KG: Breaks finally here. I can type as I want! Also...I got a girlfriend! YEAH!
Yura: Oh? And who might that be huh? The only person you've ever kissed was me.
KG: You'd which Yura. Besides...she's coming over today. So would you be so kind as to go somewhere else?
Naruto: You've got some nerve.
KG: Hey I'm not the motherfucker here.
Naruto: Shut it!
Kushina: So, who is this girlfriend?
Mikoto: And we mean girlfriend. Not a girl who's your friend. That's weird.
Sasuke: Damn straight.
KG: Why should you all care?
Yuri: Because we're bored. So what is she?
KG: Blonde. One of the hottest females that I know of also.
Everyone: this person is from a game aren't they?
KG: SHUT UP! Now then. While we're waiting I'll type.
Hinoken Training Ground
Mikoto, Kushina, Naruto, Sasuke, Yugao and Kakashi were all sitting in a circle near the house as the last of the members seemed to be in deep thought.
Kakashi didn't know what to believe about this. The Shinigami had just told him that Obito was alive. It couldn't be. He had seen his friend get crushed by that large boulder while they rescued Rin. It just didn't make any sense about how he survived it. He had said that half of his body had been crushed. Who walks away from that?
"Alright on Tsunade's request we will all return to Konoha and see what Mikoto can tell her. I'm sure she'll want answers for it, but we don't even know what Hizashi said to Tsunade much less what he thinks," Kushina said rubbing her soft red hair while everyone else nodded.
"I'll admit that I spent some time talking with Hizashi Hyuuga , but I didn't think he'd reference me about it," Mikoto answered back and Naruto slumped.
"I'm sorry guys, but maybe it's time that I just told Baa-chan. It's like Yugao-chan said. She might make it a secret. I don't want anyone getting into trouble over what I started," Naruto said and everyone glanced at him before Sasuke smirked.
"She did say that we answer to no one that one time remember," he slightly joked and that easily got a laugh out of some of them.
"Sasuke has a point," Kushina giggled along with Mikoto and Naruto. Yugao merely snickered and Kakashi gave n eyesmile.
"But I don't think that meant to keep things from her. Even this. Sochi, are you sure you can tell her?" Kushina asked and Naruto gave a very hesitant nod while everyone couldn't even imagine the pressure being put on him. Just lying to the Hokage was worthy of execution, but as Naruto claimed he couldn't die. That didn't mean that other methods couldn't be used.
"I'm sure Kaa-chan. Come on, let's get going," Naruto said standing to his feet and walking off. Everyone glanced at Kushina who nodded and they decided to get ready to go.
With Naruto
The blonde could still hear the sounds of construction going on in Uzugakure and it was beginning to take shape as it was nothing like seeing it for the first time. Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"What do you think Baa-chan will do to me?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi yawned before rubbing his head.
"At worst she'll send you flying right back towards this island, but I doubt she'll kill you. Or even attempt to. Don't sell her short brat. Not that I'm one to care about such things," Kyuubi said and Naruto couldn't help, but agree as he turned his head and smiled seeing Yura teaching Yuri the basics for a suiton jutsu. The blonde decided to pop by before leaving.
"Working hard you two?" Naruto asked making Yura turn to the blonde. Yuri gave a smile while wiping some sweat off her face.
"Of course we are Nii-sama. I'm not gonna have Yuri slack on her training," Yura said and Naruto chuckled with a nod while Yuri walked up to him and grabbed his hand. She gazed at it, mainly the seal, and smiled.
"I'm gonna work hard Nii-san. So that you won't be sad about using that contract. We don't hate you. Right Nee-chan?" Yuri asked and Naruto stared at Yura who was slightly blushing while coughing lightly.
"At least you're using it right. I also heard from Kushina-san. You six are going back to Konoha aren't you?" Yura asked and Naruto nodded while his smile lessened and both girls took notice, but didn't say anything.
"That's right. I'll be gone for a few days. Don't worry, I'll be back for you both," Naruto said quickly wrapping his arms around Yuri in ah hug making the two widen their eyes. Yuri soon returned the hug and Naruto smiled before turning to Yura.
"Room for one more?" he asked and Yura's blush deepened a little more before she huffed and turned around.
"You'll be back. I know that much baka Nii-sama," Yura muttered to herself before ordering Yuri back to her proper position for more training as Naruto walked off.
The blonde sighed again before he turned to his room and quickly packed some things. He wasn't sure just how much he would need so he opted for the standard equipment. He looked over everything he needed and closed his eyes feeling two presences behind him.
"You don't have to sneak up on me. Not that you could," Naruto said while Haku and Zabuza came up behind him. The former chuckled while the latter grumbled.
"Don't get all high and mighty brat. If I didn't want you to then you wouldn't have noticed me at all. Hmph why someone like you is my superior I don't know," Zabuza said before Haku gently nudged her surrogate father in the stomach.
"I see, well I noticed you and that's all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less. Haku, Zabuza while I'm gone, please watch over Yura and Yuri as well as the rest of Wave's people. Both girls need teachers and while Yura is good, well very good, she still loose in some things. Can you do that?" Naruto asked and Zabuza snorted.
"I don't know which is the bigger insult, me taking orders from a brat or me being ordered to teach brats. Ugh, yeah we can get it done," Zabuza said while Haku snickered.
"I believe also Naruto-san. Leave everything to us while you go. We'll make sure to keep this place safe as well as train Yura and Yuri," Haku said effectively making Naruto smile.
"Alright, thank you Haku-chan and you too Zabuza. I'm going to go now," Naruto said taking his clothes and walking out of the door. Haku and Zabuza glanced at each other while the former frowned.
"Did you notice Zabuza-sama?" Haku asked and the Demon of the Mist nodded his head.
"Yeah, something got him in a mood. He didn't look at either of us while we were talking. He must be afraid of something. Though I wouldn't know what," Zabuza said and Haku sighed with a nod before they left as well.
A little later
All the members of Hinoken appeared in front of the Uzugakure gates with Yura and Yuri waving goodbye to them.
"Safe travels you guys," Yuri said and everyone nodded their heads while Yura turned to Naruto. She walked up and soon poked him in the chest making the blonde pay attention to her.
"Be safe. Please and don't do anything reckless that you don't need to," Yura said and Naruto nodded his head with a soft smile. Everyone glanced at the two and unknown to them all, Kushina grinned while putting a finger to her chin.
"Hmm so I'm not the only immoral person here huh?" Kushina snickered to herself before they all shunshined out of sight to get going towards Konoha.
In a place near Konoha
Sakura, Sai and Yamato were currently sitting in the dark while going over some coordinates. It wouldn't be long before they would be able to find the location of the fire temple along with its priest. It was a recent mission given by Tsunade, but they were still quite a few days away from the spot of arrival.
