Review Response

Majestic Yo-Kai Fauntleroy: I think he did train Naruto a bit, at least more than him learning to use more of Kyubi's Chakra. I want to think that he did just a bit more.

Reedz22: Thanks, and I had to do something like that. Often times I do wonder who took care of Naruto for the first few years of his life.

Sniperbro1998: Yep and I'm only getting started Jack.

Ryu Wolf: TO be honest I think Tenten would make a better ANBU than any other member of the Konoha 11.

Yami Luna Kitsune: Bear Country is a real place. I know it appeared in either a movie or a filler arc. Anyway, hope you like the chapter FEED THE KITSUNE!

Spark681: AHHH! A GHOST! Oh, Spark it's just you. Don't scare me like that. How will Naruto react? I wonder?

Krieger Techpreist: Lets be real Tenten is probably the one female who will seriously fight Naruto if push came to shove. So yeah she wanted that smoke, and Naruto was about to fire that ass up

Pain pt 4

Location: Land of Fire

Place: Cold camp

Time: 2200

There were times that missions were slow in Konoha Or at least there were not an abundance of anything over a C-ranked mission. This was called the 'Down period.' During the down period, it wasn't uncommon for Kunoichi and Shinobi to take a second job. It was also during this time that several people decided to go to one of the border patrols. Long Range to Short Range. Long range Boarder patrols were as they said long range. Since majority of Countries that boarded the land of fire could reach Konoha or even the capital within 2 3 days.

The long-range border patrols were about a month long and traveled the entire perimeter of the Land of Fire Boarders. There were the Outer patrols. The inner patrols went to the smaller inner towns for a week.

During the Second Shinobi War and Third Shinobi War, these were considered important positions. Battles could be won or lost with an effective Board Patrol Team. After the third shinobi war, the Border Patrol was considered a punishment. Many Shinobi had gone on this patrol. Normally the Long-Range patrols were where they were sent on lasted a total of at least a month. The inner range patrols lasted a total of a week at worst

So Mitirashi Anko was on her fourth day as part of a four-man team with her acting as the squad leader. She had changed out her usual clothes for a sleeveless black shirt, her left arm was wrapped in tape, and instead of pants, she had mid-thigh-length shorts. Currently, the group was on a rest break and eating precooked ration bars. her reason for this was because while she did like her clothes, she needed to be more practical when it came to border patrols.

As they ate one of the Chunin's eyed up Anko. He hid it well, but he wanted to take her to bed. Sexual encounters and one-night stands. The rosters were created at random, and the individuals were notified within a day of the departure, so security leaks were minimal.

The Chunin Kotoma had been on four patrols with Anko over the last 6 years. And every time he had tried to talk her into having sex. She may have been a snake whore, but she was beautiful. Sure the other female was up for anything, but Kotoma had fucked her enough as is and wanted something else. Something with a bit of an exotic flavor to it.

"Hey Mitarishi-san how about we dip off for a moment for some stress relief," said Kotoma using the Code for Sex on mission.

Anko looked at Kotoma with a blank expression on her face, before shaking her head at him. "Sorry bub, but I have my eyes on Someone in Konoha. And you just don't stack up to him," said Anko

He came up to Anko and walked his fingers across her shoulders. "Come on. I'm sure that it will be fun," said Kotoma as he gently gripped the zipped and began to pull it down

A kunai appeared in Anko's hand and brought it up to his junk. Kotoma froze in fear, before slowly backing up.

"I said no asshole. Try that again and I'll feed your balls to you dripped in wasabi," grinned Anko.

The largest member of their Group an Akamichi named Tofu laughed with quite a booming voice as he tugged at his beard. "Shot down again huh Kotoma-san!? You might as well give up," said Tofu who had been on 3 of the four teams with Anko and Kotoma.

Strangely enough, Anko considered him a friend. Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that they both loved Dango. He was the only person in Konoha who could out eat her when it came to the food of the gods! Why did she taste miso raman all of a sudden?

Not important!

