KG: No, nope. Uh uh I'm not moving. Come back some other time. Forget all of you.
Naruto: What's his problem?
Kushina: Apparently he just found out that he might not be getting engaged.
Naruto: he was engaged?
KG: Hmph fuck it. Nope I'm done. I'm leaving this site. Yep, outta here.
Yura: Why are you taking your frustration out on the site?
KG: Whose talking about this site? I love fanfiction. Not this site specifically. I mean I'm leaving this site. This damn site of this damn family. FORGET IT!
Integra: You can complain all you want, but you still have a job to do.
KG: How can I think about work at a time like this?!
Rachel: Simple. Grab your computer, sit down, roll up your sleeves and type.
KG:...that's it. Nope, I'm out. That comment did it. See ya.
Rachel: W-What?
KG: You heard me. See you guys later. Don't look for me. I'm going on a journey. Screw this tactless shit. I'm taking Rikku with me. She's the only one who seems to have any tact. (We leave)
Sasuke: Nice job Rachel.
Rachel: What? Is this my fault?
Naruto: Sort of.
(With KG and Rikku)
Rikku: What are you doing?
KG: Typing. My readers don't need to be disappointed just because of my shitty life. Now then, let's get going while I type this. Rikku you drive.
Rikku: I don't have a license.
KG: Is that going to stop you?
Rikku: HELL NO!
KG: Good. Oh, KyuubiGoku doesn't condone driving without a license. Drive safely and with a seatbelt. Now then.
Quote: "I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread tread on my dreams," by W.B. Yeats.
"Go left! Go right! Are you stupid!"
"Will you shut up and just let me run for a damn second!" Naruto shouted as he continued to carry Guren through the body of the Sanbi. The two had decided to place their conversation on hold for when they got out merely because of the fact that they were being chased by miniature Sanbi. It was a pain in the ass and Naruto had no way of knowing just where the hell he was. It pissed him off outright and Guren's yelling wasn't making him any better.
Naruto turned a sharp left while Guren continued, much to Naruto's amazement, to fire crystal shuriken at their opponents. She cursed at the hard shielding that the turtles had, but she couldn't very well complain. If Naruto had left her then she would be done for, but he didn't. Guren stopped firing for a small second and looked up to Naruto who was currently still speeding through the walls of Sanbi. She looked at him for a bit before turning back to see that they had lost their pursuers.
"You can stop. They stopped running after us," Guren said while Naruto's feet skidded to a stop. He looked behind them both to see that nothing was after them. He sighed and leaned against the wall while gently placing Guren on the ground. Naruto had been following some clones from their memories about which was the best way out. One had found an opening, but it was quite a ways off.
"Man that was close. Are you alright?" Naruto asked while Guren nodded her head. She slowly leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes. Her closed shifted to tell Guren that Naruto had leaned against her. She slowly opened one eyes to see Naruto just next to her.
"Hey, would you mind telling me how you're an Uzumaki? I mean you look nothing like what I was expecting an Uzumaki to look like," Naruto stated and Guren wasn't sure how to take that as it might've sounded like an insult, but she would just have to think about later.
"You asking me? I wouldn't know it. It's not a really common name. I don't know whose side of my family has Uzumaki blood. I'm just as clueless as you are little brother," Guren joked while Naruto's eyes shot open. He glared at Guren which made her smile.
"I never had any siblings. I was just an only child and an orphan. I always wanted someone to call a family. Even if it's for a little bit I thought I would just say that," Guren said while Naruto seemed a little shocked that the hostility was gone from her voice. It was nothing like an hour ago. It felt a lot more soothing, more melodious. Close to his mother's like he had examined earlier.
"All the more reason that you should come home and not be with that fag Orochimaru. Besides he's gone. It's not like you have anything to be scared of," Naruto said before he got a jab in his shoulder.
"I'm not scared. Orochimaru-sama saved me from my poor life. It was a chance to survive and I took it. I hold no regrets over that. I only have one true regret," Guren said while Naruto glanced to her.
"Is it because of Yukimaru?" Naruto asked and Guren looked at the blonde shocked while Naruto snickered.
"You have that kind of expression on your face. So what is it?" Naruto asked and Guren shifted slightly.
"I killed his parents. Orochimaru said it was for a good purpose. I felt it was wrong, but I didn't want to go back to that life. No not back to the bullshit that I faced when I was younger. It was then that his mother only asked for me to do one thing, take care of him for her. She actually smiled at me before she died. I still shiver from it. It's like I...lost and she won in a sense. I don't get it," Guren said while Naruto smiled. He filled his eyes with Honshou and looked up. He could see Yukimaru's father and mother floating above him. He only knew that was them because they told him so. He noticed them float down and slowly pat Guren's shoulder. Naruto wasn't sure, but somewhere he knew that they had been flying around being near Yukimaru and Guren.
"I think they forgive you," Naruto said suddenly getting Guren to look up at him. The blonde smirked and Guren seemed captivated by his eyes. The sparking power inside of them just seemed to take her breathe away.
"Can you see the dead or something?" Guren joked while Yukimaru's mother and father turned to him. Naruto looked at them and noticed them grin and giggle at him. He snorted and then leaned back.
"More or less," he said shocking Guren, but he didn't give her the chance to think over those words as he spoke.
"Yukimaru really likes you from what he's told me. I'm sure that he would go with you anywhere so long as you did what you wanted. That seems to be the type of person that he is. It's the type of person I know you are. Want to know why? Because you're an Uzumaki. Family means more to us than anything else. It's what I feel from you. You want to take care of him," Naruto said while Guren chuckled.
"I see. And what makes you think that I will go with this?" Guren asked while Naruto smiled. He then grabbed the hilt of his sword and slowly sheathed it.
"Well then I'll just drag you. With that leg you won't be able to force anything," Naruto said with a smile. Guren scoffed before she closed her eyes. Did she want to? Could she? Would she? She would be taking a large risk, but then again, Guren wasn't one who wasn't used to such things.