"How much long Yamato-sensei?" Sakura asked clearly impatient with the pace they were going at. Sai was easily doing his drawings like normal while sighing and Yamato smiled before eating a piece of sushi for dinner.
"Come on Sakura. We'll be there soon. Or...should I force you to relax?" Yamato asked making his face scary with a flashlight. Sakura gulped and backed away while rubbing the back of her head.
"N-No that's fine. Hehe Damn that Draconian Method," she said with the last part to herself. Yamato merely smiled with a nod and leaned back while continuing to eat as Sai snickered.
"Well Sakura I guess that unlike your breasts then your brain must be growing to know that you should be scared of Yamato-sensei," Sai said and Sakura growled before huffing her annoyance of Sai and his freakin' attitude.
"I'm totally gonna punch that asshole when I get the chance. Dammit," Sakura said to herself before going to rejoin her team under the campfire. Who knows how long it would be till they would get to the place.
With Hinoken, three days later
Naruto and the others were currently sleeping on the ground in Hi no Kuni. It would be tomorrow that they would return to Konoha in the afternoon, but they all decided to take a break and simply not rush to have Naruto tell Tsunade and allow him the time to gather his thoughts.
Naruto opened his eyes and leaned up from a tree. He later yawned and stretched his arms before getting to his feet. Naruto walked off into the woods and sighed as he came into a clearing. Naruto raised an eyebrow before noticing a lonely stump in the middle of said field. The blonde sat down and looked at the moon. He found its presence spectacular before rubbing the back of his head.
"Kyuubi, do you think that there is any meaning in death?" Naruto asked unexpected to the fox bijuu. Said bijuu glared open and looked at the moon through Naruto's vision. He might have been able to read the blonde's mind, but never his feelings.
"That's one question that even I can't answer brat. You're just going to have to come up with your own answer to that. It's not easy I'll tell you that much," Kyuubi said offering some advice that it could while Naruto merely nodded his head and sighed before he was broken from his stupor by a touch to his shoulder.
"What are you doing out here dobe? Sasuke asked and Naruto turned his head to the Uchiha before shaking his head.
"Just thinking about my meeting with Baa-chan. I wonder how she'll react to this," Naruto said and Sasuke groaned before punching Naruto in the shoulder.
"You'll deal with that when you get there. Don't be so down all the time. It's not you got it?" Sasuke asked and Naruto nodded his head with a grin and a nod before taking his sword into his hands. He watched it shimmer in the moonlight before throwing it up. Sasuke watched the sword twirl while Naruto held out his hand.
"It cuts my arm off and Tsunade-baachan will try to execute me. It misses and Baa-chan forgives me," Naruto said while Sasuke watched the sword fall. Naruto closed his eyes and submitted to luck. The Uchiha narrowed his eyes as the sword swung around Naruto's arm not touching it at all before it stuck to the ground. Naruto opened his eyes and smiled.
"Pretty stupid dobe. It could've cut you're arm off," Sasuke said and Naruto picked up the sword and nodded his head.
"Yeah, but it didn't dattebayo," Naruto said and Sasuke sighed with a mere nod and sat down next to Naruto.
"Hey Naruto. You've been going off on your own for the past few days. What have you been doing?" Sasuke asked and Naruto suddenly grinned while turning to Sasuke.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Naruto asked and Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the blonde Hinoken member.
"Tell me or not. I don't really care. Was just curious is all," Sasuke said and Naruto chuckled with a nod before his senses went to high alert as did Sasuke's. The two narrowed their eyes and stood to their feet.
"Did you feel that Sasuke?" Naruto asked and the Uchiha nodded his head. Before they quickly ran through the field. Naruto quickly jumped an avoided a fire kunai that exploded the stump next to them. Sasuke growled and flashed his sharingan fast before turning his head to find someone, but it was too dark and it could've come from anywhere. Sasuke immediately took out his sword and scanned the area while Naruto did the same.
"Do you see anything Sasuke?" Naruto asked keeping his guard up. The Uchiha shook his head quickly and Naruto growled before he noticed that the presence was gone. He looked down on the ground and saw a small paper tag. Naruto narrowed his eyes before he motioned for Sasuke. The Uchiha quickly walked over to the spot and knelt down next to Naruto.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked and Naruto held up the paper.
"Barrier seal. We're somewhere Sasuke. Next to something important," Naruto said to him and Sasuke folded his arms while looking around.
"That's right. The Fire Temple is near here," he said and Naruto quickly nodded his head before placing the paper now.
"Come on. Let's investigate. We'll go and inform Kaa-chan about our findings in a bit," Naruto said and Sasuke agreed. The two kept walking for a bit before they came up to a weird stone in the middle of the plains. Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other before they turned their heads to see a small opening. Naruto narrowed his eyes again before he fell through the hole and jumped to the ground.
"Naruto, you see anything?" Sasuke asked and Naruto shook his head.
"Not in the least Sasuke. Hold on," Naruto said taking out his sword and before long his body glowed in the white fire illuminating the hallways. Naruto smiled in relief to finally see and motioned for Sasuke to join him. So the Uchiha did. He jumped down and joined his teammate in the halls.
Naruto and Sasuke traversed the entire building looking at all the old ruins that could be seen. It seems more like a cemetery of some sort. Naruto looked around the entire room along with Sasuke.
"Burial tomb?" Naruto asked and Sasuke looked around as well. He could see some residual traces of chakra, but nothing more.
"More than likely it is, but someone was here," Sasuke said and Naruto could honestly agree before he stopped. Sasuke did the same and turned around to see Naruto closing his eyes. He could see the blonde channeling his Honshou to his eyes before opening them. Naruto glanced to the left and right and smiled. It was just as he thought. He could see a few souls lingering around the place. One seemed to be a woman or what he could make out of her. The blonde walked up to her while in Sasuke's eyes he was moving up to the wall.
"Hey," Naruto called out to the spirit, but she didn't turn around. The blonde sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey!" he yelled making her turn around along with the other spirits in the room.
"Noisy brat isn't it? Who's he calling?" one of them asked while Naruto growled.
"I heard that you damn soul. You want me to give you to Shin already?" Naruto asked and immediately the souls widened their eyes.
"He sees us? Then that's him. That's Shinigami-sama's summoner. It's Shikon-sama," one of them said and Naruto sweatdropped at the name, but he didn't have the time to care about it before he told the souls to line up. They all did without complaint since Naruto was considered a legend to all the spirits once Shin had made the announcement of his progression. They were all to treat him with the utmost respect since the blonde was the summoner of the dead.
"Listen up, do any of you know what this place is?" Naruto asked and all the souls looked at each other before turning back to the blonde.
