KG: I guess you all heard the news that is weeding out the violent and lemon fics and maybe the authors will be terminated. It really hurts doesn't it? Well don't worry. I'm gonna post my stories somewhere else( website is at the bottom of the chapter) just in case they (cries) get rid of me. My author name is the same as it is here so don't worry about that.
Three Days Later
Naruto , Kushina, and Jiraiya continued to walk towards Tea Country for their mission which was to protect the Daimyou's treasury from some kind of thieves that were targeting it. Some of the awkwardness that was there at the start of the trip was gone after those three days of walking and talking. Naruto had forgotten that incident somewhat, but it was rather hard to do with Kyuubi constantly reminding him.
While they traveled, Kushina taught Naruto more of her kenjutsu and taijutsu and she was more than pleased that the result of the seals on her son's body were working better than she could imagine. As she always knew, Naruto was a fast learner and he had the bruises and aches to prove it, but even in his one day off the blonde was still learning about chakra control from Jiraiya as the sannin gave him books to read which Naruto pouted and Kushina giggled since she shared the same dislike for books just like her son.
Currently, The had just arrived in Tea Country and the sun was going down. Everyone finally sighed and stopped near a restaurant. They saw many people conversing and walking the pretty light-filled streets.
"Finally here. So when do we meet this Daimyou?" Naruto asked while he sat on the ground. Jiraiya sighed and took out the mission scroll and looked through its contents.
"We can meet with him after we get something to eat. Why don't you two get something and I'll set up the hotel," Jiraiya said while Naruto and Kushina turned to each other then gave Jiraiya their individual blank stares.
"Aren't you gonna be hungry?" Kushina asked and Jiraiya grinned as he walked away. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he saw Jiraiya's retreating form and sighed when he heard the man's reply.
"Oh don't worry about me. I'll simply meet up with you guys in the next hour," Jiraiya said giggling while he walked away. It was now Kushina's turn to sigh when she remembered that back when she was alive Tea Country was quite famous for its brothels and knowing Jiraiya that was kind of easy to figure out.
"Oh well sochi, let's get something to eat now," Kushina said walking into the restaurant while Naruto got to his feet and followed in after her.
The restaurant was rather quaint looking, but they weren't in the mood to be picky. Kushina sat at a table and Naruto sat across from her. Both were given menus and ordered some good looking food. They were still rather tired so neither was in the mood to eat anything big. Naruto simply ate some soup with a couple of sandwiches while Kushina had the same thing. It was a rather simple dinner and not much conversation was going around, but for different reasons between the mother and son duo.
Naruto, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't forget that night when he felt a small attraction to his mother. He knew he was the only one feeling this way, but Kushina if given enough time would pick up some of the hints and that worried Naruto slightly. He looked up from his meal to see Kushina quietly eating her food and he unconsciously examined her again. His eyes looked at her creamy looking skin of her face and then noticed her long beautiful, red hair. He could really see why his father could fall for such a woman, but what worried him was that just maybe he was starting to also. He had always thought that he liked Sakura, but somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he was deluding himself. He remembered how hard Sakura cried when Sasuke had woken up from that coma that Itachi put him in. Naruto sighed when he also remembered the multiple times that Sakura did hit and berate him. He wasn't oblivious to it also. He wasn't sure why he always allowed it, but he felt that maybe Sakura would come around someday.
"I guess that was a dream also," Naruto thought and sighed before he looked at his mother again. Even though it was soup and some sandwiches Kushina was eating with some grace that made Naruto compare her to Sakura and then the blonde chuckled that it was ridiculous. Mainly because he couldn't compare Sakura to his mother. Sakura lacked all the things that made Kushina look amazing. He could've chalked that up to Sakura still having a childlike body, but he knew that even if she was older she still wouldn't compare to his mother. That long red hair, the creamy skin and the just amazing presence she exuded.