"Well get me up. I'm not going to be able to go back home if we don't get out of here," Guren said while Naruto chuckled. He stood up and grabbed Guren into his arms. He then noticed Guren lean up and whisper something in his ears. Naruto's eyebrow twitched at her words while she leaned back.
"You're kidding," Naruto said before Guren placed a crystal blade to his throat. She just smiled and Naruto sighed with a roll of his eyes.
"Fine fine. Alright then, let's get going...Guren-oneechan," Naruto said while Guren retracted her blade and smiled.
"If we must then," she said as they shot off.
With the rest of Hinoken
Everyone was covering their ears from the loud noise that Yukimaru was shouting. Gozu had watched his comrades die because of the rampage of the Sanbi. It was coming all around them and the members of Hinoken were coming together.
"Where is Naruto?" Yugao asked seeing an absence of the Kyuubi jinchuuriki while Kushina sighed. She turned back to the Sanbi while everyone else widened their eyes.
"Sochi is inside somewhere. I'm sure he'll want to get out, but I don't know how to get him out of there," Kushina stated while everyone groaned. Kakashi then turned his head to see Fuka coming in with a crash as she coughed. She brushed her lip with a grin before everyone noticed Rinji coming out his hiding place. Kakashi glared while he helped Fuka to her feet.
"That bastard is tough," Fuka said with a grin while Kakashi stepped forward. He quickly took his sword out and walked towards Rinji.
"You guys try and recollect Yura and Naruto. I can hold him back. Other than that Gozu person, he's the only one left. I can handle this," Kakashi said while the others nodded. They all quickly flashed out while Rinji smiled.
"You're only delaying the inevitable," he said, but Kakashi didn't pay that any mind. He knew it wasn't inevitable. Not if Naruto and Kushina were still around. They were the most unpredictable types of people that you could meet.
"If you have the time to talk, then you should fight," Kakashi said as his sword clashed with Rinji's kunai. The man snickered before their clashes could be heard in the distance.
Kushina stopped Fuka from running and decided to give her some orders.
Fuka get away from here. Take Yura and travel back to the campsite. Wait there for us. If we aren't back in two hours then come back. We're all too spread out and I want you to conserve as much chakra as possible. Understood?" Kushina asked while Fuka merely smiled. She brushed a hand through her hair and quickly left in a shunshin while Kushina turned her head and smiled.
Pakura delivered a sharp kick to Gozu's chin sending him flying into the air. She opened her arms as Kimimaro and Dan quickly jumped on them and into the air.
"Yanagi no Mai( Dance of the Willow)," Kimimaro called out as Gozu saw bones come from his body. He then turned his head to see Dan do a handsign. He grabbed Kimimaro's leg and swirled him around.
"Ninpo: Rei no Tossin( Ninja Art: White Being Rush)," Dan shouted as he flung Kimimaro towards Gozu. The large man tried to block it, but Kimimaro's body slammed into his and it sent him directly towards Fujikaze. The swordsman brought his sword back and everyone watched a light come over it.
"Kenjutsu: Kaze Ni Mitama( Sword Technique: Spirit of the Wind)," Fujikaze shouted as he slashed forward. He quickly pierced Gozu's body easily before the large man was sent crashing into the ground. Fujikaze quickly closed his sword and closed his eyes.
"You were a magnificent opponent," he said honorably. The spirits turned to their target who was on the ground. All were about to walk away before they heard him cough.
"P-Please," he said making them turn around.
"Please tell your master, not to hurt Guren. S-She means well. I hope that she will be alright. Take her from this life," he said before he died. Everyone glanced at each other before they spirited out and back into Naruto's sword. Kimimaro was the only one who took the longest. He bowed to Gozu before he left.
Kushina had seen the whole thing and smiled as she knelt down and closed Gozu's eyes. She was sure that Naruto would've saved this one of he had been given a little more time, but he wasn't. It seems that not everyone can be saved, but it was a burden of the shinobi world. Kushina stood to her feet before she turned around to still seeing Yukimaru screaming. His voice filled with pain and hurt.
"Sochi, you'd better get out here now or things are going to get more of a pain than they already are," Kushina said while she looking up at the Sanbi.
With Naruto and Guren
Naruto quickly landed down to the ground along with Guren. The blonde turned to her and she smiled with a nod. Naruto nodded and summoned three clones next to a wall of flesh. He moved Guren behind a wall while he held up a handsign.
"Kai," Naruto shouted as the entire wall exploded. Guren covered her head and ears from the explosion while the dust settled. Naruto saw that the spot was untouched and cursed underneath his breath. The blonde growled and sat down while Guren looked to see that the situation was unchanged.
"You're sure that you're clone dispelled here?" Guren asked while Naruto nodded his head. He was more than sure of it. Guren slowly leaned against the wall while Naruto sighed. He quickly took a kunai and threw it at the wall just out of frustration. They both heard a squelching noise and they noticed the kunai get pulled into the flesh. Naruto widened his eyes while Guren's form twitched.
"Looks like I found it," Naruto said while Guren shook her head. She sighed while Naruto grabbed her. He pushed against the flesh and the two were quickly consumed inside. It was a very tight fit, but Naruto and Guren could see a very white light over come them both before they passed out.
It only took a few minutes, but Guren opened her eyes. She blinked and noticed the sand on the beach. They were out and it didn't take long at all. Guren grinned despite herself and turned around. That grin didn't stay long as she saw Naruto floating in the water. Guren gasped and quickly inched herself over to Naruto and dragged him out of the water. She quickly and lightly slapped his face to get him to stir while Naruto groaned. He opened his eyes and leaned up.
"Ugh, what happened? Oh, we're out," Naruto said with a small grin across his face. One that Guren returned before they heard a thunderous crash. The two Uzumaki rolled over and noticed Sanbi roaring its head off in the not-so-far distance.
"Guren-chan think you can hold that thing? I'm going to have to seal him and if we're lucky then it will be the last sealing that we will ever need to do to him," Naruto said while Guren nodded. She quickly and painfully realigned her leg in place with a slight curse before standing.
