ." Sakura commented without a single care or sympathy for those who may died a horrible death.
"They'll be reborn into the shadows. . .to kill. . .or be killed. . .To bring about excruciating deaths to their fallen foes. . .or be the one to receive them. . .Ninjas must not doubt or give mercy to their foes." Danzō stated.
"They do not deserve mercy. . ." Sakura continued. "They deserve the most brutal and agonizing deaths brought upon themselves for those that fail to follow your rule Danzō-sama. . ." She obediently said. "Or if they get in my way. . ." She added in her mind.
"Now go. . .prepare for the fights to come. . .and for the bloodshed of the Bloody Leaf to begin. . ." Danzo ordered.
"Yes sir. . ." Sakura responded quickly as she melted into the floor, leaving her master to his duties.
Danzō then turn his chair again and slowly began to close his only eye as if he was returning to the darkness. "A new age will come. . .and no one will disrupt it. . ." He declared as his voiced echoed and everything return to darkness.
Back in the meeting room with the Clan Head and high rank Shinobi except for Asuma and Gai. . .
"Now we all know that Danzō is indeed responsible for this entire occurrence. . ." Hiashi stated to the Clan Heads after telling Ino leave and go rest up.
Inoichi nodded to this. "Indeed, looking into my daughter's memories confirms it." He agreed. "Everything does say that it was Danzō, however. . ." He began.
"However? What is is?" Hiashi asked.
"It's just that the shinobi who was with Danzō was not normal. . ." Inoichi stated.
"How is it that you find that shinobi to be abnormal?" Shiki asked.
"Well. . .to begin with, after finally analysing the effects of the genjutsu that is affecting the civilians, I have finally realized which one is." Inoichi started, this made all in the room turn their gazes towards him. "It's the Mind Influence Jutsu." He revealed.
"You know what the jutsu is!?" Tsume started. "So it was a Yamanaka that caused this!?" She demanded to the Yamanaka head.
Inoichi shook his head to this. "I am unsure. . ."
Before Tsume could shout again, Shibi asked first. "By the way you phrased it, I'm decline to believe that the jutsu may be from the Yamanaka clan, but you know something that conflicts on figuring out who is responsible." He deduced.
Inoichi nodded to this. "The reason for this is that since the creation of this jutsu, when it was first used we made this into a forbidden jutsu for it forces ideas and ideals in the minds of its victims and making them act as they are now. . ." He explained.
"Who was it that created it?" Shikaku asked.
"A very young and talented Yamanaka named Foo invented it when he was 18. . .before his forced recruitment into ROOT." Inoichi answered with disdain in the last part.
"So you're saying that it was this Foo that realized that jutsu then?" Hiashi asked.
Inoichi shook his head to this. "No, because as I saw my daughter's memories, the masked ninja that was with Danzō was very small in comparison to the grown up Foo." He told the Hyuga head.
"So? Couldn't he just been using a Henge to discussed himself?" Tsuma asked.
Once again, Inoichi shook his head in response. "Again no, because if it was true that he use a henge to disguised himself, then the memories in my daughter's brain would be distorted from her eyes seeing the transformation, but when I saw them they were completely stable." He explained.
"Meaning that the masked ninja is a very young ninja and couldn't possibly be this Foo guy, who invented the jutsu. . ." Shikaku deduced.
"Dammit. . .Danzō must've really trained this one to cause all of this shit. . ." Tsume commented.
"Do you know all of what this jutsu capabilities are? So that we can dispel it." Shiki asked.
"I'm afraid not. . .When Foo demonstrated it to us we immediately rank it as forbidden and told him to never speak or teach it to anyone. As it was clearly a inhumane jutsu and because of this we never analysed a way to dispel it or how it works for that matter as we didn't want anyone to learn and misuse it." Inoichi admitted with regret.
Hiashi nodded to this. "I see. . .this does indeed makes things more difficult. . ." He commented.
"Hell yeah it does!" Tsume growled out. "Most of the village's gone to shit because of a power crazed nutjob, while we're stuck in here and can't do squat about it cause we can't attack the civilians!"
"I didn't said that we couldn't do anything." Hiashi stated gaining everyone's attention.
"What do you mean?" Chōza asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What I meant was that a few of our young genins have gain a lot of very critical intel on the aspects of this jutsu." Hiashi stated. Some of the Clan heads nodded as their children had told them what they found out. "The first piece of information came from a few female civilian that Haku brought to me, he told me that these girls manage to somehow break free from their controlled." He began to elaborate, many Clan Heads didn't even want to say a word, but they did groaned in annoyance, as they still couldn't believe what Kurenai told them of how they manage to do so.
"HOW THE FUCKIN' HELL ARE FUCKIN' FANGIRLS WERE UNAFFECTED BY THIS FUCKIN' SHIT!?" Kiba roared out in the room where all the Konoha 11 members were staying in as he laid in his futon.
"As I said before Kiba. . ." Haku started as a vein appeared in his head. "They aren't unaffected, they merely found a way to free themselves from the effects of the genjutsu. By being. . .fangirls. . ." He said the last part with much embarrassment.
"It's still unbelievable though. . ." Tenten sighed out.
"But like I also said, that was just one factor the helped them. We still need to know how and why that was even possible as they haven't any knowledge at all of ninjutsu." Haku explained.
"Right," Shikamaru agreed. "The heads and high ranking shinobi should be figuring out a way to get us all out of this situation. . .though it's still incredibly troublesome. . ."
"Can you guys be quiet? I'm trying to sleep after my dad looked into my head." Ino asked as she laid in her bed with her covers covering her head. Just below the covers Ino was infact still thinking about the masked ninja. "Was it the right thing to do when I block those thoughts I had when dad looked inside my head. . ." She thought to herself as she remembered that just before her dad was about to look inside of her head, she block the epiphany of who could possibly had been.
"Anyway. . ." Hiashi started, noticing they were getting off topic "When the Library owner explained to us what was going on before and after the jutsu affect. She told us that she couldn't remember much during her control, but she did felt that after she left the market district her conscious was slowly returning to her. Also Gai reported that my nephew told him that he notice that the location where his team was sent to rescue those that were hiding wasn't affected by the genjutsu as it was located in a remote area of the village." He continued.
"So with this information we can conclude that the jutsu has a limited range, it is also being used in populated area to gain control of the populous as possible and with the correct. . .stimulus those in affected may be set free." Shiki deduced.
"Possibly. . ." Shikaku started. "However, remember that the cause is a person and that they can move freely, changing where the affected area can be. . ."
Tsume nodded. "Yeah, the bastard could just be going through the entire village and messing with more heads to worship that bastard. . ." She growled out.
"But that won't last long." Inoichi stated as anger filled his eyes. "Now with this information I can clearly see that to one who cast it may be gifted, but also very inexperience, so he or she may not realized that the jutsu needs to constantly replenishing the jutsu with more chakra or it will lost its effect leaving us a window for us to take action. So I proposed that we first try and separate the civilians from the range of the Mind Influence field, after that we may incapacitate them, this also will allow us to send guards to the most populated areas in case if the caster does comes back to try to recast the jutsu, we will be able to capture him or her." He proposed. "No one will tarnish the Yamanaka clan with this inhumane jutsu. . ." He thought with fury and anger.
Back at the restaurant, where the group had to change their seats as the one they were at was completely destroyed and Tsunade forced Jiraiya to pay for the damages.
"Alright, can you tell what that suffocating bit from before was about!?" Naruto exclaimed after the rapid make out sessions with both Hinata and Satsuki.
"I thought you were dead. . ." Tsunade stated as sadness filled her eyes. "I mean, I just found out that my own godson was still alive and health at that. . ." She then deepened a glare towards the beaten face of Jiraiya. "Though if he's a pervert for having two girls-"
"THEY CHOSE HIM!" The beaten Jiraiya roared back in innocence. "TELL HER!" He shouted at the girls to prove his innocence.
Although Satsuki was tempted to say "no", but she and Hinata would never negate that to anyone. "It's true." She simply responded. "Me and Nata-chan both love Naru-kun here and-"
"WAIT WHAT WAS THAT BEFORE!? YOU'RE MY GODMOTHER!?" Naruto exclaimed in shock interrupting Satsuki and she pouted cutely in annoyance.
Tsunade sighed once more to this. "That's right Naruto, I'm your godmother. . .I was told that you had died during the Kyūbi attack and it left me in a depression." She explained.
"Who told you that Tsunade-sama?" Hinata asked as he petted Satsuki's head to calm her down. "You know that family is a very important thing to Naruto-kun, Satsuki-chan." She told her via mental link.
Satsuki internally sigh. "I know. . .but he's still going to get it." She replied via mental link with mischief and lust in her tone as she licked her lips. "That. . .and we're his family too now. . ." She added with a kind and happy smile on her face.
"I know. . ." Hinata replied as she too smiled happily. "It's not just cause we have Kurama's chakra in us as well. . .and not the fact at what we did with him before. . ." She told her as they both then blushed at remembering those nights. "It's because we both love him as he loves the both of us. . .and that love is real. . ." She ended as Satsuki nodded in response.
