Chapter 12.
( With Naruto)
Now away from the crowd and away from the Hokage. Naruto had a downcast expression. His entire face was shadowed as a mixture of emotions ran through him. After hearing this revelation at the fact he has parents... Along with Godparents that he never knew about. And the Sandaime Hokage lied to his face about everything...
Why?
Why did the Hokage lie to him about his parents, including his godparents?.
He wanted to cry. It wasn't until Aoi put a comforting hand on his shoulder as he would look up at her.
"it's okay Naruto. You are under my care now. And it's going to be like that for awhile. You are under my custody." Aoi would say with a smile as he too smiled as he went to her side and stayed by her side. As the two would venture off so that she can treat him something nice.
The Boy Naruto Uzumaki is now hers. And no Feeble old man was going to keep him from her.
( The Hokage Tower)
"How did this Happen? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?"
Were Hiruzen's thoughts as he asked himself that. No way, no how?! How did that bitch contact the Fire Daimyo and involve him in matters that shouldn't concern him!
His Superior is already in the village and will be here until both Jiraiya and Tsunade Senju arrive. He hopes both of his students listen to his message to come here immediately.
Because right now there is going to be some hard times in the village. Hard times that Hiruzen will not be looking forward too.
He lost Naruto's trust...
How did the boy meet this Aoi lady? He never saw this coming.
And there's nothing he can do without upsetting the Fire Daimyo. The councils are already pleading to do something about this. Since the majority of the villagers here in Konoha who wronged Naruto are facing Public execution by the Fire Daimyo's samurai.
But there was nothing he could do. Both of his hands were tied at the point.
"Damn that Bitch..." Thought Hiruzen with a snarl on his face at what this Shrine Maiden Aoi has done.
( With Jiraiya)
The Toad Sage who was recently peeping on a woman yet got caught and beat on.
He received a message from his sensei via monkey summon as he read the contents of the letter. Eyes wide when he read that the fire daimyo is there demanding both his and Tsunade Senju's presence in Konoha village.
"This doesn't sound good..." He muttered.
( With Tsunade)
Tsunade would gasp as she read the message that her sensei had given her. What the hell is going on at the village? And what's this about the fire daimyo demanding her return? Along with the threat that if she doesn't come back to the village he will put a massive bounty on Tsunade's head. In which will have every hunter nin including enemies she made will come after her.
With Anger she crushed the scroll.
"Shizune. Pack up. We are going back to konoha." Tsunade says with a look of resignation on her face.
( Konoha, Two days later)
Standing at the Konoha entrance was Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune along with her pig Tonton. They entered in the village taken back by what they are right now.
They see the Fire Daimyo's samurai patrolling and of course interrogating the villagers about their wrong doings towards Naruto as they were executed in public much to the horror of the two sannin.
The three of them along with the pig goes to the Hokage Tower.
( Namikaze Estate)
During these past two days Naruto along with Aoi and Shirohebi have took residence in Namikaze Estate. The Daimyo had ordered the Hokage to allow Naruto and Aoi to live in his father's house.
As the boy is currently in new clothing eating some soup.
Aoi brushing her hair while her servant Shirohebi is in her snake form coiled on the bed. Wearing new Shrine Maiden Attire. She would have a sword resting on her hip. As the Snake lady put on some light pink lipstick on her lips facing the Mirror.
It wasn't until Yugao came in the room.
"Lady Aoi. The Sannin have arrived at the Hokage tower. The Fire lord wants you to arrive at the council chamber with Naruto." Yugao says with the snake lady turning to her.
"I will be there at once." Aoi would reply.
( Konoha Council Chamber.)
Everyone was present right after Tsunade along with Shizune arrived. The clans, civilian council, elders along with Tsunade and Jiraiya arriving.
The Fire Daimyo was present with his samurai general at his side along with a squadron of Samurai in the room as protection.
The council doors opened revealing Lady Aoi along with Naruto. Shirohebi wasn't in her human form. Yet her serpent form and was coiled around her mistress resting on her shoulder.
Once she came into view Jiraiya put on a frown on his face seeing the woman along with a snake... as he took notice in his student's son standing besides the Shrine Maiden.
Tsunade noticed her too. Wondering who was she? And what was her story?
"Hello Daimyo-sama and governing system of Konoha.. along with the sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade Senju I presume?" Aoi would say as the Elders shot her dirty looks
"Hello Aoi-sama and young Naruto. Let's begin this hearing." The Fire Daimyo says now turning towards both Sannin.
Aoi and Naruto would take a seat with Naruto glaring at the Sannin who happens to be his godparents.
Tsunade would wince from the look and couldn't help but feel guilty... it was almost as if Kushina was behind the boy glaring at Tsunade.
Jiraiya also winced. As he flinched. He could have swore he saw Minato standing behind Naruto giving the man a cold glare. The glare he would wear when he slaughtered Iwa shinobi in the third shinobi war.
"Do you two know why you are here?" The Fire Daimyo asked seeing both sannin wince and look away.
"Ye-Yes.." Both of them said in unison.
"If so. Then why did you two leave and abandon Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki?" The Fire lord would ask seeing both of them tense.
"I... I had a spynetwork to take care of your highness plus I didn't have any time to be raising him. He felt a lot better with Sarutobi Sensei." Jiraiya answered as the Fire Daimyo glared at him.
"I see. What says you Tsunade Senju?" He turns towards her as she winced slightly
"I.. left because... because... I lost Kushina... i had to leave Konoha because I lost so many loved ones here.. I couldn't bare to stay..." She answered as he looked at her with a glare.
"You both abandoned your godson. While he was suffering at the hands of Konoha's villagers? Beating him? Starving him? Even made attempts on killing him?" The Fire Lord says with Tsunade looking shocked while Jiraiya looked away.
"You both Disgust me. To pay for your neglect. You two will become active Konoha Shinobi and will have your funds drained and given to Naruto Uzumaki." The Firelord says with both sannin widening their eyes.
"Wha-What!? But!" Jiraiya would protect.
"Shut up! Let me finish. You two along with your Sensei for watching over Naruto is TERMINATED! That responsibility belongs to my new Shrine Maiden. She now watches over Naruto as his mother figure.." The Fire Daimyo says with those in the room murmuring and gasping
"If either of you plan on leaving out of your punishment I will place a massive bounty on both of your heads and will have both of you either imprisoned or executed! Understand?" The Fire Daimyo says with both nodding in defeat.
"Good. I'm glad we understand each other. As for Aoi, since she decides to live here and raise Naruto. She is my inquisitor. Meaning that she will be my eyes and ears here in this village if you defy my rule, she is free to do anything as she pleases. If you attack her that also means your attacking me. Are we clear?" The Fire Daimyo says looking at the council who nodded their heads in defeat.
"This hearing is dismissed. Aoi. Farewell and take good care of young Naruto. If you ever need anything just message me." He would say to her.
"Thank you Daimyo-sama. I promise I will. Unlike certain idiots." Aoi would say with Jiraiya looking offended by that with Tsunade looking a bit saddened. Hiruzen would scowl at Aoi.
"Let's go home Naruto." Aoi would say with the boy following her leaving the council chamber.
