Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the rest of the retrieval team returning to the village and getting settled back in, only for things to not go as perfectly as they want. Also there's another lemon, marked as always. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Finally! Kami, it's good to be back!" Anko said in relief as she, Yūgao and Team Seven walked through the gates into Konoha, all of them being relieved to be back.
"Don't celebrate just yet, Anko. We still need to report to Hokage-sama." Said Yūgao, also glad to be back home but knew they still needed to inform the Sandaime of their return and give their report.
"She's right. So let's head to the Tower and report in, then feel free to celebrate." Kakashi added, making the Tokubetsu Jōnin groan lightly that they weren't done.
"Alright, let's go and get this over with." Muttered Anko as they began heading towards the Hokage Tower.
It didn't take long for them to reach the Tower, before heading up and into the Hokage's office once he called out to let them enter.
"Ah, Team Seven, Anko, Yūgao. It's good to see you all return, the rest of the retrieval team informed me of your delay in returning to the village." Sarutobi said, having been informed of their desire to rest after their mission.
"Now then, Asuma, Gai and Kurenai have all given their reports of what happened. I'd like to hear from the rest of you as well, especially both of you, Naruto, Yūgao." Said Hiruzen while looking at the Genin and Anbu.
"Of course, Hokage-sama." Kakashi said as he, Yamato and Anko stepped forward first.
Each of them giving a report of what happened, first their encounter with Ryūgan and his allies, along with how Hinata and Satsuki followed after them. While Kurenai, Anko, Satsuki and Hinata stayed behind to fight the Takumi Ninja while the rest of the team went ahead. With Asuma then staying behind to fight Kujaku, then Gai staying to fight Suiko.
Leading to Kakashi and Yamato going on ahead, fighting Hōki and his remaining allies along with Ryūgan and Kujaku after they escaped their fights. Soon being joined by the rest of the retrieval team, only for them to be too late when Hōki sacrificed himself to finish Seimei's revival.
"Yes, the others told me the same. Along with how you were the one to defeat Seimei, Naruto. How exactly did you manage to do that?" Sarutobi asked as he looked at the whiskered ravenette with intrigued frown, while Naruto stepped forward next.
"After the Takumi Ninja grabbed me, they put me in some metal dome and began draining my Chakra to revive Seimei. I kept trying to break free but nothing I did worked, and I couldn't using any Jutsu in case that'd end up draining my Chakra faster. But I was able to break free after awakening Zangetsu's power." Explained Naruto while grabbing his sword and showing it off, intriguing the Hokage further.
"You…awakened your sword's power?" Questioned Sarutobi, wondering just what kind of sword Naruto had made.
"Yeah. I made it with the help of a blacksmith from Takumi, one that didn't hate Ninja, with them teaching me about forging weapons so I could make Zangetsu myself. But I needed to awaken Zangetsu's power before I could really use it, and I was able to awaken it in response to my desire to break free and get payback at the bastards for trying to use me as a battery. The first thing I did was use Shadow Clones to get a better understanding for his abilities, along with insulting Seimei and Takumi Village to throw him off, while the clones also helped tire him out enough so that I could move in and finish him. I was able to destroy Seimei's weapons, along with taking back my power he stole before killing him and the rest of the Takumi Ninja." Naruto replied, not giving the full truth of how he fought and killed Seimei, but giving some half-truths.
Leaving out how Zangetsu is a sentient sword and what exactly he needed to do to awaken its power, but giving the truth that it did come from his desire to escape and get some payback. Along with how he transformed into Zen-Aku, but giving the truth of the clones and taunting Seimei. Not revealing everything that happened, but enough that no one would suspect anything else happened.
Though the Sandaime nodded at the explanation, he frowned mentally, being able to clearly see that Naruto wasn't telling the full truth of what happened. Seeing that everything he said was the truth, just not the full truth.
'The power I can feel coming from that blade, it's certainly easy to believe it allowed Naruto to get the edge over Seimei and defeat him. But with how powerful the others described him; it doesn't seem like his sword is all Naruto used. If I'm right, then it's the power he gained from that mask.' Hiruzen thought, intending to finally confront Naruto about it and just ask what that mask did to him.
"I see. Yūgao." Hiruzen said while turning to the purplette Anbu, wanting to hear what happened before and after they were initially attacked.
Stepping forward, Yūgao told the Hokage everything that happened from when she and Naruto first arrived in Takumi Village, the reception they got from the majority of the villagers and blacksmiths. Until they met Tōtōsai and how he agreed to teach Naruto blacksmithing to make Zangetsu himself. Though did omit him being from the Uzumaki Clan, figuring that would be Naruto's choice to reveal it.
The time they were at Tōtōsai's hut as he taught Naruto before he began the process of creating Zangetsu. Only to be ambushed by the Celestial Symbols Men when they left, being taken by surprise at the attack and the abilities of their weapons with Naruto being taken hostage and her being saved by Tōtōsai.
Hiruzen listened along, while frowning at how the Takumi Ninja ambushed Naruto and Yūgao, guessing they had likely been spied on by them the moment they entered the village. Doubting they picked Naruto to use him to revive Seimei, purely by chance. Which was only confirmed with the previous reports that they knew Naruto was an Uzumaki and a Jinchūriki.
Something that concerned the Sandaime of how they were able to learn that information while making a mental note to be more careful about where he sends Ninja. Especially to places that either have a grudge against Konoha and/or Ninja as a whole.
"Well, it's a relief that the threat Seimei and the rest of Takumi Village posed have been dealt with. All of you performed splendidly in completing your mission and will receive payment for fulfilling an A-Rank Mission." Hiruzen said before handing each of them a scroll containing their payment, with the team nodding in thanks as they took the scrolls.
"All of you are dismissed except for you, Naruto. There's an important matter I wish to discuss with you." Said Sarutobi, making the Uzumaki frown slightly at what he'd want to discuss with him, specifically.
With Satsuki and Hinata also wondering what the Hokage wanted to talk to Naruto about, before they were ushered out of the office until only Naruto and the Hokage were left.
"What did you want to talk about?" Naruto asked, tensing slightly when Hiruzen made a handsign causing seals to glow along the walls, floor and ceiling.
"It's merely a Privacy Seal to ensure we aren't interrupted or have any unwanted listeners." Hiruzen said, preferring to not take any chances of someone overhearing what'll be said.
"And what's so important, you don't want anyone eavesdropping?" Questioned Naruto, part of him hoping that the Sandaime would finally give him some answers after nearly dying.
"I know about the Wolf Mask, Naruto, and that it's responsible for your recent transformation." Stated Sarutobi, causing Naruto's eyes to widen in shock before they narrowed suspiciously.
"How do you know about that?! Have you been spying on me or did you have a Yamanaka find out?!" Naruto demanded, angry at the idea he's now being spied on.
Wondering if the Hokage has Kakashi, Yamato and/or Yūgao spying on him, or if he even had a Yamanaka try going in his head or anyone else who knew about the mask.
"No, I have done neither of those things Naruto, I swear it. I only learned about the mask from my Telescope Jutsu when I checked on your first meeting with Konoka. I merely wished to make sure both of you were fine, and I was surprised when you told her, Satsuki and Hinata about the mask." Assured Hiruzen, frowning slightly when the whiskered ravenette still looked at him in suspicion.
With Naruto feeling relieved that he didn't know everything about the mask or about Zen-Aku, but if he could watch him like that, then who knows who else could do the same without his knowledge.
"Naruto, despite what you may think of me, I do care about you and only want to make sure you're safe. And whatever that mask did it-" Hiruzen said, only to be cutoff when Naruto began laughingly mockingly, unable to hold himself back any more.
"It what? It changed me. Made me a different person. Is that what you believe?! That putting that mask on turned me rabid?! Or maybe this is just the real me!" Retorted Naruto, surprising Sarutobi at his outburst.
"You say you care about me, but you sure as hell never trusted me! How many times did I ask you why everyone hated me, how many times did I ask you who my parents were?! You knew about the Kyūbi but you never told me, I had to learn it from a traitor that tried to frame and kill me! You never even told me that I'm part of a clan, a clan whose symbol that nearly every Chūnin and Jōnin in this village is wearing on their back! And my parents…I still don't know who they are, but after everything I have a pretty damn good idea!" Naruto said before not so subtly glancing at the Hokage Monument, making the Sandaime gulp worriedly.
After merging with his inner darkness and Zen-Aku, it helped Naruto think more clearly and rationally on things, along with his newfound knowledge on the Uzumaki Clan from everything Tōtōsai told him. Including Mito Uzumaki, the Shodai's wife, who was the first Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi. With only an Uzumaki being able to become the Kyūbi's Jinchūriki due to its power being too great for anyone else, aside from an Uzumaki with their powerful Chakra and lifeforce. With Tōtōsai having also revealed there had been a second Uzumaki that contained the Kyūbi after Mito passed away. Unfortunately he never learned their name, only that they possessed a special Chakra even among their clan, making them perfect to contain the Kyūbi. And whoever that Uzumaki was, Naruto knew that was his mother.
Leaving just the identity of his father and while he wasn't completely sure, Naruto now had a good idea of who it was and just why the Yondaime chose him to seal the Kyūbi into.
"Should I even expect you to tell me what we both know or are you going to try and keep lying? Maybe make a promise you have no intentions of keeping; it wouldn't be the first time. You wouldn't even tell me the one thing I wanted to know about my parents, more than even knowing who they were. You refused to just tell me what they were like! If they cared about me, if they loved me! I didn't even ask to know who they were; I would've been happy to just know they wanted me! But you wouldn't even give me that!" Naruto said as his eyes flashed red, while Hiruzen wasn't sure what he could say.
