Chapter 9: Uchiha down
Later, the Nami-Uzu clan left the compound for their night out. Naruto was displaying his new shinobi outfit. He wore the dark green jounin flak jacket like his father. He had mixed feelings about the man, but people feared him. The fourths image would help imprint the legacy of his clan. Naruto wore black long sleeve shirt with a fishnet mesh underneath, black shinobi pants that were loosely fit but not at all baggy. He only had a pouch on his back for small ninja tools like flashbangs, ninja wire, smoke bombs and the sort, everything else was in seals hidden on his body including furaijin. Naruto had a couple white bands on his right forearm and white wrappings on his ankles.
Hinata similarly wore the jounin flak jacket but opted for white pants and a long sleeve white shirt with mesh armor underneath. She wore two forearm guards with a pouch on her back and a black hitiate, headband, hanging around her neck like a scarf. Black wrappings on her ankles with a kunai pouch on her left leg. Most of her weapons were sealed like Naruto.
Haku was more casual since she wasn't going to wear her hospital uniform. She wore a pink short sleeve kimono with blue uzumaki swirls. It was Kushina's and Naruto was adamant that his mother's clothes didn't go to waste. Once they made their way out of the clan section of konoha, Naruto was beginning to have a feeling these two girls were hiding something from him. Mostly because he could sense their emotions. He stopped walking and gave the two a blank stare. "Naru-kun, this isn't just a night out for us. We're actually going to the chuunin exam celebrations.
All the genin teams that competed and survived will be there including their sensei." Hinata said with a sigh. She knew they couldn't hide it for too long but Naruto had already promised them they'd go out that night. "And I'm assuming you didn't think I'd want to go so you only asked if I'd take you two out tonight?" Naruto replied. Hinata giggled and Haku nodded with a smile.
Naruto sighed, "You were right, any chance we just go to ichiraku's?" "Nope, we promised we'd go, Naru-kun. Maybe we can show everyone you're not so scary" Haku said as she and Hinata grabbed one of Naruto's arms and began dragging him forward in a chorus of giggles. Naruto was annoyed but the sound of the two's giggles was like music to his ears and with both of them pressed up against his arms, he decided to go along with his two tricksters.
They met up with Sakura who was surprised to actually see Naruto coming along. He'd never attended any of the group activities when they were in the academy or after they became genin, but then again was he ever invited, she thought. Next they picked up Yakumo and she was a flustered mess in front of Kurama's jinchuriki and her new clan head. She was surprised by how polite Naruto was and despite what everyone had said. Naruto didn't scare her at all although she could sense the danger he posed.
She got a really good feeling from the guy and she just knew that she didn't have to worry about it. Almost as if he might already protect her from anything that may threaten her. Sakura was inquisitive but was assured by Haku that she'd receive her answers once they were settled at Yakinikus. As they walked through a busy part of konoha, Naruto noticed a change in the way the general populace treated him. He'd seen the slight change begin when his heritage was announced. People would occasionally greet him and address him as Namikaze-sama, but most were still scared shitless or hated him still. \
Despite their actions he could still sense their emotions and many of them had treated him badly in his younger days. Now, although they feared him, they seemed to hold him in much higher regard. They offered him free food and items from the stands they passed. Many of the villagers bowed and referred to him as Namikaze or Uzumaki-sama.
And to his entire clan's dismay, a growing group of girls were begging to gather and follow the group. They giggled and screamed when he looked in their direction and gave all of the females traveling in the group dirty looks and even some obscene gestures. Naruto had fangirls and Hinata was nearly combative until Haku whispered sweet words into her ear. Naruto wondered what had changed so drastically in the village until he remembered who he'd killed in front of the whole village and representatives of the elemental nations.
Kurotsuchi was Iwa's princess and said to be the future of the village and possibly the only thing the villagers of konoha hated more than the kyuubi was Iwa. Naruto figured that it was the straw that pushed the villagers to revere him and his heritage rather than hating him and the kyuubi. Naruto didn't care for the attention. They arrived at Yakinikus to see everyone already seated, there was a large section closed off for their celebration. All eyes turned to Naruto and the atmosphere tensed slightly because the last time they'd seen him, he was covered in blood.