Kushina felt her son's eyes on her as she ate and truth be told she was rather embarrassed by it. She wasn't sure why he was looking at her so intently, but she figured that Naruto was still coming to terms that she was alive and in front of him. Kushina mentally smiled when she thought that. She was rather happy also that she could be with him like this. For all those years, she wondered what it was like to be with her son and when Minato wanted to make him a jinchuuriki Kushina felt such unparalleled sadness, but Naruto grew up to be a fine young man in her eyes. Naruto looked so much like Minato that the resemblance was uncanny, but Kushina wouldn't dare compare Naruto to Minato in any other way than appearance. Naruto wasn't Minato, he was Naruto and he was going to stay that way. Kushina decided to break Naruto's gaze and looked up from her food.
"Is something bothering you Naru-kun?" Kushina asked and Naruto quickly stopped his staring and blushed in embarrassment. He had been caught looking at his mother or maybe she knew all along, but didn't say anything to him.
"Umm nothing really Kaa-san. I-I'm done with my food so I'm gonna go," Naruto said quickly getting up and left the restaurant. Kushina frowned when she saw Naruto leave. It's like the blonde was avoiding her for some reason. Kushina looked at her son's plate and saw that he still have a few sandwiches left. She looked at her own plate and saw she was just about finished which shows that she was the one relatively eating.
"Sochi what's wrong with you?" Kushina wondered as she placed some money on the table and walked out of the restaurant to meet up with Jiraiya.
With Naruto
Naruto sighed as he walked through the streets. He was an idiot. He just ran out of the restaurant so fats before his mother could even respond. Maybe it was on the spur of the moment, he wasn't sure, but he could feel that he just made things a bit more complicated.
"No kidding brat. Now she's definitely gonna be suspicious of you now," Kyuubi said and Naruto sighed with a nod.
"It's not my fault," Naruto said and Kyuubi grinned like mad. He was still having so much fun as he toyed with his container.
"Hey you were the one checking her out. I'll admit that she's nice looking for a human, even if we have a 'I hate you, you hate me' relationship," Kyuubi said and Naruto chuckled. He could see that. Kyuubi and Kushina arguing everyday about something that didn't even matter.
"I'm sure I don't want to know," Naruto said and Kyuubi snorted then faded. Naruto wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a response or not, but he didn't care at the moment.
After a few hours of aimless walking, Naruto came up to a large building and raised an eyebrow. He saw Jiraiya talking to someone and walked over.
"Ero-sennin, what are you doing?" Naruto asked bringing Jiraiya's attention to him. The sannin's eyebrow twitched before he smacked Naruto up the head.
"You damn brat, I told you not to call me that!" Jiraiya yelled while Naruto rubbed his head.
"You don't have to hit me you damn pervert," Naruto said while Jiraiya sighed and turned back towards the man he was talking to.
"Sorry about that. Now then when would you like us to start guarding the treasury?" Jiraiya asked and Naruto turned to the man in formal clothing. He gasped when he realized that Jiraiya was talking to the Daimyou of Tea Country. Maybe the big building was his home. The Daimyou's always were fancy in most things.
"If at all possible I would like you to begin tonight. I don't want any of those ninja getting to my stuff. I've already received threats on a constant basis so I don't need to worry about anymore things while I rule this country," The Daimyou said and Jiraiya nodded while a Naruto watched the interaction between the two.
"Sounds like a real problem if their targeting the Daimyou only for his wealth. Maybe he did something," Kushina said startling Naruto which made him jump. He quickly turned around to see his mother and her smile, but he felt or rather could sense some sadness exuding from her and he knew it was his fault. Jiraiya seemed to know, but didn't say anything.
"I haven't done anything! I've only been in office for a few months," The daimyou said making Kushina sigh.
"Alright sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. Just wondering. So Jiraiya, when do we start?" Kushina asked and Jiraiya grinned like mad.
