Chapter 11: Subversion of Corruption part 2: It Has Begun
Naruto is in his clan's war room overlooking the villages schematics on the subject of a possible attack by Oto and Suna while he knows he can defeat Gaia he may not need to fight her. As soon as he thought about it he receives the memories of his dispelled shadow clones.
Naruto scowls as he feels a deep sense of anger from what he had received from his clone. 'Those no good sons of bitches put us in a situation for war all because they felt threatened by a villages increased economy.' thought Naruto as he gets ready for the final exams.
'If this invasion isn't hardly enough I got one sannin who's more than likely to stab me in the back. I'll take care of them when the threat of invasion is over and make sure the village's allies have better standing' thought Naruto as he goes towards the Hokage's tower.
With Tsunade and Ryusei
Tsunade and Ryusei are in the academy together teaching genin in individual studies. Ryusei teaches them the fundamentals of close quarters combat and battlefield tactics. Tsunade teaches them the importance of first aid on the battlefield along with the chunin instructors.
They manage to include rare skills for their respective subjects such as grappler style tactics and pressure points, storing painkillers in hidden pouches on their person. The genin and chunin had been getting the most of the new lessons as they start to train even better than before.
At the moment Ryusei and Tsunade are sitting with each other underneath a tree eating a wonderful lunch. "So Ryusei kun how was your class" asked Tsunade as she eats a sushi roll."Very well hime they are learning very well in what I teach I hope it will serve them well in their tasks as Shinobi's." said Ryusei as he and Tsunade continued eating.
Elsewhere in Konoha.
One Sakura Haruno walking the streets of Konoha until she sees a dojo of sorts. Walking inside she sees Rock Lee and the Dojo master sparring with one another. Sakura is captivated by the duo's skill and ability in Taijutsu. As the two finish sparring they each look at Sakura with interest.
Rock Lee is captivated by Sakura's beauty as the dojo master walks over to Sakura.
"Greetings young lady how may I help you" said the dojo master as Sakura bow to her.
"I would like to learn the art of defense from you, Sensei Veda," asked Sakura humbly as she looks at the woman in question.
"What is your reasoning" asked the master as she looks at Sakura.
" I originally wanted to work as a merchant . But my family threw me out because of my life choices of wanting to be a merchant. I had also had a recent attack on my person that had garnered the attention of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze who rescued me from my attackers. He had advised me to file a report about the attack. But after that I had found that I lack means of defending myself." explained Sakura as the Dojo master thinks upon her works seeing them in a way that relates to herself in a big way.
"I accept you as a student but know you will put everything in your training and nothing less. You will obey the rules of this dojo disobey and you will be punished harshly." said Veda as she look at Sakura in question. Sakura with a determined look nods in agreement.
Elsewhere in Konoha
Satsuki is in her home with Kushina and Mikoto looking at the sealing mark on her back."Kushina, is there anything you can do for Satsuki." asked Mikoto as she is worried about her daughter.
"Yes I could block it off but Orochi teme still has something on your daughter that I need to study." said Kushina as before either could talk they heard a knock on the door. Mikoto opens it to see Naruto.
"Ah Naruto kun come in" said Satsuki as she looks at Naruto in question.
"Hello my lovely raven, how are you doing?" asked Naruto with a smile that makes Satsuki smile.
"Pretty well Byakko" said Satsuki as she looks at the blonde with smile of her home. Naruto looks at the curse mark looking at it with interest. He carefully examines it. Soon through sudden and unexpected reasons the seal disappears as Satsuki feels a relief to herself. Kushina and Mikoto are surprised at the reaction. "What did you do" asked Mikoto as she looks at Satsuki's neck. " I don't know I also examined the seal but is disappeared when had touched it" said Naruto as Kushina thinks on what may be it.
"I think I know Naruto sochi, your abilities of absorbing nature energy. From what I can tell it uses Nature chakra that powers it giving its users nature chakra but of a tainted variant." theorized Kushina as she looks at her son.
"It would make sense seeing as Anko's was also had mysteriously disappeared from trace" said Naruto as Satsuki feels purified. "Thank you Naruto kun you really saved me from that bastards clutches" said Satsuki as she looks at Naruto dreamingly. "It was no problem" said Naruto as Satsuki moves to kiss the blonde tongue wrestling with him.