Kotoma blushed in rage. "Shut up fat ass! The only way you ever get any is with Asuka-san here gives it up out of pity!"

The petite medic-nin on their detail looked at Tkotoma and raised an eyebrow. "Funny I didn't hear you complaining when you were begging me to suck you off on night one. Besides love complicates shit if you ask me. I'm happy with the occasional good hard fuck on patrol," said Asuka straching her arms above her head.

Tofu laughed at Kotoma. "Aside from Kotoma's stupid comments why have you not tried to get with anyone Anko-san?"

"I don't want to talk about it guys," said Anko as she ate her raton.

"Come on Mitirashi-chan! You're like one of the sexiest women in Konoha. You have to have some good stories about hook ups!" said Asuka.

"Look if you really want to know I've had my eye on Uzumaki Naruto for a while now," said Anko as she looked away from her team to hide the blush. She had just admited that she had a crush on a man ten years her junior.

Kotoma looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "The brat? What does he have that I don't?" asked Kotoma.

Asuka smirked. "For your sake I'll list them. He has political clout, lineage, cash, handsome, even when he was a 'brat' his whiskers were really cute. From what I heard he has a cock that could turn a lesbian straight. Need I go on?" asked Asuka as she crawled on all fours to Tofu and snuggled up to him.

Tofu grinned at his smaller friend before putting an arm around her. "Cold?" asked Tofu.

"Umhuh. I hate cold camping," said Asuka.

"Put up with it for now. We return to Konoha in two days," said Anko.

Kotoma took an aggressive bite of his ration and glared at the group with annoyance. Sure Kotoma wasn't from a clan or anything like that, but he had a decent record for a first-generation Shinobi. He didn't see why Anko didn't want him. He even had a good chance of becoming

"Someone just entered my range," said Kotoma. He was a sensor-type Shinobi and had a range of at least 500 meters.

Instantly everyone was on alert as Asuka got behind Tofu who summoned a large sword from a scroll. As Anko rose to her feet. While Kotoma jumped into the trees prepared to attack from the darkness.

Out of the darkness, a figure walked into their field of range. It was two figures. It was two people Anko recognized.

The pale-eyed girl rose her eyes and looked at the group before them. "Anko-san... I need an intimidating escort to Konoha. Ino-chan is hurt!" yelled Hinata.

Anko cursed. "Kotoma begin making your way to Konoha. Tofu, Asuka get Ino-san and begin healing her. I'll bring up the rear Hyuga tell me what happened," said Anko as the team took off towards Konoha.

Location: Konoha

Place: Haruno Residence

Time: 1000

Haruno Kazuki sat in his office chair as he looked over the documents that had come into his position. The retired rival of the Namikaze Minato glared at the documents. He had had the documents since that fated Council meeting almost a month ago and no matter how many times he read over the document it always said the same thing.

A perfect 99.9 percent DNA match for Namikaze Minato. And a Perfect 99.9 percent DNA match to Uzumaki Kushina.

In truth, Kazuki could give two fucks about the DNA match for Minato. No, it was the DNA match for Kushina that piqued his interest. During his Academy days and well into his Chunin years, even after he married Mebuki on the orders of his father, he harbored feelings for Kushina. Kushina was a princess ne, she was a goddess-given mortal form. To him, her beauty rivaled that of the fabled Moon goddess from the tale of the Great Tree.

The Haruno clan was a merchant clan by trade with only one generation of Shinobi before his. And that was his Great uncle. He wasn't a strong Shinobi in fact he wasn't even listed as anyone of note having died a fool's death and leaving behind no legacy. Not even any strong jutsu or something that could be passed down to his family. At least Kazuki had been decent at Kenjutsu and Genjutsu. When he was still active he was known as the Illusion Sword. It was actually a common tactic to pair Genjutsu with some type of weapon specialty. That was the reason he rivaled his old teammate Minato in skills. While Minato was fast Kazuki could make himself appear and disappear at will. He even mastered his Genjutsu to the point where he could nearly replicate the fabled Tsykuyomi.