". . .That old fart Danzō told me. . .why?" Tsunade honestly answered and asked the question.
There was a grave silence as killing intent was filling the room again at the mention of the ROOT leader until. . . "THAT ASSHOLE AGAIN!?" Satsuki exploded, her appearance was turning savage with fury. "HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OF OUR TORMENT!"
"FUCKING HELL! REALLY!?" Naruto roared. "THAT'S JUST GREAT! FIRST ORDERING SATSUKI-CHAN'S OLDER BROTHER TO MURDER HER CLAN AND NOW LEARNING THIS?! OOOHOHO HE IS SO GONNA GET IT NOW DATTEBAYO!"
"He is beyond forgiveness or salvation. . .He must pay for all of those he has made suffered for his actions. . ." Hinata calmly stated as a cold fury filled her being.
Shizune meanwhile raised an eyebrow to the comments the three made. "I don't understand what you mean. . .we all know that Danzō is tricky piece, but what has he done to you three?" She then looked at Naruto. "And what did you mean 'ordering Satsuki's older brother to murder her clan'?" She asked.
Before Naruto could answer, Satsuki slammed a hand on the table as she looked at Shizune straight in the eyes. "It's as Naru-kun said, that bastard Danzō ordered Itachi-niisan to massacre the entire Uchiha Clan. . ." She growled out in anger. "He basically ordered a massacre just to get rid of a power in Konoha that he considered a threat and when a possible resolution for a peaceful ending the conflict appeared he made sure to get rid of that too. . ." She added as she thought of Shisui, she may not like the way he was attempting to stop both coup d'etat and the massacre, but it was still a peaceful manner that may had save most if not all of the Uchiha Clan had it not been for Danzō.
"And now we have the threat of Danzō taking over the entire village!" Naruto exclaimed in anger. "He somehow got everyone brainwashed to worship him like if he was Kami!" He added as the mere thought of Danzō being worshiped after all of the pain and agony he had cause to not just him, but to all of those he cared about made his blood boiled.
Shizune's eyes widen as she then looked towards her master. "Tsunade-sama!" She said to her.
"So he decided to finally make a move. . ." Tsunade stated. "The bastard. . .it took him this long. . ." She thought to herself. Then she began to think of her past, her love ones, her lost, her pain after looking at all of those memories she look straight at Naruto's face, whose eyes were filled with nothing but strength yet also full of love and kindness. "How you look just like those two. . ." She thought as something began to filled her being, something that she had long since gave up on. . .hope.
"Hello? Didn't you hear me!?" Naruto exclaimed in annoyance as he slap his two hands on the table.
"So you think your that tough, huh?" Tsunade started. "Then how about a little bet then? This applies for all three of you." She stated, referring to all three members of Team Seven. "Tell me, what's the most recent jutsu that your learning?" She asked. "And knowing that old pervert I think I know which one he taught to him. . ." She thought in her mind.
"My dad's jutsu, the Rasengan!" Naruto declared with passion and pride.
"We've already completed two of the steps!" Satsuki stated proudly.
"And now we're on the last one!" Hinata finalized.
Tsunade and Shizune face-faulted to this. Tsunade was the first to recovered. "I somehow knew that the pervert would teach you the Rasengan, for obvious reasons. . ." She began as said pervert was hit by an arrow with the word pervert.
"Oh! Tsunade-hime how your words hurt me so! More so than even your fist!" Jiraiya stated as he was holding his still battered body.
"But to all three of you?" Tsunade asked in slight shocked as he looked at the girls, while completely ignoring the wrecked Jiraiya, much to his dismay. "And Jiraiya allowed you two to learn it? I'm not saying that it's was a bad thing to do, it's just I thought it would had been a family jutsu kind of thing." She explained.
"Well. . .since we are engaged to Naru-kun," Satsuki started. "I'm happy to learn another jutsu like Kakashi-sensei's Chidori!" She cheerfully declared as she clung onto Naruto's arm.
"That's another thing," Shizune started. "How in the world did that happen exactly? I mean, you three are only twelve years old." She asked as she wasn't really comfortable with three twelve years olds being engage. "Was it. . .the council?" She then deducted.
"Nope! We decided that!" The trio declared in unison. "And we already consummated. . ." They all thought with blushes on their face.
And as if they could read their thoughts, the two older women turn with murder in their eyes at Jiraiya.
"Kurama did it. . ." Jiraiya quickly replied without missing a beat. "And part of it is caused by Orochimaru trying to put curse marks on those two girls. . .I had nothing to do with this." He explained.
Before Tsunade could give another massive brutality. "That's right! Kurama may had save us from being branded by that pedophile, but we chose to be together!" Satsuki told the older women with a dead serious expression that shows that she was telling the truth as Hinata gave a nod with an equally serious stare.
They may had save Jiraiya with that explanation, but Jiraiya knew with was mostly for them being passionate to declared that to anyone that would think that someone force them to be together. "Eh! If it saves me from another beatdown, I'll take it!" Jiraiya thought to himself.
Tsunade twitched at the mention of Orochimaru after what she recently went through with him. "I. . .I see. . ." She then noticed that they were getting off track. "Anyway, for the bet, since you three have been learning the Rasengan, I'll give you one week. If you succeed, I'll come back with you to the village and challenge Danzō for that useless position. . .however. . ." She then started as she wasn't all the enthusiasm for the position, which had not left a good impression on Naruto. "If you don't succeed, Naruto has to come with me on the road." She added.
"WHAT!?" The trio shouted, but more so the girls.
"Oi, Tsunade!" Jiraiya exclaimed as he was just as shocked as the genin and was not expecting this predicament. "You can't just asked something like that!" He declared.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune exclaimed as well.
"And why not?" Tsunade began, silencing the five of them. "He is my godson, though I may not known he was alive until now, but now that I do, I will take him from that hell you had led him lived in. . .consequences be damn. . ." She declared with a dead serious expression that Jiraiya knew nothing would change her mind.
"Like hell we'd let that go through!" Satsuki roared out. "Your the one who fell for the bastard's lie in the first place!"
Tsunade scoffed in response. "Yes I did, but now I want to make up for it by raising my godson," She stated as she then looked at Naruto. "And besides, why would you even want to stay in Konoha for what it's done for you thanks to your status as a jinchūriki?"
Naruto looked back at Tsunade straight in the eyes with as much seriousness yet they were filled with conviction that came from his heart and soul. "That's because. . .I have a goal back home to achieve. . . To be Hokage, that is my dream!" He declared with passion.
Tsunade's eyes widen again to this statement as two more silhouettes appeared behind Naruto.
"To be Hokage, that is my dream!" Two voice's appeared inside of Tsunade's mind.
"Again. . ." Tsunade got out as she took another shot to clarify it. "Dan. . .Nawaki. . ." She thought. Gulping and with some effort, she looked at Naruto in the eyes again. "Alright, here's another addition for if you win." She then pointed towards the necklace around her neck. "If you're able to complete the Rasengan, I'll also give this as a reward." She declared as she pointing towards her chest.
This got Naruto blush atomic red. "H-HUH!?" He shouted in shocked.
"OH HELL NO!" Satsuki roared in her mind. "HE'S OURS!" She screamed while grating her teeth, while Hinata's eyes glowed even more sinisterly and her face turn black and only her wide smile and lavender eyes could be seen.
"TAKE THE DEAL! I'LL TAKE THE BOOBIES!" Kurama declared as he raised a hand to the air. No sooner he said that his face was meet with a fist with beamed like strength that sent him flying to the other side of the town. "I REGRET NOTHING!" He shouted as he crashed to the ground and began to twitch. "Why. . .does it feel like this won't be the last time something like this will happen. . ." He thought.
Jiraiya meanwhile actually knew what Tsunade meant along with Shizune. "She's betting the necklace?" They both thought in unison, Jiraiya being calm about while Shizune was shocked by this declaration.
Then Tsunade smacked Naruto's head. "I meant my necklace you perverted brats!" She roared to all three of the.
Satsuki and Hinata calmed down to that, but they were still mad for the smack she gave Naruto. "And what's make you think that the necklace added to this bet would make me change my mind at all?" Naruto complained as he rub his head.
"Yeah! No matter how fancy that stone looks, it's not gonna change a thing!" Satsuki agreed, still upset with how Naruto blushed by looking at Tsunade's chest. "That's it, we're giving his a special show afterwards!" She decided in her mind.
Hinata on the other hand, she looked at the stone with critical eyes. "There's something strange about that stone. . ." She thought to herself.
Kurama then blinked a couple of times before take a whiff of the necklace, before he then groaned in annoyance. "Dammit. . .it's his necklace!" He growled out. "No wonder that hit hurts more than it should had. . ." He stated as he rub his very swollen cheek and headed back to the restaurant..
Jiraiya sighed and turned to the trio. "I won't say that Naruto." He began gaining his and the girls attention. "That's a unique crystal which could buy about three mountains if you sold it." He explained, this caused Hinata to look at him in shocked, while both Naruto and Satsuki turn to look greedy at the crystal. "It used to belong to the First Hokage." He added.