"Hehe Such as charmer" said Satsuki as she goes to her shower to clean up.
'Argh my son's a casanova without even trying' thought Kushina as she's staring at Naruto with a heated glare.
Naruto looking sheepish as he shunshin dodging a broom thrown by his mother.
'Satsuki you naughty girl you will be a mother to some strong grandchildren in no time I can hardly wait' thought Mikoto as she sees Kushina with her rising hair.
Inside of the Hokage's Tower Hours Later.
Hiruzen is scowling angrily as he is looking out his window. Naruto had told Hiruzen that Suna is invading the village due to the machinations of Danzo and his like minded advisors. Learning that much of the village's assignments was originally supposed to be Suna. Hiruzen for his part was shaking with not only disappointment in his teammates hearing how they intentionally sabotaged their ally in financial backing. Naruto for his part was looking at the man in concern. "Hokage sama what would you like me to do for the village" asked Naruto as the man turns to face him.
Hiruzen thinks that Konoha has many threats inside and outside of the villages. Threats he let roam free. He gives Naruto a look of a god of war and says in his most serious tone. "I want you to subdue the Suna Jinchuruiki and her siblings. After that I want you to destroy much of Orochimaru's forces. After that I want you to help clean house in the village's government as I draw up some reforms that need to be placed." as Naruto nods to the man seeing he has the eyes full of fire.
Naruto shunshins away knowing what to do for his first task.
At a Hotel.
The Suna Siblings are each relaxing inside. Kankuro is reading a book on puppet designs. Temari is braiding Gaia's hair things seem like a blast until they hear a knock on their window. The trio see Naruto in his azure dragon man state hovering over their window. Gaia for her part is in awe at the blonde's state.
"Greetings desert rose we meet again" said Naruto as he lands and transforms back into his human state.
"Namikaze you are a curious creature to come here in this fashion." said Gaia as she looks at the blonde with a intrigued look.
"Well I like to be charming especially for a desert rose like yourself." said Naruto as he hands her black roses.
"But I must tell you as a mercenary of Konoha that I know of your invasion with Oto" said Naruto as the 4 Suna nin's are shocked by the reveal.
"I came to neutralize you by one of two ways. One way I use my powers of the Azure dragon or White tiger to take you all down. The second that I make a deal with you" said Naruto as the Suna team look at Naruto in question. Temari, Baki and Kankuro are really nervous because the blonde is extremely powerful even with their sibling Gaia they have doubts of them winning.
"What do you purpose" asked Baki as he looks at the blonde
"You pull back your forces in exchange Konoha will return the missions that some of our rogue elements stole from you as well as a new alliance agreement that see you on better terms" said Naruto as he look at the Jonin in front of him.
"That sounds good in all but how am I going to convince our leader of said agreement." asked Baki as he looks at Naruto in question.
"You won't because he's not among the living anymore" said Naruto as all of them except Gaia are taken aback by this.
"What do you mean" asked Baki in a tone of disbelief.
"When I was traveling to Suna to investigate a tip from one of your spies I captured and discovered your financial troubles. My clone after leaving the place had discovered something odd from the sky. It went to investigate to discover the remains of the Kazekage's gourd buried under the sand. My clone had also seen the Kazekage rallying your village's forces prior to finding it. After digging I discovered the Kazekage's body. He had been murdered and replaced by an imposter" explained Naruto as the Suna group is shocked.
"I can't believe this" said Temari as she is shocked by the blonde in question.
"I believe it" said Gaia as her group turns to her.
"Temari remember what father called me" said Gaia as Temari thinks back to all of the times Gaia was called the weapon or demon and looked out the only time Gaia was called his daughter.
Temari realizes that Gaia was right to believe as never in her life has their father called Gaia his daughter.
"She is right Father never calls Gaia his daughter at all because he always view her as a weapon or demon." said Temari as Baki and Kankuro has the same realization of the truth.
"So do we have an agreement" asked Naruto as they turn their attention to the blonde. Gaia does the one thing that deeply surprises Baki, Temari and Kankuro. She kisses the blonde deeply.
"Deal handsome" said Gaia as she looks at him with longing. "Here for a new start for our village's friendship I will also rework your seal to help you sleep better" said Naruto as everyone of them look at him with surprise after another. "Where have you been in all our lives." asked Kankuro who looks at the blonde in question. "Training with some of the deadliest warriors on the planet," said Naruto as he looks towards Gaia.