"It's a burial tomb Shikon-sama. One of the four burial tombs of the Fire Temple. It might not concern you, but we saw a person come in here and take the corpse. Naturally we can't do anything so we thought we should inform you," the woman said and Naruto growled before he nodded and while thanking the spirits he sent them back to what they were doing.
"Grave robbers?" Naruto wondered before he motioned for Sasuke to follow him. Naruto picked up his pace and quickly entered the burial chamber. He noticed the place where the body was supposed to go, but it was gone.
"Sasuke, there's been a grave robbery," Naruto said and Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"How can you be so sure?" he asked and Naruto rubbed a hand through his hair.
"I asked the spirits around here and they said that they saw someone carrying the body away. It might be the same person who attacked us earlier. We'll have to report this to Kaa-chan and Baa-chan when we return," Naruto said and Sasuke couldn't agree more before he placed his hand on the burial stone. He quickly showed his sharingan again and looked over it.
"Naruto, there are traces of Doton elements here. This wasn't some rogue. This person knew what they were doing," Sasuke said and Naruto growled.
"Well we'll just have to stop them if we see them then return the body. Come on Sasuke, let's-," Naruto paused as he turned around to see a teenager about his age from across the hall. He wore a blue shoulder-length, dull grey, hair cut with one lock over his face. He wore what appeared to be monk robes along with a tri-bladed death claw.
Sasuke stared at him too and the boy glared at them both.
"Die," he said encasing his weapon in chakra. Naruto widened his eyes as he quickly pushed Sasuke out the way. Immediately the boy swung his weapon forward and Naruto was slammed into the wall by a gale of wind.
"Fuuton chakra?" Naruto wondered before he dropped to the ground. He growled lowly while Sasuke took out his sword and pointed it at the stranger.
"You just made a big mistake. One you won't live to regret," Sasuke said and before he got another smirk as the stranger's arm lit up with fuuton chakra.
"Take this. Juuha Sho( Beast Wave Palm)," He yelled making Naruto and Sasuke widen their eyes before they were both blasted out of the ceiling and into the air. The two Hinoken members backflipped while the monk looking boy jumped into the air. Naruto growled and quickly grabbed his sword also.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa," Naruto yelled sending the heavy wind gust towards the stranger knocking them into the plains. Naruto grinned like before grabbed Sasuke's arm. He twirled the Uchiha around before he sent him spinning into the air. Sasuke did his handsigns while he continued to spin and shouted.
"Katon: Nagare no Jutsu( Fire Release: Streaming Line Technique)," Sasuke said and the fires wrapped around his body before they were sent towards the stranger. The boy got up and backflipped away from the strike before he snickered. Naruto and Sasuke raised their eyebrows while he gazed at them.
"Repent. I'll give you three seconds," he said grinning while Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other. They narrowed their eyes before he sighed.
"Time's up. Now you die. Juuha Sho," He yelled sending more wind blades towards Naruto and Sasuke. The Uchiha and Uzumaki duo glanced at each other again and nodded while Naruto took a breath of air and swirled his sword around.
"Uzu no Fukushū: Henka Kaze no Jutsu( Whirlpool Revenge: Winds of Change Technique)," the blonde hollered and immediately the winds of the plains picked up before him and the blonde sent them all rushing while Sasuke finished his own.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu," Sasuke shouted and sent the blazing fire into the winds bringing a large fire over the field before it exploded. Sasuke and Naruto covered their eyes from the explosion and sighed.
"Why would a grave robber stay behind?" Naruto asked and Sasuke snorted.
"Cause he's too damn arrogant, but we remedied that," Sasuke said and Naruto nodded his head before they heard another noise. Naruto narrowed his eyes before they saw the stranger appear.
"Not bad, but this is where is ends," he said and Naruto chuckled with a nod.
"Yeah, for you," he said making the stranger raise an eyebrow before he heard swirling. He looked to his left to see two Naruto's holding a large rasengan as they charged him down.
"Oodama Rasengan," They both yelled before the boy used his blade claw and took a defensive pose. The two Narutos ran at him before the winds swirled around and slammed them while Naruto and Sasuke widened their eyes.
"Juuha Reppuu Shou( Beast Tearing Gale Palm)," he yelled and the two clones of Naruto gasped before they were sent flying from a large explosion making them dispel.
"Wow, he's tough," Naruto said and Sasuke couldn't help but agree before the boy raised his other arm. Naruto could feel the demonic power from it before there was a yell.
"Sora, stop!" someone yelled. Naruto and Sasuke turned their heads and noticed monks along with Sakura and two people Naruto didn't know coming up close. The blonde and brunette duo withdrew their swords before Sakura widened her eyes.
"Sasuke-kun, Naruto," she yelled waving to them both. The Uzumaki raised an eyebrow along with the Uchiha. Both sighed and rubbed the back of their heads and everyone closed in on the situation.
The older monk looked at Sora who rubbed the back of his head and scratched his cheek.
"Chiriku-sama, you were right to be worried. The barrier was broken, the tomb was open and I went to investigate. I found these two inside," Sora said making Naruto and Sasuke fold their arms. Naruto would've retorted, but he tried to maintain an air of professionalism.
"We wandered into the field. We felt a presence attack us and took our action. We investigated the tomb as well. We thought he was the robber," Naruto said and Chiriku nodded his head.
"You don't bare the Konoha headband," he said cautiously and Naruto narrowed his eyes along with Sasuke. The two were about to say something before someone spoke.
"Heavy accusation Chiriku. Especially to my son," Kushina said with her, Mikoto, Yugao and Kakashi drop to the ground. Sora wondered who some of these people were while Chiriku widened his eyes. He gulped before he walked forward.
"Kushina-sama!" Chiriku said making Yamato, Sakura and Sai confused. Naruto grinned as he turned around.
"Kaa-chan, how did you find us?" Naruto asked and Mikoto chuckled.
"With the loud explosions and that massive fire that we saw it was easy. Next time stay with the group," Mikoto said and Chiriku turned to Mikoto as well.
"Mikoto-sama also?" he asked while the two ladies smiled to their friend. Yeah they knew about Chiriku from when he was a lot younger. That aspiring monk that always trained hard.
"Nice to see you Chiriku. Now then, what's the accusation against my son?" Kushina asked and Chiriku widened his eyes as he turned to Naruto. The blonde raised an eyebrow before gulping.
"Sora suspected him and the younger Uchiha of grave robbery. It's something very serious that's been happening to the Fire Temple," Chiriku said while Kushina narrowed her eyes.
"I see. Well it sounds very serious doesn't it?" she asked and Chiriku nodded his head while Yamato coughed.
"Umm Kushina-san might I ask what you're doing out here?" Yamato asked while Kushina and Kakashi glanced at them.