"Leave it to me, but where is Yukimaru?" she asked while Naruto closed his eyes. He looked left and right before smiling.
"He's back at the campsite resting from Yura and Fuka. They are taking care of him," Naruto said while Guren breathed a sigh of relief. The two then shot off towards the Sanbi bijuu while Shin appeared behind Naruto
"Get ready Shin. If what I'm going to do is something else then it should work. Can you handle another bijuu?" Naruto asked with a grin on his face as he turned his head to see Shin's steely gaze on him. It wasn't something that Naruto would likely get used to, but it was sort of comforting.
"Just tell me when," he said and Naruto nodded as he turned back in front.
With Kushina
Kushina grunted as her chakra chains tried to keep the Sanbi bound. She was a lot stronger than when she did it to Kyuubi so she had that going for her, but it was still a large hassle with the damn thing swirling around that an asshole.
"Come on Sochi, where are you?" Kushina asked with a grumble while Mikoto and Yugao continued to spam katon jutsus in the hope that it would disable Sanbi long enough for them to find Naruto, but they had to give it credit. It wasn't a bijuu for nothing.
And to Kushina's far right was Kakashi still dealing with Rinji who was suddenly kicked into the water with a splash while he huffed. The fighting was starting to wear on Kakashi's body. He was getting slightly winded and his overuse of his sharingan was becoming a problem.
"This might be a problem," Kakashi thought to himself before he heard laughing. He watched in shock as Rinji emerged from the waters. He clapped slightly confusing Kakashi before he grabbed his chin and...peeled it off. Kakashi widened his eyes in disgust before his entire being told him to be ready as he saw Kabuto in the flesh.
"You're at your limit Kakashi. I think it's time that I took things into my own hands," Kabuto said while Kakashi growled. He quickly flared Raiton chakra through his sword making the mist clear around them.
"Oya, you still seem spirited. Are you saddened by the lose of Naruto?" Kabuto asked with a small chuckle while Kakashi's sharingan began to flare dangerously. Kakashi was about to lunge for Kabuto before they heard a shout.
"Shinigami no Kenjutsu: Dai Tamashi no Sanran( Death God Sword Technique: Great Soul Scatter)," Naruto shouted while he barely missed Kabuto's face, much to the medic's surprise before he jumped back, but he was still in range as Naruto quickly threw his sword into his left hand and managed a small cut across Kabuto's face. He noticed Naruto's grin before he backflipped away and touched his cheek. He cursed at a burning pain on it and looked to see a small trace of white fire over it.
"My Naruto-kun, you're tougher to get rid of than a cockroach," Kabuto said while Naruto landed next to Kakashi.
"You okay Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked while Kakashi dropped down on one knee. He huffed slightly and used his scarf to cover his eye again letting the remainder of his chakra remain for a later time.
"Just fine and a little tired. How did you escape Sanbi Naruto?" Kakashi asked while Naruto grinned.
"Oh just some help from family," Naruto said while Kakashi raised an eyebrow. It was then that both noticed Guren land near Kabuto while she glared.
"Guren-san, just in time. I could use your help to take care of these two. You distract them while I take out the others and gather the Sanbi," Kabuto said, but he failed to notice the smirk on Guren's face as she quickly made a crystal razor blade.
"You got it, but I have a different plan," she said and it was only from Kabuto's experience as a shinobi that allowed him to block Guren's strike with a kunai. He glared at her while Guren continued to sneer at him.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kabuto asked with a growl while Guren shrugged.
"Something that I should've done a long time ago. I'm taking Yukimaru from you and we're not going back. You come after us and I'll make sure you regret it," Guren said and if Kakashi wasn't tired then he would widen his eyes to the new development before he noticed the grin on Naruto's face. Yep, the blonde did something crazy again.
"Orochimaru-sama will not stand for your betrayal," Kabuto uttered, but the reaction he was hoping for wasn't there as Guren looked at him with a lazy expression on her face before she made a handsign.
"Don't take me for a fool. Orochimaru is gone and you lied to us. You sent us all to our deaths Kabuto. I don't take kindly to that at all. You're just lucky that this is all I'm to do to you," Guren said while Kabuto gasped to seeing his body overtaken by the crystals. He was slowly encased while Guren shot off along with Naruto. Kabuto cursed underneath his breath while their footsteps disappeared.
"Guren-neechan do it now," Naruto said while Guren did some handsigns. She quickly bit her thumb while Naruto did some separate handsigns as well.
"Shōton: Daisuishō Rō no Jutsu( Crystal Release: Great Jade Crystal Prison Technique)," Guren shouted as she slammed the sand. Everyone around them was shocked by the yell as Kushina, Yugao and Mikoto turned around. They all noticed the crystals rise up from the earth and encase the Sanbi inside.
"Kaa-chan, get the seal ready. That's not going to hold!" Naruto shouted and Kushina felt that he could explain later before she activated the seals on Sanbi's body. The back of the Sanbi lit up in light while Naruto allowed Shin to appear behind him while he cut his hand with a kunai.
"Uzushiogakure no Fuin: Bijuu Yokuatsu no Fuin( Hidden Whirlpool Seal: Tailed Beast's Suppressing Containment Sealing)," Naruto shouted as he jumped into the air. Everyone watched in awe as Naruto's hand glowed with the kanji for the word seal. Kabuto gasped and then all horror came back to him as the Shinigami appeared behind him.
"Kyuubi are you ready?" Naruto asked while Kyuubi opened his eyes. He snorted and sent a rush of chakra into Naruto's self-made seal while Naruto turned around.
"Go, Shin!" Naruto shouted and with his outstretched hand, Shin's arm went through Naruto's body and attached itself to Sanbi's head. The bijuu roared before a chakra form of itself came from it and lunged for Naruto. The blonde quickly took out a crystal that Guren gave him and slammed it with his hand while the chakra poured into the crystal. The light illuminated everything around them while Naruto closed his eyes. Everyone did the same before it dissipated. Naruto landed on the ground and smirked as he held up the crystal. He could feel a large amount of chakra inside it before everyone else felt the Sanbi rage again. Maybe even more violently.