"Could you please fix my seal Ryujin?" said Gaia in a tone of need.
"Sure thing desert rose" said Naruto as he opens the window as she follows behind her.
'I hope you have found the one, my sister. You are in need of it for a long time' thought Temari as she looks at Naruto and Gaia flying together.
Timeskip day of the exams.
The exam finals is something of a site of determination and will power as many of the chunin hopefuls competed for their position as Chunin. In the shadows of the stadium Naruto is looking from the distance at the Hokage tower. Naruto sees the Sound group moving through the treelines undetected by many Konoha ninja.
'Hmm Konoha needs to train better sensors after this is done. Because if they could slip past the defense line.' thought Naruto using his falcon sight. Moving to the northside of the tower he sees several sound nins planting explosives near the armories. Naruto makes 20 shadow clones. "Ten you goe and disarm the explosives. The rest patrol the streets and remember to keep out of site I want to catch our enemy unawares." said Naruto as his clones move to do as he told.
Elsewhere in Konoha.
Danzo is sitting waiting for the hour of his supposed ascendance. 'Soon Konoha will be reborn once Hiruzen's regime is destroy and the Uzumaki and her savage of a son is brought to heel I turn Konoha into a power destined to last forever.' thought Danzo as he eats an apple.
In another place in Konoha.
Jiraiya has developed a dart with two times the black star toxin. 'Fame, Glory, Women all of it will be mine and the toads will reward me well for this student' thought Jiraiya as he finishes the dart.
Back with Naruto
Naruto sees the finals matches. He had seen Neji be defeated by Hinata using he unique form of the Hyuga arts. See the lazy but smart Shikamaru outmaneuver Temari only to give her the match. He looks to see Kankuro as planned forfeit giving the match to Shino and now he sees the match between Satsuki and Gaia as both are fighting like true Kunoichi's and meeting each other as equals. Soon however Kabuto Yakushi uses a genjutsu that puts many to sleep including the daimyos. The battle for Konoha begins but it turn into a fight for survival for Orochimaru's forces as they start to be outnumbered by Konoha as the Sand forces learning of the treachery of Oto abandons them.
Naruto for his part is slaughtering ninja attacking the civilians. He is soon joined by his masters.
"Ah Naruto my boy, how are you" said Raizen as he cuts down 6 pouncing ninja.
"Pretty good granduncle, how are you all like the Chunin exams so far." asked Naruto as he breaks the neck of a charging Chunin.
"Very well Naruto, especially the battle between those two Kunoichi Satsuki and Gaia really brightened my day with their show of a fierce fighting spirit a female warrior should have." said Shiva as she pellets 30 Sound ninja with arrows and kills a sound ninja moving behind her with a neck break.
"I like the show of that Hinata Hyuga with a unique physiology I have seen so far" said Apa as he slams two sound nin and split kick two others.
"Naruto I would suggest going to assist your Hokage so you can stop this invasion" said Ulusun as he breaks a sound nin's back over his knee and clothesline another.
"Right" said Naruto as he flips over a sound nin who runs into a side kick from Ulusun. Naruto is making his way up to the Kage seats to see Hiruzen and Orochimaru squaring off in a dome of energy. Naruto touches the forcefield and felt a slight burn.
"Haha that's what you get stupid" said the six armed ninja with in the forcefield. Orochimaru, after kicking Hiruzen away, turns towards the blonde in question. "Well the son of the yellow flash makes his presence known." said Orochimaru as he soon makes some hands signs "Edo Tensei" said Orochimaru as three coffins appear out of the ground. Naruto being aware of said jutsu, transforms into his Azure dragon state and breaks through the force field, surprising the sound bodyguards and Orochimaru as well as Naruto's own allies. Soon bodies steps outside of the coffins revealing themselves to be the greatest Hokages in Konoha's history.
"Sensei Tobirama and Hashirama" said Hiruzen surprised at his senseis being revived.
"Saru is that you. You look old my student." said Tobirama as he looks at his student.
"Who are you" asked Hashirama as he looks at Minato
"Oh I am the Fourth Hokage Lord First I came after Hiruzen but sacrificed my life to seal the Kyuubi inside of my son Naruto." introduced Minato as he shows his title to the First Hokage.
"Speaking of which Saru where is Naruto" asked Minato as he looks at the Third Hokage.