Hinata steered him and the group to a booth where they would sit near the others. Things soon went back to normal as the group placed their orders and everyone around them started talking animatedly again. Shino joined the group in their booth and started talking to Naruto about a way to contain his excess bugs. Sakura was constantly scanning the room for sasuke since she hadn't seen him up close in so long, and Yakumo was getting to know Haku and Hinata.
Uchiha compound, Sasuke was training in the uchiha private grounds, he was currently trying to master the jutsu he'd copied from Naruto. He couldn't copy any of the mokuton, or any jutsu with Naruto's sword but the fire and lightning release jutsu he could. He even tried recreating the technique Naruto and Hinata use to move quicker but he nearly tore the tendons in his ankles.
Sasuke refused to accept being weaker than both of them, and people in the village were comparing Naruto to Itachi. If Naruto was closer to Itachi when they were around the same age and he was weaker than Naruto who probably couldn't hold a candle to Itachi now, then Sasuke had no hope to complete his vendetta. He'd train until he surpassed Naruto and Hinata or die trying. Sasuke was nearly ready to drop from chakra exhaustion after using the same version of raiton execution ball as he'd seen Naruto perform.
He'd underestimated the chakra cost and wondered if that was really how big the jutsu was or if Naruto had pumped extra chakra into it just because he could. Either way Sasuke knew he'd have to use less chakra next time, much less. He wanted to perfect the Katon blazing fountain tonight but with no chakra he wouldn't perfect anything. Instead, Sasuke settled for shuriken wire training. As Sasuke was walking towards the nearly obliterated training dummies he heard a loud chorus of screams from where the younger members of his clan resided.
Sasuke hadn't seen them or spoken to them very much as of late except for Shizukai who always nagged him to interact with his little clanmates more. There should've been at least a couple anbu and 2 caretakers, one of which was a chuunin but Sasuke figured it was best to check it out himself. He knew something was terribly wrong and flashbacks of the Uchiha massacre came to him as his sharingan caught sight of both anbu dead in the street as if they were dropped there while bleeding out.
Sasuke ran to the large building that housed the remainder of his clan. He heard more screams and picked up the pace. He burst through the door andhad to jump over the chuunin caretakers body, nearly slipping in the deceased shinobi's blood. Sasuke followed the latest scream to one of the back rooms that seemed to have been barred in an attempt to keep someone out. The door was obviously broken down with debris behind. Sasuke ran down the halfway and charged through the wood and furniture that was once piled in front of the door and came face to face with a man he'd learned of in the academy, Orochimaru the snake sannin.
Ino didn't like seeing a group of girls walk in with Naruto because she already had enough hurdles. Not only did he have a fiance and girlfriend, Ino was officially invited to the Naruto Nami-Uzu fan club. She didn't want to become just another fan-girl like before but she fully intended to get what she wanted this time, even if it took a while.
She made her way to his booth and took a seat although there was barely any room. "Congratulations on your promotion, Naruto-kun," Ino said, trying to be as cute as possible. Naruto knew Ino from the academy as she was one of the few who he didn't sense hate, or really fear from. They just never spoke. "Thank you, Ino-san," Naruto replied stoically although there was the slightest tint of warmth in his voice which was only noticed by Hinata and Haku. Ino wasn't sure what reaction she was expecting but him being polite wasn't it.
Testing the waters, she began asking him simple questions about his matches and was even more surprised when he answered and they began a short conversation. Hinata and Haku gave each other a look before diving into the conversation too and asking their Naru-kun their own questions. Yakumo felt out of place but she started speaking with Sakura and explaining her reasons for joining them at Yakinikus.
