Cat: Naruto
Title: Pain, Suffering, Healing
Rating: M
Pairing: Naruto X Anko/Shizune/F Gaara/F Kurama, Lee X Tenten, Tsunade X Jiraiya, Shikamaru X Temari,
Summary: People could go through periods of pain, people endured times of suffering, but after all of that came the healing. Uzumaki Naruto has suffered through pain his entire 17 years of life. Now three beauties will do their best to heal his soul, mind, and heart.
Okay. So aside from the Entire website shutting down for about two days, I had to THROW THE ENTIRE CHAPTER OUT! It had to be thrown as it wouldn't have fit after last chapter. I was on one of the most integral parts of the original Pain, Suffering, and Healing, but After how the previous chapter ended, I needed to change the entire chapter and push it back! I still have moved the chapter to notes, but I needed to change it.
So for anyone interested, I'm going to create a forum and community.
Review Response
Yami Luna Kitsune: Yep they had a kid. I directly hinted at it during the last interlude. I had Yakumo smoke since there seems to be a bit of a stigma- or at least there use to be- about making characters smoke. People often smoke to reduce stress levels and Yakumo would definitely be under tons of stress after everything that happened. And as far as Yakumo and Sex goes... yeah she tapped into her Inner Demon Lol! I got more on the way! FEED THE KITSUNE!
Majestic Yo-kai Fauntleroy: Nor really. I honestly think that despite Hashirama and Madara being prodigies I think Tobirama was like Naruto and Lee in a way. A geinus of hard work. Because while I know that Madara considered Hashirama the only person who could beat him Tobirama was throwing hands with Madara in that flashback chapter! Capture the YO-KAI!
Reedz22: No. No I couldn't either. While Naruto is known to forgive some people majority of those, he forgives have a shot at redemption. Others are just to far gone. For instance, he forgave Zabuza, but he never forgave Kabuto or Orochimaru. And before its asked. We don't talk about Boruto no no no! We Don't Talk about Boruto! LOL.
Kriegar Techpreist: I know it doesn't get talked about a lot, but when you honestly think about it yeah Naruto's world is REALLY fucked up. They glossed over a lot of stuff, because while we have an idea of what some missions entail, we never really got the full scope. As for the Baby when a man and woman do the tango... OUCH! Okay. Yukie was about two months pregnant. When Naruto and Jiraiya left, she was about 4 or five months along but didn't show. And Yes that is possible for some women to never show. Anko was a fangirl at one point for Orochimaru- NO NOT LIKE THAT!- But yeah, we about to hit a whole new level of crazy.
Ryu Wolf: Thank you... Here's a stake. Prime Cut!
Zaara the Black: Thanks
IloveMADB: I know how your name is spelled, but certain names won't work properly. Next. HOLY FUCK I had to defrag that to read it and understand it. You put in so many points that it would have been better to PM me this stuff. I can't address everything you said without a lengthy Opening. You said you're on chapter two, but post the review in chapter ten. Did you read the notes at the start of the chapters? Make it make sense! Yes, I could have called it Demonic or Corrupted chakra, but guess what that translates to YOKI. I did read what you said and i'm not ignoring any of your points, but I have to clean up what you said and post an entire opening just to clerifiy half the stuff you put. I will clear up one thing though. I am rewriting some of this from memory. Mostly the KEY points. I've hit three key points, but I'd have to break them down because as much as I rewrote this story I've also changed a lot of it as well. For starters the Original PSH was Naruto X Anko ONLY, this is a Naruto Harem story. Next, it was originally five epic-length chapters where I have made it into more bite-sized portions. I haven't done any 'bashing', and It's only natural for some people to compare themselves to others. Ie sisters or two women who have spent the last 15 or so years together Tsunade and Shizune. One of whom has been confirmed to have self-image issues when compared to her master. MADB. I'm not taking away anything you wrote in your review. I honestly like that you're giving advice on it and such. Even though I'm rewriting this story This is all ME. This isn't me using the original writer's style. It's 100 percent me. And you said I'm using 'Old' Fan fiction writing tropes. I started writing YEARS ago. When names like VFSNAKE, The Fifth Rider of Armageddon, MikeJV37, and as much as I hate to include this name Kyuubi16 were all big names. Back when we didn't know shit about how the story was turning out. When the Kyubi was a DEMON and not a massive ball of chakra.
This isn't me coming at you, but I can't give you all the answers and say a lot of what I want to say in a Review Response.

Healing pt 3
Location: Konoha
Place: Shinobi North barracks
Time: 1025
The barracks was Konoha's way of solving the issue where Shinobi without families, unwed, or the means to afford an apartment in the better parts of Konoha. There were five barracks scattered around Konoha. Each Gate had at least 4 barracks compounds with the majority of the Shinobi population split between the Northeast and North-west sections as Konoha's greatest enemies Kumo and Iwa were in those directions.