"Oh he would be right there" said Hiruzen as he points towards Naruto in his Azure Dragon man state. Hashirama and Tobirama look in shock as they think. 'The legends are true the Avatar of Hachimon is before us in all his glory' "What is your name Avatar of Hachimon" asked Tobirama as he looks at Naruto in question.
"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is my name Lord Second. It is an honor to meet you and Hashirama dono" said Naruto as he bows in respect to the two legendary shinobi.
"Enough talk let us begin the battle." said Orochimaru as he takes control of Hashirama and Tobirama as they attack Naruto and Hiruzen but is shocked that Minato is doing nothing. "If your wonder why I'm not under your control is due to you summoning a soul belonging to the Shinigami which nullifies the Edo Tensei user's control" said Minato who proceeds to blitz Orochimaru.
Naruto is fighting the First Hokage to a standstill as Hiruzen and Tobirama are going back and forth.
Naruto using his utmost fighting skill to match the First Hokage's Nature Fist. Punches are traded and landed, Grapples are trade. 'Incredible First Hokage's Nature Fist matches my Cycling Fist, Panther stance and Demir Adam form. I am truly facing off against a legendary ninja' thought Naruto as he gets into a deadlock with the resurrected Shodai Hokage.
Tobirama and Hiruzen are trading elemental jutsu against one another. Naruto and Hashirama also join the battle of elemental jutsu.
An epic battle of titans is commencing as Minato is giving Orochimaru a savage beating who is unable to attack or mount a defense as he is being torn apart by the blonde hokage. Orochimaru seeing that his invasion is falling apart, decides to cut his loss and retreat.
Orochimaru releases the jutsu as he retreats along with many of the sound four except one a girl with bright red hair who was caught by a shock bola courtesy of Neko.
"Well Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze you have an incredible power but don't lose your head around it. After All there are powers out in the world of incredible power and you are still young. A talented young but young neither the less." said Hashirama as he looks at the blonde with a smile as he fades away.
"Saru I sense a great deal of burden in your being. I see in your eyes tiredness I can only say you have been battling with enemies inside of Konoha as well as ones outside. I only hope you chose the right successor to run the village" said Tobirama as he looks at the old Sarutobi as he fades away
Minato and Naruto walks towards each other with sorrow in his eyes. "Naruto I am sorry I only wished for you to have the power to rival the one who attacked Konoha to be able to overpower him." said Minato as the Shinigami shows up and he is not looking happy.
"Greetings Avatar of Hachimon, I am here for your father's soul." said the Shinigami as he looks at Minato.
"But I sense that the one known as Orochimaru nearby so I will do a trade of sorts" said Shinigami as he restores Minato to life and forms a hawk that flies towards a fleeing Orochimaru. Which then scratches the sannin in the face.
"That will be payment" said Shinigami as he disappears as Minato is restored to life.
"Well dad, welcome back to the world of the living" said Naruto as Minato moves to hug his son.
"Thanks Naruto it means alot from you" said Minato as he breaks the hug. Naruto and Minato goes to help the village with any stragglers of Orochimaru's forces.
Naruto is deeply happy of his father being restored to life and can only think of what his mother would do. As he is walking a dart flies through the air hitting him his neck he feels the more potent black star toxin in his system one moment and in the next nothing. 'Yep time to take care of the toads, Danzo and the Civilian Council.' thought Naruto as he moves in step with his father.
Jiraiya who shot the dart feels a sense of dread in his body as he feels death coming on the horizon.
Timeskip 5 hours later.
Much of Orochimaru's Oto forces have either been Captured or killed. With Naruto taking down many of the summons thanks to his Azure Dragon state that surprises everyone. Many of the surrounding building received small damage and a small few of the Konoha forces where killed.
At the moment Naruto along with Hiruzen, Kakashi, Raizen, Tsunade,Mikoto, Tsume Inuzuka, Hiashi, Shibi and the Ino Shika Cho trio look at Minato who is making out with his wife Kushina. The two had lovers had been shocked at the reaction at each other's survival. Kushina had some strong words with Minato but Minato had deeply agreed with her seeing as he had realized that Konoha's people where idiots. Luckily for their son his granduncle had took him from Konoha from some mysterious raiders who attacked the village. The two made up with a small make out session.