He once thought that he was a shoo-in for the position of Fourth Hokage with only Orochimaru-san and Minato being contenders for the position as well. His plans changed when he fought The future Fourth Raikage Ay alongside Minato. Ay had demolished Kazuki within minutes of their fight starting, showing that he was nothing. And Minato had lasted several minutes. Long enough for backup to arrive and get them to safety. Thanks to that fight majority of Kazuki's chakra points in his left arm were beyond damaged and useless. While he would regain use of the air he would never be able to mold chakra with it again. This during a time of war meant the end of his shinobi career.

And so he switched from combat to politics. He quickly rose to become one of the most powerful figures in Konoha. After the Kyubi incident happened he had been firmly in the camp of killing the newborn to make sure that the demon didn't escape. Unlike everyone else who was calling for blood Kazuki wanted it done because while he trusted his old rival and teammate creatures that were sealed inside other beings were unpredictable and any number of things could have went wrong with the sealing. The child's soul could have been devoted, the power was to much for the boy's mind. Any number of things and they all put the village in danger.

A knock sounded on his office door breaking his focus.

"Enter," said Kaz it opened and Mebuki entered the room. Kazuki could say that he loved his wife, but they were not in love with each other. She was from a Merchant family in the capital. She was an avowed Naruto-Hater and would do anything to see the boy dead. Unlike her husband, she had been privy to information that would see the boy harmed in his youth. Quite a few 'Fox hunting sessions' were funded by herself after all

"Dear pouring over those documents isn't going to change things," said Mebuki knowing what her husband was doing.

"The fact that Minato and Kushina-chan's son lives changes many things Mebuki-chan. Sakura is the closest person to Sakura-chan since they were teammates for almost a year," said Kazuki.

"Well, my Sakura-chan still has her eyes and heart set on the Uchiha boy,"

"As do many civilians, but how many are looking at the prospects? The Council hasn't initiated the CRP due to the simple fact that the individual in question must agree to it unless convicted of a major crime. The Uchiha marked as a missing Nin could qualify, but Not Naruto," said Kazuki.

"Why not force the issue? We have the laws to do it," asked Mebuki.

"Ha! If it was that easy, I would have done so already and tried to mix the Haruno and Uzumaki clans together. No We have to get the Shinobi, Clan, and Civilian Council to force the Hokage to order it," said Kazuki.

"Why is that?" asked Mebuki.

"A common misconception my dear is that the Hokage has absolute power. That is true if the Hokage issues a state of emergency or war is declared on a smaller country or even another village, but during peace times the Hokage only has one third their usual power base," said Kazuki as he grabbed his cup of water and sipped on it.

Alcohol had lost it taste after he became a council member. The stresses of civil service made the bottle unappetizing. Now he referred water and tea.

"Maybe we need to invite Naruto-kun to dinner and speak with him about it. After all the Trial of Uchiha Sasuke is coming at the end of the month. After the trial the Council will vote on the CRP for both the Uzumaki and Uchiha with Act 4 of the CRP being likely for Uchiha Sasuke. I'll have to pull some strings for my voting block, but we should get enough votes to force the issue," said Kazuki.

Mebuki smiled. "Leave the Banking and Merchant clans to me. I have some sway with the wives of those clans," said Mebuki kissing her husband, before leaving the room.

Seeing the stress her husband was under Mebuki decided that she would implement her own plans. After all she always wanted to have a child by the Yellow Flash. Touching her stomach she licked her lips.

Location: Konoha

Place: Business District

Time: 1200

Naruto walked out of the bank grumbling at how annoying bankers were. Aside from his large stacks of cash from his time completing missions with Jiriaya, his savings account, and his parent's money that had accumulated revenue several times over the last 17 years, he found out that he the owning share of Ydrasill. The most prominent restaurant in the Leaf Village. As well as one where the metradi had beat him up when he was ten for snooping in the garbage looking for something to eat.