Closing his eyes, Naruto took a couple breaths to calm his nerves, not wanting to risk getting too worked up and lose control. Before he opened his eyes and looked the Sandaime, momentarily letting his walls down and let his old self out again.
"I would give anything to have things go back to the way they were, old man. To go back to still seeing you as a grandfather when I was still a naïve and bright-eyed kid, that I could go back to believing everything was alright. But after everything that's happened…it'll take a lot of time for me even consider trusting you like I did, if I even could trust you ever again." Said Naruto, now feeling tired at letting it all out.
"I never asked for much, all I ever wanted were answers to understand who I was. Why everyone hated me, why they were afraid of me, a random orphan that never did anything to them. But no matter how many times I asked, you never trusted me to give me those answers. Answers that I should've known and deserved to know, and as a result you've burnt a lot of bridges with me. Instead you believed I would stay the same naïve, optimistic kid or at least stay the same enough that I'd keep accepting it all with a smile." Naruto said before his expression hardened as his walls came back up.
"But that kid is gone, he grew up and is not coming back. That mask only changed me on the outside, on the inside I'm simply no longer hiding who I am or what I feel anymore. If you or anyone else in this village have a problem with the real me, just know that I am what you all made me." Said Naruto, closing his eyes and letting out a breath before opening his eyes again as he looked the Sandaime neutrally.
"Am I dismissed now, Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked, simply wanting to leave and rest after letting out all that.
"Yes…yes, you're dismissed." Said Sarutobi as the Uzumaki simply nodded before exiting the office.
Leaving a solemn air within, as the Sandaime simply sighed as he sat back in his chair after deactivating the Privacy Seals. Unable to think of how exactly he could fix things, if there's even anything I could do to fix things.
*With Naruto*
After leaving the Hokage's Office, Naruto headed straight for his apartment, simply wanting to lie down and rest after getting all of that off his chest.
Though once he reached his apartment and tried unlocking it, the whiskered ravenette frowned when his key wouldn't work.
'Because of course the damn thing wouldn't work, why not!' Naruto thought, feeling his mood getting even worse as he tried pushing the door, figuring it was jammed.
Only to back away when the door opened revealing a villager with an annoyed expression, before they smirked smugly at the Uzumaki.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my apartment?" Naruto demanded, swearing if they broke into his apartment, then he's going to break them.
"It's not your apartment anymore de-brat. It's mine, after you were booted out for not paying your rent. And don't worry about anything that was left here, it was all thrown into the trash!" Said the new tenant before laughing mockingly as they slammed the door in Naruto's face.
While Naruto scowled in anger that the asshole landlord actually evicted him for not paying his rent. Something he even did in advance before leaving with Yūgao, just in case the trip to Takumi took longer than expected. Though he wasn't surprised, knowing the bastard was always looking for an excuse to kick him out.
"Jokes on you, dumbass! Like I'd leave anything of value in this shitty apartment in the first place! And if you want it so badly, take it, I'm sure the rats will enjoy having a piece of garbage like you staying with them! I'm sure you also learned the hot water doesn't work with how you smelled worse than actual garbage!" Naruto said tauntingly, smirking as the door opened up showing the enraged tenant.
"You little fu-" Said the villager, throwing a punch at Naruto, only for the Genin to grab their wrist when they tried.
Flipping the villager over his shoulder, slamming their chin into the railing before collapsing to the floor as Naruto stomped on their back and twisted their arm behind them, making the tenant cry out.
"You worthless demon! I'm gonna-" The villager said, only to scream in agony when Naruto slammed his foot into their elbow, snapping their arm in half.
"Consider that a housewarming gift for being stupid enough to piss me off, when I'm already in a bad mood." Naruto said before stomping on the villagers head knocking them out.
Closing the door, Naruto ripped the handle off as he turned to leave while tossing it over his shoulder with it landing the unconscious tenant's head. But rather than leave the building, the whiskered ravenette headed downstairs to where the landlord lived, kicking in the door once he reached the apartment.
"Who the hell-" Shouted the landlord only to gag when Naruto shoved him against a wall, holding his arm against the bastard's throat.
"Shut. Up." Said Naruto before pulling out a kunai and spinning it around his finger, making the landlord pale in fear.
"Y-yo-yo-yo-you d-d-do-do-don't li-li-l-l-l-li-live he-here a-a-an-an-an-anymore! S-s-so-so ge-g-g-g-ge-get o-o-o-ou-out!" Stuttered the landlord, trying to act brave while failing to hide his fear.
"Oh I'll gladly leave, right after I get my money back." Naruto said, intending to get back the money he paid in advance, along with some compensation for being kicked out like this.
"I-I-I'm n-no-no-not-" The landlord retorted, only to whimper when Naruto stabbed the kunai into the wall inches from his head.
"Either you give me my money, or I'm using the next one to pop your fucking kneecaps off." Said Naruto as he took out another kunai, much to the landlord's horror.
"Okay! Okay, okay! I-i-it-i-i-it-it's i-i-i-i-in a-a-a-a-a s-sa-sa-sa-safe, in my office! Ju-just through that door!" Said the landlord while pointing to his office door, with Naruto glancing at it.
Creating a Shadow Clone, Naruto sent it to find the safe and check it, wanting to make sure the landlord was telling the truth. After a few moments, his clone came out holding a few stacks of ryō.
"It's all here boss, along with some extra." The clone said before handing the money to Naruto, with him putting it in his jacket.
"See, that wasn't so how hard, was it?" Naruto rhetorically asked with a mocking smile before immediately slamming his knee into the landlord's stomach, making the man double over gagging and coughing.
"B-bu-but…y-yo-yo-you s-sa-said…" The landlord groaned before crying out when Naruto slammed his head into the ground, feeling his nose shatter from the impact.
"I said you give me my money or I pop your kneecaps off; I didn't say anything about what I'd do after. So consider this a warning, if you ever try pissing me off again, if I ever so much as see you again, if you even think of doing anything against me or anyone I care about. I'll come back to break your arms and legs, then throw you into the forest for the animals. Tap the floor once if you understand, if not…" Naruto trailed off, smirking wickedly as the landlord quickly tapped the floor.
"Good, maybe you do have half a brain at the very least." Said Naruto before slamming his head into the ground again to knock him out.
Leaving the apartment building, Naruto headed for Ichiraku's, needing some ramen to help calm his nerves as he doubt that he'd be able to stop himself from attacking the next person that annoys him. While feeling himself already start to calm down when he saw the ramen stand and went inside, being greeted by Teuchi behind the counter with the ramen chef smiling at the sight of the Uzumaki.
"Ah, Naruto! Good to see you're finally back!" Teuchi said, happy to see his favorite customer has returned.
"Did you say Naruto's back, Tou-san?!" Said Ayame as she quickly came out from the back of the stand, smiling brightly when she saw Naruto.
"Hey Teuchi, Ayame-neechan, sorry it's been so long." Said Naruto while smiling at the father-daughter duo, before being surprised when Ayame came around and hugged him tightly.
"We're both really glad to have you back, Naruto! You were gone for over a month, we were getting worried!" Ayame said, happy and relieved he's back in the village.
While Naruto couldn't stop himself from blushing as Ayame hugged him while feeling her body pressed against him, especially her breasts against his chest. The threesome he had with Satsuki and Hinata now making him more aware of girls' figures. And he couldn't deny, that even if she's his surrogate sister, Ayame was incredibly attractive.
"I did tell you both I was going out of the village to get a new sword made." Naruto said as he returned the hug while trying to remain calm, having told them both he'd be gone for a while.
"Yeah, we just didn't think it'd take this long for you to get back. Did anything happen?" Teuchi asked, with Ayame pulling back and looked at him curiously as Naruto sat down.
"Just some trouble with the Takumi blacksmiths, none of them would make me sword but Yūgao-sensei and I eventually found someone willing to teach me how to make it myself. But we also had to deal with some blacksmiths that thought dressing up and using weapons made them Ninja…to keep it short, Takumi Village isn't a problem anymore." Said Naruto, making Teuchi frown deeply but nodded in understanding at what it meant.
"Well from the looks of you, at least things turned out alright." Said Ayame, glad that Naruto returned in one piece.
"Yeah, unfortunately now I have some new problems. But first could I get some miso ramen, as much as this'll pay for." Naruto said taking out two stacks of ryō he took from his former landlord, much to Teuchi's and Ayame's surprise.
"Y-yeah, that'll…get you plenty of ramen. Coming right up." Teuchi said as he and Ayame got to work on making Naruto as much ramen as he wants.
After making a couple bowls, Naruto eagerly dug in, already feeling his mood improving with each one he finished until he felt much calmer than he did before.
"So, what happened?" Ayame asked while looking at the Uzumaki once he finished his fifth bowl.
"My asshole landlord kicked me out under the excuse I didn't pay my rent, despite how I paid in advance before leaving to get my sword." Revealed Naruto, much to their shock and anger.
"He did what?!" Teuchi said, upset something like that happened.
"Yeah. But don't worry about it, I paid the bastard back and got my money back as well, and if he's smart then he won't try anything else." Naruto replied, making them nod, glad he got back at the bastard.
"That's good at least. Though I get the feeling that's not everything that happened." Said Ayame, doubting Naruto would be this upset over just the landlord problem.