"Right now. We'll take a look at the interior of the place and we'll plan from there. If they try to come then we'll capture one person and have him lead us to the others," Jiraiya told them making Naruto and Kushina nod.
"Let me show you all inside," the leader of Tea Country said as Jiraiya followed him inside. Kushina was going to walk, but Naruto grabbed her hand making his mother look at him.
"Kaa-san listen I'm sorry I ran out like that. I, umm just wanted to tell you that," Naruto said and Kushina looked at him for a second. She could see he was really sorry, but he was also keeping something from her. Though she was happy that he was talking to her. The last thing she wanted for the both of them to feel any awkwardness between them.
"It's alright Naru-kun. I'm sorry if I did something to make you leave," Kushina said as she sent her son a sincere smile. Naruto nodded with his own foxy grin as they walked inside the building. The sight they were greeted to shocked them. The hallway was so exquisite and beautiful. Imported wood was used for most of it while chandeliers hug from the ceiling to light up the room. They saw Jiraiya's sandals at the doorstep and took off their shoes also.
After a bit of walking and admiring the place, Kushina and Naruto made it to Jiraiya who was sitting on the couch.
"Alright he has left us in charge of the place and went to bed. I told it'd be best if he went somewhere safe, but he said that this was the only place that felt that way so there was nothing I can do," Jiraiya said making Kushina and Naruto nod.
"So what's the plan?" Naruto asked ready to get the ball rolling. Jiraiya nodded and took out a map with the layout of the building.
"Well I can hold my own against these guys so you two will be a pair. From what the Daimyou told me they came at two major points. From the windows and the lower levels of the palace. Apparently his guards can't do anything to stop them so that's where we come in. I'll stop them at the lower levels if they go down there while you two guard the windows. Keep your guard up," Jiraiya said and furled up the scroll. Naruto and Kushina nodded while Jiraiya walked away.
"You know I feel sorry for anyone who fights you Kaa-san," Naruto said and Kushina grinned before putting her shoes back on along with Naruto.
"I suppose, but you better not slack off just because I can back you up," Kushina replied and Naruto rolled his eyes before nudging his mother's shoulder.
"Don't look down on me Kaa-san. Besides I'm no pushover," Naruto said and Kushina giggled.
"I suppose not. Well then Naru-kun get started. We don't want to let them know we're here," Kushina stated as she turned out the lights. Naruto nodded and took up a hiding spot while he sent clones to the other floors to monitor the windows in those places.
5 hours later
Naruto sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was late and they hadn't see any instance of activity. He saw Kushina sitting down next to him while she was reading a small book. Naruto glanced at it and saw it was about creating jutsus that went well with Kenjutsu. He had asked her earlier why she didn't go off with his clones or in an individual room to be sure no one was inside and Kushina told him that she was a talented sensor. She could sense even where Jiraiya was and she would know if someone was going to one of the other places.
"Say Kyuubi, can you sense anything?" Naruto asked making Kyuubi yawn while he tiredly opened one of his eyes.
"Yeah, their coming. Your mother's sensor abilities reach the next few rooms, but I can tell their outside. At least 10 are in front of the window. There are two were the perv is. Your lucky kit, the two below are A and B-ranked people. Anyone coming through the window is C-ranked which you'll be fine with dealing with or at least you should be," Kyuubi said turning silent. Naruto sighed and got to his feet making his mother take her eyes off her book.
"What's wrong Naru-chan?" Kushina asked trying out a new name for her son while Naruto grabbed his sword and tightened his grip.
"Kaa-san, get ready for a fight dattebayo," Naruto said grinning like mad while Kushina got to her feet. Her son pointed outside and Kushina concentrated her senses on that spot. She widened her eyes when she felt the ten chakra signatures that Kyuubi felt also. The redhead closed her book and put it away while she took out a kunai.