"That and it's a frickin' pain in the ass stone that can control my chakra and will prevent jinchūrikis to not go on a rampage. . ." Kurama grumbled out as he entered the restaurant and sat down next to the trio. "Just my fuckin' luck. . ." He thought with some disdain.
Satsuki's eyes widen to that at she looked at the stone. "The First Hokage's Necklace? Wow!"
"Never thought I would hear an Uchiha praise Grandfather. . ." Tsunade muttered in disbelief as she watched the girl admiring her necklace.
Satsuki just shrugged. "I already made clear that I don't believe in my clan ideals when I blow up the Uchiha District." She answered without a care in the world.
Shizune faltered slightly to that. "You. . .blew up the Uchiha District?" She asked in disbelief.
Satsuki nodded happily to that. "And I'm proud of it dattebakon!" She declared. "Thought I still couldn't break that stupid stone table. . ." She added quietly, then she pull Naruto and Hinata in a tight hug and placing their faces on her breast, making Naruto get a massive nosebleed and Hinata turn scarlet red. "If anything, I only care of our clan now!" She slyly got out with feline-like purr as she nibbled on Naruto's earlobe and secretly rubbing Hinata's butt.
"Yup! I love that Uchiha!" Kurama declared with his nose running blood out like a faucet.
"THIS IS GOLD!" Jiraiya shouted as he was laughing perversely and writing every little detail that was happening.
Well. . .it was a given that Tsunade looked on in shocked, while Shizune blushed dark red by the inappropriate actions of the female Uchiha. While Tsunade punched both perverts, sending them to the edge of the town. . .again, all the while crushing the notes Jiraiya had just written. "No way I'm letting that pervert use those girls for his perverted books." She thought in anger.
"Oh. . .oh my. . ." Shizune got out, her face still dark red at the sight, not knowing what to think, let alone what to say.
"So. . .do we have a bet then?" Tsunade asked after regaining her composure.
"I want to learn more about about Hashirama-sama, so yeah!" Satsuki exclaimed happily. "That and it would look good on Naru-kun!" She added as she and Hinata imagine how attractive a shirtless Naruto would look with the necklace around his neck and both blushed.
"You really have no shame do you?" Tsunade asked with a sweatdrop.
"After disguising myself as a boy for years since the Massacre, I could give a damn about shame! I'm a woman and Bi! I'll act like this only to Naru-kun and Nata-chan, no one else!" Satsuki responded in a serious tone and pushed her two mates of hers deeper in her breasts, making the two older woman face fault in the process of her declaration. "Also, that bastard Danzō needs to pay for what he's done! So like it or not we need you for stopping him." She added with an even more serious tone.
This made Tsunade to look at the Uchiha Heiress in a different light. "Never thought I would've ever hear an Uchiha to say something like that. . .for both statement. . ." She thought to herself.
Satsuki then gave off a foxy grin. "And after that! When our Naru-kun get's strong enough to be Hokage and our husband, you can leave and act your age!" She quickly added. "Obaa-chan. . ." She said in a taunting tone as her grin never lost its strength.
To this, a huge vein appeared on Tsunade's face, while Shizune and Tonton hugged each other in fear as tears ran down their eyes. "It's that so. . .gaki. . ." Tsunade stated as she stood up.
Not backing down from a challenge, Satsuki stood up and let the two nearly fainted mates, one from blood lost down and pressed her own chest against hers, still having the smirk her face. "That's right. . .Obaa-chan. . ." She said with confidence. "So. bring. it. on." She declared while activating her Sharingan. "There's no way I'm gonna lose dattebakon!"
The last females of the Senju and Uchiha looked at each other with feminine fury as sparks clashed from their eyes and a fire covered the two of them.
"Quick!" Jiraiya shouted as he got out of the hole he was buried in. "We need to get back there!" He declared in anticipation.
"Why? We're just gonna get beaten up and sent flying again." Kurama asked as he got out of a boulder his head was stuck in and was feeling very weak from being near the necklace.
"BECAUSE MY PERV SENSES ARE FEELING HUGE BOOB AND BOOB ACTION!" Jiraiya roared and started running back to the restaurant.
"SAY WHAT!?" Kurama roared back his strength full returned and also ran back. "I AIN'T MISSIN' THAT FOR THE WORLD! I LOVE THAT UCHIHA!"
Just outside the hospital walls, we find Asuma and Gai still fighting the main ROOT shinobis that were there to assassinate the Third Hokage.
"Wind Style: Air Encagement Jutsu!" Asuma declared as sent out a high pressure burst of wind, forcing the masked shinobis into the air and preventing them from returning to the ground. "And now. . .Wind Style: Dust Storm Jutsu!" He added as he sent a stream of high-velocity wind containing dust particles to the masked shinobis, then with a grin of his teeth a spark. "Fire Style: Burning Ash!" He declared as he inlight the dust particles with gunpowder and created a huge explosion, eradicating them the assassins.
"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" Gai roared as he did his signature jump kick to one ROOT shinobi, instantly snapping his neck and send him crashing to another ROOT member. Then moving fast many ROOT members charged at Gai with blades in hand. Thinking quickly, Gai concentrated his chakra. "Gate of Life, open!" He declared and his skin turn red. Now with new strength, he started moving twice as fast as he punched and kicked the assassins with power and speed that some of the attacks blow holes in their bodies.
"There's still no end to them!" Asuma muttered. "Gai, I'll go get the old man, you get Kakashi! We'll meet back at the Hyuga Compound!" He ordered.
"Right!" Gai replied as he took out two more ROOTs with a single kick. "I'll find Kakashi and will make a youthfully escape back to the Compound!" He then charged straight through multiple ROOT agents and sending them flying to walls, trees, stones and to a small lake near the hospital, leaving a trail of fire behind him. "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTH!"
Asuma sigh to this. "Kakashi. . .I never knew you always had to deal with this insanity almost every time you meet up with Gai. . ." He said as he went to the hospital to get his father, while disposing any and all ROOT agents in his way. "Hold on old man. . ." He thought to himself.
"We shall not let you get in the way. . ." All the ROOT agents stated in perfect and emotionless unison, taking out their tantos before charging at Asuma.
"You guys just don't know when to give up." Asuma got out in annoyance as he prepared himself for another assault. His eyes then briefly looked out the window as clouds started to form as thunder and lightning started to appear in the sky "Now what?" He groaned out as he punched a ROOT member, he kicked another in the chest, sending them flying, while he was in meet air, another ROOT tried to cut off his head with his blade only to miss by an inch. He then got into a boxing stance as he rushed in dodged some more strikes before sending out a flurry of punches at more oncoming ROOT members. "I'll worry about it later, come on!" He ordered as more kept coming.
Parts of the hospital started to get destroyed as Gai rushed through the ROOT agents and them being impaled on the wall of the hospital. "I can't be stopped! I am Konoha's Sublime Green Beast of Prey!" He declared while giving his signature smile and gave a thumbs up, all the while he kept running.
"Destroy intruders. . .Danzō-sama's rule is now law. . ." The ROOT agents said as they charged at the man, unphased by what was said and didn't care for their own lives, they only care was to fulfilled Danzō's wishes, even if it cost them their lives in the process.
Gai frown at that. "Be free in the afterlife you poor weary soul as I lead you there! The Gate of Closing, open!" He declared as he went faster than ever, blazing past all of them and leaving them on fire as he soon made it to the room where Kakashi was in. "HERE I COME KAKASHI!" He roared as he ripped the door off the hinges. He then looked inside to see the comatose Kakashi before he began to think. "Now how to get him to safety as quick as possible and for me to still be able to run with my speed intact." He said as he put his hand on his jaw before a light bulb appeared over his head. "That's it!" He declared as he grabbed Kakashi and threw him into the air and he landed on Gai's back, Gai now piggybacking Kakashi just as he heard the sounds of rushing feet of more ROOT agents. "PERFECT! NOW TO GET OUT OF HERE!" He declared as he ran at full speed while the upper part of Kakashi's body when backwards and he moved around like a ragdoll.
That night, Satsuki and Hinata were in the hotel room while Naruto and Shizune went to get some food, deciding to eat for the night and then start practicing to perfect the Rasengan tomorrow while Jiraiya and Tsunade went out to catch up with Kurama following them.
"Man!" Satsuki started in annoyance as she laid her back against the bed while wearing her usual sleepwear, her black see-through nightgown that showed off her bra and panties. "Sannin, Senju or not, she really pissed me off! How dare she get Naru-kun to feel her girls! I bet her's are already saggy compare to our bouncy ones dattebakon!" She complained as she started to stare her own girls. "Just you wait! Ours will eventually make any man. . .No, screw any other man. . .We'll make Naru-kun only be obsessed with our girls and won't ever want to stop groping them!" She added with female pride and a fire in her eyes.
Hinata meanwhile couldn't help but giggle at how Satsuki was acting compared to when they first met. "You've really changed Satsuki-chan." She stated as she finished putting on her sleepwear as well, her lavender pajamas with some of the buttons opened. "You would never make declarations like that in the past." She revealed as she gave her a kind and loving smile.