Kakashi was seated with the other jonin senseis reading his precious icha icha to get his mind off the s-rank missions pay he was about to lose. He also kept watch of Naruto and his group to observe how Naruto interacted in public. The other jounin sensei were doing the same with Yamato, Asuma, Kurenai, and Guy stealing more than a few glances. "Is it me or does the brat seem kind of normal. Even reminds me of an aburame right now, and who's the girl with purple hair that came with them?" Asuma asked, slightly perplexed.
"He's normally pretty relaxed until there's someone to kill. On the other hand, he seems to be getting started on that CRA early though, I see." Yamata added casually earning him a fit of laughter from his male counterparts. Kurenai was tempted to put them all in a genjutsu but figured she'd save it for a more worthy offense. She looked over at the girl and she seemed extremely familiar. Suddenly the face found a name in Kurenai's head, Yakumo Kurama. Although her hair used to be brown, the girl was definitely Yakumo. "That's Yakumo," she thought aloud.
"The young Naruto seems to be in the prime springtime of his youth despite his unyouthful displays in the past." Guy said almost too loudly. "Oh I'm sure he is, it's starting to look like a scene from Kakashi's book" Asuma added, prompting even Kakashi to let out more than a few chuckles. "He certainly takes after his father though. You'd think the fourth was cloned. It also explains his progress in the C.R.A." Kakashi said. The gathered jounin nodded with most getting in a chuckle. The restaurant's sake beginning to take effect.
Kurenai gave the men another glare before getting up and making her way to Naruto and co's booth. "Congratulations on your promotions, Naruto-san, Hinata. And you too shino. Special jounin and Jounin after a chunin exam certainly is unprecedented, but I'm sure if we were under war policy when you were younger, you would've made genin a long time ago. Congratulations to you as well, shino, for making chuunin. Your team made quite the.. Impression, in the forest. '' Kurenai said.
"Naruto and Shino nodded in affirmation while Hinata responded. "Thanks, it was kind of easy." Hinata said playfully. Kurenai reflected on how far the shy stuttering mess had become, strong, confident, and outgoing. Kurenai was happy to see it although was worried about her ruthlessness. "Yakumo, is that you? How do you know everyone here?" The genjutsu mistress said, motioning to the purple haired girl.
Yakumo couldn't believe this woman was speaking to her. She was the one the village had sent to help her control her kekkei genkai but instead of doing that, the woman had her entire chakra system sealed. Yakumo was debating on how to respond if at all when Naruto spoke for her. "She's the newest member of my clan. Her dream is to be a shinobi and we're going to help her with that."
Naruto had sent a crow to Danzo for more information regarding Yakumo while his clan was in negotiations. He was somewhat surprised to see the crow return with all the information he wanted without a return request. From those documents he'd learned that Kurenai had failed Yakumo. He'd even learned of a plot from the civilian council to place her in an arranged marriage by levying her debts against her freedom, and make her repopulate her clan for their genjutsu prowess. A plot made possible by Kurenai deeming the girl's abilities unsalvageable but in reality, Kurenai just wasn't qualified to handle such a situation.
Yakumo was 15 and they were planning on springing it on her out of nowhere when she was 16 so there'd be no choice and Kurenai had unknowingly placed Yakumo on a silver platter to be used by whoever the civilian council chose. The moment she agreed to be a part of his clan, she had his protection, from anyone. "How is Yakumo in your clan when she has her own? And she isn't able to become a shinobi, she should know that." Kurenai replied calmly.
"It's none of your concern Yuhi-san. The Nami-Uzu clan is extremely private about its business. I'm sure you understand, having dealt with noble clans in the past." Naruto replied just as calmly. "I understand, I'm merely expressing my concern for the safety of those around her. I'll have to speak to the hokage about this." "While we appreciate your concern, Yuhi-san, it's unnecessary. Do as you wish in regards to the hokage although I think you'll find it difficult to convince the hokage to prevent the bolstering of konoha's forces when there's a plausible solution to her problem that is of course, clan business. As you might guess."