"It's been a while since I could do this. Let's see if I still got it," Kushina said to herself while Naruto unsheathed his sword. He felt a weird aura come off it and he looked at the summoning contract on his hand which glowed slightly before fading. Naruto narrowed his eyes and jumped to the ceiling while Kushina stayed behind a curtain.
After another few minutes, the windows opened and the enemy appeared. Naruto narrowed his eyes while he stayed to the ceiling. He had spent time with his mother on his chakra control and he got even better with it.
"Is everything ready? One of them asked the other. They had crossed out Kiri headbands so that was obvious for the moment.
"Yep, those damn guards got what they deserved. Now let's raid this place then we burn it like all the others. I don't see why we need those other eight guys. We're more than enough to handle this," The other said making the older one narrow his eyes.
"Stop complaining and get the job done. We have to raid this place before the Daimyou wakes up. Who knows who he sent after our last two attempts were your fault," he said.
"Hey it wasn't my fault. Those damn guards snuck up on me and I had to kill them. Don't blame me," the younger said while the older sighed.
"Whatever let's just go now," He said as he reached for the door that was connected to the hallway, but before he could turn the knob Naruto jumped down and kicked him away into the wall surprising the two.
"Your a little late to be trying anything with us. Now why don't you get lost before I kick your asses," Naruto said making Kushina smile behind the curtain. She wouldn't come out just yet. She just wanted to see how well Naruto could actually do for now with the seals on.
"Well looks like we have a brat trying to be tough. And he's a ninja how nice. I knew today would be different," one of the bandits said and Naruto grinned. He might have been feeling weighed down, but that wouldn't affect him for a little while. Naruto took the offensive stance that his mother taught him while the two missing nin took out two chakra blades.
"So it's gonna be a sword fight huh? Well kid your out of luck. We were runner-ups in becoming some of Kiri's swordsmen. Even you should know how good Kiri is with their swords," The two chunin level nin said and Naruto narrowed his eyes. He didn't care about any of that. Besides he was being trained by an kenjutsu legend and that was more than enough for him.
"Well then why don't you show me how good you are right now!" Naruto yelled as he sent chakra to his feet and dashed at them. The younger chunin blocked Naruto's strike with his blade and tossed a kick at the blonde and Naruto widened his eyes in a sudden realization. This guy was slow. Too slow. Naruto could dodge so easily. His mother was so much faster and stronger. The blonde ducked under the kick before he sent his sword at the man's side, but he was stopped by the other chunin nin and narrowed his eyes.
"Well at least you can move well," The guy said and Naruto grinned. He saw his mother watching him from behind the curtain and was going to show her that he would improve.
"Well thank you. I have a great sensei," Naruto replied dug into his pouch and threw a kunai at the older bandit making the man duck. The blonde then turned and kicked the younger one out the window making all their allies gasp as he was sent crashing into the ground.
"What the hell was that!" someone yelled while everyone saw Naruto jump out of the palace. The blonde grinned and turned to the older one.
"Aren't you going to come at me also?" Naruto asked making the man grit his teeth before he chuckled with a vein in his head.
"Cheeky bastard," the guy said as his chakra blade glowed blue. This was the finest chakra blade he could get. It would make short work of the blonde idiot's sword.
Naruto jumped into the air and threw a flame-tag kunai at the man , but he dodged it easily as the kunai embedded itself on the wall. After a few seconds, it exploded sounding the alarms throughout the palace. Naruto crossed his fingers and yelled.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," The blonde yelled making three clones.
"Get the daimyou out of the building. I'll handle this," Naruto said to his clones. They nodded and ran off before he heard the two others smirk.
"Kid your way out of your league. In case you don't know it, but your surrounded," The man said and Naruto narrowed his eyes allowing his hair to cover over them.
"Not really. It's just you two and me. Kaa-san can take care of the rest," Naruto said making the two men laugh out loud.