This got Satsuki to stop her declarations of war on Tsunade's girls as she looked at Hinata after sitting up. "You think so?" She stated as she began to think about herself. "After everything I've learned so far. . .and everything we've been through so far. . .I haven't noticed it really. . ." She said absentmindedly.
Hinata giggled some more to Satsuki's antics. "Well. . .I like the new you." She stated, as her smile never losing her love for her fellow fiance. "You used to be so scared of being yourself, of being a woman. And don't get me started when you pretended to be Sasuke Uchiha." She added with a teasing tone.
Satsuki pouted in response to this. "Please don't mention that stupid name to me again. I admit that I thought up of the name after Jiji's father Sasuke Sarutobi to honor him in a way, but it became really annoying hearing girls go 'Sasuke-kuuuuuuun!' All the damn time! Especially from Haruno!" She roared as she pulled her hair from just remembering those horrible memories. "And now that I think about it, I hated binding my chest! It! Was! Painful! Can you even imagine having this babies bind so tight that I thought they would withered away from the lack of blood circulations!" She declared as she rub her breast as if they were sore.
Hinata giggled even more to that. "Well, I guess you're lucky that it didn't happen Satsuki-chan." She said in a teasing tone as she looked down at her own impressive, yet still developing breasts and gave them a few squeezes. "I still have a ways to go before I can compare myself to you. . ." She muttered to herself, she was too distracted that she didn't see two hands coming from behind her. "Eep!" She got out as she felt her breast being groped.
"You know Nata-chan," A seductive voice whispered. "They say that if a friend rubs your breasts, it'll help the person's breasts grow to the same size as your friend's!" Satsuki declared as she began to gently massage Hinata's breast.
"Ah~" Hinata got out as she felt a jolt. Then with a huge blush on her face she jumped forward separating her from giggling Satsuki. "Satsuki-chan!" She shouted in annoyance as she then looked at the Uchiha while tapping her foot.
"Sorry! Sorry! I justed to help you become bigger!" Satsuki stated as she was still giggling and held her own chest in her hands and made them bounce a little. "Bigger ones are better to hold in your hands!" She added.
"Bigger ones. . .hold in your hands. . ." Hinata repeated as she went into a thinking pose at the mention of the words. Then she remember the moment Naruto tried to make a Rasengan by himself without a balloon. It may had only lasted a few seconds but she remembered that he manage to somewhat contain both steps in the big unstable Rasengan before it exploded. "That's it!" She shouted in realization.
Satsuki stopped playing with her chest, but didn't separated herself from her and look at her. "What's it?" She asked.
Hinata smiled brightly. "I think you and Naruto-kun help me came up with a way to make learning the last step!" She declared happily.
"Yes! Remember when Naruto made that really big Rasengan?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, it was really big and really unstable." Satsuki answered with a nod and got very close to Hinata's face. "What about it?"
"Well. . .It was really hard for all three of us to make the final product as to make a perfect Rasengan the size of ball like Ero-Sennin showed us requires a very high levels of chakra control, something we do not have at them moment." Hinata began to explained not bother by the closeness from Satsuki. "The reason for this is because we don't have any at all experience with compressing our chakra. So when I saw Naruto-kun made that big Rasengan, he manage to keep it somewhat stable and only when he tried to compress the Rasengan to a smaller size it ended up exploding. That made me to think that if we tried to make a bigger Rasengan, we can learn how to compress chakra all the while perfecting the Rasengan!" She finished excitedly
"That's amazing Nata-chan! You came up with an awesome training method that I doubt that Ero-Sennin or even the Fourth thought off!" Satsuki exclaimed very excitedly, as she then gently grope Hinata's breast.
Hinata smiled from the praise as she then just noticed that Satsuki was still holding her own chest, causing her to blush. "Um. . .Satsuki-chan. . .you're still. . .you know. . ."
Satsuki smirk at that. "Well. . .I know that Naru-kun gave you the means to come up with that awesome idea, but. . .you really just want Naru-kun to do that to you. . .compressing you like that. . ." She added with a seductive tone as she licked her lips. Then she began to laugh loudly at seeing Hinata's scarlet face. "You're so hot yet so cute at times Nata-chan! Your definitely my best friend!"
Hinata pouted at Satsuki's teasing, but she then smiled at her declaration. "Yes. . .and you're my best friend too. . ." She replied with a love filled smile as she countered her walking over to her in a seductive manner. As she reach her, she grabbed her face and kissed her passionately. "And so much. . .more. . ." She stated via mental link, not wanting to separate from her for even a second.
Satsuki's eyes widened at the kiss from the Hyuga Heiress as she fell back on the bed with Hinata sitting on top of her looking at her with lust filled eyes, the buttons on her pajamas somehow getting undone. "Oh my. . .Nata-chan. . .You changed too."
Hinata then leaned in closer as she then went to Satsuki's ear. "I learned from the best, Suki-chan. . ." She whispered in the same seductive manner before nibbling on her ear. "The best that there is. . ."
Just as things were getting really intense, the door opened. Both girls gave off a gasp of surprise and turn around and saw who it was. "I'm ba-" Naruto barely got out before he then walked in on what was happening.
". . ."
There was a long paused as Naruto watched his two beautiful nearly naked mates and in a very provocative position, a dark red blush was slowly began to appear on his face. "Sweet love of all things Kami. . .thank kami the pervert duo isn't here. . ." He quickly thought.
"Hi Naru-kun! Wanna join in?" Satsuki happily asked. "It was just getting good!"
The results were automatic as a rocket powered nosebleed came from his nose knocking him unconscious.
Satsuki and Hinata giggled at the display, but deep down, they felt a sense of female pride for making their man react like that and barely doing anything. "But. . .I was serious. . ." Satsuki declared as she and Hinata stood up and grabbed Naruto's legs and pulled him in while locking the door behind.
"We can still cuddle him Satsuki-chan." Hinata suggested.
"Yeah! After all, making love was one thing, but sex should be done later on. . .I mean. . .we were just happy about the engagement at the time. . .but we are still twelve after all. . ." Satsuki remembered as she looked up to the sky and glared at it. (Actually looking to the perverted viewers with a glare that basically said, Shut the hell up about it already!) "But. . .that's not stopping us from teasing Naru-kun for years and making sure he knows that it will be worth the wait." She added with a giggle and then she licked her lips as she said the last part.
Hinata nodded in agreement as she and Satsuki gently placed Naruto on the bed, taking his clothes off, fighting off a blush as they got his own pajamas on before they themselves laid their heads against his chest.
Both girls took a deep breath and slowly started to close their eyes as they felt the warmth coming from Naruto's body making them feel safe and above all. . .loved.
Back at the dark room where Sakura and Danzō were located.
"I am prepared to begin the jutsu command Danzō-sama. . ." Sakura reported as she bowed in front of her master in the dim lighted Hokage's office as the moonlight also shined in. "Everything is going according to plan save for the fool Might Gai retrieving Kakashi Hatake. . ." She added.
Danzō nodded to this, satisfied with everything that was happening so far this week. "Excellent. You will activate the jutsu two days from now. Replenish your chakra so you will be able to be successful with this part of your duties under me."
Sakura was relentant against it, but she knew not to disobey him. "I understand Danzō-sama. . .I will rest for the time given to me at the ROOT headquarters and return two days from now. . ." She said as she then left the room.
"Finally. . .That jutssssssu wassssssss a pain to my chakra reservesssssss. . ." She complained in her mind. After her bonding with the curse seal, Sakura's chakra reserves had increased three folds to what she previously had, all the while still keeping her nearly perfect chakra controlled. Though she may not have a much chakra as season Jonin, she did not had a the reserves of a rookie Jonin, so that with her excellent controlled and her brilliant mind made her very powerful. "I'm awesome." She praised herself proudly as she headed back to the ROOT base. "But I want more. . ." She added with vile smile of greed. "The power that will continue to help Danzō-sama to achieve his wishes. . .and mine. . ." She added as her eyes glowed yellowish-green for a moment as she walked casually out of the Hokage mansion.
As Sakura was walking at a slow paced to the ROOT Base. Many of the crazed civilians began to looked at her with admiration and fanaticism.
"It's the prime one!"
"The true shinobi!"
"What we should strive to be!"
"I wanna be like that ROOT member!"
Sakura couldn't help but to smile with smugness in her eyes as she stood still and raised her arms as if she was being bath in all of the praises. She could had just went to the ROOT Base via roof or in the shadows, but she purposely walked through there so that she could reserved praises as she felt she always deserved them. "This is what I always deserve to be praised for. . .my power. . ." She boasted to herself with no little amount of arrogance and pride.
"So cool!"
"And at such a young age!"
"We are unworthy!"
With having her pride and ego satisfied, she disappeared into the ground to the ROOT Base, all the while smirking under her mask.
"So, that was the shinobi you saw?" Fū asked from within the shadows, lucky that said shinobi didn't notice her or her accomplice as Sakura was so got up in self boasting pride that she never realized that Fū and Ino were watching her the whole time.