"What did you do?" Mikoto asked while Naruto smirked.
"I seal the Yang half of Sanbi into this crystal. Go Kaa-chan, do the rest," Naruto said while Kushina nodded more than happy to oblige.
"Uzu no Fuin: Seiteki Haikyo( Whirlpool Seal: Static Ruin)," Kushina shouted as everyone saw the Sanbi groan outright. It's body twitched violently before it fell into the water unconscious. It's form slowly disappeared and its outrage had stopped completely. The lake was at peace after an exhausting time. Naruto fell to the ground and chuckled while Guren lowered the crystals.
"Where is Kabuto?" Naruto asked while Kakashi appeared.
"He got away. He always was like his master. Just a snake," Kakashi said while Naruto groaned. Much more work for him to do that would just piss him off. Yugao took the crystal from his hands and looked at it before handing it to Kushina.
"Bijuu can't stay in objects forever and this will break over some time. We'll have to think of something soon. This can't be permanent. Either the Yang will dissipate and reunite with the Yin or the Sanbi here will vanish and will recollect itself to where the Yang is, which is where we are," Kushina said while everyone sighed.
"Maybe we should have Jiraiya-sama look at it," Yugao said before Kushina gave a snort.
"I have no doubt if his skills, but Jiraiya can't handle this. No one can except for Naruto and I. In fact I dare say that sochi's use of fuinjutsu surpasses Jiraiya's so there wouldn't be much of a point. Now then, let's go back before we have Fuka and Yura looking for us," Kushina said before they saw Guren walking towards them. Everyone readied their weapons before Naruto stood up. He stopped them all and they watched as he helped Guren over his shoulder. He then gave a wink to his mother which got a slightly widened eye from her and then a nod as she stayed silent.
"She's not with them anymore. She's with us. Both as a comrade...and as family," Naruto said with a thumbs while Guren averted her eyes with a small blush on her face. She looked to see all of her comrades dead, especially Gozu. She narrowed her eyes and sighed before closing her eyes. She wished she could've saved him, but it was too late.
"Don't worry Gozu, I won't let you down. I now know what I'm supposed to do. Goodbye...friend," Guren said as she closed her eyes.
4 hours later
Yukimaru groaned as he opened his eyes. He immediately met Guren's smile while she had her arms folded.
"Glad to you're awake," Guren said while Yukimaru jumped up to see that they were inside a tent. He then quickly held out his crystallized flower and smiled while Guren nodded. To Yukimaru's surprise the blinds opened up to reveal Naruto coming to him.
"Naruto-san, Guren-san, you're not fighting," Yukimaru said like it was an odd thing, but then again it could've been in his case. Naruto snickered and wrapped on arm around Guren's shoulder.
"That's cause she's realized just how badass I am," Naruto said before he was delivered a swift punch to the gut. The blonde coughed with a laugh while Guren snorted.
"Yukimaru, we're leaving this place. Not just this place, but we're leaving Orochimaru behind. I want a better life for you and I want you to be taught the right way about things. That is why I want you to come with me back to my ancestral home, Uzushiogakure. You may refuse, but I want you to know that the option is open," Guren said and Yukimaru widened his eyes.
"So we'll be leaving Naruto-niisan?" Yukimaru asked while Guren and Naruto glanced at each other. The other members of Hinoken, hearing the news, snickered to themselves.
"Nope, that's where I live buddy. You and Guren are coming to live with me," Naruto said while Yukimaru smiled. Guren chuckled before she knelt down to check Yukimaru's body.
"When are you leaving?" Guren asked Naruto, but that was Kushina's answer and she came through the tents quickly.
"Tomorrow, I'd suppose. We've been away from Uzushiogakure for quite a bit and I'd like for Naruto to meet up with Sasuke if he can and see what the he's done lately," Kushina spoke and Guren nodded.
"Very well. I shall take care of Yukimaru. He won't be a problem will he?" Guren asked while Kushina gave a thumbs up.
"The more, the merrier dattebane," she said while she took Naruto outside to give the two some alone time.
With that out of the way, Naruto decided to head off and do something that he should've done a long time ago. Naruto left the tents and appeared a long ways off from the campsite. He stayed on a large rock in the middle of a plain. He took out his sword and raised it into the air.
"Shikon no Mai," Naruto shouted as he called for only one person. That person quickly fell down on one knee. Her red hair falling behind her back while Naruto looked at her with a small smirk as the memories came back to him while the red head opened her eyes as she spoke.
"I'm at your service, Shikon-sa...ma. Oh fuckin' shit of the world! You're kidding me! It's you!" she shouted while Naruto snorted.
"Still the foul mouth as I remember Tayuya," Naruto said while the female of the Sound Ninja Four gasped and pointed her finger at him.
"How is it that you of all people are able to...to...What is this?" Tayuya shouted while Naruto smirked.
"Simple. I'm the summoner of the Shinigami. I think you know what that means," Naruto said making a mock death glare like Shin had taught him. Tayuya quickly shut her mouth as she knew that since Naruto could see and talk to her then it wouldn't do well for her to be disrespectful. She was already dead, she didn't want to know what happens to a dead person if they pissed Naruto off.
"Y-Yeah, man you really have grown. It's amazing. You look less like a shithead now. It's awesome!" Tayuya said while Naruto chuckled.
"Well then, Tayuya tell me a little bit about yourself. I never really got the chance to ask as we were trying to kill each other," Naruto said while Tayuya snorted. She sat down and folded her legs.
"I'm Tayuya as you know. I used to be a servant of that bastard snake Orochimaru. I dead from delivering that Uchiha prick to the pedo. I don't really like anything except playing my flute and practicing my genjutsu skills. I hate anyone weak and those fools who dare to call themselves ninja who haven't done anything. They should get their damn priorities straight. I also fuckin' hate that pedo and his damn lackey Kabuto," Tayuya said while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"They were on your side. Why would you hate them?" he asked while Tayuya laughed.