The two lovers broke the kiss as the two look at Naruto who smiles. "Thank goodness for your Grand uncle. By the way where is he" asked a curious Kushina as she wanted to meet him to thank him for watching over her blonde son.
"Oh he had left with the rest of the storms." answered Naruto as Minato and Kushina get a nod in understanding.
"Now on to business. I have some information pertaining to some traitors in the leaf that needs to be dealt with harshly." said Naruto which gets everyone's attention.
"You see when I was sweeping for spies I had captured an Suna spy who relayed to me Suna's financial troubles. I sent a shadow clone to investigate the Spy's claims and what I found was troublesome as the Wind Daimyo had sent missions over to Konoha to give us more money. Which lead me to this" said Naruto as Hiruzen shows a chart on the financial records. Years prior.
"Someone has been embezzling funds from the village coffers and cooking the books on the purchases." said Hiruzen as he locks eyes with Naruto.
"We both know the person to blame for this right" asked Naruto as Hiruzen nods.
"Danzo Shimura" said Hiruzen as everyone in the room scowls at the implication knowing it to be true.
"Hokage sama by any chance do you know where Danzo's root bases are" asked Naruto as Hiruzen hands Naruto several maps on many of Danzo's Root bases Danzo said was inactive.
"Thank you also I would suggest you call a meeting" said Naruto as Hiruzen smiles and looks at Minato who also gets the hint.
Naruto soon transforms into his Tiger beast man state. As he soon leaps out of the open window. "Well Minato you ready to take up the mantle of Hokage again" asked Hiruzen as Minato smirks.
"Sure why not brush up on my skills and get my job back." " After that we get some alone time" chimed in Kushina as she licks her lips with desire and want. As Everyone walks towards the chambers.
With Naruto.
Naruto makes 5 legions worth of clones to attack said locations of the Root bases in the village
"Okay boys you know what to do. If you see any children in the preprograming stages save them those who are fair gone give them peace you have your orders" said Naruto as the 5 legions of tiger man beasts go towards the locations. To do what is needed for Konoha as Naruto leads his legion.
30 minutes later.
The civilian and elder councils are feeling unsure of themselves as Minato Namikaze is alive and they feel that he is aware of several misdeeds they have done in the past. Soon however the silence is broken when Naruto kicks in the door. In his beast state pissed beyond belief covered in blood in his tiger beast state.
"Now that Naruto is here I would be announcing that I will be taking back the hat of Hokage and While I am doing that I will be making some changes." said Minato as he gestures for Naruto to move behind Danzo and the elders.
"First things first Danzo you and your fellow elder are sentenced to death for your illegal embezzling and traitorous actions against the leaf and it's allies" said Minato as he nods and soon Naruto with ferocious speed decapitates Danzo and the elders Naruto taking Danzo's body and placing it in a sealing scroll.
"Next the Civilian Council is to be disbanded and reformed into a civic ministry run by that new guy in the group that will report directly to me and the Shinobi Council. " said Minato who is pointing to the man whose relatively new to the civilian council.
"Wow thanks Lord Fourth you won't regret your decision. I am Toki Takamura" answered the man as he bows.
"The rest of you are banished from Konoha without the wealth you stole from the treasury" said Minato as he leaks out some killing intent to make sure their isn't any back talk.
"Excuse me Hokage sama I need to go take care of some loose ends that needed to be tied up." said Naruto as he shunshin's out of the building.
With Jiraiya.
Jiraiya is at a bar drinking at his students return as a sign of doom. Soon however his head is smashed into the bar itself by a white tiger man like arm. "Hey Jiraiya, we have much to catch up with you and the toads especially pertaining me" said Naruto as he switches too his Azure Dragon state and opens a portal to Mount Myoboku and throws Jiraiya into the portal.
On the other side of the portal pa and ma arrive to the disturbance of the portal as they see Jiraiya and Naruto in his Azure Dragon man state. "Toad sages of Myoboku. I have arrive to your home with an ultimatum to leave your involvement with prophecy and fate alone. If you don't I will return to destroy you all. The prophecy of the gods are not to tampered with you should do well to remember. For if you don't I will return to kill you all and salt your lands" said Naruto as he leaks out killing intent that makes the two elders shake with fear and freight as they feel the rage in the air. Naruto returns through the portal as Jiraiya stands on his feet with fear as Naruto made it clear for the toads.