"Yeah. . ." Ino replied as her mind could still feel that the masked shinobi's mannerisms were very familiar to her. When the shinobi stood there and let the praises of the crazed civilians were giving made it feel like a déjà vu kind of feeling as if she had seen them before. "I feel like I know that shinobi. . .but I can't figure out from where. . ." She muttered out. "No doubt about it. . .it is her. . ." She thought, though she wanted to deny the truth behind it.
"We better get back to surveillance and then report this in. . .now we know that the shinobi that caused this loves to bask in praise. . .what an arrogant bastard. . ." Fū muttered while growling out the last part.
"Y-Yeah. . ." Ino got out in response, her voice sounding slightly depress. "We should. . ." She added and the left but not before Ino turning around and seeing where the mask shinobi was before leaving. "Why. . .why did you do this. . ." The thought lingered in the back of her mind and joining Fū heading back to the Hyuga Compound for the night.
In a new bar with the two Sannin members, the assistant of one of them and a disguised Tailed Beast.
"I still can't get over the fact that Naruto-kun was alive all this time. . ." Shizune admitted still shocked at this revelation, but she was still excited that he was alive.
Tsunade nodded in agreement. "Indeed. . .this entire time I was duped by Danzō into thinking he was dead. . ." Her eye then twitched a little in annoyance. "Or the fact that he has two wives now. . ." She added in a disapproving tone and looked at Kurama.
"Hey, they made their choice," Kurama answered offhandedly as he guzzled down a shot of sake. "Risk their minds getting fucked up by that other teammate of yours or become pseudo-jinchūrikis. . ." He then gave off a perverted but hidden smirk as he witnessed what the three just went through together. "Best idea ever!" he exclaimed in his head.
Jiraiya nodded sagely to this. "He's right, you rather have had an Uchiha and a Hyuga become one of Orochimaru's obedient little puppets for his experimentation or face a fate worse than death? So I can say that I own this fellow perv a huge debt." He stated being serious for once.
Tsunade simple sigh with annoyance. "I guess. . .but are you sure the Uchiha didn't just accept for more power? You know how the Uchiha were. . ." She asked as she narrowed her eyes, she may not have anything against Satsuki, but she knew how Uchihas were before, so the dought of her intentions filled her mind.
Jiraiya and Kurama looked at her for a few moments with a serious expressions. This made Shizune feel uncomfortable by the intense atmosphere and just as she was about to say something to lighten the mood, she was interrupted.
The two then started to laugh at this assumption. "BWAHAHAHA!" They roared in dying laughter that made Tsunade and Shizune to look at the two perverts as if they lost their minds.
"What's so funny?" Tsunade asked.
Jiraiya soon calmed down enough to speak properly. "Trust me when I say that if there's one thing she wants isn't Kurama's power," He began.
"What the Uchiha wants what's in his pants!" Kurama finished as the two continued laughing.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes further to this. "So she's a sex crazed fiend. . ." She got out with an eye twitch. "So instead you corrupted a little girl to act the way she does. . ."
"Oh no! She was like that before I did anything!" Kurama replied as he still was laughing. "She and the kit were basically childhood friends, but forgot about each other after a couple of years, so she already had those feelings for him, only when he found out that 'Sasuke' was a she and swear that he would protect her and secret, that pretty much sealed those two together." He added after calming down and drinking another shot of liquor. "Got to say, the kit sure knows when to act like a man when it counts, that's probably why she so attach in every sense of the word."
Shizune then raised an eye in confusion to this. "Why was she pretending to be a boy? What reason would she have to falsify her identity?" She asked as she didn't see the reason to for a girl to do that, especially when she had gotten the news that the only living Uchiha that were left were Itachi and his brother.
With those questions brought the laughter to a halt. Kurama sigh and rub the back of his head. "Well. . .how would you feel if you were the last of clan and happens to be a girl?" He replied with a no nonsense tone as he took another shot.
"CRA. . ." Jiraiya simple stated as his voice was also had a no nonsense tone. "Which is exactly a reason why she's traveling with us. . .to get stronger and to avoid contact with Danzō and those two old fossils. . ."
Shizune paled at the mention of the three words as Tsunade however. . .
CRASH!
She ended up punching a hole through a table and left a massive hole to the ground. Tsunade was completely livid with anger. This made Jiraiya sigh and gave a check to the owners to pay the damages. . .again. "So that's the reason. . .and I assumed while she was disguised as Sasuke, she acted like the complete opposite of herself?" She asked with her voice was filled with boiling anger.
"Hit the nail on the head," Kurama responded, not even phased by Tsunade's actions. "She was living in complete fear when heard about what the CRA would do to her as she said they would 'make her into a baby making vending machine'. . ." He explained in a serious tone. "While only her clan and some people knew that she was a girl and that they knew that she liked to act like a boy to fool people and to let her have fun fooling people, this made everyone outside of her clan to believed that 'Sasuke' was a really boy and then she had to deal with fangirls that wanted to get into 'his' pants. So you should actually be thanking the kit for the girl's new found confidence in regaining her womanhood after living as a man for all those years and her completely opposite personality behavior an Uchiha would have towards you. . . Senju. . ." He finalized. "That and she's actually loyal to Konoha. . ." He added that last bit in a mutter.
Shizune couldn't help but feel sad for the painful and terrifying past Satsuki had to endure caused of the corrupted CRA. "That poor girl. . ." She got out as she hugged Tonton and said pig 'oink' in a sad tone.
Jiraiya nodded in agreement. "What she didn't know however was that Sarutobi-sensei and some of the Jonins of the village actually knew about her 'secret' and decided to let her keep at it until they could find a way to make it so she didn't have to go through the CRA. . ."
"And that's when she met Naruto-kun?" Shizune asked.
This made Kurama laugh even harder than before as he remember their first encounter. "Kit accidentally destroyed the poor girl's top with a wind style jutsu and letting her girls get some fresh air from her binds around her chest. That was when he still thought she was a 'he', before quickly giving his jacket to her. . .Ah! Good times. . ." He revealed as he chuckled at the kindness Naruto had for the poor girl.
Tsunade was both touch and baffled by that. She was really touch be the kindness and maturity Naruto displayed for the girl and was baffled by the situation of how she was discovered. "I don't know whether to feel proud or disturbed by the crazy way for those two to had meet. . ." She got out as Shizune nodded in agreement.
Kurama laughed out loud to this. "And don't get me started on Satsuki's love confession to the kit! She thought he was so nice to him at the time that she fell for him instantly and did her first attempt at seducing him! And it work when she wore that orange and black bikini while laying on her side to give him a full view of her surprisingly developed body!"
This made both woman to having their jaws drop at what the girl did to confess that she liked someone. Jiraiya on the other hand. . .was busy chuckling perversely as he was writing everything Kurama said. "THIS IS PURE PLATINUM GOLD WITH DIAMONDS DECORATIONS! AN ENCOUNTER LIKE THAT WILL MAKE A GREAT STORY!" He declared with his nose leaking blood like a faucet. It was short live as Tsunade punch him with her behemoth strength again, though this time he wasn't sent flying, this time he was hit on his lower regions and then went to ripping his notes to shreds. . . again and he was whimpering on the ground holding his little ninjas in agony.
"I'm going to have a serious talk to those two, no three about safety. . ." Tsunade commented.
"The Uchiha has admittedly been influencing the little shy Hyuga as well in her ways." Kurama admitted with a perverted smirk. "And she used to be the shy, timid wallflower of the three! Now she's just like the Uchiha in every sense! Even turning Bi for said Uchiha too!" He added as he began to laugh hard. "I really love the Uchiha! She can even turn girls Bi!" He exclaimed in his mind.
"Wait what!?" Tsunade exclaimed. "I thought they were both into Naruto!" She got as her brain just couldn't keep up with all of this insanity as Shizune just slammed her head on the table.
"Hehe, yeah. . .besides the kit, they really like each other that way as well. . ." Kurama pervertedly explained "But they are strictly into each other along with the kit!" He added with a perverted chuckled.
Tsunade didn't really know how to register all of this, let alone how to respond to this as she just palmed her face. "That Uchiha. . .just. . .just. . .ugh. . ." She got out as she began to drank the whole sake bottle.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune yelled at her teacher's current action.
"Just let me drink!" Tsunade stated as she guzzled down the bottle, no longer being able to take all of the insanity that revolves around her godson and his girlfriends.
Shizune just sighed to this. "This is gonna be a long night. . ." She muttered in exhaustion as she held her head.
Kurama just chuckled as he watch the female Sannin drink and trying to pass out from it. "I wonder what would Tsunade big boobs say or do if she found out that her little godson did it already. . .probably is best to keep the secret, for all our safety and keep our limbs intact." He thought to himself.
Asuma rushed through the handsigns as more ROOT agents came at him. "Wind Style! Air Bullet Barrage!" He thought as he sucked in a massive amount of air before releasing. The shot of air that then launched out of his mouth then separated into more shots as they striked each ROOT agents and blowing holes in their bodies in the process. "Now to get the old man. . ." He muttered as he soon rushed to the room where the Third Hokage was. Just as he took a corner he didn't felt the slight hazy around the hallway as he continue to run.