"Oh this kid is funny. He still needs his momma to do things for him. To think I almost respected him," the older guy said while the younger laughed. Naruto just kept up his grin as he saw someone sheath their sword
"That wasn't any fun at all dattebane," Kushina said as the two turned around to see all eight of their comrades on the ground while the redhead flipped her hair.
"I should've gone with Jiraiya. Maybe he's having fun right now," Kushina said making the two grit their teeth as Naruto's sword glowed. The blonde raised an eyebrow and the summoning contract on his hand glowed even more making the blonde shield his eyes.
Kushina stared at Naruto's sword and so did the two chunin level bandits as Naruto closed in on them. His hair covering his eyes. His body wasn't radiating any KI and yet he had the feeling of death all around him. Naruto raised his head showing his eyes to be slightly silver along the outside of his cerulean eyes. He bit his thumb and traced it over his seal.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto said and he didn't have to turn around. The reactions from the two were enough to know they were staring at the Shinigami.
"What is this kid?" the older one said while Shin turned to Naruto.
"Time for you to learn the first part of being a human shinigami," Shin said and Naruto nodded. The blonde dashed forward with his sword, but the two guys blocked it before Naruto landed to the ground. He felt so light on his feet right now. It was like his mother's seals weren't even affecting him in the least. Naruto appeared behind the two while he slashed his sword forward. The younger brother blocked the blonde's attack, but something was wrong. Their swords were the best and Naruto's sword wasn't supposed to be this good against a Kiri sword. It should've broke long ago.
"What is that sword made out of?" The younger said as he backflipped away from the blonde. He huffed and Naruto's smile widened. It wasn't evil, but it was good. It was the smile of someone just happy to be living. The blonde turned to his surprised mother and grinned.
"Kaa-san, I'm going to keep improving and I'm gonna show you how good I am," Naruto said as he blurred out of sight. He wasn't sure what it was, but Shin was affecting him in some way. Even Kyuubi was up and watching the fight unfold. Naruto appeared behind the younger nin and his sword pierced his stomach. The older shinobi gasped as Naruto twisted the sword through the younger one's body as he separated it. Kushina widened her eyes as she saw a small white humanoid looking thing next to Naruto.
"Slice through it Naruto-sama. This is the first step to being a human shinigami," Shin said and Naruto did so. He slashed through the figure and before long it was absorbed into his sword while the man's body dropped to the floor. Naruto's sword glowed even more and the blonde smiled.
"You! What did you do!" The older nin asked and Naruto was more than happy to reply to him.
"I sealed his soul into my sword. I see what Shin meant when he said that he wouldn't be using his blade anymore. His sent that energy into my sword and now my sword is the essence of the Shinigami. Or the Sword of Death," Naruto said making the man grit his teeth.
"Damn you! Damn you to hell!" He said as he dashed at Naruto. The blonde brought his sword back and closed his eyes.
"Your already there dattebayo," the blonde said calmly and slashed forward. He opened his eyes to see the soul of the bandit in front of him and grinned. When he was younger, he remembered Sarutobi talking with some Anbu in his office about a certain jutsu involving the Shinigami. Naruto was real good at hiding since he could outrun anbu even with his kill-me orange jumpsuit. So Naruto slapped his hands together.
"I'm new to it, but this might work. Fuinjutsu: Shiki Fujin," Naruto yelled and Shin gave a small smirk. The brat was full of surprises.
"So you heard of that jutsu. Normally I'd take your soul, but our contract states I can't so your free," Shin said as he grabbed the soul of the man and sealed it into the pot, never to be revived again.
The area was vacant while Naruto turned to the Shinigami.
"So are you going to train me now?" Naruto asked and the Shinigami looked at the sword in the blonde's hand.
"That's right. You've passed. I wanted you to use the blade as a rite of passage. Now your training will begin," Shin said and Naruto nodded before the spirit disappeared. Naruto turned to his shocked mother who still couldn't get over it. Her son was the summoner to the Shinigami. The thought itself was scary enough. Kushina walked up to her son and looked at him.