"HA! Who in their right or messed up mind would team-up with them? Don't answer that by the way. And I had to survive dammit. I'm not dying the life I lived and if selling my services to these people could keep me and Kin alive then it worked out," Tayuya spoke while she finished.
"And where did you end up?" Naruto asked while Tayuya's silent voice and embarrassed face said enough.
"Shut up," she said and Naruto chuckled while Tayuya continued.
"I have a water affinity. I don't really train it so I don't know shit. I hope to just live the rest of my life as a soul," Tayuya said while Naruto nodded.
"Also, you know Sasuke's back with Konoha and Orochimaru's dead," Naruto said while Tayuya grew silent. She then got a tick mark and growled.
"Are you fuckin' serious?! We died for nothing! We all stayed up till 3 in the damn morning coming up with that damn plot and the snake asshole can't even...*Breathes deeply* fine whatever. I just don't care anymore anyway," Tayuya said calming her anger. Naruto found it rather funny that she hadn't changed after those two years, but it certainly made it entertaining.
"Also I have to tell you about-,"
"About me being one of your relatives? Yeah I fuckin' found out thank you," Tayuya said shocking Naruto.
"Wait, what?" Naruto asked and Tayuya nodded.
"Yeah, while roaming this stupid earth I actually managed to meet my parents. Fuckin' Beauty and the Bastard if you catch my drift. I instantly actually kicked my father's ass. He's the one who killed my mother because he had been on some weird shit in his life after we fell into debt. Mother tried to take me back to Uzushiogakure, but he killed her before she could. The damn bastard. I delivered him a swift jaw to the face. Also ironically I saw a new personality to her. She fuckin' kicked his ass in soul form. Apparently she was drugged and weak so now that she couldn't be drugged, she fuckin kicked his ass too. It was an ass-kickin' jamboree. All the souls watched too. Still she did love me and I guess I can understand her. I just managed to run when she died. Also she told me to tell you, that if I ever do meet you that I tell you, she wants to be revived if only so she can laugh in the bastard's face for what he did. Hell me too. We also want to be mother and daughter again. Some emotional shit like that. I don't need that," Tayuya said while Naruto chuckled.
"Then what's the grin on your face?" He asked.
"I said shut up!" Tayuya shouted before she and Naruto shared a nice laugh with each other. They then settled while Naruto looked down on Tayuya.
"Tayuya Uzumaki, will you help me? Be my summon, follow my will and help me find the true path to peace. I will try to revive your mother, Yura Uzumaki," Naruto said while Tayuya raised an eyebrow.
"Who the hell is Yura? Oh you didn't know. My mother actually changed her name. Yura is what she calls herself when she meets family. When it's me, she told me to call her Yu Uzumaki. Common mistake, but sure. I'll follow you. It's better than doing any of this shit that I've been doing," Tayuya said as she was sucked into Naruto's sword for his use another time.
"Welcome to the family Tayuya," Naruto said with a grin before he walked off.
Uzushiogakure
A warp hole appeared just outside of the rims of Uzushiogakure. Tobi stepped out and touched the ground. He looked around while he slowly took off his mask.
"I wonder how long it's been since I was last here trying to find anything useful. Hmph well whatever," he said before he fazed through the gates. Tobi slightly twitched as he saw the new buildings, remade streets and newly rebuilt Uzushiogakure mansion.
"What happened here?" he wondered to himself before he continued to walk through the streets. He could hear the sounds of fighting and Tobi remembered to keep his guard up. He was only apart from Deidara to do this stupid thing for Danzo, but he didn't know that there was actually something here.
"Alright Yuri, take a break and then we'll have finished everything you know. By the time they return you will have become a high chunin," Haku said while Yuri smiled. She was slightly taller than the few days ago and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"There are people here?" Tobi wondered before he vanished off.
Haku went inside to go wash her face while Yuri was busy practicing her fuinjutsu. She was having a lot of fun doing it and she was getting stronger. Her sister might be on her way to tokubetsu jonin level, but she was making headway as well. Then she would be able to leave Uzushiogakure on a mission with her sister and brother. They could go together.
"You can come out," Yuri said while Tobi twitched. He quickly appeared in front of her while Yuri readied a kunai in her hands. She lightly glared while Tobi walked up to her.
"Who are you and why are you on this island?" Tobi asked while Yuri continued to glare, but she gave the mysterious man a response.
"I'm Yuri Uzumaki and this is my home. What's it to you?" she asked and Tobi gained a smirk behind his mask before he lunged for Yuri. The girl quickly threw her kunai at him and watched in sheer awe and sheer horror as the kunai passed through his body. She had aimed it right at his heart and it only fazed him like nothing. Yuri couldn't react in time as the kunai passed Tobi and his hand grabbed her throat. Yuri coughed while Tobi lifted her into the air.
"Well it seems that something interesting is happening," Tobi said while Yuri tried to deliver an kick, but to her surprise, again, her foot passed through Tobi and went into the air.
"W-What are you?" she asked while Tobi snickered.
"Just sleep," Tobi said as he forced her to look into his eyes. Yuri gasped at the spinning sharingan before she blanked out and fell limply to the ground.
"YURI!" Tobi turned around to see Haku charging at him in a hurry. She threw three senbon at Tobi and could only watch as the needles passed him.
"A minor annoyance," he said before he charged her also. Haku took out a kunai and clashed with one of Tobi's own kunai. The sparks fell off the steel while Haku growled.
"What do you want with Yuri?" Haku asked keeping her eyes adjusted to Tobi's feet from experience with the sharingan while Tobi kept his face impassive.
"Just to draw out a little somebody," he said as they clashed again. Haku seethed before she held up a handsign and slammed the ground while taking water from the earth and the air around her.
"Hijutsu: Sensatsu Suishō( Hidden Jutsu: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death)," Haku cried out and the needles converged on Tobi while he looked at them all.