The head banker was kissing his ass, showing him pictures of his three daughters- one of whom was married and the other was STILL IN HER 1ST YEAR IN THE ACADEMY- and talked about how it would help him to be on the good side of the banking clans.

Of course, being as strong as he was; Naruto made sure the Lord of the Banking clans knew that should not play with the money of a shinobi who was known for pulling pranks on the Hyuga Clan. A Clan who had all-seeing eyes. The Banking Lord paled remembering the Pinkening that took place in Naruto's third year.

He wasn't going to play games with his money and status and not so sultrily hinted at various illegal projects all seven members of the Banking Clans were involved in. Needless to say, the man got the message and told Naruto that his accounts would be handed out without issue.

Naruto wondered what he should do next. Team Neji would be back in a day or two. He considered going to see Sasuke, but that was still a no-go. He could go to a training ground and play with the Uzumaki sealing boos and maybe learn more about seals in general.

"BOSS!" yelled someone catching Naruto's attention. It wasn't had to know who the voice belonged to it was just a surprise to hear how deep it had gotten.

Naruto looked at the kids that used to hang out with him and couldn't help but think that they had grown up since he had last seen them.

Konohamaru wasn't as tall as Naruto, but he was only 13, he would grow into his own soon, but he was already well-muscled and apparently the Sarutobi clan was known for their raw strength. Udon too looked much better. No longer did he had snot hanging from his nose. In fact. Naruto could honestly say that In a few years Udon might be a heartthrob. Moegi like her teammates was in the middle of puberty. With confidence, Naruto could say that she could rival Ino in her beauty in the coming years.

"Konohamaru! Udon! Moegi-chan, it's good to see you three again," said Naruto smiling at the trio.

"Boss it's good to see you again," said Udon.

"Umm... Naruto-nii you look really cool," said Moegi blushing as she smiled at her honorary brother.

"And you three look good. All of you are Genin now," said Naruto.

"Now that we're genin will you spar with us bro!" asked Konohamaru.

"Depends on your Sensei," said Naruto.

Eibsu AKA the closet pervert looked at Naruto. "Hmmm. I see no harm in it Lord Uzumaki," said Eibsu.

Naruto sweat dropped. "Once as ass kisser always an ass kisser," thought Naruto.

"Hey Ebisu-sensei since Konohamaru and his friends have been Genin how many times have they tried Chunin exams?" asked Naruto.

Eibsu moved his glasses. "None lord Naruto. They are not even blooded Genin yet," said Eibsu.

Naruto rubbed his chin. "No kills huh? I know that Konohamaru specializes in Bojutsu and Ninjutsu like his grandfather, but what about Udon and Moegi?" asked Naruto.

"Moegi-chan is quite skilled at defensive Earth techniques and Offensive water techniques. Udon-kun while he may not look it is our all-rounder. He is quite capable of all three arts. They work well as a unit, but that's more because they are childhood friends," said Eibsu.

That gave Naruto a fair estimate of their skills and abilities. Nothing he couldn't handle.

Naruto smiled. "Great let's head to the Training grounds," said Naruto.

The group of Shinobi took to the roof tops and made it to Training Ground 7 in record time. Once they arrived Naruto removed his button up shirt, before reaching into his pouch and pulling out a roll of white tape and wrapped it around his left hand before tightening it.

"I'm afraid that I only have 10 minutes to play with you kids. Just so you know if you don't come at me with the intention to kill... you won't get far," said Naruto slamming his right hand into his left.

A habit left over from his Undercover days.

Konohamaru frowned. "Who are you calling a Kid boss? We've been holding down Konoha as it's strongest Genin Team! We'll beat you in one minute!"

"He's right Aniki! We're not those same kids who use to play ninja!" yelled Moegi

Udon nodded. "Uzumaki-aniki... we're not going to lose!"

Naruto smiled. "Come at me with the intent to kill or you won't make it out of here alive," said Naruto.

"Begin," said Eibsu.