"Sorry Yamato-san, but I'm not gonna answer that right now. Chiriku, mind taking us to the Fire Temple?" Kushina asked and Chiriku immediately nodded allowing Hinoken to follow after him along with the Konoha shinobi.
"Chiriku-sama!" one of the monks yelled making everyone stop. He turned to them and they reported the news.
"Kitane-sama's corpse is gone. Without a doubt. We have no idea where it could've gone," the monks said and Chiriku narrowed his eyes before lightly cursing.
"We must protect the other three. Make preparations immediately while I take them back to the Fire Temple," Chiriku said and the other two nodded before moving while Sora and the elder monk guided the others to the Fire Temple.
Hi no Kuni's Fire Temple
Naruto and the others took a long flight of stairs, but made it towards the top while Naruto and Sasuke stared in slight awe. They had never been to the fire temple before, but it seemed to amazing.
"Kushina-sama, Mikoto-sama please head into the meeting room. I'll join you slowly," Chiriku said and everyone nodded as they walked away. Naruto turned his eyes to see some of the elders talking with Chiriku, but before long he noticed them all glaring. He narrowed his eyes and watched them gaze hard at Sora. The blonde growled and balled his fists. He slowly stopped while others went ahead. He walked up to them as Sora walked off in a bad mood.
"Hey," he said to them and everyone turned to the blonde to see the coldness of them like they could only hope for death, but won't get it.
"Staring at someone is rude," Naruto told them all and looked at Sora before walking off. Unknown to him, Sora heard those words and widened his eyes before turning back to Naruto who was already gone.
Meeting Room
Naruto opened the sliding door and noticed everyone sitting around. Sasuke was between his mother and Sakura while Yugao, Kakashi and Yamato were sitting together. Sai was somewhat next to Kushina with an open spot next to her.
"Naruto, where have you been? Take your seat," Sakura said in an almost annoyed tone while Naruto glanced at her. He wouldn't normally care about what she was saying, but he saw Kushina motioning for him to hurry so the blonde did and sat next to her. He closed his eyes and folded his arms.
"Kaa-chan, where do you know this Chiriku guy from?" Naruto asked and Kushina turned to Mikoto. It seemed that everyone wanted to know as well so Kushina decided to indulge them a little.
"I know him because when he was younger he came to Konoha. It was around the time that Minato had just started being the Hokage. I trained him only slightly in some techniques that he asked me to show him. It was always 'When I grow up I'll become a great monk'. Mikoto you trained him too right?" Kushina asked and Mikoto rubbed the back of her head.
"A bit I guess. He wanted help so I gave it to him," Mikoto said while Sakura gasped.
"Naruto, Sasuke-kun your mothers know some amazing people," Sakura said and the two sons shrugged their shoulders at her words not really caring either way. Soon the door opened and Chiriku came through and sat down on the mat. He coughed and straightened up.
"While I'd like to reminisce I still have to give information. I'm glad that Konoha was able to respond to our request so quickly. I must tell you that this is very dangerous. They have taken the corpse of Kitane-sama as we were told. He along with the other tombs to the South, West and North lie Seito, Nauma, and Tou'u. They were a part of the organization the Twelve Ninja Guardians," Chiriku said and Naruto narrowed his eyes at the name.
"I remember that name. You guys are an organization that protects the Feudal Lord of Hi no Kuni. It would be a job for Konoha, but since we protect the whole country and not just the Feudal Lord then we leave it to you guys. Kaa-chan, remember when you told me that you were invited to join?" Naruto asked making Sakura, Sai and Yamato widen their eyes. Kakashi and Yugao raised their eyebrows while Mikoto chuckled.
"That's right Sochi. I was invited to join thanks to my skills and expertise. Hehe even Mikoto was invited to join," Kushina said and everyone turned to Mikoto who was blushing and rubbing the back of her head slightly.
"Really Kaa-san?" Sasuke asked as he hadn't known about this before, but Mikoto nonetheless nodded her head that she was in fact once invited to be a part of the organization.
"But we refused," Kushina said and soon the looks of admiration were changed to confusion as people wondered why. The Twelve Ninja Guardians were a famous platoon of people. Who wouldn't want to join?
"Why not?" Sakura asked and Chiriku sighed and looked at the ground while Kushina spoke.
"Because at the time, the nations were at war and all forces had to be expended. There was never a good opportunity. So we just refused it," Kushina said making everyone nod. Kakashi knew that they had been at war and, while Yugao was young, she knew about it as well when she was a genin.
"A trying time that I'm sure it was Kushina-sama, but still I must imagine that whoever stole the bodies must be planning something," Chiriku said and Yamato turned around.
"That's right. Asuma might know. He was also a member of the Twelve Ninja Guardians," Yamato said and everyone glanced at each other and whispered before Chiriku chuckled.
"Asuma huh? Has he been well?" he asked and Yamato nodded his head while Chiriku spoke.
"That's right, Asuma was among us. It was early in our life and we were young. A coup de' tat was planned against Fire Country. No one cared for peace by having individual nations. They only wanted peace under the nation of Konoha," Chiriku said and Sakura snorted.
"Selfish much?" she asked before people shushed her making the pink haired kunoichi blush in embarrassment.
"Asuma-san, myself, Tou'u, Nauma, Seito and Kitane all fought the traitors and we won, but we lost those four. Asuma and myself are all that's left of that generation," Chiriku said and Naruto growled.
"Stealing corpses and trying to revive the dead with their own power. Insolence," Naruto jumping to his feet surprising people. The members of Hinoken saddened at Naruto's look. The look of a personal summon being disrespected. It just wouldn't stand at all for the blonde.
"Naruto sit down!" Sakura shouted before she flinched from Naruto's glare. He opened the sliding door and immediately closed it while Kushina followed him soon after.
"Please continue. I'll relay the message to Kushina and Naruto," Kakashi said and Chiriku nodded.
With Naruto
The blonde was currently walking through the Temple of Fire and sighed again. People reviving the dead without consequence or payment. It just didn't feel right to the blonde. Shin was the god of Death. Stealing from him was just plain sick.
"I'll find who did this and I'll make them pay Shin," Naruto said before looking to the left and noticed people sparing. He quickly glanced at Sora watched him go through his katas. He raised an eyebrow and watched as Sora had a match with one of the younger monks. If you could even call it that. This guy was no match for Sora and while he got a few lucky hits, Naruto could tell that Sora was taking it easy.
"Hmm, well I don't have the time to deal with this or that crazy guy. I'll just do something about him later," Naruto thought to himself before he felt a pat on his shoulder.
"What's the matter Sochi? You seem upset," Kushina said and Naruto looked up at the moon in all its glory.