"Not bad," he complimented as Haku sent the needles converging on him. She watched as they passed through Tobi again and stuck to the air. Haku gasped while Tobi slowly showed her that none of the needles were hurting him as he passed through them all.
"You cannot defeat me with your abilities," Tobi said while Haku growled. She quickly charged back at Tobi one more time and Tobi did the same. Haku struck out her kunai while Tobi passed her again. Haku gasped in sheer shock as her whole body passed him.
"What is this?" Haku thought to herself before the two passed. Haku couldn't react as Tobi slammed her in the back of the neck knocking her out. Haku fell to the ground and passed out while Tobi snorted. He then walked over to an unconscious Yuri and then picked her up and placed her on his shoulders.
"Nice meeting you," he said before he quickly left in the same wormhole that he had appeared in leaving Haku in the fields of Uzushiogakure's training grounds.
"HAKU!" Zabuza shouted coming through the gates. Right behind him was Mei and Rin, who had been near the shore catching some things for them to eat for dinner. Zabuza ran up to an unconscious Haku and lifted her up to his arms.
"Haku, wake up. Haku, get on your feet," Zabuza said, but Haku was out cold.
"Bring her inside. I can do something for her," Mei said opening the doors she wished she could admire, but now wasn't the time.
"Wait, where is Yuri?" Rin asked slightly nervous as was Zabuza. When Haku woke up, they would all know and it wouldn't be good.
With Hinoken, two days later
Everyone was quickly heading back to Uzushiogakure. After their successful mission they could all relax for a little bit. Or so they had hoped which wasn't the case. Kakashi had gotten the summon's mail from Konoha. He had told everyone that Asuma died and it was time for Konoha shinobi to come and remember his burial which Hinoken had yet to do. So Naruto had allowed a Kage Bunshin and Yura to lead Guren and Yukimaru to Uzushiogakure while the others went to Konoha.
"So what about Sasuke? It's not like we can just contact him now, can we?" Naruto asked while the others shrugged their shoulders. They could just vouch for Sasuke at the moment when they all returned.
"I still can't believe that he died. Asuma always had a lot of life to him," Yugao said with her head slightly down. Naruto sighed with a nod. The laws of death had applied to everyone, but him, his mother and a few revived people, at the moment. It was something inevitable and couldn't be discussed. Especially not with Shin himself.
"Yeah, but I wonder why we have to go. Hokage-sama knows about our jobs and coming back could ruin our reputation and get us found out," Mikoto responded, but everyone felt a little relieved to go back. Maybe take a break for a bit before going back and giving Yuri some training. More on Naruto's part.
"So then we'd better hurry up then right?" Naruto asked and everyone agreed as they shot off towards Konoha.
With Tsunade, one day later
Tsunade sighed as she continued to do her work. She was waiting for the members of Hinoken to arrive and attend the ceremony for Asuma's death. Apparently people wanted the 'Namikaze family' to appear and say some words about him. Some political shit like that. Tsunade didn't really know or even really care at all, but she could think about that later as she had some guests.
Naruto, Kakashi, Yugao, Mikoto and Kushina all dropped to the ground.
"Mission success Hokage-sama. We've managed to stop Kabuto from capturing the bijuu," Naruto said while Tsunade snickered.
"It's good to see you brat. Been quite a while I guess. Maybe a good month or so. Now then you can save the mission report for later. Right now, Naruto and Kushina have to get ready for tonight. They will be beside me while I give Asuma's speech. I would like it if they did," Tsunade said while Naruto and Kushina glanced to each other.
"But I hardly know the guy," Kushina said while Tsunade sighed.
"Then Naruto will and you'll help him with it," Tsunade said and Naruto sighed. He merely nodded and everyone began to file out, but Tsunade called Naruto back. The blonde told his mother that he would see her at home while they all left.
"What is it Baa-chan?" Naruto asked while Tsunade combined her fingers together.
"Naruto, I hate to tell you this, but...word is getting around," Tsunade said while Naruto narrowed his eyes. He cursed underneath his breath. This was exactly what he wanted to avoid. This stupid shit of rumors being spread around. Oh yeah, learn about the Kyuubi in a week. Why the hell would a Shinigami Contract be different!
"Uh huh. You just can't get good anbu these days," Naruto said glaring up at the ceiling knowing that the anbu inside had flinched from his deadly gaze. It spelled death for anyone who was that stupid to actually try him. Naruto had been trained by his mother, an anbu captain and at one point the head anbu of the Anbu Black Ops. He knew how to handle people like these.
"The people who spilled the secret are taken care of, but the word has spread. I just advise you to, not do anything show-offy at the moment," Tsunade responded while Naruto sighed. He merely nodded and dismissed himself before leaving.
The blonde didn't even care about taking the streets as he was sure that people would look at him weirdly. Why? Well because the shinobi who had seen him, WERE looking at him weirdly. It freaked the blonde out to almost no end before he came up to his house. Naruto opened and closed the door before he gave a sigh and leaned against the couch.
"Oh god I'm tired. I haven't been this tired in a long time," Naruto said as he closed his eyes. He immediately felt some extra weight and opened his eyes to see his mother on his lap. Naruto smiled while Kushina did the same.
"Aww are you too tired dattebane?" Kushina asked leaning her face down. Naruto chuckled as he raised his and the two met in a chaste kiss for a little while just enjoying the feeling of peace reigning in their house.
It didn't last long before Kushina got up and walked off.
"I'd like you to go to the village sochi. Pick up some supplies for dinner. Can you do that?" Kushina asked and Naruto gulped. He knew what that would be subjecting himself to, but denying his mother was just impossible. She had that kind of effect on him.
"Alright then. Just let me change," Naruto said with a grin as he walked off to his room. No sooner than ten minutes did he come down minus his regular outfit and sword since he wore some black jeans and an orange sleeveless shirt. He quickly left the house behind and entered the streets.
Naruto could feel the stares on him as people murmured. They weren't exactly being discreet about it either. He could see some people looking at him longingly and other in confusion. He was lucky that he had covered the seals on his arms and hands so that they couldn't be seen. He hadn't been in the village an hour and he already wanted to leave. It was like the people were just daring for him to do something amazing.