"No…no it's not. When me and my team got back and gave our reports to the Hokage, I…got some things off my chest when the Hokage wanted to speak to me alone about my recent changes." Said Naruto as he began telling them what happened with his meeting with the Hokage.
Something that saddened Ayame and Teuchi, knowing how close he used to be to the Sandaime, remembering all the times they used to come here when Naruto was younger.
"I'm really sorry that happened, Naruto. It must've not been easy with how close the two of you were." Ayame said while hugging the whiskered ravenette again, which he returned.
"Yeah…we were, it's just too bad he didn't trust me as much as I trusted him." Naruto muttered, now just feeling numb as while he still felt anger and betrayal, it's more muted than it was initially.
"Naruto, let me give you some advice on this. While you did deserve to get answers from the Hokage about everything you've been through, I do believe he'd have his reasons. Now I'm not saying those are good reasons, but they're reasons all the same. Maybe he didn't want to risk anyone else finding out what he told you, maybe he wanted to wait until you were older, or maybe he didn't want you to deal with the burden that'd come with any answer he gives you. But honestly, regardless of why, it no longer matters, what's done is done, there's no changing what's already happened. What can be changed is what happens now, you can keep being angry and betrayed or you can start moving past it all, working to try and get back to how it used to be, or at the very least as close as you can get to that." Said Teuchi, making Naruto and Ayame look at him in surprise before the brunette turned to the whiskered ravenette.
"Tou-san is right, Naruto. You don't have to immediately forgive the Hokage, maybe you never really will, but it is up to you if you want to give him a chance to try and fix things. The choice it ultimately yours." Added Ayame, with Naruto nodding and thinking over their words.
"I'll think about it." Naruto said since he'd prefer not to wonder on if he should give the Sandaime a chance or not, at the moment.
"Of course. Now onto the other matter of you not having anywhere to stay anymore, if you want you're more than free to stay with us." Teuchi offered with a smile, surprising the Uzumaki.
"Yeah! You can stay with us as long as you like until you find another place to live!" Ayame said, smiling brightly at the chance of Naruto staying with them.
"I…uh…th-thank you for the offer really, but I wouldn't want to impose. Besides, I was planning to stay in the woods like when I was younger, until I find a new place." Naruto replied, thankful for the offer but had his own plans.
Not minding staying in the forest again since it's something he's already used to and familiar with, not to mention it can double as survival training. Part of him was even looking forward to getting out of the village and being surrounded by nature.
"If you're sure, but the offers open if you change your mind." Teuchi said, with Ayame nodding in agreement before the brunette smirked slyly and leaned in close to the Uzumaki's ear.
"And if you do, I hope you don't mind sharing a room with me, otouto-kun~." Said Ayame, making Naruto's eyes widen before he blushed when Ayame kissed him on the cheek.
"H-huh." Said Naruto, not sure if Ayame was kidding or not, only for her smirk to grow as she looked at him.
"Nee-chan just wants to help her handsome little brother anyway she can. Especially if he needs help relaxing~." Ayame said with a wink, making Naruto gulp before he quickly stood up.
"I-I-I-I s-sh-sh-sh-shou-should g-g-go-go! Th-thanks for the r-ra-ramen and the talk, keep the change!" Said Naruto before he quickly ran off, with Ayame giggling at the sight while Teuchi chuckled at his daughters teasing, unaware she had been completely serious.
*Later*
After leaving Ichiraku's, Naruto had soon met up with Satsuki and Hinata again, with them having gotten settled back into their apartment. Only for the girls to be angered when they heard how he'd been kicked out of his apartment and the bullshit reason why. With them only being calmed down after hearing how he got back at his landlord and the new tenant for what they did.
Before the trio began wandering around the village, though as they walked they couldn't help but notice the larger number of foreign visitors.
"Naruto-kun, Satsuki-chan, is it just me or does it seem like the village is even busier than usual? Along with there being a lot more people walking around." Hinata said while looking around, seeing several Ninja wearing headbands from different villages.
"I've noticed it too. Even when we first arrived I saw some foreign Ninja teams checking in with the guards." Said Satsuki, with Naruto nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, something big must be going on if there are this many visitors showing up." Naruto said, curious of what could be happening that'd warrant so many foreign visitors.
"Aniki!"
Hearing the sudden voice, the Genin turned to look where it came from only for Naruto to grunt when a brown blur ran into him, before looked down to see Konoka hugging him.
"You're finally back!" Konoka said while grinning up at the Uzumaki, happy to see he's returned.
"Yeah, it's good to see you too, Konoka." Said Naruto while patting Konoka on the head before looking to see Moegi, Udon and surprisingly Hanabi running up as well.
"Does that mean you've got your new sword, Nii-chan?!" Moegi asked in excitement at the chance to see Zangetsu.
"Why did it take so long?" Udon asked, curious of why it took so long to get his sword made.
"Yūgao-sensei and I ran into some…complications in Takumi Village. Luckily we were able to handle it with some help and got back safely." Replied Naruto while looking at the three, before turning to Hanabi while narrowing his eyes a little, given their last interaction with her.
"Hanabi, what are you doing here?" Hinata asked, not expecting to see her sister with the Konoka Squad.
"Just…spending time with them…since they offered." Hanabi said awkwardly, having trouble thinking of what else to say.
"You did?" Satsuki asked while looking at the trio with a raised brow, not expecting them to offer Hanabi the chance to spend time with them after what happened last time.
"Yeah! Me and Hanabi had another spar, and I was able to beat her this time! I even won using the Jutsu you taught me, Satsuki-neechan!" Said Konoka with her grin growing while wrapping an arm around Hanabi's shoulder, making the Hyūga look at her in annoyance.
"You only won by tricking me! I would've beaten you otherwise!" Hanabi retorted, surprising Hinata as she didn't hear any anger or resentment despite her words.
"But I still won~." Konoka said as her grin turned into a teasing smirk.
"Trying saying that after next time, deviant!" Said Hanabi, intending to defeat Konoka next time they had a match.
"We'll see who wins! Maybe I'll even model the new version of my Jutsu on you!" Said Konoka, causing Hanabi to blush in anger and embarrassment.
"I warned you not to ever…do that!" Hanabi said, swearing she'll make the Sarutobi pay if she actually made a Sexy Jutsu based on her.
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. You'll just have to wait and see." Konoka stated while grinning at the Hyūga.
All while Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata were surprised at how they were acting, how different it was compared to when they first met and fought. Before they looked at Moegi and Udon questioningly, wondering what happened while they were gone.
"Hanabi isn't as bad as we thought she was and can be nice. It just took Konoka beating her to get Hanabi to listen." Said Moegi upon seeing their looks, with Udon nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, she's been training and playing with us a lot. Though she and Konoka usually end up arguing a lot." Udon said since even with their new friendship, Konoka and Hanabi also developed a rivalry with each other.
"Ah. That's…good." Satsuki stated, glad that at least Hanabi was no longer insulting them,
"Yeah, it is." Said Hinata while smiling slightly, despite everything she was glad her sister was able to make some friends.
"Out of curiosity, what Jutsu was Konoka talking about?" Naruto asked, curious at hearing Konoka had a Jutsu of her own and apparently made a new version of it.
Getting an idea of what it was when Moegi and Udon both blushed at the memory of Konoka's Sexy Jutsu and Reverse Sexy Jutsu.
"Hey Aniki! Come on let's go, I wanna show you how much I've improved my training! And you gotta show us your new sword!" Said Konoka, grabbing Naruto's arm and dragging him to a training ground, with the others following after them in amusement.
*Later*
It didn't take the two groups long before they arrived at a training ground with the Konoka Squad looking at Naruto, eager to see Zangetsu. With even Hanabi looking intrigued, having heard about the sword he left to have made, though tried hiding her interest.
Seeing their looks, Naruto smirked slightly before unsealing Zangetsu, having stored it away in a Storage Seal on his wrist for when he isn't using it and stabbed it into the ground. Much to the children's amazement at seeing the sword, in person.
"Wow…that looks so cool, Aniki!" Konoka said with an awed expression at the sight of the sword.
"Yeah! It looks even cooler than just the drawing!" Moegi added in amazement upon seeing how big Zangetsu was, not doubting that it could cut through anything.
"It definitely looks really strong; can it do everything from your design?" Questioned Udon, curious and eager to see what Zangetsu can do.
"I haven't tested out if it can do everything, but so far what it can do is definitely useful. Watch this." Naruto said while picking Zangetsu up and channeling Chakra into it, shocking and amazing the children when the back of the sword turned blue while gaining what looked like dragon scales and segments along it.
Their shock only growing when Naruto swung Zangetsu and the sword extended out like a blade-whip, slicing right through a tree before retracting itself and returning to normal.
"That's awesome!" Cheered Konoka, seeing Zangetsu in action was much better than just seeing it.
"That's not even half of what Zangetsu can do, and the best part is that it can get even stronger." Naruto said with a smirk, much to the children's amazement that it could be even stronger.
"And you all can see it another time since we are still here to train." Said Satsuki, making the Konoka Squad groan in disappointment at not seeing more of Zangetsu, but nodded in understanding.
"What'll we be working on, Satsuki-neechan?" Moegi asked, wondering what they'll be training with next.
"First, how have you three progressed with Surface Walking?" Said Satsuki, wanting to know if they've improved their Surface Walking.
With the three students all nodding in response before running up to some trees, not stopping as they ran up them, impressing the Genin when they all managed to reach a branch.
