Explanations

"-and furthermore, why was he hiding this power?! Hokage-sama, you must see why we of the council deserve the sensitive details related to the boy. I still don't understand how you managed to hide his potential or his appearance from everyone as you did." This was the voice of one of Hiruzen's old teammates, Mitokado Homura. He and the rest of the elder council, them being Koharu and Danzo, as well as the Clan Heads, were currently having a meeting. While Hiruzen understood the validity of their questions, he didn't feel like explaining himself to them. He wasn't the one who caused the villagers to fear the boy. He wasn't the one who made Naruto feel unwelcome! If anything, those in this room should answer why they felt the need to ostracize the boy when they knew the boy wouldn't be dangerous.

That is the price to pay when you don't have faith in your Hokage.

He was getting too old for this shit.

"Alright, that's enough!" The room went quiet. "I understand your concerns about this matter, but you should understand why he did this. Why else would a boy like Naruto want to hide what he is capable of in a village that hates him?" He glared at all those there before him. Most of them flinched at that. "Naruto's life and secrets are his own. Only he can tell anyone about himself and what he is capable of. I should know what he can do as a Shinobi under my authority. That doesn't mean the rest of you need to know. We are lucky Naruto still thinks of Konoha as his home. He could have easily turned out like Gaara from Suna. Unstable."

The clan heads seemed to agree with that statement. They had heard about what happened during the exams. From the beginning, Gaara had been a menace to all that got in his way. They could only shudder in horror at the thought of Naruto becoming like that with control over the Kyubi's chakra.

"Now, if that is all, we have more pressing matters. Shikaku, if you will." He motioned towards the lazy Nara Clan Head, who sighed before standing up with a stack of papers. Sometimes, Shikaku cursed at being labeled the Jonin Commander. It was such a drag.

Currently, another meeting is happening on the village's other side. Well, more-so intervention. It was an unwilling intervention, but one that these two could not ignore—it's why teams 7, 8, and 10 were at a training ground together. Team Gai was also here, minus Rock Lee; he was still in the hospital. Naruto and Satsuki stood before the scrutiny eyes of their teammate and friends (friends being used loosely by Satsuki) as they stared them down. It wasn't intimidating or anything, but it was getting awkward.

Hinata, Ino, and Sakura had to keep their eyes trained on Naruto's face lest they get distracted by his new attire. Naruto, after his whole unsealing transformation, had changed clothing. His old jumpsuit was trashed and was replaced with something that showed off his physique. He wore a sleeveless black and orange vest, which was currently unzipped, with a red swirl on the back and nothing underneath. This showed off his toned chest and arms. He wore black combat pants with dark orange stripes going down the sides. On his feet were black shinobi sandals that his pants tucked into. There was also combat tape wrapped around the shins. His monkey tail acted as a belt, completing his outfit as it was wrapped around his waist.

"Alright, you two, it's time to spill! How long have you both been hiding your real appearance?" Ino was the first to break the silence with her question. She was leaning to stare at both of them with suspicion and intrigue. The amount of gossip she could get moving from this situation would be huge! She was also wondering about their relationship with one another. If they knew about each other's secrets, how much of their time at the academy was fake?

Naruto and Satsuki looked at one another for a moment before returning to the group. "Since before the academy," Naruto answered. Crossing his arms, he leaned against a tree before his head tilted up to stare at the blue sky. "We didn't know about each other's secrets until after we passed our genin exam." This was a surprise to Sakura. It was also pretty hurtful to hear as well. They were a team, yet, they trusted each other with their secrets but didn't even bring it up to her. Of course, she hasn't acted much of a teammate for them. She knew she wasn't anywhere close to their level. Even more so compared to what Naruto showed off at the stadium. How far did she have to catch up to them?