Naruto sighed lowly and continued walking before he looked up to see Shikamaru walking through the streets. Naruto narrowed his eyes before he grabbed Shikamaru's shoulder.
"Hey Shikamaru, how are you doing?" Naruto asked while Shikamaru turned around. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"I'm fine Naruto. It's good to see you again after a while. I take it you're back because you heard the news?" Shikamaru asked while Naruto nodded his head dejectedly.
"Yeah I'm sorry for what happened to your sensei," he said and Shikamaru just nodded his head up and down.
"Yeah I suppose. I heard you would be attending the ceremony with Hokage-sama," Shikamaru responded getting a nod from Naruto.
"Yeah, but first I have to get some things for Kaa-chan. Just for dinner since we've been back," Naruto said and Shikamaru gave a small smile though it was half-hearted and Naruto knew it too.
"Are you going to be alright?" he then asked and Shikamaru wasn't sure how to answer that. He really just wanted to find that Hidan guy and just take him to the grave for what he had done to Asuma. It just wasn't fair at all for Asuma to die like that.
"I'll be fine," He said, a hint of loathing in his voice. Naruto raised an eyebrow, but merely shook his head up and down before he walked off while Shikamaru turned around.
"Naruto, you would do anything for your friends wouldn't you?" Shikamaru asked narrowing his eyes. The blonde suddenly felt like he was getting interrogated. Naruto sighed inwardly and turned around meeting Shikamaru's gaze with a strained smile.
"That's right I will," he said before he turned his head not giving Shikamaru the time to analyze that smile of his as he quickly tried to disappear into the crowds. Shikamaru watched Naruto leave with a weird look in his eyes, but didn't say anything. He didn't need to.
With Yuri
"Ugggggh," Yuri groaned as she opened her eyes. She widened them before seeing nice figures looking at her.
"Tobi brought the girl just like he was asked because Tobi is a good boy," Tobi said while Yuri raised an eyebrow. She felt weak and tired. Her body was stiff and her chakra nearly gone. She wasn't going to be doing anything for a little while.
"Why did you bring her here Tobi?" Itachi asked knowing his eyes while Yuri decided it was best to just keep quiet.
"Tobi was hoping to draw out the Kyuubi jinchuuriki with this girl. Tobi found her well," he said while everyone turned to Pain for any sort of explanation.
"So this is an Uzumaki. Understandable, Tobi since you caught her, you and Deidara are in charge of her. Do not let her out of your sight. Also do not allow the Kyuubi jinchuuriki to take her. We capture the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and we're one step closer to our goal," Pain said looking at everyone. Most of the members nodded their heads while Hidan cackled.
"Why wait? We could go and get him now. The bastard's managed to avoid us, but we'll find him and I'll sacrifice him to Jashin-sama," Hidan said with a grin while Kakuzu shook his head.
"T-They are after Nii-san. Naruto-niisan is in trouble," Yuri thought to herself, but she didn't say anything. She had to remember what Naruto had taught her and that was, if you're captured then don't move or show any signs of waking before you learn what you should. She remembered that lesson well. Though in truth she hoped she wouldn't have to apply it.
"Hey I'm not a babysitter. We should just blow this kid up for all I care," Deidara said, but Pain shook his head.
"You have your orders Deidara. Do them and remember what I said," Pain told them before everyone left. Deidara scoffed while Tobi knelt down and brushed Yuri's hair making her inwardly stiffen. His hands felt cold, clammy and terrifying. How she managed to think that the Shinigami was cute, but this not was something new to her.
"Well Tobi, carry the bitch. I'm certainly not going to do it. Oh wait, I have an idea on how we can use her. It seems that damn Uchiha is a little near here. I bet he and the Kyuubi jinchuuriki are buddy-buddy. We can use this girl right here hmmm. Tobi come on. It's time to go and make one less Uchiha in the world hmm," Deidara said as he walked off. Tobi quickly placed Yuri on his shoulder and walked off while whistling lightly.
Konohagakure, nighttime
Naruto and Kushina were right beside Tsunade as she continued to give her speech. People continued to grieve and it pained Naruto that he was seeing Konohamaru cry. He had lost the Sandaime and now his uncle. Naruto also noticed Kakashi in his black outfit for the occasion and Yugao the same. Mikoto was in the crowd of people with her head low to the ground. The people crying were Ino and Chouji. Shikamaru was just taking it hard. Naruto had heard that he had been a little anti-social and even got into a disagreement with his father. It really made Naruto wonder if he should revive Asuma or not. He especially saw Kurenai weeping.
"And we will never forget Asuma's contribution to Konoha and for all he has done for us. Thanks to him, the Will of Fire will be engraved in our hearts and in our minds," Tsunade spoke and while Naruto knew that words were nice and all, he still knew that they were just that. Words. They did nothing for nobody. That's why Shin said for Naruto to prove himself to the death god when they met. Actions speak louder than words.
People watched as Asuma's coffin was carried away while some cried. Naruto wondered if he should just stop everything and was just about to before he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto narrowed his eyes and activated his Honshou, discreetly, and turned his head. He widened his eyes to seeing Asuma. He shook his head while Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Why not?" Naruto asked softly so no one could hear him. Asuma could see the tons of people at his funeral and it broke his heart. Especially Kurenai, Konohamaru, Ino, Chouji and Shikamaru so sad. Especially knowing how Kurenai felt the most.
"I'll admit. I never thought you would be it, but it seems that you are. So that's what you were hiding from the village. And with good reason too. No one needs to know about this contract of yours. For the good of the village they can't know. You really are amazing. Naruto, as you grow older you will know that everyone has their time. No one is unbound to death. I want to be with them all, but my time is come. I'm honored that you would risk exposure of your contract for my, but I can't let you do that. They...wouldn't understand it," Asuma said to him while Naruto closed his eyes.
"If it's what you want," Naruto said while Asuma's body disappeared. People then returned to the front while Tsunade came down.