"Very good you three, you really have improved a lot." Said Hinata as she smiled at the Academy Students before looking at Hanabi, only for the brunette to cross her arms.
"I could already do that." Hanabi stated before going over to a training post to do her own training, making Hinata frown slightly.
"Since you three seem to have gotten the hang of Surface Walking, even better that it looks like you can do it instinctually, how about we work on your Genjutsu skills next." Satsuki said, only for Konoka to groan.
"Genjutsu?! But that's boring, can't we learn some more Ninjutsu instead?!" Konoka asked, hoping to learn more Ninjutsu, only for the brunette to yelp when Naruto flicked her forehead.
"You shouldn't dismiss Genjutsu. Even if you don't use it, it's always important that you know how to spot Genjutsu and break out of them. Since you never know when you could find yourself trapped in an illusion that can leave you defenseless." Said Naruto, with Satsuki and Hinata nodding in agreement.
"Naruto-kun is right. While Genjutsu might not be as flashy or powerful as Ninjutsu, it's still just as dangerous, if not more so with how it can target your mind. Putting you under someone's control without even realizing it." Hinata added, making the students shiver at the idea of being controlled like that.
"Th-that does seem really useful to know. How do we spot Genjutsu and break free of them?" Udon asked as Konoka and Moegi focused intently, the brunette now willing to learn about Genjutsu if it means preventing herself from being controlled.
"There are several ways to break free from Genjutsu. The two most obvious ways are by disrupting the Chakra flow of a victim that's under the influence of a Genjutsu, which can be done by the victim themselves if they realize they're under the influence of a Genjutsu or by an ally channeling Chakra into them. And the other method is inflicting physical pain on yourself, even just biting your lip hard enough to draw blood can break a Genjutsu placed on you. Another way is by obstructing the casters vision, but that's usually for ocular Genjutsu, though it also helps to hide you." Satsuki explained, with the students nodding in understanding.
"Another way can be strong enough smells can counteract Genjutsu, something like smelling salts or chili peppers would be good." Said Hinata.
"As for spotting Genjutsu, that can be pretty difficult since you won't automatically know you're in a Genjutsu. The best way to do so is by focusing on your surroundings while taking in every detail you can, like if you run past something you recognize as having already past, it could mean you're in a Genjutsu." Said Naruto as the students nodded along to everything.
"So how will we train to spot and break free of Genjutsu?" Moegi asked, with Satsuki stepping forward and activating her Sharingan.
"I'm going to put you all under a Genjutsu, nothing really bad, but still difficult to spot and break free. You three will need to try and break out of it." Said Satsuki before locking eyes with the three, causing them to gain clouded looks in their eyes.
"What are they seeing right now?" Questioned Hinata, hoping it wasn't anything bad.
"Hazy Genjutsu, making everything blurry for them and make them feel like they're sinking in quicksand. Along with Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Jutsu, so if they break free from the first illusion, they'll need to realize they're still in one." Satsuki replied with Naruto and Hinata nodding, knowing it'll be a good test for them to spot more than one illusion.
Looking at the three kids to see if any of them were reacting to the Genjutsu, Hinata looked over at Hanabi a few times, seeing her doing her own training and striking the post. Part of her wanted to go over and try talking to her, but the bluenette wasn't sure if her sister would like her doing that. And Hinata didn't want to risk upsetting Hanabi when it seems like she's finally started opening up.
"You could try offering to help with her training." Naruto said, making the Hyūga look at him while Satsuki nodded in agreement with her boyfriend.
"I…I'm not sure if she'd want my help." Said Hinata, doubting Hanabi would accept any help for training.
"You never know unless you try. From the look of things she doesn't seem as hostile as she was before, maybe she'd even like the chance to train with you." Satsuki said with a shrug as Hinata looked back at Hanabi.
"Hinata-chan, we know you still care about Hanabi, even with everything she said. And with how she's choosing to stay here to train rather than go off on her own, it seems like maybe she's trying to be better. I'd say now is your chance to try and get closer to her, to show her you still care." Said Naruto, wanting Hinata to take a chance and restore her bond with her sister.
Looking between her sister and her teammates/lovers, Hinata nodded before going over to Hanabi, hoping that maybe they could fix things between them.
"You've gotten stronger." Hinata stated as she got closer and saw the power behind Hanabi's palm strikes, making the brunette pause for a moment and glance at her before going back to striking the post.
"…Thanks." Muttered Hanabi, not sure what else to say.
"Have you learned any new techniques? The Thirty-Two Palms or the Vacuum Palm." Said Hinata since those were some of the early techniques she'd been taught when she was still heiress.
"No. I only know the Sixteen Palms, Palm Bottom and Rotation." Hanabi said in annoyance, while Hinata smiled proudly at her sister.
"That's still impressive, especially learning the Rotation already." Hinata stated, knowing the Rotation wasn't an easy technique to learn.
"I haven't mastered it and can only use it for a short time. Any longer and I just spin out of control." Hanabi muttered, not liking to admit her Rotation isn't perfect.
"I know, it's not easy to use, especially with maintaining your spinning. But I'm sure you'll have it mastered soon enough." Said Hinata while giving an assuring smile to the brunette, before biting her lip in hesitance.
"Though if…if you want. I could teach you some of techniques I've been learning." Hinata offered, causing Hanabi to stop and look at her.
"Which ones?" Questioned Hanabi, making the bluenette smile upon seeing that she's willing to give her a chance.
"Like the Thirty-Two Palms and Vacuum Palm for starters. Along with the Grid Palm." Said Hinata, getting Hanabi's interest.
"You can use the Grid Palm?" Hanabi asked, not expecting Hinata to be able to use an advanced technique like that.
"Yes, Naruto-kun helped me learn it with his affinity for Fūinjutsu as well as by letting me use his clones to practice on. But I haven't been able to actually use it on a mission." Hinata said, given how the Eight Trigrams Grid Palm didn't differentiate between friend and foe, anyone that comes in contact with the grid it creates will be inflicted with pain.
Meaning if she wanted to effectively use it without hurting her allies, she'd need to give them to time to get out of her range or it's just her and a group of enemies. Though Hinata hoped she could develop it to only target certain people, allowing her to use it more freely.
"…How do you perform the Vacuum Palm?" Hanabi asked, making Hinata's smile grow.
"I'll show you." Said Hinata before stepping in front of another training post, while moving a back a few feet.
Activating her Byakugan, Hinata focused on a single spot on the post, pinpointing the exact spot she wanted to strike before giving a high-speed palm thrust at it.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Hinata said, releasing a vacuum shell of Chakra from her palm that rushed towards the post, striking the exact spot she wanted.
With Hanabi unable to stop herself from jumping slightly, looking in shock as the training post nearly burst open from the attack. Seeing how it looked it had been struck in single point with multiple cracks splintering out all over it.
"It's similar to the Rotation, but rather than releasing your Chakra in a general area, it focuses on a specific target. You use your Byakugan to pinpoint an enemies vital spot and target it directly, delivering a high-speed palm thrust while releasing a "vacuum shell" of Chakra. Letting you attack a target from a distance before they even notice they're hit; they'll be blown off their feet from the force of the blow." Explained Hinata, while Hanabi looked between the damaged post and her in shock and amazement.
"There's also a more powerful version called the Mountain Crusher, where you strike a target at a closer range, releasing a wave of Chakra which can cause even more damage. That one I'm still working on learning, but when I do I'm hoping to improve it along with my other techniques." Hinata said, making the brunette look at her with wide eyes.
"How could you improve them?" Hanabi asked, not thinking the Hyūga Techniques could be any better than they are.
"With my Elemental Affinities, changing my Chakra I inject into enemies into Lightning Chakra that can paralyze them or Fire Chakra to burn them from the inside out. I also want to improve them in my own way." Said Hinata, already having ideas for how to implement her affinities into her Jūken Techniques, as well as better ways it can be used defensively and offensively.
While the Hyūga Heiress looked at her sister with wide eyes, having never imagined her using their clans techniques in such a way. Feeling some of her old admiration for Hinata coming out before she quickly shook her head.
"Could…could you help teach me those techniques?" Hanabi asked, not wanting to miss a chance at learning more advanced techniques, maybe even learn her own Elemental Affinities as well.
"I'd be happy to, Hanabi." Hinata replied while smiling at her sister before she began instructing Hanabi.
*Later*
Team Seven continued training the Konoka Squad for a few hours with Konoka, Moegi and Udon having begun getting better at spotting Genjutsu and breaking out of them. Leaving to Satsuki placing them in more difficult Genjutsu once they started breaking out of them more quickly. Wanting them to get used to harder to spot Genjutsu. While Hinata was training Hanabi to perform the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm and Thirty-Two Palms, with some help from Naruto giving them some Shadow Clones to practice on. Pleasing the brunette at getting the chance to learn more advanced techniques, having been able to get a good grasp of them. Along with having the Grid Palm explained and seen how Hinata performed it.
"I'd say that's enough training for today." Naruto stated, seeing the Academy Students were starting to get tired from the repeated Genjutsu, with Satsuki having needed to release it after seeing they couldn't break it themselves.
"W-wait…just…just one more!" Said Konoka, wanting to try again with the last Genjutsu.
"I…I think I almost had…it." Udon said, having felt himself getting better at recognizing the Genjutsu and breaking them.
"C-come on! One…one more try!" Said Moegi, not wanting to give up yet.
