Chapter 7-Homewood stretch
Turning to the voice, the lone Kiri Jonin saw his employer, with a lot of heavily armed thugs and mercenaries, and while the jonin looked onwards, the fat midget of a man looked over his shoulder, as he then said, "Kill them all, but leave the women alive for my harem," in a command form. The order had not even left the midgets lips before the whole area began to blanket itself in a layer of ice and Killer Intent, that was animating from: Naruto, Minato, Kushina, Zabusa, Asuma and Kurenai, along with Haku, 2 member of team 8 and all members of team 10, while the lone member known as Inuzuka Kiba, could help but feel that Gato's plan would work and promptly pissed himself.
The resulting aftermath (2 seconds later) of the –well carnage is not the word I'd describe the battlefield that was laid on the landscape and the surrounding area, which were covered in so much blood that it took a later used: Yoton: Yokai no Jutsu and combining that with the use of: Hyoton: Hyokai no Jutsu (for cleanup). With Gato's force now gone, Gato himself was now on the receiving end of every weapon used by the Konoha shinobi. After the brief exchange of Gato begging for his life, mostly threw the offer of women and power, Zabusa simply slid his sword threw Gatos head and stop the offers from being given.
Hours later and I do mean hours, as it was now 3 days later and Naruto was now waking to the sound of his father berating his teammates and sensei, on how they could just ignore the client's safety and their general laziness in doing their job they were being paid for. Once Naruto had changed from his bedware to his shinobi gear, he headed down stairs where he found the rest of his friends and family had just finished watching the play by play of the argument of: Minato, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke.
After the argument was finished, Minato then went and sat by his family and was served his breakfast of sausages, bacon and a cheese omelet, which he then washed down with a glass of apple juice. Once everyone but the idiots of team 7 had eaten, Minato, Kushina and a forced Kakashi, left with Tazuna so he can put the finishing touches on the new obsidian (or rather super cooled volcanic rock) built bridge, while the remaining members of the part then headed into town and help the villagers prepare for the celebrations, which was to happen after the completion of the bridge and with the release of the Gato's captives, 1 and a ½ days ago, the process had run smoothly as long as you were ignoring the Banshee Queen and Emo King, who thought that they should not have to help.
On the 1/9's completed bridge, Minato and Kushina were using their Kage Bushin's to help the workers finish off the bridge and it was all going smoothly, well up until Kakashi complained, "Minato-Sensei, Kushina-sama, you should not have to stoop so as to degrade yourselves like this, now come on and let them finish themselves," before the comment got him hit in the groin by a stone offcut fragment. While Kakashi was cradling his nuts, Minato and Kushina then returned to their assigned duties, as Naruto, Ino, Haku and Hinata were now looking over the central square of the country of Nami, with various states of appraisal, at a job well done. But it was short lived as a voice screeched, "this place looks disgusting," from behind them and then as the voice was going to continue it was then silenced by one of Haku's senbon.
With the screech quelled, Naruto, Ino, Hinata and Haku moved on to returning to Tazuna's home to prepare for the festivities. Hours later, and the whole village was now enjoying the 'Gato is dead and never returning party,' along with most of the Konoha teams, which mostly involves: Zabusa, Asuma, 3 clones of Naruto and Minato, dancing with: Tsunami, Kurenai, Hinata (as she blushed purple), Ino, Haku and Kushina, while Choji manned the BBQ's and other cooking places, Shikamaru had found himself in a five way Shogi match and Shino had struck up a conversation with oddly an Entomologist (a female), who of which was interested in how the Kikaichu beetles had evolved, but with most festive outings there were always dead fish and these dead fish were spending their time trying to add people to their pity party.
After the party got into full swing, the dancers had now moved their movements down the slow dancing of that akin to a ballroom dance, while the five way Shogi finished 3 hours ago and turned into a 10 way match, after the 5th hour, as Choji stayed his hand at being the chief of the night (A.N. Hey the Akamichi clan eat tons of food daily [for their jutsu], so they know what tasted good and what did not) and Shino join the dancers with his new Entomologist friend, where he demonstrated Aburame clan party trick , which was showing that even the most stoic of people can get down and while that was going on, the Dead Fishes had left and headed for bed believing it was a dream.
(A.N. If you haven't guessed, the dead fishes are: Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba and Kakashi.)
After the party had ended with an official opening of the bridge which had its name given as: [Dai konran no hōyō] and a Champaign bottle smashed into the leg supports, the crowd then headed to their homes and enjoyed a quiet nights sleep, with the possible exception of those with snoring family members. The next morning was when it was time for the shinobi of Konoha and former Kiri residences to head back to Konohagakure, which for most it was a teary goodbye and but others just spun around, before jetting off silently.
Following after the dead fishes, the teams of shinobi and kunochi sped threw the under growth of the forest canopy, with the occasional parkour maneuver over various fallen logs and boulders alike, well Zabusa, Haku, Naruto, Kushina, Minato and teams 8 and 10 did, while the 3 members of the dead fish brigade simply ran threw the main traveling path and made themselves a target, mostly in the hopes that Naruto would be an idiot and kill himself trying to save them.
But it was not to be, as they all made it to the large gates of the Konoha's western entrance with a problem, where the eternal chunin (you know who they are, everyone describes them as such) then signed them threw and then had a Heart attack at seeing an alive Kushina and Minato, along with the mist demon, right in front of them. After a peaceful stride threw the empty streets of Konoha, (as it was so early that morning that only the bare minimum amount of people were up and they weren't the civilian members of the of the village,) the teams had made it to Hokage Tower.
After entering the tower, they all bypassed the empty receptionist desk and made their way to the Hokages office, where which when they opened the door found Hiruzen behind a almighty sized stack of paper and the sight alone made Minato sigh dramatically before asking, "Hey Monkey man, why aren't you using Kage Bushin's?"