Naruto sat at his dining table looking at the letter that he had just gotten from Tazuna. The Messenger Ninja that Naruto had hired managed to get the message to the town Tazuna lived in and back in less than 4 days. The return message was clear in that Tazuna would need to be escorted to Konoha to look at the location and see what he would need to get the place up to snuff. Naruto would have to cough up the cash for an A-ranked mission. Normally this is something that he would do himself, but since he was still under orders to stay in Konoha the only thing that he was allowed to do was train. He already had an idea of the team he wanted to hire, but he would do that in person.
Well train and work with Yasaka to figure out more of his skills and abilities. He also ended up eating lunch with Anko or Shizune every day. Shizune and Naruto more often than not could be seen together and had even spent several nights just talking. More than once Naruto had fallen asleep on her couch. Anko had asked him about it once, but all she got from Naruto was that they were old friends.
He still hadn't seen Sakura or Sasuke. Not that he didn't try. It was the orders of Tsunade that Naruto and Sasuke be kept at least a room apart if they were in the same building. Sakura was constantly working in the hospital, or she was engaged as Sasuke's nurse. Then again if she wanted to see him she would have sought him out. He was dreading the day he spoke to both of them. Or at least dreading the day he spoke to team Seven as a whole.
Leaning into his chair he picked up a book that he had been reading as well as the calligraphy set that he had been writing on using his left hand. Intermediate Sealing arries, by Uzumaki Arashi. Whoever this guy was he was an absolute genius. He had figured out that just because one was good at beginner-level seals such as explosive tags, sealing scrolls, and gravity seals that was only the surface of it. He detailed how some sealing arrys could be interlaced so intricately into an object that it could become almost alive.
For instance, the chapter that Naruto was reading was about the original form of the Seven Shinobi swords that were commissioned for mercenaries during the Warring Clans Era. How each blade was created based off the designs of the wielder. While some of the blades like Kabutowari and Nuibari were constructed purely for the skill of the wielder the others were each created and then interlaced with masterful seals. This was particularly true for the deadliest of all the Seven Swords. Samehada. It was created from the shed skin of the Three-tailed beast. The way it was designed was that it chose its master, not the other way around. It was more a symbiotic relationship than one of Master-servent. It was also one of the only known weapons that could stop a Buuji's chakra.
Naruto shivered remembering when he fought Kisame AKA the tailess Buuji as a Genin. Well, fought isn't the right word to describe what happened. When he met the man It had been Naruto trying not to piss himself while Itachi just looked on without a care in the world. Naruto knew that Zabuza was considered part of the strongest Generation of the Seven Shinobi swordsmen, but Kisame was a monster compared to even Zabuza who was only an A-ranked Rouge Shinobi.
The red-haired young man closed the book and rose to his feet. He needed to get to the mission office and put in a request for a team to escort Tazuna here.
Location: Konoha
Place: Hokage Tower; Tsunade's office
Time: 1200
Jiraiya walked into Tsunade's office and saw her sitting at her desk. He didn't even bother to suppress the wince. Tsunade's right hand was wrapped in bandages and her left eye was a nice dark purple. Walking over he took a seat before her.
"I got to ask what's with the shiner?" asked Jiraiya.
"A parting gift from Shizune. I told her about what happened with Naruto last night," said Tsunade.
"I take it she took exception to what you did?" asked Jiraiya.
"Considering that she didn't even know that I left Naruto to die, yeah. She wasn't happy with me. With all the shit I put her to throw over the years who would have thought that the brat was the thing that would break the camal's back. She even quiet as my assistant," said Tsunade.
"Is that the reason you haven't healed the shiner?" asked the Toad Sage
"Hardly. Shizune developed her own skills over the last few years to combat people with healing factors. There are quite a few jutsu and abilities that can speed up natural healing. Even my appearance and youth is a form of hyper regeneration and Genjutsu," said Tsunade feeling proud of her frist apprentice in her development of this skill.
Jiraiya looked at his wife and sighed as he took her cup of sake and chugged it. "If this is how one of the kids acts then Naruto is going to kick my ass when he finds out I'm his godfather," said Jiraiya.
Tsunade looked at the man with a raised eyebrow. "You had five years to tell him that you were his godfather and never did?" asked Tsunade.
Jiraiya shrugged. "The time never seemed right.
A knock sounded on Tsunade's door.
"Enter," said Tsunade.
The door opened and Sarutobi Kurenai walked into the room. The young woman who had become semi-retired due to the fact that she had given birth to a daughter three years ago and just 5 months ago gave birth to a Son Sarutobi Hiruzen the Second. After Shizune had quit she reached out to a few people to see if anyone wanted the job as her assistant and Kurenai had been the first to accept. While not on the same level as Shizune the fact that she was a Genjutsu mistress put her on par with organizational skills when it came to the way she did things.