"While admirable that you three want to continue, it's also important to understand your own limits. And right now, all three of you are too tired to continue, if we did then any further illusions could start taking a toll on your minds." Said Satsuki, not wanting them to be hurt.
"Agreed. Right now, you three have gotten good at being able to spot Genjutsu and breaking free of them. As long as you don't let yourselves be tricked, then you won't need to worry about Genjutsu in the future. It also doesn't hurt to have someone around that can free you from them, as well." Said Naruto, making the students sigh but nod in understanding, pleased with their progress.
Before they looked over at Hinata and Hanabi with the brunette holding her head up with a pleased expression at the progress she's made. Feeling like for once in a long while her training is actually making her stronger, rather than just refining what she could already do.
"How was your training with Hinata-neechan, Hanabi?" Konoka asked, having seen the sisters training whenever she broke out of the Genjutsu and before Satsuki put a new one on them.
"Good and productive. I have a good grasp of the Vacuum Palm and Thirty-Two Palms; they just need a little more work." Replied Hanabi before she turned to Hinata, who smiled proudly at her sister.
"You were amazing, Hanabi, soon enough you'll be learning even stronger techniques. Maybe we could test your Elemental Affinity next time to see which one, or ones, you have." Said Hinata, with Hanabi nodding.
"Perhaps. But right now, I want to see how my training has paid off by sparring against you." Hanabi said, shocking the others that she wanted to spar against Hinata.
"Are…are you sure Hanabi?" Moegi asked, worried at the idea of them sparring since it could cause Hanabi to revert back to her previous personality if Hinata refused to hurt her.
"Yes." Said Hanabi while not looking away from the bluenette, who looked at her in surprise before soon nodding in response.
Understanding just why Hanabi wanted to spar against her, a sentiment she shared.
"Okay, if you want to spar Hanabi, then we can." Hinata said as she and Hanabi moved to stand across from each other.
"Aniki? Satsuki-neechan? Is this really a good idea?" Questioned Konoka while looking at the Uzumaki and Uchiha, having expected them to say something.
"It's something they both need to do." Naruto said with Satsuki nodding in agreement, understanding that if they truly wanted to begin mending things then they needed to go back to where it all started.
Standing across from each other, Hinata and Hanabi both got into their stances, activating their Byakugan as they stared each other down.
"Don't hold anything back, this time." Hanabi said, refusing to have Hinata hold back just because she cares.
With this making Hinata actually pause, unsure at the idea of going all out against Hanabi.
"Are…are you sure Hanabi?" Questioned Hinata, wanting to make sure Hanabi wanted this, with the brunette nodding in response.
"I am." Said Hanabi before she immediately ran at the older Hyūga.
Thrusting her hand forward to deliver a palm strike to Hinata's abdomen, only for the bluenette to deflect the strike.
"If that's what you want. Palm Bottom!" Hinata said delivering a palm strike to Hanabi's chest, throwing her back through the air with a burst of Chakra.
Gasping in surprise at the hit, Hanabi quickly flipped through the air to land on her feet and lunged at Hinata only for her sister to already be rushing at her. With the younger Hyūga dropping down into a crouch, avoiding a palm strike to her shoulder before jumping back to strike Hinata in her chin, which the bluenette deflected.
Hinata then spun around the Hyūga Heiress, delivering spin kick to Hanabi's back knocking her away and rolling across the ground.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Said Hinata while thrusting her palm at Hanabi, releasing a vacuum shell of Chakra at her, making Hanabi's eyes widen.
Jumping out of the way of the Chakra shell, Hanabi immediately rolled to the side as Hinata rushed at her again, avoiding the Genin's next attack.
"Eight Trigrams Rotation!" Hanabi said as she began spinning around and releasing Chakra from Tenketsu to blow Hinata back.
Not expecting Hanabi to use the Rotation like that, Hinata was blown back by the force of the Chakra dome, skidding across the ground. While Hanabi quickly stopped spinning and ran at her sister with her hand held back.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Hanabi said before thrusting her palm forward and releasing a vacuum shell of Chakra at Hinata.
"Eight Trigrams Rotation!" Said Hinata as she began releasing Chakra and spinning as well, blowing away Hanabi's Vacuum Palm and surprising the younger Hyūga.
Only to cry out as this time she was knocked back by the force of Hinata's Chakra, sending the brunette flying through the air with Hinata ending the Jutsu and rushing at Hanabi. Thrusting her palm at her sister as she fell to the ground, with Hanabi managing to block the strike. Using her momentum to flip over Hinata and get behind her.
"You're within my range of division!" Hanabi said as she went to strike Hinata's Tenketsu only to be forced to jump back when Hinata spun around while kicking her leg out, with the brunette narrowly dodging the kick.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Said Hinata while thrusting her palm forward, releasing a vacuum shell of Chakra at Hanabi.
Moving to the side to avoid it, Hanabi grit her teeth when she felt the shell brush against her arm before her eyes widened when she felt her arm start going numb.
'Lightning Chakra!' Hanabi thought upon seeing Hinata had channeled Lightning Chakra into it this time.
"Palm Bottom!" Hinata said, taking the chance to close the distance between her Hanabi before delivering a palm thrust to her stomach, causing Hanabi to gag in pain as she was launched back.
Grunting as she hit the ground, Hanabi got back up while channeling Chakra through her arm to get rid of the numbness. Only to be forced to begin blocking and deflecting Hinata's strikes as the older Hyūga rushed her again.
"Rotation!" Hanabi said as she started spinning and expelling Chakra, hoping to throw Hinata back to get some distance only to be surprised at her next move.
"Rotation!" Said Hinata spinning around and expelling Chakra as well, causing both Rotations to begin clashing against each other.
Each of the techniques trying to repel each other, only for the force to be repelled back, which in turn made the Rotations even stronger in trying to repel the other. Gritting her teeth, Hanabi tried expelling more Chakra to try and knock Hinata back before her eyes widened when she started losing control of her Rotation.
'I need to get back!' Hanabi thought, waiting for the right moment before dropping her Rotation, causing her to be thrown back by Hinata's.
Only for the Hyūga Heiress to use this to her advantage by flipping through the air as she landed on her feet, glad to get some distance between them.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Said Hanabi, thrusting her palm at Hinata the moment she dropped her Rotation.
Smirking when she saw Hinata roll out of the way of her Vacuum Palm before rushing forward to seal away her Tenketsu, only to see Hinata slam her hand on the ground.
"Eight Trigrams Grid Palm!" Hinata said, causing a network of grids to spread out across the ground from her hand, making Hanabi's eyes widen at the sight and tried moving back to avoid them before crying out in pain when the grids reached her.
Paralyzing Hanabi on the spot as she felt pain course through her body, leaving the brunette unable to move.
"You're within my range of division." Hinata stated, closing the distance between them and began striking Hanabi's Tenketsu.
"Two Palms!"
"Four Palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" Said Hinata, delivering a final strike to Hanabi's abdomen, launching her back through the air and sending the younger Hyūga crashing down into her back.
With Hanabi gasping at the impact before she started coughing in pain from feeling her Tenketsu be sealed and the after-effects of the Grid Palm still racking her body. Making Hinata look at her in concern, rushing over while making handsigns as her hands were covered in green Chakra she held over Hanabi's body to begin healing her.
"Hanabi! I-I'm sorry, I…I didn't…" Hinata said, not thinking she'd actually hurt Hanabi that much, her worry only growing when she saw her sister was crying.
"N-N-Ne-Ne-Ne…Nee-chan…" Said Hanabi while shakily grabbing Hinata's hand.
"Yes, I'm here!" Said Hinata, only to be surprised when she saw Hanabi smiling at her.
"Y-you're…y-you…you really…are strong…and kind." Hanabi said, making Hinata look at her in surprise before she smiled and held Hanabi's hand.
"I couldn't let you think I wasn't, Hanabi-chan." Hinata said, realizing that Hanabi wasn't crying from sadness or pain, she's crying because she's happy.
Happy that she finally got what she wanted; to have the bluenette face her with everything she had, just like she wanted the first time they fought. Now seeing her sister truly was strong yet was still kind, the two things that made Hanabi desire to be more like her. Before Hanabi sat up and hugged Hinata tightly, which Hinata happily returned, smiling at having her sister with her again.
"I'm sorry for hurting you Hanabi, for making you doubt me. I promise you won't ever have to doubt me again, and I'll always be here when you need me." Said Hinata as she held Hanabi close, much to the brunette's joy.
"I love you, Nee-chan." Hanabi said, making Hinata's smile grow.
"I love you too, imouto-chan." Hinata said before kissing the top of Hanabi's head, overjoyed to have her sister back.
Though the bluenette missed Hanabi gaining a light blush as she realized how she could feel Hinata's body from their hug, even more so at how she leaned in closer to her. Thinking of the times she hugged Hinata when they were younger, noticing just how much softer and…firm she was.
'Nee-chan is so…warm.' Thought Hanabi, relishing how warm Hinata felt as well.
Her blush only intensified when the separated and Hanabi looked at her sister smiling at her, really starting to notice Hinata for once.
'And so…pretty…Nee-chan…' Hanabi thought upon seeing how beautiful Hinata really looked.
"That was awesome Hinata-neechan, Hanabi!" Konoka said as the Konoka Squad, Naruto and Satsuki went over to the sisters.
"Yeah! You both were amazing!" Added Moegi while smiling at the two.