"Kaa-chan, those who take from Shin should know better. He's my summon. I can only imagine how he feels when people thing they can revive someone like that. It's just not right to me. I'm sorry if I stormed out," Naruto said and Kushina waved him off.
"It's alright. Besides, it seems that we're about to be informed soon," she said turning around.
"So what's the strategy?" Yamato asked and Kushina shook her head.
"You guys have to strategize. We have to go back to Konoha by tomorrow. Sorry, but we'll be back in a bit I'm sure. Perhaps tomorrow night for a plan, but right now our orders are important as well," Kushina said and everyone nodded their heads.
"Very well. Sakura, Sai come on and we'll talk," Yamato said while they nodded and walked off.
"Chiriku you take care. I'm sure we'll meet up with each other later," Kushina said and Chiriku nodded before the Hinoken members turned to leave. It would be a long day, but they would finally reach Konoha and tell Tsunade some news while they were at it.
Back in Uzushiogakure
Yura and Yuri were currently studying a scroll on suiton techniques from Zabuza and Haku who were calmly watching the two practice. Naturally they would spare with the sisters also. Yura would take Zabuza and Yuri would take Haku. Something about being fair to the gender.
"Alright brats. Take a break," Zabuza said walking off while Yura huffed and rubbed a hand through her soft red hair. She sighed and leaned against a tree.
"That guy is brutal. I swear he's out to get me," Yura said and Yuri chuckled while laying up also.
"He's not so bad nee-chan. I think he's just following Nii-san's orders. Speaking of Nii-san, why do you blush when you see him?" Yuri asked and Yura snorted.
"I don't. He's our family. We can't do anything," Yura said and Yuri pouted.
"Mou, nee-chan you need to be honest. Nii-san's cute. When he exposed his body to us I thought he was magnificent," Yuri said while Haku chuckled.
"No more manga for you," Yura said and Yuri visibly shook. Yuri without manga was...Naruto without ramen. It just wouldn't work.
"I bet if you got with Nii-san then he'd make you happy nee-chan. Don't you think?" Yuri asked and Yura merely turned over and huffed.
"Just rest Yuri. We'll talk about this later," Yura said and Yuri silently chuckled with a nod of her head.
"Nee-chan and Nii-san sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-," Yuri sweatdropped when Yura stretched her shoulders and smiled forcefully.
"Ahh rest felt good. Ne Yuri, let's have a spar. Right now!" Yura shouted as she chased Yuri around the compound making Haku laugh at them both and their antics before she did wonder what the others were doing since she hadn't seen them for a few days.
With Hinoken, Hokage Mansion
Tsunade was currently doing her paperwork like normal. The mission report from Yamato about arriving to the Fire Temple proved to be a great success. She didn't know how well this would turn out, but she could at least be happy with everything. That was until Naruto and the others dropped from the ceiling.
"All present and accounted for Hokage-sama," Kushina said dropping down along with everyone else. They all smiled and waved and Tsunade nodded.
"Very good all of you. Now then Mikoto, I would like to know the details of this "mission" that Sarutobi-sensei had you going on right n-,"
"Baa-chan," Naruto interrupted bringing everyone to him. Tsunade glanced at him and the blonde looked at the ground. They all looked at him and Tsunade sighed.
"What is it Naruto?" Tsunade asked rather impatiently, but she could deal if it was Naruto. So the young blonde walked up and while Mikoto put her hand on his shoulder Naruto shook his head and took it off. He didn't want to lie anymore. Not to Tsunade, not for this.
"Baa-chan, please we need to talk. This is top secret and on my life please listen to me," Naruto said and Tsunade narrowed her eyes. She leaned back into her chair and nodded. Naruto sighed and gulped.
"I would also like it if...the anbu weren't present. I want no one present. Just you and me," Naruto said and Tsunade raised an eyebrow to Naruto's request. The blonde's eyes seemed to be pleading with her on it and Tsunade bit her lip. She had never seen Naruto so anxious before, but sighed.
"Naruto, how serious is this?" Tsunade asked and Naruto felt like his world could be crashing down at the moment.
"Kyuubi-class secret," Naruto said and Tsunade narrowed her eyes dangerously at the blonde, but Naruto glared right back and Tsunade sighed.
"Then Naruto, I can't take them out. You know how crucial the anbu are. Just tell me," Tsunade said and Naruto bit his lip. He was really going to curse, but didn't and sighed.
"I'm so gonna regret this," Naruto said to himself before nodding.
"Alright then Baa-chan. Guys, can you leave?" Naruto asked and everyone filed out the room giving Naruto and Tsunade their privacy. Even the anbu in the room were wondering what the blonde would have to say while Naruto bowed and kept his head low to the ground.
"Baa-chan, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry dattebayo," Naruto said and Tsunade narrowed her eyes.
"What are you sorry for?" she asked and Naruto leaned up. He took off his black shin guard and gulped.
"I'm sorry because I lied to you. I lied about everything that had to do with this seal," Naruto said and Tsunade looked at it. The anbu in the room tensed at those words. Lying was death by law or at least by Hokage's orders. It might even be imprisonment. Tsunade glanced at it and pounded the desk.
"What do you mean you lied?" she asked visibly angry. Naruto nodded and began.
"I lied about Kaa-chan coming back, I asked Mikoto-chan to lie also. I asked Hiashi Hyuuga, Hinako Hyuuga and Hizashi Hyuuga to keep quiet. I also have the reason why Sasuke came back willingly. Everything that I've done was a lie to you," Naruto said and Tsunade stood to her feet. She wanted to be angry, but the look of pressure on Naruto's face as well as his contemplative look made her settle down.
"You know the consequences right?" she asked and Naruto nodded his head.
"I know, but please Baa-chan. Before I do get sent away just let me explain why. I know you might not trust me knowing all of this now, but I'm here to tell you now on my loyalty as a Konoha shinobi that this is all 100% truth," the blonde said in absolute conviction. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him and leaned back. Mentally she smiled, something about him always made her calm down even when angry.
"This talk Naruto," Tsunade said sighing and the blonde raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?" he asked in confusion and Tsunade clarified.
"This talk will decide everything. Wether you continue to be a shinobi or not. Whether you're branded a traitor or not. Whether you go to prison or not. Also...whether I trust you again or not," Tsunade said and Naruto immediately agreed. He also noticed that she didn't say whether he'd die or not. Not that that would matter really.