"What is it Kurenai-san?" asked Tsunade.
Kurenai bowed. "I apologize Jiraiya-sama, Hokage-sama, but there is someone here to meet you," said Kurenai.
"Who is it?" asked Tsunade.
"The Daimyo of Spring Country Kazuharu Koyukie and the YukiKage Yuki Yoko," said Kurenai.
Both Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other. Such important people coming to the village, everyone would have known they were there within an hour. Tsunade would have even met them at the gate. No, for them to have gotten so close without anyone knowing, means that they had left their entourage and come directly here.
"Please escort her in," said Tsunade.
Kurenai bowed and did as her leader asked. The two women and a small child who came in made it easy to understand why it was hard for her people to figure out that they had a celebrity in their village. Both of the woman and child wore plain clothes that wouldn't be out of place for a resident of the village. However, the woman behind her screamed Jonin. She was relaxed but on guard.
"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama. It is a pleasure to see you both. Or at least meet you both in person," said Koyuki bowing with the other woman following suit
"Koyuki-sama what do I owe the honor of you coming to my village?" asked Tsunade.
"I actually just finished, alliance trade and treaty negotiations with the officials of the Fire Daymio court and figured that I could stop in and introduce you to the leader of my own Shinobi forces,"
"Yuki Yoko. At your service. I look forward to working with you in the future Hokage-sama," said the Yukikage
Tsunade rose from her seat and shuck the other woman's hands. "And I am at your service Yukikage-sama. I will arrange accommodations for you while you are in Konoha," said Tsunade.
"That would be much appreciated. Thank you," said Yoko.
"SO who's the little tyke?" asked Jiraiya.
"Sorry for not introducing him sooner," said Yukie as she removed his hoodies and facemask Jiraiya and Tsunade froze as they got a better look at the babe.
"This is my son. The heir to Spring Country Kazahana Takato,"
"Is... Is Naruto The father?" asked Tsunade.
"That's just another reason i'm here. I want Naruto to meet his son," said Yukie with a smile.
"Congratulations Tsunade-hime. You're a grandmother," said Jiraiya sarcastically.
Yukie looked between Jiraiya and Tsunade. "I thought Naruto was an orphan.
"It's complicated," said Tsunade.
"We have time Tsunade-sama," said Yoko.

If you had told Neji Hyuga that his path lay in the teaching, than you'd have probably been beaten. Three years a Jonin. Missions, training, and political maneuvering within Konoha and the Hyuga clan itself. The only reason he was a Jonin-sensei with two weeks under his wing was because Gai-sensei had recommended it to him. Said it would help with some of his emotional instability. For the most part he was rgiht. Not having his father in his life and his mother practically a stranger really messed up his head as a kid.
He just hoped that he could get these children to at least act like adults and grew to be the next great team of Konoha.
He told them to meet him at the mission offices. They were 0.02 seconds late at the moment.
"Hey Neji, long time no see!" came a voice that was familiar yet different.
Neji looked down the road to see Naruto walking over. No he was vastly different from the how he use to look. "Uzumaki-sama. It is good to see you again," said Neji.
Naruto frowned. "Uzumaki-sama?
"Hai. It has recently gotten around the village that you are potentially going to create a clan... or rather revive a founding clan.
Naruto sighed. "Look Neji, i'm not going to do this. Call me Naruto. I'm not used to all the fancy titles and such that come with being an Uzumaki ya know?" asked Naruto.
Very well Naruto-san. How have you been lately?" asked Neji.
"Ever since I got out the hospital I've been great. What about you?" asked Naruto.
"I've been quite busy. Especially since I began a Jonin-sensei," said Neji.
Naruto's eyes widned. "No shit? You, a Jonin-sensei?" said Naruto.
"Neji-nii-sama does not exaggerate!" yelled a girl as she and two others appeared in the field. One he instantly recognized as Yakumo, only instead of her brown Kimono she wore a knee-length skirt and sleeveless shirt. Across her back was a scroll.
The girl who spoke was a short Stack with an attitude. she wasn't taller than 5'1". She also who looked a lot like Hinata, only with dark brown hair instead of blue that reaches well past her well past her hips and tied into a lower ponytail, with a white ribbon. Her hair now, and instead of massive breasts, she seemed to have legs and hips. She wore her hair in the traditional Hyuga style. She wore s a tan-coloured and long-sleeved battle kimono with red-orange flames designed on the bottom, , and and black boot like sandals.
The girl on her left was probably an Inuzuka if the gray-black Pitbull-like hound was anything to go off of. She fit the profile anyway. Shaggy black hair, slit black pupils, red fang-like marks on her face, and she wore black short shorts, a red shirt that revealed a tight stomach and a jacket that was zipped just below her budding chest.