"You're just full of surprises," Kushina said and Naruto looked at the ground. He sheathed his sword like he was almost disappointed in himself for doing this in front of his mother.
"You aren't mad at me?" Naruto asked. The last thing he wanted was for his mother to reject him also because of another scary power than came to him. His reply was Kushina bringing him into a tight hug making the blonde gasp.
"How could I be mad at my son? I was a little worried about you, but you handled everything perfectly. Never think I hate you Naru-kun. Your my son after all. Your kenjutsu could use some work, but you did it," Kushina said and Naruto wrapped his arms around his mother.
"cough cough, are we having a moment?" Jiraiya said shocking the two. He had two tied up people and sighed. He never thought they'd be that easy. They were supposed to be A-ranked missing nin, but as Jiraiya had found out they were only lying so no one would get in their way. Bunch of idiots, no wonder Jiraiya took them down so fast.
"Was that it? I mean where done right?" Naruto asked and Jiraiya nodded while rubbing the back of his head.
"Well let's just be happy that we got through everything without a hitch. I saw Naruto's clones rescue the daimyou. He's outside at the moment so let's take these two to him and he'll decide what happens," Jiraiya said and the two Uzumaki nodded and went to the daimyou.
They saw the man out in his lawn and came to him.
"Here you go Daimyou-sama. It didn't take long as we thought it would. They were just some shinobi bandits all around chunin level. Here are the two leaders of the assault," Jiraiya said and the daimyou got up.
"Thank you Jiraiya-sama. I'll go inform Hokage-sama of this success when I send a messenger to Konoha," the Daimyou said making Jiraiya, Kushina and Naruto bow with their thanks as they left.
"So what now?" Naruto asked making Jiraiya scoff.
"I'm going to bed. You can do whatever you want brat," Jiraiya replied heading for the hotel. Meanwhile Kushina and Naruto stayed out in the streets just watching the old sage retire to his room.
"Anything you want to do Kaa-san?" Naruto asked and Kushina shrugged her shoulders. She then yawned and Naruto grinned.
"I guess it's late. Let's go to bed," Naruto said and opened to door. Kushina followed him and the night was laid away by the group of three and them completing their first mission together.
Next Morning
"Come on Naru-kun. Your kenjutsu is good, but it still leaves room for improvement," Kushina said and Naruto sighed for like the tenth time since they woke up. This just wasn't fair at all. Jiraiya had gone off somewhere while Kushina and Naruto continued with the blonde's lesson in kenjutsu and taijutsu.
"Kaa-san, your not fair at all," Naruto said laying on the ground. Kushina giggled a little more while the sweat dropped of Naruto's face. Kushina laid next to Naruto and watched him relax from her training. She could only imagine him in the next few years. He'd be quite the man when she was done with him. It was then that Kushina smelled something and her nose pinpointed it to Naruto. She was smelling her son's sweat from their training. He had a weird smell to his body, but it was intoxicating to her. The redheaded habanero caught herself and stood to her feet. What was she doing? She couldn't be acting like this.
Naruto turned to see his mother looking weird and raised an eyebrow.
"Kaa-san are you alright ?" Naruto asked and Kushina slightly jumped from his question.
"Yes Naruto I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Kushina countered and Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Well you breathing heavily and you didn't call me...never mind," Naruto said as he whistled away. Kushina glared at her son for a bit before she sighed.
"Sorry I'm probably just thinking too much," she replied and Naruto seemed to accept that for the moment. Naruto then just laid in the plains and sighed.
"Kaa-san, I'm glad your back," Naruto said and Kushina wondered what brought that one, but she didn't complain about it at all. Despite her thinking, she hugged Naruto making the blonde widen his eyes.
"Well we have you to thank for that. Trust me Naruto-kun, I'm not going anywhere," Kushina said and Naruto knew that she wasn't lying. She was too much of a woman to do that.