"Honestly, it was a complete accident when I learned about Satsuki being a girl. Even if the situation was funny and embarrassing." he chuckled while the female Uchiha glared at him with mild annoyance. No matter which version of him stayed, he was still annoying. "The shock on your face when I walked into that clearing. Didn't think you would have a birthmark down-"

"If you finish that sentence, I will tie you upside down that tree by your tail!" She yelled. Her eyes glared holes into his head. Naruto chortled with a smirk growing on his face. This received curious looks from those watching the interaction. They could question that later, though; they had more questions to get to.

"How exactly did you fake being a boy?" Kiba asked while admitting to himself that the way Sasu-Satsuki appeared now was not terrible. She was cute. He couldn't lie, he found the now-female Uchiha attractive enough to try to get a date. He would need to take time before he did that. They would all need time to adjust to the fact the person they knew to be a boy was a girl the whole time.

"A special clan created jutsu. My father wasn't delighted that I was a girl. He's a bit of a traditional ass who wanted strong male heirs. He had worked tirelessly with his medical-nin department to create this jutsu. It would allow a person to change their gender. But, like any jutsu, especially with fuinjutsu, it had flaws. I wasn't changed into a boy completely. My natural female hormones would counteract the fuinjutsu, trying to impart testosterone into my system. When that happened, I would be forced to have the fuinjutsu reapplied to keep the fake appearance. This blockhead just ran into me when it dropped, and I was enjoying being in my natural state for once."

All the girls seemed to grimace or get annoyed at that answer. Leave it to a man to try and change his daughter into a son. The other boys felt it best to step away from their female comrades, knowing any provocation from them would result in pain later.

"What's with the tail?" Tenten was the one to ask the next question. Naruto blinked before his eyes went down to said appendage. He unfurled it from his waist and let it swing around behind.

"Part of my Saiyan heritage. I won't go into full details about what a Saiyan is since it would require a long time to explain but know that part of my family was not from here. And by here, I mean this planet in general." This threw everyone for a loop. He can't be serious. They were to believe that someone in his family belonged to another planet? That's just ridiculous! There's no way Naruto was part alien; Aliens couldn't be real, either.

Right?

"Why is your hair red now?" Choji asked while snacking on one of his favorite brands of chips. He wasn't curious much like everyone else, about Naruto's change. The guy was still the same Naruto they knew, just a little different now. However, the hair change was strange. His dad is the only other person he's seen with hair near that color.

"Oh, that?" Naruto ran his hand through his crimson locks with a soft smile. "It is my natural hair color. I never was a blonde despite living like one for so long. If you must know, all Uzumakis have red hair. If you need more information, ask your family about the Uzumaki Clan." Yet another surprise for everyone! The Uzumaki were a clan?! Since when? Why did Naruto's existence bring more questions than answers?!

"If that's all the questions you guys have, then I'll see you all later," Naruto said, with everyone watching him beginning to fly in the air. Shikamaru was slightly jealous now. He could fly and be with the clouds all he wanted. Satsuki just closed her eyes and walked away. This whole thing felt like a waste of time. She only did it because Naruto was forced to do so as well.

Sighing, she continued her trek while her old classmates dispersed. Looking up, she saw Naruto flying to the south of the village. He is most likely heading home himself. She wondered if there was a way for her to learn how to fly like that. She wouldn't confront him about it, though. Just cause they shared each other's secrets in the past didn't mean she would be asking the dobe for any help. If she couldn't get stronger with her abilities, what was the point in asking someone else to teach her something she didn't know anything about? His "Ki" or whatever was different energy compared to chakra.

Besides, it wasn't that cool...

'Well, that was a waste of time.' Naruto thought to himself. He was going to make a stop at his apartment. Unfortunately for him, it was one of the few places in its area that were destroyed. Those hired for the rebuilding process, those from within Konoha, were spending their sweet time rebuilding it. AKA, they were not because they knew he was the one who lived there. Didn't matter to him. He had planned on moving out of that place anyway. They were saving him the trouble. Not like he had anything important in there. Most of what he owned that was important was sealed in a scroll that he kept on him or Jiraiya.