"Understood Baa-chan. You will have questions in the end, but let me do the story," Naruto said and Tsunade nodded. So...Naruto told her everything and he meant everything. He told her that he should've died in Final Valley. He told her about meeting the Shinigami in his mindscape. He told her about trading barbs with him about his life and saying that he could live since Shin found him interesting and explained to the blonde the contract. How he could revive a person per two sacrifices and he would follow Jiraiya's option for peace in the world. He said that he revived his mother by killing two bandits. He revived Gaara who had originally died from the Akatsuki. He revived Hinako for Hiashi. He revived Mikoto for Sasuke telling the Uchiha that if he came back to Konoha then he would be able to have his mother. He also told how he revived Hizashi for Neji.
He also told how he was beginning his training to be the Shinigami's true summoner. He had revived Zabuza and Haku and he told her about his ability with the Honshou which was Kami's term for "chakra" of the gods. He even told her why he didn't say anything and his fears of Konoha spreading about his contract since this stemmed from the Kyuubi incident. Naruto left nothing out. He said everything to her and finally he stopped.
"That's everything," Naruto said and Tsunade narrowed her eyes. It was all starting to make sense now. Well sort of, Naruto was trying to make people happy by returning their loved ones. Any orphan would want to see their parents. Sasuke would come back if he knew Mikoto was alive. Hiashi might actually smile of Hinako was round and the same could be said for Neji and Hizashi.
The anbu in the room seemed...skeptical of it all. No way would the god who rules over all of death would bind a contract with a mortal. It just wasn't possible. This had to be a lie, but the massive look of confidence across Naruto's face told them that he was very far from lying about this.
"You expect me to believe that?" she asked and Naruto shook his head.
"I don't expect you to believe it. I hope that you do and I hope that you trust me when I tell you that," Naruto said and Tsunade massaged her temples. This just wasn't the time to hear something like this.
"Naruto, how can I believe you now? Give me some proof," Tsunade said and Naruto nodded his head. He sighed and undid his shirt. He quickly took it off showing Tsunade his body. She would've scolded him if not for her and the anbu gazing at the intricate sealing done across his arm. It went from his hand to his arm and then covered the side of his chest right down to where it almost touched the seal for the Kyuubi. Tsunade glanced at the entire thing.
"The seal is progressing Baa-chan and I'm progressing with it. Recently I received a boost. Shin said that before I was a Tamashi and now I'm a Shikon. I still don't know what this means, but I trust him. Also this is my last piece of evidence," Naruto said biting his thumb and tracing it over the seal.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto yelled and the seal glowed for a little while like normal before fading. Tsunade stared around the room and before long the entire place was covered in a choking KI that almost brought Tsunade to the floor. The anbu in the room gasped and felt like they couldn't breathe. The air was so tight.
"Shin stop it please. I'm walking on thin ice as it is," Naruto said and immediately the room returned to normal and everyone could breathe again. Tsunade stood to her feet and glanced at Naruto before widening her eyes in realization. The floating white specter with his purple face and solid stare were enough to send anyone over the edge. Tsunade placed up a handsign and yelled.
"Kai," she said out of habit making Naruto sweatdrop, but as he expected Shin didn't disappear and Tsunade gazed up.
"The true Shinigami?" she said in wonder. She couldn't attest this to Sake anymore. No, this was beyond sake this needed sake of the highest order. This needed sake from Kami, herself. That is if Kami ever drank sake in the first place. Tsunade slumped into her seat and gasped.
"Brat, you're really the-,"
"Summoner to the Shinigami? Yeah I am. Baa-chan this is my Contract of the Shinigami," Naruto said holding up his hand and Tsunade merely nodded while Naruto turned around.
"Shin, let Tsunade-baachan see her little brother Nawaki Senju and her former lover Dan Kato. If only for a bit. Please," Naruto pleaded and Shin narrowed his eyes. He looked at Tsunade widening her eyes.
"Not to revive? Just to look at?" he asked and Naruto nodded. Shin shrugged his shoulders and sighed before he allowed it so. Soon Tsunade watched in plain day, the two souls of her brother and lover arrive. Dan smiled and so did Nawaki.
"Whoa Nee-chan, you've gotten so old," Nawaki said and Tsunade stood to her feet. She walked from behind her desk she reached out her hands while Dan and Nawaki smiled. They opened their own arms and Tsunade brought them both into an intense hug. Naruto smiled and backed away a bit while watching it go down. The anbu widened their eyes as they saw their Hokage cry.
"Nawaki, Dan you're both here. I can't tell you how much I've missed you," Tsunade while Nawaki turned around.
"It's all thanks to Shikon-sama," Nawaki said looking at Naruto making the blonde fault.
"Him too?" He asked and Dan nodded.
"His exploits are heard of even in the Realm of the Dead. The first human to sign the official contract with the Shinigami. Shikon-sama is really amazing," Dan said and Naruto growled. Damn that Shikon title. Tsunade gazed at Naruto while Nawaki and Dan looked at the necklace around his umm neck?
"So you have Tsunade's necklace also huh? Naruto-san thank you for doing this. We're happy you could," Dan said and Nawaki flashed the peace sign and Naruto shook his head.
"Don't mention it. I think all people should be happy if they can dattebayo," Naruto said giving a thumb up while Tsunade let go of Dan and Nawaki.
"I love you both. Very much. I'm glad I could see you again. Nawaki you were a great shinobi. Dan, you too. Do you two think about me?" Tsunade asked and Nawaki nodded along with Dan.
"All the time Nee-chan. I never stop. Dan-san also. We never forgot you and we never will. We promise," Nawaki said and Dan agreed with him while they started to fade. Tsunade smiled and quickly gave Nawaki a kiss on the cheek along with Dan before they both left. Naruto unfolded his arms and Tsunade wiped the tears of joy from her face.
"I can't make a good enough genjutsu to do that Baa-chan nor am I too coldhearted to try. Do you trust me?" Naruto asked and Tsunade looked at him. She narrowed her eyes and raised her fist and sent it at his face. Naruto braced himself for the hurt, but Tsunade stopped it inches away and pulled it back. She smiled and kissed Naruto's forehead. The blonde widened his eyes before she backed away and passed her judgement.
"You are still a shinobi of Konoha. You aren't going to prison. You're not deemed a traitor. Naruto, I trust you," Tsunade said with the warmest smile he had ever seen her give and the blonde gave a cheeky grin with a nod of his head. Tsunade leaned back and slammed her hand on the table.
"Boar get down here!" she yelled and the anbu came down fast while Naruto gazed at him.
"Yes Hokage-sama," he said and Tsunade grinned.
"What has been learned here is to NEVER leave this room. You and the other anbu here will swear on your lives to keep this silent. I will be telling only Shizune about this. Anyone else who learns of this will be told by me and me alone. Naruto's contract with the Shinigami will be labeled a SS-rank secret. No one is to talk about this. Especially not with the civilians," Tsunade ordered and Boar immediately nodded his head while Naruto chuckled.