"You both are really strong, especially you Hanabi! You handled yourself really good!" Udon said, amazed at how Hanabi was able to still hold her own against Hinata.
"Thanks! But Nee-chan showed she had more training and experience, but that just means I need to train more to catch up to her!" Hanabi said with a smile as some of her old joyful attitude started returning.
"Well with what you can already do, I'm sure you'll be catching up to Hinata-chan in no time." Said Satsuki while smiling slightly at the brunette.
"Satsuki-chan is right. You've already shown how strong you are Hanabi, and training with Hinata-chan means you'll be even stronger." Naruto said, smiling as well upon seeing how happy Hinata and Hanabi both were to have each other back.
"I will! When will we be able to train again, Nee-chan?" Hanabi asked while looking at Hinata, making the bluenette smile and pat her on the head.
"Whenever you want Hanabi-chan, there's a lot I hope you'll let me teach you." Replied Hinata, her smile growing as Hanabi hugged her again, eager to learn anything her sister had to teach her.
Once the two separated, Team Seven and Konoka Squad said their goodbyes before going their separate ways, both groups feeling good about the training and the Hyūga Sisters being reunited. Only to be unaware they had been watched by someone as the person in question vanished once they were all gone.
*Later*
After leaving the training ground, Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata continued wandering around the village until they stopped when Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Yo!" Kakashi said with a two-finger salute, confusing the Genin at his sudden appearance.
"Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here?" Hinata asked.
"Don't tell me we have a mission or training to do." Said Satsuki, not wanting to do any training or have to go out on another mission when they just got back.
"Neither, or at least it's not regular training. I just wanted to come pick you three up as I have something that you three will be doing to work on your teamwork." Said Kakashi, getting their interest before the copy Ninja motioned them to follow him.
Curious of what Kakashi had in mind, the Genin followed him through the village until exiting the main village and into the forest outskirts.
"So what exactly did you have in mind? And why do we even need to work on our teamwork?" Questioned Naruto, wondering why they needed to work on their teamwork when they already worked well together.
"Oh, you don't actually need to. Given everything I've seen, you three have some of the best teamwork among the Rookie Genin. Though I did have something planned to help you three improve your teamwork if it called for it. And then I heard about your recent situation, Naruto, and figured it wouldn't hurt to do this. Not to mention given your new relationship, I'm sure you three will also appreciate it." Kakashi said with an eye-smile, much to their annoyance and embarrassment at the reminder.
Only for them to be shocked when they soon came to a stop in front of a large, western-style, two-story manor surrounded by trees.
"Uh…Kakashi-sensei, what is this exactly?" Hinata asked in disbelief.
"It's your new home!" Declared Kakashi, shocking the Genin.
"Our what?!" Satsuki said in shock at what he just said.
"Yep! After all, what helps improve teamwork more than by living together. Yamato and I just needed to find a big enough place for you three to stay in. You also don't need to worry about your stuff, Satsuki, Hinata, it's already been move in here." Kakashi replied, with the trio still being stunned that they were going to be living here, together.
"Wait…you say this was your plan if we needed to improve our teamwork? What would've happened if we didn't get along and refused?" Naruto asked, making Satsuki and Hinata look at the Jōnin.
"I would've gotten the Hokage's permission for my plan and if any of you refused, you would've been sent back to the Academy." Said Kakashi before tossing each of them a key, noticing they glowed for a moment once they had them.
"Those are your keys to the place and the only ones, which now only work for you three specifically, making it so only you can unlock the doors to get inside. There's also some Barrier and Security Seals since you can never be too safe. Anyone not keyed to the seals that tries entering will cause the house to immediately lock itself down and send out an alert." Kakashi explained, making the Genin nod, glad they won't have to worry about any unwanted visitors.
"Also there are Silencing Seals as well and no neighbors, so no worries about needing to be quiet! Bye!" Said Kakashi before he Shunshined away, doing so just in time as the embarrassed and annoyed Genin threw several kunai and shuriken at him.
"I swear he's going to be our meat shield along with Yamato-sensei, soon enough!" Satsuki said while glaring at where the Copy Ninja had been standing, while Naruto and Hinata nodded in agreement.
"Well…let's go checkout our new home." Said Naruto, curious and eager to see what it looks like on the inside with the girls nodding before they went up and headed in.
The first thing they saw was an entrance hallway with one doorway leading to the living room and another leading to a kitchen/dining room, along with another door which lead to a bathroom. While another door lead into a large backyard, making it perfect for training.
A door beneath the stairs lead down into a surprisingly large basement, something the trio figured they could use for storage. With the whiskered ravenette also thinking he could potentially make it bigger with some Expansion Seals, even altering the shape to add more rooms and floors to it.
Going upstairs they found another bathroom, with it being the same as the downstairs one, having two sinks and a toilet. With a wooden wall and sliding door separated the bathing area which had a bathtub in the center and two detachable showerheads on either side of the tub. There was also a spacious study room with a desk, two couches on either side of a table, along with a small set of stairs next to the door. Leading to a mini library with multiple shelves for books, including shelves under the stairs and beside the door. Finally there were a few sparse guest rooms and the master bedroom, which they found already had Satsuki's and Hinata's stuff inside, as well as space for Naruto's stuff as well.
"Well…at least we won't have to pick different rooms." Hinata stated, blushing lightly at the idea of sharing a bed with Naruto and Satsuki, with the couple doing the same.
"Yeah, and there's…plenty of space in here too." Said Naruto before he began unsealing his stuff and putting it away.
With Satsuki and Hinata doing the same, putting their clothes and belongings away in the room while the female ravenette soon smirked seductively and leaned in close to the bluenette.
"What do you say we break in the new room, Hi-na-chan~." Satsuki purred, making Hinata pause and nod shakily.
"Kami, I'd love to." Said Hinata, eager for the chance to have sex with her teammates/lovers again.
"I'm sure Naruto-kun will love it, even more." Said Satsuki with a smirk as they quickly finished putting their stuff away.
Naruto soon finished putting his belongings away as well, only to be surprised when he turned to find Satsuki right in front of him before the Uchiha grabbing him and pressing their lips together. With the whiskered ravenette's surprise lasting for a moment as he began eagerly returning the kiss. Only for Hinata to grab his head, turning him towards her as the bluenette took her turn to make-out with him.
"You two are insatiable, aren't you." Naruto said once they broke the kiss, before turning back to Satsuki.
"Can you blame us Naruto-kun? After all the fun we had." Said Hinata with an eager smirk, moaning as Naruto kissed her again.
"If anything, being insatiable is necessary with you as a lover." Satsuki said, shivering in delight at remembering how wild he got, fucking her and Hinata until they were unconscious.
"In that case, who I am to deny my horny vixens." Said Naruto eager to get started, before seeing Satsuki and Satsuki smirking seductively at him as they moved back.
*Lemon*
"Enjoy the show, Naruto-kun~." Satsuki purred as she and Hinata began twirling around, swaying their hips around while Naruto watched them lustfully at what they were planning.
Kicking off their sandals, Satsuki winked at Naruto as she removed her hair ribbons before bending down and pulling down her skirt and shorts, showing her black panty-covered ass. Moaning when she felt Hinata began caressing her hips and ass. The Hyūga smiled seductively as she slowly pulled Satsuki's panties down before turning towards Naruto when her face was in front of Satsuki's ass and pussy.
Before she stood and turned around while unzipping her jacket, shrugging it off her shoulders, making Naruto painfully hard when he saw her bare shoulders. With Hinata dropping it, showing just her lavender bra underneath.
"You two were planning this." Naruto stated, groaning when Satsuki pressed herself against Hinata's back, kissing her neck and shoulder while squeezing her boobs.
"Mmmm, maybe we were Naruto-kun. To give you such a special present now that we're back. Do you like it~?" Hinata said slyly, moaning as Satsuki pulled her bra cups down exposing her tits, giving them a firm squeeze.
"Fuck yes." Groaned Naruto resisting the urge to tear the rest of their clothes off right now.
Smirking at the lust and desire in his eyes, Satsuki unhooked Hinata's bra with the Hyūga sliding it off, raising an arm to cover her breasts while tossing her bra at the Uzumaki. Before she went and sat down on the bed, spreading her legs as Satsuki knelt down between them. Putting her hands behind her and leaning back, Hinata smiled seductively at Naruto as she let the Uchiha pulled her pants down, revealing she wasn't wearing panties underneath.
Both girls relishing the sight of Naruto looking barely able to restrain himself as Hinata moaned when Satsuki planted kisses along the inside of her thighs, moving dangerously close to her wet slit. Only for the female ravenette to lean back, allowing Hinata to lift her sweater up with her feet. Lifting her arms up to let the bluenette pull it off, revealing Satsuki wasn't wearing a bra either.
Tossing the sweater aside, Satsuki pulled Hinata off the bed, pressing their bodies together while looking at their lover, rubbing their hands along their bodies. The Uchiha and Hyūga both smiled eagerly when they saw the growing bulge in his pants, before they motioning Naruto to come closer.
Not needing to be told twice, Naruto kicked off his sandal and quickly walked over to the girls, wrapping his arms around their waists, making them moan as he squeezed their asses.
"Just a little longer Naruto-kun, then the fun begins." Satsuki said before kissing his whiskered cheek, getting a moan from the Uzumaki, which only grew louder when Hinata his other cheek sensual lick.