"Foolish man. . ." A monotone yet female voice droned out in the form of an echo. "Danzō-sama's will be law now. . .you are interfering with trying to obtain the Third Hokage. . ." Suddenly, a woman that looked like she was in her twenties appeared with a white mask with yellow markings in the form of a cheetah.
Asuma then started to grab his head in a form of a pain. "Shit. . .genjutsu. . ." He struggled out as he then felt his body unable to move.
Then the female ROOT agent then started to get closer to him ready to cut Asuma's windpipe. "Die. . .for the sake of the village. . ." She declared as her kunai was about to slash his neck, but she was startled when Asuma hand grabbed her wrist. "What!?" She shouted in honest startlement. "But how!? You shouldn't be able to released the genjutsu so quickly!" She stated as she was confident in her skill with her genjutsu as she struggled to break away from the man.
Asuma gave a smirk and punched her in the gut, causing her to bleed thanks to his trench knives. "Hey, when your girlfriend is Konoha's genjutsu mistress, you learn really quick when she's playing with your head, after you piss her off." He commented as he then leaned the woman against the wall. "You may have tried to kill me, but you and those other ROOT members are still Konoha shinobis. . .I'm not just gonna keep killing our own forces. . ." He then deepened his glare. "Don't think of coming after me again. . .or I will kill you. . ." He threatened in a cold tone to show he was serious on his threat as he began to walked down the hallway as the female ROOT member slipped into unconsciousness, her mask also cracking slowly.
After a few moments late, Asuma finally reached the Third's hospital room to which two loyal Anbu's were guarding said room. "Halt! Identify yourself!" The Anbu on the right asked as both drew their blades and took a stance ready to attack.
"Asuma Sarutobi, son of the Third." He answered as he put away his weapons.
This action calmed a little the Anbu members, but they didn't lower their guards in the slightest, after all this were two of the most loyal Anbu their could be, so they won't ever let any harm come to their Hokage. "What must a shinobi be? What is a shinobi of Konoha's role?" The Anbu with brown hair then asked.
Asuma nodded in response to this. "To protect the king, the village without bloodshed. . .and to maintain the Will of Fire within our King." He answered without missing a beat.
With that answered both Anbu placed their weapons away and lower their guard. "Asuma-san, what is the current situation of the village?" The brown hair Anbu asked.
"Not good. . .Danzō is indeed trying to take over the village. . ." Asuma answered as he walk past them and enter the Third's room.
"We seen it. . .Some ROOT agents and some out of control civilians manage to get to this location and tried to get inside, but we quickly disposed of any and all ROOT, while knocking the civilians out and binding them from trying to get inside." The other Anbu replied.
Asuma nodded as he looked as his father, who was still in a deep coma. "The remaining civilians and shinobis that aren't under the genjutsu are holding up at the Hyuga Compound protected by a barrier ninjutsu. . ." He reported. "Me and Gai were sent to transfer the Hokage and Kakashi to the compound to keep them safe." He added as he began to lift his father in his arms.
"Then we will accompany you, we will not leave the Hokage's side." The brown hair Anbu stated with dedication and passion.
Asuma nodded to that. "Alright, having more capable shinobi with me will make this a whole lot easier." He replied and began to leave the room with the two Anbu's taking point to make sure to deal with any surprise attacks, be it from ROOT agents or crazed civilians. "Still. . .a hostile take over. . .I knew Danzō was a sly prick and all. . .but damn. . ."
"Danzō will do anything for his vision of how a shinobi village should be. . ." The brown haired Anbu commented with a serious yet angry tone that just says that he knew what he was talking about.
The three then began their journey back to the Hyuga Compound as night rolled in.
At the Hyuga Compound where all of the genin and children were roomed together in one of the most secure location in the compound, most of the children were asleep save for some certain groups.
Ino sighed as she looked at the ceiling as an image of the shinobi that caused what was happening, remembering the green and pink mask. "What. . .happened to you?" She muttered in confusion.
"You still up Ino?" Said girl bent her head back slightly as she looked at Chōji. "You've been nervous ever since you got back with Fū."
"I guess thinking of all of this mess is making me nervous." Ino replied as she only told him half of her real worries.
"Yeah, it is crazy. . .and nerve racking. . ." The two then turned to see that Tenten was up, unfortunately next to a snoring Lee who was hugging a very happy sleeping Kin in a suggestive manner. "And looks like were not the only one who are having trouble sleeping, huh?" She added in a teasing manner.
Lee and Kin didn't respond however since they were too deep into sleep.
"You guys too huh?" The three awake members of the Konoha 11 group turned to see Kiba leaning against a wall while petting the back of a sleeping Akamaru. "It's been a week since this shit happened and it's really fucking annoying to deal with. . ."
"I know. . ." Ino responded in a depressed tone. "Just be glad that were able to get a decent amount of people to safety. . ."
"Yeah, but there's still a lot to deal with out there. . ." Tenten added. "You said that you saw Danzō out there embracing all of this right?"
Ino then sighed in response to this. "Yeah, he was definitely part of the reason for all of this. . .him and that shinobi who activated that jutsu." She then looked at the ceiling again. "It's ironic that Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki were out of the village with Jiraiya of the Sannin. . ." She suddenly stated.
Tenten raised an eyebrow to the sudden change. "Where did that come from?" She asked.
"It just popped into my head." Ino briefly explained. "I mean, they are still gone from the village thanks to Jiraiya-sama. . .I wonder how they are gonna react to all of this?" She wondered.
Kiba chuckled to this. "Knowing Naruto, he would want to rush back to the village and beat the living shit out of the prick that caused all of this." He stated with a smirk.
Tenten couldn't help but giggle to that. "Yeah, even though I didn't know him as long as you guys, it does sound like something Naruto-chan would do. Same thing comes to mind with Satsuki-chan." She stated
"What makes you think Satsuki-chan would react that way?" Kiba then asked.
Tenten then shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, I just have the feeling that she would be identical or really alike to Naruto-chan, personality-wise I mean." She explained in a somewhat joking tone.
Ino couldn't help but giggle in response. "After what we've seen from her, I actually don't mind that at all. Now that I think about, when she was acting like a boy, she acted pretty much like an emo person. . ." She admitted.
"Like you didn't like that." Kiba commented with a smirk. "Little miss fangirl number two for Sasuke. . ." He taunted.
This made Ino blush to Hinata's level out of embarrassment from all those times at the academy. "Hey, it's not my fault she acted so cool as Sasuke. . .any girl would've reacted that way. . ." She stated as she tried to defend herself.
"If you mean Fangirls, then yes." Kiba countered as his smirk never left his face.
"Bite me dog breath!" Ino hissed out in a whisper. Then she took a deep breath and calmed down to not wake anyone of the younger kids up. "Besides, now I just see Satsuki as a friend now. . .not to mention that I feel really guilty for always insulting Naruto for the way he acted back in the academy and after finally getting to know him for being someone who is kind and caring person I may had fallen for him. . ." She added in a joking manner.
"I wouldn't try, Satsuki seems to be someone who's clingy when it comes to something." Tenten giggled back. "Clingy people do tend to be a bit. . .territorial and she only allows Hinata to get anywhere near him." She added.
Kiba sighed to the thought of this. "Naruto. . .you one lucky bastard. . ." He mutter with full blown jealousy in his voice. "One day. . .I'll get my own kickass girl. . ."
Deep underground in a cavern, a long hair girl sneezed. "ALRIGHT!? WHO THE FUCK IS TALKIN' ABOUT ME!?" She roared out in anger.
Kiba then chuckled at the thought. "Soon. . ." He muttered.
"Whatever you say dog breath." Ino responded in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"You'll get someone eventually, but only if you manage to win her heart, but by actions not just by words alone." Chōji piped in as everyone then look at him strangely. "What?"
"Um. . .nothing, it's just that. . .well. . ." Kiba mutter.
"Really good advice to make a girl fall for someone." Tenten admitted as she then looked towards Ino. "Wouldn't you say?"
Ino only nodded dumbly in response.
"Um. . .excuse me. . ." A young voice called out. "Your Onee-sama's friends right?"
The alright awake Konoha 11 turn and looked at the child that was tightly holding a pillow. She had long brown hair and a familiar set of Byakugan white eyes and a somewhat stoic expression as she looked at them.
"Uh. . .who you are?" Ino asked with a raised eyebrow. "And who is your sister?" She asked all but Tenten nodded in agreement as she already knew who she was.
The girl held the pillow tighter in her grip. "Hinata-oneesama, I'm her sister, Hanabi Hyuga." She introduced. "Um. . .I wanted to ask. . .do you know where Onee-sama, Naruto-niisama and Satsuki-neesama went? Father said that she and the others are on a top secret and urgent mission for Konoha's safety." She asked in a timid like fashion, similar to a certain Hyuga in the past.