Kurenai was flabbergasted, who would've thought the young psycho could play the political game so casually while being so articulate. Hinata smirked, proud of the lesson in etiquette she'd drilled into Naruto while growing up. "I see, well I'll take my leave, but I'll be speaking to Hokage-sama about this." As Kurenai walked away, Yakumo released a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Thank you Naruto-sama, I appreciate it. I didn't want to ever really see her again so I didn't know what to say." Yakumo said bashfully.
"Don't worry about it. Is she a threat to your survival?" Naruto said casually while eyeing the retreating Kurenai. Naruto's teammates and Haku's eyes widened at his last statement. Most wouldn't understand but Naruto had essentially asked Yakumo if he needed to kill Kurenai. "A threat to my survival?" Yakumo asked curiously. "Nu-no, no Naruto-kun she isn't. Right Yakumo?" Hinata said while giving Yakumo a look that said please agree.
Haku was mouthing no no no to Yakumo and while the purple haired girl thought it was weird she agreed. "Um, no she isn't a, um, threat to my survival." Yakumo said and as Naruto returned his attention to his food, certain members in the booth released a heavy sigh. Shino wondered how many bugs he would lose in an attempt to calm Naruto down but was relieved that it wasn't needed. The girls seated around the table then had a chill as if someone was talking about them. Then they heard Guy screaming something about youth that sent the females in the group into a fit of giggles.
In the Uchiha compound, Sasuke once again felt as powerless as he did the night of the Uchiha massacre when he was 9. He looked around the room and saw the caretaker of the clan's children lying in a pull of blood coming from his chest. The remainder of his clan huddled into a corner behind the writhing body of Shizuka. In a momentary glance, Sasuke saw a seal on her neck and cringed as she screamed. "Ku ku ku oh Sasuke-kun." A creepy chuckle snapped Sasuke out of his flashback induced stupor.
"O-Orochimaru, what did you do to her? What do you want?" Sasuke said, hoping to find a way out of the situation for him and his clan. "Kuku hm it seems you've heard of me, very good. I guess you could say, I gave her a gift. I plan on giving you one too, and maybe all the rest of the little uchiha. You never know, it could come in handy." "Don't touch them, I'll kill you." Sasuke replied but wasn't too eager to attack a sannin in such a state.
"Now we both know you don't have the power to back those words up, especially in your state. You've been training for how long now, Sasuke-kun?" "Stop it you freak. What do you want?" Orochimaru's answer was simple. He wanted to take over Sasuke's body once he'd developed his abilities further, but he couldn't just say that could he. "Kuku ku, I want you Sasuke. I want you to join me and in return, I'll give you the power to kill a certain Uchiha."
"Sasuke-ni, help us!" One of the little uchiha boys, Daiki, screamed. Sasuke made a move to get to the kids but Orochimaru wouldn't let him and blocked his path. "What's wrong Sasuke, Isn't that what you wanted all along? Kakashi obviously isn't getting it done. My spies say you lost to the hyuga girl, and you think you can kill itachi?" Orochimaru kicked sasuke in the chest and down the hallway through the debris. Sasuke was tired and out of chakra but he pulled out a kunai and charged orochimaru. The snake sannin simply sent a kick to Sasuke's temple that sent him through the wall of the building into the next room.
Orochimaru followed and sent a devastating punch to Sasuke's gut, sending him through another wall and onto the street of the compound. "Weak! And you're supposed to be some prodigy uchiha? Join me, and I'll make you into what you should've been." Orochimaru said after appearing over the newly promoted chuunin. Sasuke spit out a glob of blood and struggled to his feet, he had to protect his clan. "I don't need you, I'll beat that hyuga and the Uzumaki. I won't join you, now leave!"
At yakinikus, Sai, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Tenten, and Neji were in their own booth discussing a troublesome blonde they were lucky enough to avoid in the forest. "How does he seem so normal? I mean, how could he be so calm after what they did in the forest and the arena?" Tenten asked. "Don't be fooled, TenTen, he may seem relaxed but I'm sure he's prepared to skewer everyone in this room with his chains at a moment's notice." Neji said ominously.