Before the girls pulled off his jacket as Satsuki moved a hand under his shirt, moaning in delight as she rubbed his muscles while Hinata pulled his shirt up. Lifting his arms to let them remove it, Satsuki pulled her lover into a kiss, moaning lustfully into his mouth. Her arousal only growing when Naruto pushed his tongue into her mouth, rubbing against her own, before he began tasting every inch of her. The female ravenette doing the same as she snuck her tongue into his mouth as well.
While the couple made out, Hinata got down onto her knees before pulling down Naruto's pants and boxers, smiling lustfully as his cock popped out while feeling her juices start dripping down her leg.
'I can't wait to have this in me again.' Hinata thought, shivering in anticipation, before wrapping a hand around the base of Naruto's member.
Opening her mouth, Hinata moaned as she closed her lips around his dick, taking as much of it into her mouth as she could before she began bobbing her head along the length. Moving her tongue around it as she licked and sucked it. While what she couldn't fit in her mouth, she jerked off with her hand while getting Naruto's member slick with her spit.
Breaking the kiss, Naruto moaned loudly as Hinata sucked him off, his pleasure growing as Satsuki licked his cheek. Before the Uchiha moaned in surprise when he spanked her ass, giving a squeeze as he did so.
"Satsuki-chan, you look beautiful no matter what, but seeing you with your hair down…you've never looked more amazing." Naruto said, reaching up and running his fingers through her hair, loving the sight of her like this.
'I need to grow my hair out.' Hinata thought, making a mental note to grow her hair out longer.
"Naruto-kun…" Said Satsuki, smiling lovingly at him as she kissed him deeply, taking this to heart from now on.
"…I wanna taste you dick~." Satsuki said while smirking as she licked his cheek and neck, slowly dropping down to her knees beside Hinata.
Seeing Satsuki join her, Hinata pulled back from Naruto's dick while still running her tongue along it, with Satsuki joining her. Both girls moaning as they tasted their lovers cock. Their pleasure growing as their tongues brushed against each other. While the Uzumaki moaned loudly in pleasure at having both his mates on their knees, servicing him. Before Hinata moaned loudly as she swirled her tongue around Naruto's head, tasting his precum leaking out before feeling fingers being pushed into her pussy.
"So wet, Hinata-chan." Satsuki said lustfully at feeling Hinata's juices covering her fingers, only to moan when Hinata thrust two fingers into the female ravenette's snatch.
"You're one to talk Satsuki-chan, you're practically dripping." Hinata said with a smirk, which Satsuki returned as they moaned while fingers each other.
Taking Naruto's cock into her mouth, Satsuki moaned at the taste while swirling her tongue around it as she took as much of it as she could, while adding another fingers to Hinata's cunt. Making the bluenette moaned at the feeling before licking along the part of Naruto's dick that Satsuki didn't have in her mouth. Brushing her tongue across Satsuki's lips as she did so, causing the Uchiha to open her mouth. Letting Hinata slip her tongue in, tasting Naruto and Satsuki together, much to her delight.
Until Satsuki pulled back, allowing Hinata to take Naruto into her mouth again, with the female ravenette going lower and licked the underside of Naruto's member. Smiling lustfully at how Naruto was starting to thrust into Hinata's mouth.
"Hinata-chan, how about we give Naruto-kun something else to put his dick in." Satsuki said while pulling her fingers out of the Hyūga, much to her disappointment.
Before she saw Satsuki sitting up while holding her breasts, making Hinata grin in excitement as she pulled out of the Uchiha's slit as well.
"Good idea, Satsuki-chan." Said Hinata, sitting up as well and grabbing her breasts.
The girls moved together as they wrapped their tits around Naruto's cock and began rubbing them along its length. Causing the whiskered ravenette to throw his head back, howling in ecstasy as he started thrusting into their soft and firm breasts. His pleasure only growing as Satsuki and Hinata licked the tip of his dick.
Giving a final thrust, Naruto howled as he began shooting cum all over Satsuki's and Hinata's boobs, and onto their faces. With the girls opening their mouths to try and get some to swallow, moaning at feeling the warm cum covering them.
Once Naruto stopped cumming, Satsuki pushed Hinata onto her back and climbed over her, putting her pussy over the bluenette's face. Moaning in pleasure when Hinata grabbed her ass and dove into her snatch, licking away and shoving her tongue into the Uchiha. With Satsuki going down, giving Hinata's clit a long lick before spreading her labia open and dived in.
The female ravenette moaning loudly as she pressed her lips against Hinata's cunt, kissing it deeply while moving her tongue around the inside of it, wanting to taste every part of the Hyūga. While Hinata let out pleasure-filled moans into Satsuki's own slit, encouraging her to lick even deeper.
Only for her to see Naruto moving behind Satsuki, with his dick still rock hard, making Hinata grin lustfully before pulling away from Satsuki's snatch and spread her labia open. The Uzumaki not hesitating as he grabbed his girlfriend's hips and slammed into Satsuki's pussy. Causing Satsuki to moan loudly into Hinata's cunt at feeling Naruto filling her up.
Flicking her snatch with her tongue, Hinata soon found Satsuki's clitoris, pressing her tongue deeply against it just as Naruto started thrusting into her. With Satsuki's arousal growing further as she felt Hinata starting to lick her clit, with the Hyūga also licking the underside of Naruto's cock.
'Oh Kami! Naruto-kun's fucking me while Hinata's licking my clit! Oh fuck yes, this feels amazing!' Satsuki thought, moaning in ecstasy into Hinata's snatch while licking it more vigorously.
"Fuck Satsuki-chan! I could never get enough of you!" Naruto grunted as thrust into Satsuki, loving how tightly she felt, making the female ravenette moan at how deep he's fucking her.
'Come on, Satsuki-chan, cum. Cum while your boyfriend fucks you and I lick your slutty pussy!' Hinata thought, moaning at the taste of Satsuki's juices dripping out of her slit as Naruto fucked her.
The feeling sending pleasure shooting through Satsuki's body, making her moan loudly in pure ecstasy as she came hard. Squirting her juices all over Naruto's dick and crotch, with some leaking out and dripping over Hinata's face While Hinata moaned as well, thrusting her hips up against Satsuki's face at the feeling of the Uchiha moaning into her pussy. Making the bluenette climax as well, squirting her juices into Satsuki's mouth, which the Uchiha happily drank. Before pulling back, moaning as Hinata's juices squirted out over her face.
"Come on Naruto-kun, cum, cum inside your girlfriends cunt~! Make her scream like the slut she really is, make her beg you to fill her with your yummy cream~." Hinata cooed as she gave the underside of Naruto's cock a long, sensual lick, while moving her hand up to massage his balls.
"She wants it, Naruto-kun. She wants you to fuck her so badly, to have your cum dripping out of her as you show everyone that only you can bring her pleasure. Do it Naruto-kun, cum~." Said Hinata, giving his member another lick.
Causing Naruto to soon give a final thrust, groaning in pure pleasure as she came into Satsuki's snatch with the Uchiha throwing her head back as well, loving the feel of her lover filling her up.
Pulling herself away from Satsuki, Hinata got out from under the female ravenette before crawling on her hands and towards Naruto while licking her lips at seeing his sleek, juice-covered member. Moaning lustfully as she took into her mouth, tasting both of her teammates essence mixed together.
'I need him in me, now!' Hinata thought, refusing to wait any longer to have Naruto stretching her pussy open.
Pushing Naruto down onto his back, Hinata climbed on top of him, squealing in ecstasy as she dropped her cunt down onto his dick.
"Oh Kami! I needed this; I need you inside me, Naruto-kun! Fuck! Only you can make me feel this good!" Hinata screamed as she rocked her hips, bouncing up and down on Naruto's member, loving how it stretched her open, shaping her pussy just for him.
"Damn, you feel just as great as Satsuki-chan, Hinata-chan! So tight, so soft. Fuck, you're squeezing me so hard! And your boobs, they're amazing!" Naruto grunted as he reached up and began groping Hinata's tits, making the bluenette moan as she pushed her chest out.
"They're yours whenever you want them, Naruto-kun! I'm yours whenever you want me, you and Satsuki-chan have access to me body!" Said Hinata, willing to let her teammates fuck her whenever they want.
Growling lustfully at her words, Naruto suddenly pushed Hinata onto her back, keeping his member inside as he began fucking her. With the bluenette moaning in pleasure at the new position while wrapping her legs around Naruto's waist, pulling him in close. While Satsuki began recovering from her orgasm and Naruto cumming in her, only to smile as her arousal returned in full force when she saw Naruto fucking Hinata. Before the female ravenette went over and sat on Hinata's face, moaning in delight as she began eating out her cunt.
'Satsuki-chan's juices straight from the source, and Naruto-kun's cum leaking out of her! Mmmmm, fuck this is amazing! I love them both, so much!' Hinata thought, moaning at tasting Satsuki's pussy again with Naruto's cum leaking out.
Her moans growing louder when she felt Satsuki begin groping her chest, recognizing the feel of the Uchiha's hands from the other times she groped her.
"Your boobs really are amazing, Hinata-chan. I swear I'll never get enough of them." Satsuki said, smiling at being able to freely grope Hinata whenever she wants now.
"That's something we can agree on, Satsuki-chan. I don't think I'll ever get enough of either of you." Said Naruto before pressing his lips against Satsuki's as the couple moaned into each other's mouths.
'Me either, Naruto-kun.' Satsuki and Hinata thought, knowing they were addicted to each other and their horny wolf.