Naruto vanished. "Lesson one. Taijutsu," said Naruto as he appeared before Konohamaru with his left fist cocked backward before he punched Konohamaru in the jaw stunning the boy before he followed up with two punches to the gut, and a spinning uppercut and a high kick to the jaw that sent Konohamaru flying backward.

"No way!" yelled Moegi

"So fast!" thought Udon

Moegi ran through hand signs. "Water Release: 100 water bullets!" yelled Moegi as several marble-sized orbs appeared and shot at Naruto.

Naruto looked at the orbs before he took in a breath. " So that's how you want to play. Fine Moegi-chan. Lesson two Ninjutsu. Wind Release: Vortex Bullet!" yelled Naruto as he spat out a ball on wind.

The Vortex Bullet was an advanced Drilling air bullet. While the Drilling air bullet could stop on coming attack, the vortex bullet absorbed them and made itself stronger. Moegi didn't have time to move as the attack hit her cutting into her skin as her own bullets slammed into her body leaving several bruises.

Udon charged at Naruto throwing a kunai at the red-haired man. Naruto caught the kunai and slashed at Udon who was quick enough to pull another kunai and engage Naruto in a battle of quick and powerful stikes. Naruto disengaged from the battle, but Udon wasn't about to allow Naruto to get out so easily.

Udon managed to get close to Naruto and bring his fist in front of Naruto's chest. "Iron fist style: Six-inch Punch!" yelled Udon.

Naruto's eyes widened as he managed to spin out of the way as Udon's fist hit the ground and kicked up dust and rocks creating a hold in the ground. Naruto kicked Udon in the side and sent him backward. Udon skidded backward several feet and gripped his ribs in pain. Udon jumped into the air as Konohamaru appeared behind him and thrust a staff at Naruto. Naruto caught the staff in his hand, before twisting with the staff and throwing Konohamaru away.

"Earth Release: Graval net!" yelled Moegi

a wall of gravel appeared above Naruto in the shape of a net with heavy weights on each end. Naruto pulled his arms backwards and thrust them forward destroying the net but leaving himself open for a few moments.

"Udon! I need Oil," yelled Konohmaru.

Udon nodded as he ran through hand signs. "Water release: Oil rain!" yelled Udon

Udon blew a black cloud above Naruto as it burst drenching Naruto in Oil as Konohamaru ran though hand signs.

"Fire Release: Phionex Flower!" yelled Konohamaru as he fired off three quick balls of fire that hit the oil and exploded.

Udon and Moegi regrouped with Konohmaru only for Naruto to appear between them and send them flying with punches and kicks. As the trio righted themselves.

"I haven't even gotten to lesson three Genjutsu. Not that I have any Genjutsu to speak of. Oh by the way it's been 6 minutes," said Naruto

"Damnit!" yelled Konohamaru as he spat out blood

"At this rate we have a 98 percent chance of losing!" yelled Udon, wiping his face.

"So what are you thinking?" asked Moegi.

"Formation Delta three," said Udon.

"That's a long shot Udon," said Konohamaru

"But it's our only out," said Udon.

Konohamaru cursed under his breath. "Do you have any seeds left Moegi-chan?" asked Konohamaru looking at Moegi.

"I always keep one hidden on my body. Good thing too since I used all my other ones up in training," said Moegi.

"Right then. You know the drill,"

Ebisu put a hand on his chin. "You three must be desperate to that formation. Especially since I forbid you all from revealing this information unless you were sure you couldn't win and needed an out,"

Naruto looked at the three and smirked. Now it was going to be fun.

Moegi began to run through hand signs. Naruto saw her and decided that she must be the linchpin in this plan. He charged at her with the intent to put her down. However, Konohamaru and Udon were able to intercept him

"Eight Gates: Gate of Opening!" yelled Udon

"Sarutobi style: Mad Monkey King

Udon and Konohamaru's chakra spiked. Udon's muscles bulked, while Konohamaru's hair turned a reddish color. Both charged at Naruto and threw a double uppercut that nearly caught Naruto in the jaw, but he managed to jump backward before he did a double jump kick and put both feet in the two younger boys' chests and sent them backward. Moegi threw a punch that Naruto caught before he twisted her around and kneed her in the kidney making her yell in pain.