Choji made no comment but began eating faster. "Idk, maybe we aren't giving him enough credit. He met with the Ino-Shiki-Cho clan heads and my pops described him as calm, unreadable, and meticulous. Even when he fought, it was never as wild and uncontrolled as it may have seemed." Shikamaru stated. "So you think he's faking the whole crazy act? I knew it!" Kiba interjected. "No, he's definitely not faking it. I wouldn't test that theory if I were you either. It'd be.. Troublesome," said the lazy Nara.
"Well he better not be lying about these bloodlines, my mom and sister are busting their ass to find these tricky ass ninja foxes. Have your clans make a deal too?" Kiba said. "Bloodlines? What do you mean? Is that how his team was using all those crazy abilities?" Tenten said. The girl was obviously perplexed. Neji figured her family hadn't heard of his clan taking requests for bloodlines so he might as well enlighten her.
"After the chuunin exams, there was a rumor that the Nami-Uzu clan was openly taking requests for bloodlines. Most of the clans, nobles andd shinobi in the village submitted a request. Apparently, it's true. Naruto can give others bloodlines as well as himself. How he does it is supposed to be a highly valued clan secret so no one knows how.
I've heard the Nami-uzu and my clan's elders met to discuss the proposition but the branch family hasn't been informed of the results. It seems Kiba's clan came to an agreement with the Nami-Uzu though." Tenten listened adamantly and wondered if by some miracle, Naruto could bring back their family kekkei genkai. If it was true of course. She looked at the others for confirmation. "It's true, the ino-shika-cho clans gave up a fifth of their land each so the Nami-Uzu had the land to expand. He's supposed to give us a bloodline that.. Resembles our clan jutsu." Shikamaru confirmed.
"Can he really do it?" Choji asked. "He's already done it. In the finals Hinata used what was thought to be a lost bloodline, ice release. Shino had one as well although it wasn't as flashy. I'm assuming you didn't notice his increase in speed and rapid healing during his match." Neji said chidingly. "So that's why he was promoted to jounin, and Hinata to Tokubetsu Jounin." Kiba said with disdain.
"No, they were promoted that high because we're going into war time protocol. Those with the strength of the rank will be promoted and gain experience in the field with a team that gives them a high probability of success." Shikamaru corrected, it was obvious Kiba was jealous, and he found it troublesome. "You're barking up a tree you should really avoid, dog breath," Sai mocked. Kiba growled under his breath while those around the table snickered.
At the Uchiha compound, "Tsk, Tsk Sasuke-kun I'm disappointed. I thought you actually wanted to kill your brother, but it seems like your ambition was purely idealistic. Maybe you don't have what it takes. Maybe I should take the little uchiha I marked. Unlike, you. She fought hard you know, even awakened her sharingan which is why I marked her. Hmm yess, I might take 2 or three, a couple extras would suffice." Orochimaru said nonchalantly as he turned away from Sasuke and began walking towards the building with the other Uchiha.
"Wait, leave them alone and I'll come with you." Sasuke said, trying his best not to lose consciousness. He'd put up the best fight he could but had already been on his last legs to begin with and had none of his ninja tools having been too tired to recollect them. "Kuku, yesss I thought you'd come around, Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru's tongue flickered out of his mouth like a snake before his neck extended and twisted around towards Sasuke.
The Snake sannin bit him on his neck, injecting his cursed seal. Sasuke screamed before losing consciousness. Orochimaru picked the writhing uchiha up and draped him over his shoulder before disappearing in a shunshin. Shizuka had crawled her way, fighting through the pain to see what was happening to Sasuke. She was barely able to hear as she only made it to the hole that broke the outer wall of the building, but she'd heard what Sasuke had done for them. Despite wanting to find help, the pain coursing through her neck was too much and she passed out too.
At Yakinikus Kakashi had just finished an extremely brief celebratory speech for the former genin in attendance. He was hoping they would take it as time to leave but he lost hope when Naruto's booth ordered rounds of Sake. The jounin and the other booths soon followed suit which left Kakashi trying to decide how many deadly missions it would take to recoup the ryo he was losing.