Naruto continued thrusting into Hinata's snatch while the Hyūga happily devoured Satsuki's cunt, with the Uchiha groping Hinata's tits and making out with her boyfriend. All three moaning lustfully as they fucked, before feeling themselves start getting close. Leading to Naruto thrusting faster into Hinata as she licked Satsuki's pussy vigorously from feeling her orgasm approaching.
'Fuck, I'm so close! So close, so close…oh Kami!' Satsuki thought as she began humping Hinata's face at feeling her climax approaching.
Until soon, the three moaned loudly in pure ecstasy as they came, with Naruto shooting his load deep into Hinata's snatch. While Satsuki threw her head back, moaning as she squirted into Hinata's mouth and over her face. While Hinata squirt her juices all over Naruto's dick and crotch.
Panting lightly from their shared orgasm, Naruto grunted when Satsuki pounced him, pushing the Uzumaki onto his back with a lustful smirk.
"I need you back in me, Naruto-kun." Satsuki stated before turned around, moaning in pleasure as she impaled herself on his member while rocking her hips as she began riding him.
With Naruto groaning at feeling Satsuki's pussy wrapped around him again, along with the sight of her ass bouncing on his lap. Unable to stop himself from reaching out and squeezing her cheeks, getting a lustful moan from the female ravenette before she turned her head and smirked at him.
"Do you like seeing my ass while I'm bouncing on your dick, Naruto-kun?" Satsuki asked, only to squeal in delight when he began spanking her.
"I love you no matter what Satsuki-chan, but I certainly enjoy the view of you riding me." Said Naruto, loving the sight of her ass rippling from her movements and his spanking.
Before he saw Hinata standing over him with an eager grin as she knelt down and sat on Naruto's face, with her back towards Satsuki.
"Don't forget me Naruto-kun, my pussy needs your attention." Hinata said, moaning happily at Naruto wrapped his lips around her cunt, sucking and kissing her labia before shoving his tongue inside her.
"His tongue is amazing, right?!" Satsuki said with a grin, turning her head to see Hinata humping Naruto's face as he ate her out.
"Fucking Kami yes! His tongue really is perfect for eating us out!" Screamed Hinata upon feeling Naruto licking every inch of her slit.
'You two have pretty good mouths, yourselves, let's put them to use.' Naruto thought while making a handsign, before Satsuki and Hinata both found a Shadow Clone in front of them.
Grinning at the sight, Satsuki opened her mouth, moaning loudly as the clone didn't hesitate to thrust his cock into her mouth, grabbing her head to keep her steady.
"Fuck! Mouth, pussy, ass, you're amazing with any of your holes Satsuki-chan! But your tongue really helps add to the fun!" the clone groaned as he thrust into Satsuki's mouth, relishing the feel of her wet mouth and tongue wrapped around his cock.
"Don't forget how soft their boobs are too! Hinata-chan's are definitely the best!" Said the other clone as Hinata had her breasts wrapped around his member while licking the tip, smiling sensually up at the clone.
"I'm glad you like my body, Naruto-kun." Hinata said while giving the clones tip a long lick, dragging the tip of her tongue across her slit while making the clone groan lustfully.
"I don't like it Hinata-chan, I fucking love it! And I love fucking it!" The clone said before pulling Hinata off the original and bent her over the bed.
The bluenette squealed in ecstasy as the clone thrust into her cunt and began roughly groping her breasts from behind.
"I love your tits wrapped around me, but I love fucking your sweet cunt even more!" The clone grunted as he thrust into her.
"Oh fuck yes! Fuck me, fuck me! Fuck me hard, Naruto-kun!" Hinata screamed with her tongue hanging out, her pleasure growing even further as the clone squeezed her breasts hard and began slamming into her without hesitation.
'The shy ones really are the wildest in bed… Kami, I fucking love her and Naruto-kun!' Satsuki thought while moaning at hearing Hinata pleasure-filled screams.
Before the female ravenette gasped when she suddenly found herself pushed down onto her hands and knees, whining slightly when Naruto pulled out of her pussy. Only to scream in ecstasy as well when the Uzumaki pulled her up to knees and slammed his cock into her ass.
"FUCK! Oh Kami yes, fuck my ass Naruto-kun, fuck my ass hard!" Satsuki squealed as Naruto growled in arousal while fucking her ass.
"That's not the only hole I'll be fucking!" Growled the clone as he laid down and grabbed Satsuki's hips, slamming his cock into her cunt, making the Uchiha throw her head pack, screaming in ecstasy at now being fucked in both her holes.
*End Lemon*
*Hyūga Compound*
Unknown to Team Seven, the one who had been watching had been Kō, having learned of Hinata's return to the village and had hoped for a chance to speak with her alone. Wanting to try and help her see the truth of the Jinchūriki using her and bring her back to the clan. Only to not get a chance with the Uchiha being with her the entire time and then them being joined by the Jinchūriki.
It only got worse when they encountered Hanabi and the other children she's been wasting her time with recently, before they all went to a training ground. Before Kō was shocked and disgusted when Hinata began training Hanabi. Normally he would've felt pride that his former ward had grown so strong, only to see how she had altered the Hyūga Clan's Techniques.
Even worse, she was performing them in front of outsiders and where anyone could see them, letting anyone be able to simply watch and steal the Hyūga Clans secrets.
With it only being worse when they sparred and Hinata defeated Hanabi, something that's now lead the Jinchūriki to begin sinking his claws into Hanabi as well. Something Kō knew couldn't be allowed to happen after he's already manipulated Hinata, they couldn't let him steal Hanabi away next.
Leading Kō to quickly return to the compound and report what's happened to the council, knowing they needed to learn what's happened.
"First the Jinchūriki has taken the spare heiress, he's planning to take away our current heiress as well!" An elder said, angered at how Naruto is sinking his claws into Hanabi now after he's already taken away their spare heiress.
Even if Hinata was looked down for her softness, the council at least saw the use of having her as a spare heiress, in the event anything happened to Hanabi or she was deemed unfit. Only for that to be ruined when she chose the Jinchūriki over the Hyūga Clan, making it so Hanabi was their only option.
"Not only that, but the girl has continued practicing Hyūga Clan Techniques when she's no longer part of the clan, but has committed heresy in altering them in such a way. Tainting the Hyūga Legacy more than she already has!" Said an elder in disgust at how Hinata's changed the intended purpose of their Clan's Techniques.
"Even worse that she's trying to make the heiress follow such thinking, that there are no consequences to stray from tradition!" Another elder added, none of them wanting the future Clan Head to think changing Clan Techniques is fine, as who knows what other ideas it could lead to.
"Honorable Council, should we inform Hiashi-sama of this?" Kō asked, believing this would finally push Hiashi to bring Hinata, and now Hanabi, back into the clan and away from the Jinchūriki.
"No. Hiashi cannot learn of this, he has already proven himself incapable of controlling either of his daughters. First with letting Hinata leave with precious clan secrets and techniques, now with Hanabi acting out. We must deal with this ourself." Said an elder, with the others nodding in agreement, none of them knowing what Hiashi would do if he learned what happened.
Not wanting to take the risk that he would let things remain as they are, under some misguided attempt to allow his daughters to bond once again and lessen the burdens he placed on them.
All of the elders agreeing that this was a matter they needed to handle themselves, ensuring the traditions and future of the Hyūga Clan were protected.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see the rest of the team returning and giving their report to the Hokage, with Naruto leaving out some details of his fight with Seimei. Something the Hokage notices and finally decides to confront Naruto about the mask after dismissing the others, leading to Naruto also letting out his frustration over the lies and secrets kept from him, while also showing he now has an idea of who his parents are after everything. Though also revealing part of him wishes things could go back to the way they were, but knows it can't and he's no longer going to hide who he is.
We then we see that Naruto's been kicked out of his apartment, letting out some of his frustration on the new tenant and landlord, while also taking back his money and leaving. Before going to Ichiraku's to calm down, where he reunites with Teuchi and Ayame, telling them what happened and getting some advice. While they also offer Naruto the chance to stay with them, which he declines not wanting to be a bother, only to be embarrassed at Ayame's additional "offer".
Next we see Naruto reunite with his teammates, with them noticing all the foreign visitors in the village, curious of what's happening, before they meet up with the Konoka Corps along with Hanabi, making things slightly awkward. Before they head to a training ground as Naruto shows them Zangetsu, before they start training, with Naruto and Satsuki training Konoka, Moegi and Udon, while Hinata's encouraged to help train Hanabi, allowing the sisters to begin rebuilding their bond.
Until the training ends with Hanabi wanting to spar against Hinata while she's not holding back, something Hinata agrees to after seeing it's what Hanabi wants. Leading to them sparring and Hinata showing to be the superior fighter thanks to her training and experience, though Hanabi still manages to put up a fight, only to be taken out. Something that finally helps the Hyūga Sister reunite, along with showing Hanabi might have more than just sisterly affection as well. Before both groups go their separate way, unaware they were being watched.
Finally we see Team Seven meet Kakashi who takes them to their new home he and Yamato had gotten for them (the Tohsaka Residence from the Fate-series), which leads into the lemon as Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata really get settled into their new bedroom.
Only for them to be unaware the one spying on them with the Konoka Squad was Kō who reports to the Hyūga Council what he saw and heard. Much to their disgust and anger that Naruto's now trying to "take" Hanabi as well, along with Hinata still practicing Clan Techniques and "tainting" them. Refusing to let their traditions be disgraced more than they already are, in their eyes, as the Hyūga Council intends to deal with this themselves. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