"Thank you Kaa-san, when we go back to Konoha what are you going to do?" Naruto asked her and Kushina put the tip of her finger before smiling.
"Oh I'm gonna pay a visit to Tsunade. Get some explanations and maybe get you to our house in Konoha which I told them you should get, but apparently no one listened," Kushina said with a dark chuckle. Naruto gulped before Kushina stood to her feet.
"Well sochi come on. We've got two years to make this work and I'm gonna teach you until you can't move," Kushina said and Naruto sighed. That was his mother and he wasn't complaining.
Two Years Later
"Sigh, how long am I gonna be writing these damn documents. I swear this job doesn't get any easier," Tsunade said slumping her shoulders. It was then that Shizune came through the door with a smile.
"Today's the day isn't it Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked and Tsunade grinned. She looked out the window and off into the distance.
"Time for that brat to come home? That's right. My stress is totally going to increase, but I don't understand this note that Jiraiya sent me," Tsunade said giving it to Shizune to read.
"To Tsunade,
Tsunade-hime I'm glad I got to you. We're arriving to Konoha soon and I just want to tell you one thing. RUN! She's coming! Get out of there NOW! This is the bad day to be you. I got my beating now it's your turn, but RUN!
Jiraiya"
Shizune looked at the note and raised an eyebrow.
"Sounds like your in danger," Shizune said while Tsunade scoffed.
"Like anything could be dangerous to me. Did you forget who I am?" Tsunade asked while Shizune shook her head at her master. She was still gonna be weary of this note just in case.
"Well anyway, I guess it's time to go," Tsunade said getting up from her seat and walking for the door.
"That's right. We can't keep them waiting can we?" Shizune asked as she left also.
Near Konoha
Three people were walking towards Konoha. One was the more recognizable Jiraiya in his usual clothes. The next was a woman about thirty who was wearing a long sleeve blouse with a T-shirt under it. Her hair was red and slid down her slender form. It was Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's mother and speaking of the blonde Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. He was now taller with his blonde hair showing two small bangs on the side of his face. He was wearing a black obi shirt and black pants. On his arm wear small black guards that covered that portion of his arm and the seal over his hand. It was all complete with an orange sash that was wrapped around his waist and some black shoes. On his right was his sword that he had used for those two years.
"Finally back. Man this place hasn't changed at all," Naruto said as they came up to the village gates. The two gate guards Izumo and Kotetsu looked up and smiled.
"Hey isn't that-" Izumo started, but didn't finish as he got a nod from his buddy Kotetsu.
"That's right, but who's the woman with him?" Kotetsu asked, but Izumo shook his head.
"It really hasn't changed at all. Well except for the Hokage faces, but that's to be expected right Naru-kun?" Kushina asked getting a nod from Naruto as they walked through the village.
With Sakura
Sakura continued to walk through the village on a supply check for Tsunade and went about her way until she saw her master and Shizune walking towards the village gates.
"Tsunade-sama, Shizune-san where are you going?" Sakura asked making Tsunade and Shizune gasp at her which in turn made Sakura raise an eyebrow.
"What did I say?" Sakura asked and Shizune giggled while Tsunade shook her head.
"Don't you know what today is?" Tsunade asked and Sakura narrowed her eyes. She thought it over for a second and after some though she widened her eyes in realization before slumping her shoulders.
"How could I forget that? Is he here yet?" Sakura asked and Tsunade grinned like mad while shrugging her shoulders.
"Not sure, but he'll be here soon," Tsunade said and she, Shizune, and Sakura walked off towards the gates of Konoha.
With Naruto
The group of three continued to walk the trees as Naruto took in the sites. He saw nothing had changed at all since he was last here.
"Hey look it's boss," someone said and Naruto turned around to see Konohamaru and his group right along with Tsunade, Shizune, and Sakura.
"Hey Konohamaru, how you been?" Naruto asked as he ruffled his hair. Konohamaru grinned as he hugged his rival.