Speaking of the pervert. Naruto could see his form outside the hot springs—a typical spot. Floating just above him and seeing that his godfather was up to his usual perverted ways, Naruto decided to have a little fun. Holding up a finger, a small ball of ki appeared. Smirking, he aimed for his backside and shot it. The results were as expected. Jiraiya yelled loudly from being shot in the ass, which caused him to slam into the wall he was peeking through. Then, like clockwork, women from the other side came out wrapped in towels with murderous intent filling their eyes.

"Uh... have mercy?" Jiraiya asked while giving an uneasy smile. When he saw the woman in front crack her knuckles, the two behind her pulled out kunai. Where they held them, he wasn't sure. He had more pressing matters to focus on. Like the pain these women were now doing against him. Naruto chuckled at the girly screams the old toad was letting out. It was music to him. When he brought out his Saiyan heritage, it released his sadistic side. After three to five minutes of watching his godfather get beaten up, the women left him before returning to the hot springs. He chose this time to land down next to his crumpled body and chuckled.

"You never learn, do you, Ero-sennin?" Naruto questioned with a smirk on his face. Jiraiya grumbled while dusting himself off—no respect for a man of his craft or skills.

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that. What are you doing here anyway; Weren't you going to be training to get used to your body again?"

"Meh," He shrugged while watching his Sensei grab his notepad to write down some things. "I think the whole fighting during the invasion gave me a good enough adjustment. Though, I'll need to practice using my ki again. I used a lot more energy for attacks than I meant to use. Especially when I took down that barrier."

"Well, you can work on that later. I talked with Sensei before he was stuck in a meeting with the council. He assigned me to go searching for his next successor. Senju Tsunade, my old teammate, and your Godmother." Naruto hummed lightly while rubbing his chin. So, he would finally meet his Godmother, who has been awol for more than half of her life, and his own. He got lucky that Jiraiya was searching for him when he was younger to reveal everything. Granted, from what he told him, the toads gave him a beating every day he didn't come to talk with him when he was a child. At least he had someone looking out for him.

"Alright, then. When do we head out? I could use a moment to gather some things. My apartment building was one of the few destroyed in that area because of that stupid snake. You already can guess that the assholes in charge are spending their sweet time building it." Jiraiya sighed at that. People were idiots; despite how much he loved this village, he couldn't help but feel it sometimes needed a good kick in the ass. The invasion did help with that little department, but it didn't help with how people still saw his godson.

"It can't be helped. Seeing as you decided to unseal yourself now, you would leave that dump for good. You remember the direction of the house your parents left you, right?" He received a nod, which made him smirk. Naruto suddenly raised his hand to catch a scroll that Jiraiya had tossed to him and saw it labeled 'keys.' "Then that's all you need right now. When we get back, you can head into your parent's estate and get settled down. Luckily, their house wasn't completely in the village and is a little bit away within the surrounding forests." Naruto grinned before placing the scroll away in one of his pouches.

This was perfect for him. All that would be left is having him recognized as the heir to the Uzumaki clan. With his abilities, there was no way anyone could deny him. Not like the Old Man would do such a thing. It was only a matter of time of when it would happen, never if it would.

And that would give him official access to his old clan home. He knew his grandmother's shuttle was left there, and still, things were left untouched. Even if Kushina and Minato had taken a few pieces of their parents' shuttles for Konoha to study, there was still loads more that he felt they left behind.

"Awesome! Then what are we waiting for? We got a woman to find!" Jiraiya had to cover his face when Naruto took off from the ground so fast it created an updraft. When he moved his hands, he saw the blonde Saiyan flying across the sky towards the north gate.

"HEY! Wait for me! Not all of us can fly like you, ya damn gaki!" Jiraiya shouted. He was running and jumping across the rooftops to catch up. Many questioned why they heard laughter echoing through the village like a passing wind.