This made Tenten widen her eyes towards the the girl. "Wow. . .Is this really the same Hanabi a sometime saw when I came to the Hyuga compound?" She asked in her mind, in all the times she would come to pick up Neji for training she would sometimes saw Hanabi and on all those times she was always like all other Hyuga's, never showing emotions to anyone. "She's acting like Hinata before she started dating Naruto-chan." She added.
"Well, she, Naruto and Satsuki went with Jiraiya-sama to located Tsunade-sama so that she can take the mantle of Hokage." Ino responded Hanabi's question.
Hanabi's eyes widen to that. "Onee-sama is on such an important mission like that?" She asked as her voice was filled with shocked and excitement. When everyone nodded in confirmation, Hanabi began to blush and her eyes began to shine brightly. "Wow! That's so cool!"
With that, Tenten's jaw hit the floor at the girl's reaction. "Ok! Who are you and what did you done with the real Hanabi!?" She asked/shouted as she pointed at Hanabi, but kept it in a whisper.
"Um. . .She has the Byakugan so I think she really is a Hyuga and she does look like her Hinata's dad." Kiba got out as he sweatdropped.
"The Hanabi I remember acted like completely like the other usual Hyuga. You know, strict, overconfident with their eyes, stoic and somewhat emotionless. . ." Tenten briefly explained
"UWAHAHAHAH. . .I-I wasn't that bad was I!?" Hanabi got out, completely nervous as some tears ran down her eyes.
"Tenten! How can you say something like that!?" Ino declared. "I expected that from Kiba, but not from you!" She added as she pointed at Kiba.
"OI!" Kiba shouted in indignation.
"Your right. . .I'm sorry Hanabi-chan. . .I really did sounded like Kiba." Tenten apologized as she gave Hanabi a small bow.
"OI!" Kiba shouted again, getting more annoyed than before.
"I-It's alright. . ." Hanabi got out as she did what Hinata used to do as she played with her fingers. "I-I admit that I was a bit of a. . .stuck up to others. . .but more so to Onee-sama. . ." She admitted, her head slightly dropping in shame.
"I'm guessing there was a reason for that, huh? And for the change of view for your sister then?" Chōji asked. Again everyone turn to look at him. "Seriously! Stop acting so surprised! I can have intelligent moments!" He shouted. "After all I been with Shikamaru almost all my life so I do get some of his smarts." He added as he cross his arms in annoyance.
"Troublesome. . .don't get me involve in this. . ." Shikamaru grumbled out as he was laying on his bed as he then covered his head with his sheet.
Everyone just chuckled at that before they looked at Hanabi. "So, care to explain Hanabi-chan, what changed you from before?" Tenten asked, offering her a place to lay down next to her.
Hanabi again twiddled her fingers before taking Tenten's offer, soon snuggling in with her fellow brown haired girl. "Well. . .I guess I should start before I was like how you described me. . ." She started. Then after she got comfortable, she hugged her pillow on her chest while laying on it. "Well. . .I never really knew what a mother's love was as our mother died a few months after I was born. So Onee-sama was both my mother figure and my role model since I could remember." She began to explained as she smiled from the memories of her past with her sister. "I always secretly go and admire Onee-sama while she trains, to me. . .she was the prettiest and strongest person there was."
Shikamaru slightly open an eye at that as he showed it from under the covers. "But something drastic happened that change that didn't it. . ." He deducted.
"It was something within the clan right?" Tenten asked as she rubbed the younger girl's head like an older sibling would.
Hanabi let a few tears drop to that while she nodded her head. "It was after a few days after my uncle died that everything started to change. . .one day when I sneak out to look at Onee-sama training with Neji-niisan again, it was when I saw for it the first time when I saw Onee-sama lose. . .badly. . ." She explained as more tears began to drop.
"Must've been around the time when Neji was fixed on the fate crap. . ." Kiba stated and all around them jaws dropped with pure shocked. "Oh come on! What's with the huge difference when Chōji saids a smart thing and when I say it!"
"There's being smart and being reckless and dumb. . .and you are in the second category. . ." Ino deadpanned.
Kiba tried to charge at Ino after placing Akamaru on the floor, but he was stopped by Shikamaru's Shadow Possession jutsu, which caused to go into the same position as Shikamaru, laying on the ground. "Let it go Kiba. . .They already label you and when a girl label you, its stick on you for life. . .as troublesome as it is. . ." He stated as he let him go and Kiba just sat back down and cross his arms in annoyance.
"Anyway. . ." Tenten started as she looked at the young Hyuga girl. "Continue."
Hanabi nodded to this. "Then I saw father activating the Curse Seal, that was my first time I ever seen it, I left after that and it broke everything I believed of what Onee-sama was in my mind out of confusion and shame towards her. . .so I was so shocked that I wanted to be alone to think of what I had seen. My grandfather came and explained to me about the Curse Seal and that we are born with a destiny we must fulfilled, as well that it can never be change. That was when I was slowly starting to change. . ." She explained in a shameful tone.
"Where you were becoming like all the other Hyuga Clan members besides Hinata?" Tenten guessed.
Once again, Hanabi nodded to this. "H-Hai. . .But it only really started to happen when a day later I saw Onee-sama leaving the compound and I decided to follow her. When I finally reach her I saw her watching Naruto-niisama, though I didn't know him back then, only that he was a troublemaker and that no one really like him. At the time I became frustrated that Onee-sama was wasting her time watching him instead of training to get stronger. . ." She admitted with shame.
"So it was back when Hinata was spying on Naruto huh?" Kiba joked out, remembering how he smelt Hinata always near Naruto but he never figured it out.
"Right. . .as my frustration grew, I began to train harder to try to forget about everything. My grandfather saw me and asked our father to have me be the heiress instead. . ." Hanabi continued. "At a time. . .I just kept on thinking about wanting to become stronger. . .like Satsuki-neesama when she was pretending to be Sasuke. . .after training for many days, one day my father and all of the clan was in front of me and Onee-sama, he told us to fight each other for the right to be the heiress. We fought. . .I won. . .but some part of me knew that Onee-sama let me won. . .but at the time, I simply believed my grandfather about that Onee-sama wasn't destined to lead the Clan and that it was mine. . ." She stated while sadness filled her face.
Everyone saw that Hanabi was really hurt by all of the chain of events that led to that.
Then Hanabi began to smile. "But. . .things began to change again. . ." She stated.
This confused everyone present. "What cause the change this time?" Tenten asked as she smile at the happiness in Hanabi's face.
"Onee-sama became a ninja and was place on Team 7." Hanabi declared with a big bright smile. "At the time, I didn't really started to believe it, because I was convince that Onee-sama was the same. But Onee-sama was slowly changing and was getting stronger and stronger that at one point I was beginning to doubt what my grandfather told me, but I refuse to believe it 'onee-sama being with the same person she used to watch all the time would had make any difference. But the more time Onee-sama was with Naruto-niisama, the more she started changing. . .she was turning back into the Onee-sama I used to looked at. . .strong and pretty. . ." She explained as she blushed again. "But what really convince me was what happened before her fight at the final rounds of Chunin Exams." She added.
"Hinata's fight against Haruno?" Tenten deducted with a raised eyebrow as the rest of the people there were really entrance in Hanabi's story, even Shikamaru stop pretending to be asleep and was listening with his full attention.
To this Hanabi nodded.
"What happened?" Ino asked.
"Well. . ." Hanabi began as the memory of that time was still vivid in her mind.
Flashback no Jutsu!
At the Hyuga compound, few hours before the finals of the Chunnin Exams had began.
Hinata was at the Dojo doing some light exercises to warm up for her match. "Onee-sama? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the stadium by now?" Hanabi asked with a stoic voice as she got inside the dojo and saw Hinata warming up.
Hinata turned to see see her sister and smiled to her. "Oh Hanabi-chan, I didn't see you there."
This made Hanabi be slightly startled. "Again. . .Why is she like this? It's like she's. . ." She thought to herself as memories of a young and dazzling Hinata came to mind and she quickly shook her head. "I-It's alright. . .but should you be at the stadium?" She asked as she tried to hid her small blush and keep her stoic expression.
"I was just getting some last minute training in before I head out. I mean, I have to give it everything I got if I want to be Haruno. . ." Hinata answered in a serious tone as did one of her Gentle Kick techniques.
This made Hanabi stare at her sister with wide eyes and as if Hinata was beginning to sparkle with each move she made. "O-Onee-sama. . .what. . .what happened to you exactly? Ever since you became a ninja. . .you've been different. . ." She asked, not realizing she did ask the questions.
Hinata stopped her training and turned her head towards her, Then she gave a very beautiful and gentle smile that made Hanabi blushed harder. "I guess. . .It's because I'm with Naruto-kun and Satsuki-chan. . ." She answered.
"Eh?" Hanabi got out in a confused manner. "Why would Onee-sama being with him make any type of change. . ." She muttered out loud again.
"It because he accepts me for me. . .he doesn't care about what clan I'm from, whether I'm not a clan heiress anymore or who I am, he cares about me just being me. . ." Hinata answered. "He supports me and it has helped me grown to who I am now. . .and I'll keep growing stronger to help bring forth my dreams for the future. . ."