"I've been good," he responded making Naruto smile.
"Hey brat. You've grown up. Not to mention your fashion sense has really improved," Tsunade said while Naruto grinned like mad. He brushed a hand through his hair and smiled.
"Well I thought it deserved a change," Naruto said making Tsunade nod. It was then that they heard chuckling which made Naruto and Jiraiya gulp. Tsunade turned to the woman next to Naruto and widened her eyes.
"Finally. I finally get to see you. How have you been Tsunade? Please come over here so I can...talk with you about something," Kushina said sharpening her blade while Tsunade backed away. Shizune gasped while Sakura raised and eyebrow.
"Who's this? And why is she holding her sword like that?" Sakura asked while everyone backed away from the KI that was penetrating the air making it thick.
"Two years. I've waited for two years to see you Tsunade and I just want to catch up right?" Kushina asked while Tsunade turned to Jiraiya who simply bowed to her and wished her luck.
"But how? Y-You should b-be-,"
"Dead, well that's an interesting story for another time. Now then you with the pink hair, please move right now," Kushina said advancing on Tsunade while Sakura got a tick mark.
"Hey listen, you can't talk to Tsunade-sama like that!" Sakura said while Tsunade, Jiraiya, Naruto and Shizune were mentally yelling for Sakura to shut her trap for once. Kushina turned to Sakura who steeled her gaze at the redhead narrowed her eyes.
"S-Sakura-chan maybe you should get out of the way now," Naruto said while Sakura gazed over at him.
"Shut it Naruto-baka. I don't need your advice to handle this," Sakura said and the air just got colder around her. Kushina chuckled even more as she found a secondary target.
"Your Sakura aren't you?" Kushina asked and Sakura nodded still locking eyes with the woman.
"That's right," She said while Kushina took a deep breath and cracked her neck.
"Okay that's all I wanted to know," Kushina said as she unsheathed her sword. The entire village watched the two square off and Kushina smiled.
"Then I'll have to tell you this. In my presence don't call my son an idiot and if you ever hit him again like I've been told then...I'll kill you," Kushina said in the simplest tone which made Sakura gulp and she realized that her life was in danger.
"Now then as I was saying. Tsunade, tell me why you didn't tell Naruto about his heritage and tell me why he's not living at our house like I told you and Sarutobi AND tell me why you didn't help raise him like you and Jiraiya said you would?" Kushina said while Tsunade backed away. She turned to Shizune for help, but she was on the other side of the road and Tsunade gasped before turning back.
"N-Now K-K-Kushina, I don't k-know how your back, but l-let's c-calm down and talk this out okay?" Tsunade asked while Kushina stopped walking.
"I just met you, but the time for talk is over. Now is the time for punishment. Jiraiya received his and now you will receive yours. You can run, but I will catch you," Kushina said and on that note Tsunade added chakra to her feet and jumped off, but she was quickly brought back by a chain attached to her leg as it slowly pulled her back.
"See I said you could run, but now your so kind as to stay. How noble of you Tsunade. Now then please let's go somewhere and 'talk'," Kushina said as she walked away and into a small alleyway. Tsunade's teeth chattered against each other as she was dragged away.
"Shizune help me!" Tsunade yelled out, but Shizune gulped and bowed.
"Forgive me Tsunade-sama," Shizune said quietly as the small darkness overwhelmed the alleyway.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tsunade yelled making the entire village shiver.
"Naruto who is that woman?" Sakura asked trying to stop her body from shaking while Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head along with Shizune and Jiraiya who were praying to Kami for Tsunade's safety.
"She's...my mother. Kushina Uzumaki or the Red Death of Konoha," Naruto said and Sakura widened her eyes.
"She's way out of my league," Sakura thought as the various screams of Tsunade filled the village. Yep, Naruto was back in Konoha and he brought a big surprise to them.