"Thank you Baa-chan," Naruto said and Tsunade nodded.
"It all makes much more sense now. I knew something wasn't right, but for it to go that far. You really did bring back a surprise over the training period. Very good Naruto," Tsunade said and the blonde nodded as he opened the door. Soon he watched as Kakashi, Yugao and Sasuke fell on top of each other while Kushina and Mikoto were crying.
"That was so sweet dattebane!" Kushina cried while Kakashi and Sasuke rubbed the back of their heads. Yugao coughed and gave a blush of embarrassment.
"Good for you Tsunade," Mikoto said and Tsunade chuckled.
"So I take it all the members of Hinoken know?" Tsunade asked and everyone nodded their heads while Kushina and Mikoto bowed their heads.
"We are however sorry for-," Tsunade raised her hand for them to stop.
"No need for apologies. I understand it now. I've taken the appropriate measures. You have all done a great job. To keep an enemy from knowing then you don't even let your allies know. Excellent example of a shinobi," Tsunade said and everyone nodded though it was hesitant.
"Yes, but onto another matter at hand," Kushina said getting serious again as did everyone else while Tsunade nodded. Hinoken told her about their fight in the plains near the Fire Temple and even about their meeting with Chiriku and the other monks.
"Yes I know. I received the report from Yamato about it a few hours ago. He told me that you were there. It's becoming a real issue and that's why I'm giving you all a mission," Tsunade said and everyone stood to attention while Tsunade placed her elbows on the table and intwined her fingers.
"Find out who's taking these corpses. What's their purpose and stop them completely. Understood?" she asked and everyone nodded as they were about to leave.
"By the way Uchiha. How long have you been on probation?" Tsunade asked Sasuke and the young Uchiha closed his eyes with a sigh.
"A month," he said simply and Tsunade nodded her head.
"Good. Then two more weeks and you're off probation. Now get going," she said and everyone nodded as they quickly left the room while Tsunade looked at the large amount of paperwork, but in the end even that couldn't drop the smile from her face. It was all thanks to Naruto after all. It was always thanks to Naruto.
With the Hinoken members
Naruto leapt across the rooftops in the best mood he ever had in a long time and with good reason too. He had told Tsunade and she approved. He didn't have to lie anymore. It was awesome to be so free.
"Sochi slow down," Kushina said and Naruto did just that. He stopped and everyone regrouped together.
"Alright someone is stealing the corpses from the Fire tombs, but who could it be?" Mikoto asked and Sasuke spoke.
"From Naruto and I know then they were all from the Twelve Ninja Guardians. Something to really be feared I might add. Orochimaru even told me that he had tried to be one, but was deemed too insane.
"We can believe it," everyone said making Sasuke snort like a chuckle.
"First we should meet up with Yamato-san along with Sakura and Sai. They might have a plan already," Naruto said and everyone couldn't help, but agree.
"That's true. I agree with Naruto on his idea and I suggest that we get moving fast Kushina-taichou. The Fire Temple isn't far off. We might be able to make it by night time don't you think?" Yugao asked and everyone could agree with her on that mark.
"Yeah, but do we need to stop for anything?" Kakashi asked and Kushina sighed before widening her eyes.
"Oh yes. I'll be right back. Sochi, come with me. You all wait at the gates," Kushina said dashing off and Naruto followed her while the others went to the gate as were their orders.
With Kushina and Naruto
"Kaa-chan where are we going?" Naruto asked as they hopped along the rooftops. Kushina smiled and merely headed faster in the direction while Naruto easily stayed close to her. They both soon left the entire village district and came down to their house. Naruto huffed slightly and Kushina opened the door. She moved to the back of the house and Naruto followed her.
"Simple Sochi. We're going to be learn that Time-Space ninjutsu that you wanted and your father's notes are going to help us out. The same notes for the Hiraishin. Come and help me seal this stuff," Kushina said and Naruto nodded his head. That's right, he hadn't been thinking about the jutsu that much since he was traveling around. About time he got back into the real swing of things.
So on that note, Naruto and Kushina sealed up all the notes from Minato's archives that they could find on sealing and on the Hiraishin. It was they could get their hands on and seal into their bags.
"Got it Kaa-chan. Now let's go," Naruto said and Kushina nodded her head fast as they raced out the door. They immediately caught up with the other Hinoken members and all raced out of the door to make it back to the Fire Temple.
Hi no Kuni's Fire Temple
Yamato, Sakura and Sai were waiting for Kushina and her team to arrive like they said they would. It was still a little early, but this was turning into a disaster and fast. The enemy already had three of the graves and it was becoming more and more dangerous.
"Yamato-sensei, we can't wait anymore," Sai said and Yamato sighed with a nod. He was about to get to his feet before a monk came to get Chiriku.
"Chiriku -sama they have the fourth corpse. What are we supposed to do?" the monk asked and Chiriku sighed as he got to his feet.
"Sora you're coming with us. Yamato-san, you and your team will need to back us up," Chiriku said and Yamato nodded before they all felt six presences.
"Sorry for being late," Kushina said hopping down and so did everyone else.
"No you're just in time. Now then what's to be done?" Chiriku said and Naruto spoke.
"Anything happen?" he asked and Sakura nodded.
"They have the fourth corpse. We're getting ready to move now," Sakura said, but Kushina shook her head stopping Sakura.
"Tsunade passed the orders to us. We're supposed to stop them now. Yamato, you and your team are to serve as back-up for Hinoken. Chiriku and Sora will follow us. Naruto, Sasuke you two will be one unit. Yugao and I will be the other. Mikoto and Kakashi will be the next. Understood?" she asked and everyone nodded their heads as Kushina closed her eyes. She locked onto the residual chakra signatures and grinned as she raised her hand.
"Let's all go," she said and everyone nodded as they shunshined and ran out the temple. Yamato, Sakura and Sai glanced at each other and nodded as they raced after Hinoken.
With Hinoken
The six members all raced across the trees with Kushina at the lead trying to keep pace with the moving signatures.
"Move to the left," she commanded and everyone did so as they broke to the left. Hinoken's teamwork had greatly improved as they were better at relaying on each other than on their first mission. This was much better.
They all soon made it to an open field and everyone saw the four coffins converging on one spot.
"Looks like we found them after all," Yugao said and everyone nodded while Kushina held up her hand.
"Everyone go!" she said and they all dashed down. Sora went along with Naruto and Sasuke although it was reluctant and the chased after coffins.
With the enemy
Fuen was currently working on drawing on a scroll what appeared to be a rather detailed landscape and smiled at seeing the Hinoken members coming out of their hiding places. They all converged on the coffins while Fuka smiled.
"Hmm they all seem to be happy go lucky to take those coffins," she said while Fudo grinned.