"Let's not forget him," Tsunade finally said before someone pointed to Naruto.
"Hey, you can do something can't you?! Weird stuff has been happening since you've come back! You know something don't you?" a random person asked while Naruto stiffened. Again all eyes were on Naruto and murmurs came from everyone. Kushina looked at her son worriedly while Shikamaru balled his fists. Everyone seemed confused while Naruto averted his eyes.
"Boss, what are they talking about? What do you know?" Konohamaru asked while Hiashi and Hinako narrowed their eyes while Hizashi did the same. Tsunade growled at the damned comment. Now wasn't the time to spread that rumor, even if it was true.
"Hey yeah, Namikaze-sama is said to have a legendary contract. He can do something can't he?" someone else asked. Naruto felt...unsettled by the use of his father's name. It felt defiled in this sense. The murmurs increased and members of the council started to look at Naruto more closely. Kakashi stiffened and so did Yugao and Mikoto.
"Naruto-kun, do you know something?" Hinata asked while Neji glared. Kiba and Shino did the same while Kurenai stepped out of the line. She slowly, but surely walked up to Naruto. Everyone suddenly went quiet like Kurenai had commanded them to do so. They watched her walk up to the Kyuubi jinchuuriki with her red...errrrr redder eyes from the crying while she sniffled.
"Naruto, if you can do something, anything, that can bring back Asuma to us then please. I beg you. I want you to do it. I would do anything to have him back. Please," Kurenai said while everyone on her team and Asuma's team glared. Naruto took a deep breath, but he could feel Asuma's hand on his shoulder and he could tell he was shaking his head left and right. Yes he knew, but he also knew the dangers that Kurenai's child would be in if Naruto did expose this secret. It would be a national incident from all the villages. Both big and small.
"This is a trial Shikon. What is your answer?" The Shinigami as in thought as he hovered over the resting place. Hundreds of spirits were around him as well looking at the attraction. They all wanted to rush and defend their summoner from their friends, family and comrades but they knew better before they heard Naruto say the words that would impact his village.
"I...can't do anything," Naruto told her while Kurenai held her head down. She was silent and just walked away while people began to file out. Tsunade's anger was long gone and her fist unclenched. She turned to see Naruto just watching the people leave.
"Thank you Naruto," Asuma said, but he felt Naruto just brush past him.
"Just shut up Asuma-san," Naruto said before he vanished out of sight. Kushina frowned before the others recollected themselves.
"I'm going to go after him. I think we'll meet up later," Kushina said and everyone else agreed before she took a glance at Hiashi. He nodded his head and told his family that they were leaving as well. In all truth Hiashi was worried and he would find Naruto later. The blonde was one of his close friends after all. Everyone watched Kushina shunshin out of sight while Tsunade patted Mikoto and Kakashi on the shoulder.
"It hurts him doesn't it?" Tsunade asked while Kakashi nodded. He left as well while Mikoto and Yugao decided to just go home and rest from the day.
Somewhere else
"Well that's everyone. Who would've thought huh? I can't believe that Shinigami-nii actually found a summoner. Who the hell can handle that cold attitude all the time?" a male voice asked while the others chuckled.
"I know right? And apparently it's some boy named Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha. I can't wait to pit him against my summoner. After all, life is just a game isn't it?" Another person asked. About five other people nodded and chuckled at the same time, but one wasn't. He just looked on at the ground in front of him.
"Oi, Amaterasu-neechan. What's got you so down? Don't you enjoy your summoner?" A man asked while the Goddess of the Sun snorted.
"Shut up Tsukuyomi. Life is not a game. Humans are not to be used for our amusement. You people are so stupid. I swear you're hanging around Jashin too much. You know he's a sicko," Amaterasu said while Tsukuyomi chuckled.
"Hey, at least my summoner has some tact unlike Shinigami. The guy is as cold as they come. He should learn how to have some fun with his job. Look at me, I like to create tidal waves from time to time. What can you do, Goddess of the Sun? Melt us all to death?" Tsukuyomi laughed outright while Amaterasu snorted.
"And what do you think Gaia?" Amaterasu asked another woman who was looking down with a sigh.
"I'd have to agree with you Amaterasu. I don't like this. As the Goddess of the Earth I feel that we're taking advantage of this so called "game"," Gaia said while Amaterasu nodded her head.
"Mou, you two are no fun. Just like Shinigami-nii. Learn to lighten up. Live a little like me, Inari, Izanagi and Susanoo. It's fun," A girl said while Amaterasu snorted.
"Shut up Izanami. You might be the Goddess of Creation and Death, but you have no control over the spirit realm. That's where Shinigami-niisan rules and you'd do better than to cross him. There is a reason why even we when we had our summoners couldn't beat him," Amaterasu said while Izanami groaned. She didn't even want to think about it.
"Well at least my summoner is interesting. I wonder who Baka Shin picked," Izanagi said before he was punched into a wall.
"Don't disrespect Shinigami-san," Susanoo told him while Izanagi wiped his cheek.
"Yeah whatever. So, who are the first to meet each other?" Izanagi asked while Izanami snickered.
"Shinigami-chan and Jashin-nii. Both their summoners are supposed to meet soon. Oh I can't wait to watch that. After all being a god gets quite boring with no entertainment," Izanami said and other continued to laugh. Amaterasu and Gaia sighed and looked off.
"What are we going to do? It's starting soon and all of the nations will be caught in it," Amaterasu said while Gaia shook her head.
"I don't know, but we'll come up with something. We have to," she responded before they looked at the rest of their family who didn't have a single care in the world. Both females wondered what it was like to be that blissfully ignorant. Oh well, they would learn soon enough. They all would.
KG: Like I said, drama is important to a story. And I swear if anyone tells me 'Oh you got it wrong, they are not the Namikaze family, they are the Uzumaki family' I will fuckin' destroy this computer. Yeah no, I won't. It's my computer. Fuck what you think.

Shin: Ummm no?
Naruto: Good, then could you revive-