"Then. . .why not just become the heiress again!?" Hanabi shouted. "Now you're strong enough to convince the elders to return the title to you!"
"Because what I want now. . .is something much greater the being the head of the Hyuga Clan. . ." Hinata responded as she went over and pet Hanabi on the head. "And true. . .I'm pretty sure after my match, the elder will possibly think that way you describe it. . ." She added.
"Then. . .what do you want? What could be greater than the Hyuga Clan?" Hanabi asked, a blush rising upon her face from the pat on her head like Hinata used to gave her.
Hinata smiled as she looked out the window. "Peace. . .true peace. . ." She stated. "Where no more fighting has to take place. . .where no one has to deal with others feeling superior to each other thanks to something special about them. . ." She then looked back at Hanabi as she lowered herself to look at her in the eyes. "A peace where no one has to deal with burdens. . .this is my wish. . ." She declared with pride.
"But. . .what about your wish about changing the Hyuga clan?" Hanabi asked with mixed feelings. She was happy about Hinata returning to how she used to remember her, but sad that she just admitted that she has giving up on her wish.
Hinata giggled as she rubbed her sister's head. "I will have to leave that to the one person that I know can accomplish that wish. . ." Hinata stated.
"Who?" Hanabi asked, not knowing who she could be possibly be referring to.
Hinata giggled again "Who else but you Hanabi-chan? My adorable imouto. . .I know that you would be able to do it the clan already believes you are suited for the Clan Head. . ." She declared with pride in her eyes as she looked directly at her sister.
Hanabi's eyes widen to that as she looked at her sister. "E-EEEEEEEEEEEEH!?"
Hinata's smile didn't waver as she then walked passed Hanabi, leaving the dojo. "Watch my match Hanabi-chan. . .and you'll understand. . ." She requested as she shut the dojo door, leaving a dumbfounded Hanabi by herself.
Kai!
"So what happened when you watched Hinata's match?" Chōji asked. "Did anything click inside you?"
Hanabi nodded. "What I saw was something that I once thought I would never see again. . .My pretty and strong Onee-sama I idolized. . .but that was just the surface. . .What I saw underneath was that someone that had truly changed herself and became someone that had surpass anyone in the Hyuga Clan. And I saw that she alongside Naruto-niisama and Satsuki-neesama were meant for something greater. . .leading me to respect them more with adding sama to them. . ." She stated.
"Wow. . .That really a touching story, you really admire your sister, huh?" Ino stated.
"Yes, I admire not only Onee-sama, I also have the same admiration towards Naruto-niisama and Satsuki-neesama." She started as she smile and blushed. "But. . .definately not like a fangirl. . .They don't know what it truly means to admire someone from the bottom of the heart." She added with a pout as she scoffed at the thought of ever being thought of a fangirl.
This made Ino blush, while the others started to laugh. "Will you guys let it go already!" She growled.
Shikamaru smirks at all of this. "Ha. . .Hard to believe that not just a few minutes ago everyone was depressed and now that they are talking about Naruto and the other girls its like the mood completely change. . .." He stated as he watch everyone having fun and were smiling. "Naruto does have the effect one anyone, even if it was indirectly. . ." He added.
Even at the midst of all the chaos in Konoha, the young shinobi's of the Leaf can smile, laugh and forget their worries. if only for just this one night. . .
In a dark cavern, one figure was sitting down in a chair while another one was tending the first.
"So, what issssss the status of Tsunade's condition. . ." The one sitting down hissed out, holding back some pain in his voice.
"She seems to be weavering after learning that her godson, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze was alive Orochimaru-sama. He and Jiraiya along with the Uchiha and Hyuga Heiresses are with them as well." The other voice answered before a candle's flame became bright enough to reveal Orochimaru sitting on a throne while Kabuto was bowing to him, though the Snake Sannin seemed to be in an incredible amount of pain.
"I see. . ." Orochimaru got out in disdain. "It matters not. . .what is truly need now. . .aside from healing my arms. . .is her blood. . .So if we can somehow get her to heal my arms that will also help, by any means of course. . ." He said with a smirk.
Kabuto nodded to this. "For the Project, correct? We have already obtained the Uchiha and the Hyuga blood samples. You also was Tsunade Senju's blood sample?"
Orochimaru chuckled in a vile tone. "Her's. . .and the Uzumaki's as well. . .I could use Karin's, but she isssssss away at one of the other bases."
"That and the boy's blood will hold much more potential than Karin's, correct?" Kabuto deducted while adjusting his glasses.
"Indeed," Orochimaru answered. "It will end up with creating some. . .interesting results. . .kukuku. . ." He chuckled out. "The blood samples of both the Uchiha and Hyuga inserted into the chamber, correct?"
"Yes, now we just need three more for the first experiment to commence." Kabuto explained.
"Kukuku. . .excellent. . ." Orochimaru chuckled out some more. "And if Danzo's little project doesn't succeed, he will at least bring some more subjects for experimentation. . ."
"Hai." Kabuto nodded. "The meeting with Tsunade will be in a week, be prepared for anything Orochimaru-sama."
"I already know that Kabuto. . .I already know. . ." Orochimaru retorted with a smirk as he then blew out the candle, darkening the room again.
Those that live in the darkness were getting ready for something. . .plotting to used against our heroes, something that will change the lives of many and question what they should do and what decisions should take as they shall grow up not only as shinobis but as individuals. . .
JG (JGResidentEvil's) A/N: What's up everyone, this is JGResidentEvil here on my Birthday! Here with me is fight2protect for another amazing and crazy chapter of Uchiha Heiress Remix!
F2P (fight2protect's) A/N: Yo! First off Happy B-day JG! Second off all, this chapter was really intense! And it was released way sooner that then the last one too! We're just that awesome!
JG: Hell yeah! Thanks F2P! I really appreciate it and hell yeah this was intense! Banzai for getting this one done! So anyway, as always, each of us is going to do a single review response, here's mine from Dragon Man 180, a long time reviewer!
Nice chapter, though I hope that the good guys in Konoha can take out Sakura or at least stop her from constantly applying the genjutsu for everyone. I loved the flirting between Satsuki, Naruto, and Hinata... so very naughty.
Hehe, well I do have to admit, for Satsuki Uchiha's personality. . .it sort of evolved into a combination of canon 12 year old Naruto's personality and well. . .Akeno Himejima from High School DxD thanks to me rewatching both seasons 1 and 2 plus watching season 3 now. . .hehe, I really enjoy Satsuki more that Sasuke. . . :3 *coughs into fist* Anyway, now I'll give the floor to fight2protect with his review response!
F2P: When we made that chapter I also thought the same thing and I really love the concept of Satsuki be very much like Akeno. So expect a lot more flirting from her! And as for my review response, this is from the guest reviewer simply known as JB!
After the long wait for this chapter I must say, you did a very good job. This is very sweet, very funny and extremely INFURIATING! Seriously, I could reach in and strangle Danzo, Sakura, Orochimaru and those elders. Please do me a favor, and please, please don't wait as long as this one. I really want to see what happens next. I want to see Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki get stronger, everyone and everything back at the village will be ok, and those foul excuses of shinobi and human beings pay for everything they've done. In the right way of course, justice, not just dark and gruesome. If I may suggest, whatever you're plans for them, may I suggest humiliation along with whatever you're planning to do? They're prideful, self righteous and arrogant, and they're blind and done horrible sneaky things because they think they're right. Bah. So they're true nature and deeds should be exposed, everyone turned against them and bought to justice. But that's all just me. Do what you think is best or entertaining. Whether they live or die, captured or escaped, repentant or not is also still your decision. Just please make sure everyone believes in the Will of Fire again, and eventually, Team 7 will be treated as heroes. Please update soon.
Haha! We really went all out with the last chapter didn't we? That was the feeling we we're aiming for the readers to have and as for the fate of elders. . .let's just say that our three heroes will show everyone in Konoha what the true meaning of the Will of Fire.
JG: Well said my friend, well said. Now then, now I have a special birthday surprise to the fans! It's not much, but here are some future lines that the three main characters and Kurama will eventually be saying throughout their adventures!
"My friend, just remember to use your power for the right reason. What's the point of having it if you can't help people and protect the ones you care about?" - Naruto
"You and me are a lot alike, we were both shunned in our own ways but in the end, it helped us developed as ourselves for the future and to chose our own paths." - Satsuki
"On the contrary, I never underestimate any opponents, I merely try to remain as calm and positive as possible, so that I don't falter during a fight." -Hinata
"TEETH! PAIN! MY BALLS! NEUTERED I TELL YOU!" -Kurama
F2P: Wait. . .what was that last one? *Laughs hysterically*
JG: Hehe, let's just say that Kurama's gonna feel the worse pain than anyone could had ever imagine. . .and it will be glorious!
F2P: If he knew it was us that made that happened he'd kill us! *Continues laughing*
JG: Hell yeah! So now things have come to an end, I must say again, I am glad this was finished on my B-Day! It feels great!
F2P: Again, Happy B-day and have fun on your party! Peace out!
JG: See you all next time!