"Bastards. They have no idea that they are walking into a trap," Fudo said and Fuka's gaze turned to Naruto and before long the seal on her body burned as she cursed. Fuen and Fudo turned to her while Fuka glanced again.
"Him, why does this hurt when I see him? Dammit, I'll need to take him out," Fuka said in her thoughts though she had no idea just what fate had in store for her as an Uzumaki. She snickered to herself while Fuen stopped.
"Done with it. Fudo, get to work," Fuen said and Fudo nodded as he looked at the terrain on the scroll and did his handsigns.
"Doton: Uitenpen( Earth Release: Wheel of Fortune)," Fudo yelled as he slammed the scroll.
The Hinoken members along with Sora raced for the coffins before everyone paused and backed away from the massive land formation that came out of nowhere.
"Sasuke! Sora!" Naruto yelled as they all got separated. Sasuke backflipped away from a rock coming to hit him and cursed while he grabbed Sora and the two jumped to the ground. Kushina and Yugao dashed away while Kakashi and Mikoto tried to evade as well. It was a large quake, but soon everyone was trapped in the caverns of the jutsu while Fuka, Furido and Fuen smiled.
"Time to go to work you two," Fudo said and Fuka brushed her hair.
"I'll have my fun with that blonde one," Fuka said before vanishing while Fuen and Fudo disappeared as well.
With Sasuke
The Uchiha sucked his teeth as he realized he was trapped. He realized it with his sharingan too late. If only he had a better reaction time then this wouldn't be necessary in the slightest. He turned his head to see Sora on the ground and growled before he bopped him on the head.
"Wake up idiot. I'm not gonna baby your ass," Sasuke said and Sora growled.
"Who do you think you're talking to bastard?" he asked and Sasuke smirked.
"Hmph don't get in Hinoken's way you little monk. I'm going to find the enemy. I don't have the time to worry about you," Sasuke said before he dashed off while Sora got to his feet and dashed off as well.
Sasuke dropped to the ground and traversed the dark halls of the caverns and sighed. Yeah, he had no idea where he was. He had no idea where Naruto was or anyone else except this Sora guy who decided to stay with him.
"Do you have any idea where you're going?" Sora asked and Sasuke knelt down to touch the ground. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"No, but I can feel the air underneath us. We're get out soon," he said before he jumped in the air to dodge an earth spike. He growled and turned around to see Fudo coming out with a smile.
"That's what you think little boy," Fudo said and Sasuke glared along with Sora.
"Who are you? Where are we?" Sasuke asked and Fudo chuckled.
"Why you're in my jutsu. You're also in our way and so you're going to need to be dealt with," Fudo said and Sasuke flashed his sharingan while taking out his sword. He immediately lit it up in Raiton chakra and smirked.
"Don't underestimate an Uchiha you fool. You won't live to regret it," Sasuke said as he charged Fudo.
With Naruto
The blonde groaned as he had no way of knowing where he was. Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sasuke! Sora!" he called before he heard no response. Naruto rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"No way they'd hear me. That jutsu was strong. I can't believe I didn't see it. Kuso, I need more training," the blonde said before he heard a woman laughing he narrowed his eyes to the laugh only to see a boulder coming at him. Naruto raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes.
"I think they're insulting you Kit. To think you might die from a boulder is sad," Kyuubi said and Naruto nodded his head while taking out his sword. He brought it back and slightly unsheathed it.
"Uzu no Fukushū: Onigiri( Whirlpool Revenge: Demon Slash)," Naruto yelled and slashed at the boulder watching it fall into two pieces while he sheathed his sword.
"Wow impressive work. You're talented,"someone said and Naruto turned his head to see one hell of a woman coming from the shadows. She was quite tall and attractive. She worea dark-pink and shoulderless gi-like shirt with loose arm-warmers reaching her upper arms and light-purple spandex-shorts. She also consisted of black low-heeled boots with an olive-green tipping. She had two simple earrings covered by her hair. She had blue eyes and long red wavy maroon hair, which stretched down to her waist, and fair skin. All in all, to Naruto, she was too damn hot for her own good.
"Right on the money with that one kit," Kyuubi said and the blonde grinned.
"Yeah I'm sure it's nothing, but why don't you tell me about your goals for trapping me in here?" Naruto asked and Fuka widened her eyes.
"Oh am I already a threat to you?" she asked and Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"Well you don't have to be or I'd rather not rough up a gorgeous woman like yourself," Naruto said and if Fuka was expecting something then that wasn't it.
"Why thank you. I didn't think someone like you could see me as attractive," she said and Naruto chuckled while brushing a hand through his hair.
"Yeah you're cute. Way to cute to be doing whatever it is your doing. So do we have to fight?" he asked and Fuka merely smiled.
"How about a kiss first?" she asked touching her lips and Naruto decided to go with the flirt even if it wasn't his style.
"No date first?" he asked her and while it wasn't his style to flirt with an enemy he was just having so much fun despite the situation. Fuka chuckled lightly. This was interesting. No one had tried to match her in a flirt.
She soon disappeared and appeared behind Naruto while touching his cheek.
"It's almost a shame to kill someone so cute," Fuka said and Naruto eyes trailed down. He widened his eyes to a swirl symbol on her body and then chuckled.
"Oh wow, I'm getting hot off my family. I'm so gonna need therapy," The blonde said in his thoughts before he turned around to face Fuka.
"It's also a shame that I might have to kill family and such a cute family member at that," he countered and Fuka widened her eyes.
"W-WHat? Family?" she asked and Naruto grinned. Oh this was too good to be real.
Somewhere else
Tobi and Deidara were walking around and before long Tobi felt a shiver down his spine. He looked up at the moon and Deidara stopped.
"Tobi, what are you doing? Let's go hmm," he said and Tobi lightly glared.
"What's this unsettling feeling? It wasn't in my plans that Sasuke would return to Konoha, but somehow I've got to get him to meet with Itachi. If only I knew where he was. Oh I know I'll see that old snake. I know he'll be planning something," Tobi said in thought before he walked off.
"Tobi, what are you doing?! Answer me!" Deidara said and Tobi turned around.
"Senpai, please don't talk. Your breath it pumpin' right now," Tobi said and Deidara growled while he made a clay bomb.
"DIE!" he said and Tobi shouted out in pain even though Deidara didn't hit him once.
KG: Alright people, the only reason we're even going into that arc is because I need to introduce Naruto to Fuka. I thought it would be fun in this arc and I've always liked Fuka despite her acting the way she did that time. Don't worry a little really I don't plan on reviving Dan for Tsunade that'd be a little weird given the age difference between them. I'm still on the fence about Mito for this story, but I'll come up with a decision soon.
(Knock on the door)