"Exaggerating or not I like the look of this Alpha. I bet your packing down there," said the Inuzuka girl.
"Oh believe me he is. Oh He is," said Yakumo reaching up to grab the cigarette that she kept tucked behind her ear.
Hanabi didn't say anything as she went atomic red almost like her older sister use to do. "HENTAI!"
The Inuzuka girl frowned. "Get the stick out your ass girl. Sex is just part of life,"
"A part that needs to be behid closed doors Ao-san!" yelled Hanabi.
"Tell that to street walkers," said Yakumo.
"What's a street walker?" asked Hanabi.
"A lady of the night or the more colorful term a prostitute. The red light district is full of them," said Yakumo.
"Hanabi-sama, Yakumo-sama, Ao-san that is no way to speak while out in the field," said Neji.
Hanabi closed one eye. "Hai Neji-sensei," said Hanabi.
"Whatever you say Neji-san," said Yakumo.
Ao gave a mock salute. "You got it boss," said Ao.
"Now I have an appreciation for Gai-sensei for putting up with my attitude when I was a genin," said Neji.
"Speaking of teams, What about team Gai as a whole?" asked Naruto turning to look at his former Chunin Exam rival.
"As you have no doubt guessed Team Gai is no more. I passed the Jonin Exam a year ago, while Lee and Tenten passed the Chunin exams about two years ago. We still take missions as a team from time to time, but not often. Gai-sensei handles more active-duty missions than before. Lee splits his time between teaching at the academy as the Taijutsu instructor and Tenten has gone into the reserves reserve, but has chosen to open a weapon shop," said Neji.
"Hey Sensei, can you quit with the boring old man talk and tell us more about Mr. Handsome!? Asked Ao.
Naruto laughed. "I like your spunk kid," said Naruto.
"SO does that mean that you'll go on a date with me?" asked Ao pointing to herself and blushing.
Naruto shuck his head. "Maybe if you were a few years older. Sorry, but I don't need Tsume-san or Hana-san coming after my head," said Naruto.
"Unscrupulous mutt. have yo no shame! Acting like a bitch in heat at a pretty face," said Hanabi turning her nose up at Ao.
"Did she just say i look good?" aksed Naruto.
"No one ever said Hanabi-sama had good taste," said Neji.
"You wanna go, you uptight bitch!?" yelled Ao. while Neji sighed.
"She is much like you Naruto-san. While Hanabi-sama is easy to train as she understands our family fighting style teaching these two has been a tad more difficult," said Neji.
"I have a bit of time. How did you test them?" asked Naruto.
"As you well know each sensei has their own method to how a team passes the Genin exam. I simply told them that they had an hour to make me take my hands from behind my back," said Neji.
Naruto nodded. That was quite an interesting way to train them. He pretty much knew how each of them fought to an extent.
A Thought came to Naruto's mind.
"Hey how would you and your team like to handle an A-ranked escort mission on my request?" asked the red haired young
"An A-ranked mission!? What's the job handsome!?" asked Ao with a grin on her face.
Yakumo and Hanabi didn't open their mouths but looked at Naruto in interest.
"An A-ranked mission Naruto-san. That seems like a bit to much for my team," said Naruto.
"I didn't expect you guys to go alone. I was originally going to request team Eibsu since Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon are at least Chunin level.
"You would choose that baka Konohamaru over us!? Unacceptable! Neji-nii-sama please accept Uzumaki-sans request! I refuse to lose to that... that monkey!" yelled Hanabi.
Naruto looked at Hanabi beofre turning to Neji.
"Konohamaru-sama and Hanabi-sama have something akin to a rivalry. The Other Jonin-sensei's and I regularly hold joint training excurses and go on missions together. Last count in sparing was 24-18 in Hanabi-sama's favor and that was from her academy days," said Neji.
"Hummp! I still think that Konohamaru-baka is no match for me. Let's Go Neji-sensei!" yelled Hanabi with her teammates following her.
"Hanabi-sama Naruto still needs to put the request in!" yelled Neji
Now Naruto understood. They were like himself and Sasuke if they had been on different teams. At least he hoped her sibling didn't go on a clan murder rampage. He couldn't imagine Hinata doing something like that. Then again, the quiet ones were always hiding a darkness... Nah. That was a myth.
Somewhere in the land of fire the Heiress of the Hyuga clan sneezed. She wiped her nose with her unbleeded hand.
Slamming the Kunai into the dirt she straddled the waist of the blonde and smiled at her. Hinata leaned down and placed her forehead to the bleeding blonde. the girl who had come on this mission with her.
"Remember Yamanaka Naruto-kun is mine,"

Okay. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. If it seems rushed or seems off I'm sorry. To me it feels like a bad chapter.