In the Seal

Yasaka was enjoying the fight and rooting for Naruto. Honestly, he was quite a lot better than he used to be in battle. His natural speed, flexibility, and reflex had nearly doubled. His bones were stronger, and he was processing information almost twice as fast. Honestly, if he had a proper teacher when he was younger, he could have easily rivaled the likes of the geniuses of the Warring Clans Eras.

Yasaka licked her lips as she watched her host dominate the fight. Her hands rubbed her body from her breasts to her thighs. The chaos of it all, the damage he was inflicting on these two little brats, she spread her legs as Naruto landed a powerful uppercut to the boy who had opened the gates. She licked her fingers. She was sure that he had just broken the brat with the staff's nose. Her hand moved to her lower lips to revel in the pleasure. She was so close to touching herself.

Then an explosion of Chakra reached her. All the pleasure vanished her mind focused, and she knew what this chakra was!

"That's impossible! Only one person could use that Chakra and he's dead! How is that little bitch using Hashirama's Ability!" Roared Yasaka.

Back in the real world

Back in the fight Udon and Konohamaru were on the ground having used up their trump cards against Naruto, but it didn't matter. Moegi was ready. Pushing what remained of her chakra into her legs she rushed forward while holding a seed in her hand.

"Wood Release: Spear of the World Tree!" Yelled Moegi

Naruto's eyes widened as three white tree branches twisted around her right creating a spear.

Naruto was so shocked that he was almost impaled in his gut. Naruto automatically used wind chakra and cut the majority of the spear off, right where her fist began. Moegi's eyes widened as she looked up at Naruto before he grabbed her by the front of her shirt and slammed her on her back.

"What the hell was that!" asked Naruto. Not in anger, but in curiosity.

"I can answer that Uzumaki-san. Moegi discovered it by accident one day. It was always theorized that people with the perfect combination of Water and Earth Chakra could use Wood release, However, no one has ever been able to figure out the correct ratio of Earth to Water or Water to Earth. Moegi-chan can do it, however she currently needs a medium to activate the Wood release and only has two techniques to her name with that," said Eibsu.

Naruto frowned. "Does Tsunade or the Council know about this?" asked Naruto and depending on Ebisu's answer he might have to kill him.

"Why of course Hokage-sama knows about this. It's technically considered an SS-ranked secret only held by those of this team, Hokage-sama, and Moegi's secondary teacher Senju Yamato-san,"

Naruto looked at Ebisu with wide eyes. "I thought that Tsunade was the last Senju?"

"While it is not my place to say Yamato-san's circumstances are... different," said Eibsu.

Naruto opened his mouth to speak again but was stopped as Neko appeared in the clearing.

"Neko-san?" asked Naruto.

"Chunin Uzumaki, Hokage-sama requests your immediate appearance at her Office.

Naruto frowned hearing this from Neko. He hasn't spoken to Tsunade in nearly a week. What could his dear old 'mother' want?

Location: Konoha

place: Hokage's Tower; Tsuande's office

Time: 1245

Naruto walked to the Hokage tower with a frown on his face. Why had he been summoned by Tsunade? After all, they hadn't spoken in almost a week.

Naruto knocked on the door. "Enter," came Tsunade's Voice.

"I'm here Hokage-sama what do you... need," started Naruto as he looked at the people in the room with her.

Hey there Naruto. Long time no see," said Yuki

Naruto saw Yukie, but his attention was brought to the little boy in the other woman's hands. But he didn't register the boy or Yukie. It was this woman. But... the person who he looked at was 5 years dead. He knew. He had buried her at a grave in Wave Country and marked her grave with her mask. The first woman he could say that he ever truly loved, even beyond Sakura... the person he admired more than anyone else. The person who gave Naruto his nindo. The person who inspired him to never give up.

Haku-chan," said Naruto.