"My lady, you need to wake up." An angelic voice spoke up. The woman was pretty tall, standing around six feet tall, with light blue skin. She had white hair wrapped into a bun with two chopsticks keeping it in place. Her outfit was an amber-colored robe with a red cuirass over it. The cuirass had black diamond shapes lining the front with the striped black sides. In her hand was a black scepter with gold at the top. Floating above it was a dark gem with a blue ring around it. Similarly, there was also a blue ring that floated around her neck. The robe covered Most of her body, so there was no way of knowing what kind of body she had. Currently, this woman was trying to wake up her master, who was lying in her God-sized bed that had dark blue and lavender blankets and pillows. The angel watched her lady take a pillow and place it over her head.

"sigh, guess you want it the hard way." she tried to say this sympathetically, but the smirk on her blue lips told otherwise. Raising her scepter in the air, a bucket filled with cold water appeared. She wasted no time in letting it fall over and splashing her liege. There was a loud shriek that echoed across the planet they lived on.

"WHAT THE HELL, KARI?!"

"You weren't getting up, Mea. You do have a schedule to keep, my lady and I can't have you sleep in every day." Kari said with a closed-eye smile. The one named Mea grumbled as she removed the wet covers and clothing from her body. Standing up, she stretched out and sighed at the relieving cracks she heard. This woman stood shorter than the other, five foot eight in height. Still relatively tall for a woman. She has dark mocha skin that looks smoothed and soft. Her bare breast was plump and held no sag from the looks of it, being around D to Double D size. Her hair was white like snow, shaped into a mohawk down to her left side. She had a bubble butt with wide hips and a small patch of snow-white hair just before her nether regions. Showing she was indeed natural. After stretching, she opened her eyes, which were an electric blue color with a storm-gray sclera.

"Was it necessary to use a water bucket on me?"

"Yes."

"Why do you enjoy ruining my sleep?"

"I have no idea what you mean, my lady."

Mea growled, seeing that cheeky smirk on her angel's face. Being the God of Destruction with such a cheeky angel was fine, but only when her mischievous tricks were on other people. She just wanted to sleep in, damn it! Sighing, she just turned around and headed for her restroom to shower. After fifteen minutes of relaxing in her luxury bath, she returned with a lavender crop top that left her shoulders bare. Around her collarbone was a blue and gold collar cloth. Around her waist was a black wrap that held up her black skirt. Her hair was fully up after being washed and was now a full mohawk look with the back curving forward (Think of Storm from the Marvel comics when she had a mohawk). She wore high-heeled shoes to finish her GoD look, which she knew made her look extremely sexy.

"Let me eat before you start giving me any kind of news," Mea said while moving past her angel. Kari giggled and followed along with her lady to the feast hall.

"Are you sure? I have found some interesting news about a race we thought went extinct."

"Oh, joy," she said in a monotone voice while sitting at her table. Food was freshly prepared for her earlier before Kari had come and rudely awakened her. Mea didn't wait to start digging into an omelet in front of her. "Whatever or whoever it is can wait. I like to get a full meal before I destroy anything."

"I don't think you would want to destroy this one. The person is a Saiyan." A smirk came to the angel's face when she saw her liege stop mid-bite and turned to her with surprise. "I felt a spike in their energy far off on a planet that isn't connected with the rest of the universe. They are also the only Ki level I've sensed on the planet, but the people there also have a different energy source coursing through their body."

Mea rubbed her temple and sighed. How could a whole planet go so far off her radar? Did the Kai of their sector even know about this? If they did, she would pound the bastard through his planet for not letting her know about this place. "Alright. Tell me everything you found out about this place. But only after I finish eating!" She glared at Kari, who shrugged and sat down. Satisfied, Mea returned to her meal while thinking about this new planet they hadn't noticed before.

OKAY, THIS IS THE FINAL EDIT CAUSE I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL THREE CHAPTERS NEEDED EDITING!

JANGOMAN, SIGNING OUT!