Time passed and as everyone was leaving, Naruto's group was stopped by an anbu who requested his presence at the hospital. Naruto sent clones with Yakumo to gather her things and move her into the compound while the others decided to tag along with Naruto. They arrived at the hospital and were ushered to an area guarded by anbu where they met the Hokage. Sakura, Haku, and Hinata weren't allowed in the restricted area and were forced to wait in the lobby. Once alone with Naruto and anbu gaurds, Hiruzen explained the emergency.
The uchiha clan had been attacked again and sasuke was taken, presumably by Orochimaru. 3 of the kids were completely unharmed physically but one is in critical condition with a curse mark, believed to be placed by orochimaru himself. No trace of orochimaru or sasuke have been found and from the kid's description. A single man that Sasuke called Orochimaru infiltrated their compound, killed all the guards and bit Shizuka leaving her with a cursed seal. "So you want me to remove it?" Naruto said after the explanation was finished.
"If possible we want you to do what you did for Anko, although if you must remove it to save her life then please do so." Hiruzen responded. Naruto thought about it for a moment and since it was his sensei who left those uchiha children defenseless without their clan, he'd do it. Once he looked the girl and the seal over, Naruto figured he had a few options but chose the most interesting.
He'd modify it like Anko's but instead of replacing orochimaru with mokuton chakra, he would replace it with chakra from his seigan. If his theory was correct, his seigan's chakra was so potent that it would not only suppress the malevolence coming from the chakra used to absorb and utilize natural chakra, but it would allow her better control of the chakra in general. Maybe even other benefits or possibly downfalls but who knew.
He placed the seal on her stomach and told Hiruzen and Kakashi Orochimaru's seal was gone, which was only partly true. He had to personally acclimate her body to the seal, speeding up the process by cycling her chakra until the seal fully incorporated. This way it really looked like the seal was gone. The girl's body was worn and she needed plenty of rest. Naruto stressed that but the medics could see themselves. When asked what he wanted for his services, Naruto denied any payment before leaving without speaking to the hokage further.
He used his senses to find Haku, Hinata, and Sakura who were being lectured by Tsunade-senju herself. Naruto didn't care for their conversation but was surprised to hear that they all would be apprenticed to Tsunade. Their training would start in a month when they aren't on missions or taking shifts at the hospital. Naruto wondered off after hearing about the dedication it would take and Tsunade's high standards.
He'd heard enough of that boring rhetoric from Crow-sensei and Danzo. Naruto sensed Lee's weak chakra signature nearby and decided to pay him a visit. Lee was covered heavily in bandages and splints from the burns and injuries that medics should've healed by now. He observed the genin's chakra and realized that Lee's chakra was incredibly special. Through a few quick tests Naruto was able to discover that Lee had a unique chakra that nullified chakra.
Lee actually had a bloodline and his own bloodline was more than likely the reason he's never been able to utilize the chakra within his body other than opening the gates. He wouldn't even know of his ability because his chakra wouldn't interact with another's outside of his body. Instead it was festering in his own body, uncontrolled and nullifying Lee's own chakra. Naruto thought of what he could do to fix this problem. The day was certainly becoming increasingly interesting.
It took Naruto nearly 20 minutes of deep thought and experimentation but he eventually found a solution as Tsunade and her new apprentices walked into the room behind him. "Naruto, what are you doing?" Tsunade asked skeptically. Naruto ignored her because he was in the middle of the delicate process of manipulating the chakra in Lee's system to a less potent form of itself. His bloodline had gotten so potent over the years that his own chakra nullifying, chakra, was nullified. The idea almost gave Naruto a headache.
Lee probably couldn't receive any serious medical ninjutsu either which would explain why he's still in such bad shape. Naruto siphoned off Lee's chakra while reintroducing that same chakra with a mix of Lee-friendly chakra. Naruto did his best to remove as much of the bloodline as he could from Lee's chakra system and if he could, his very chakra signature. The chakra almost nullified his own too but Naruto released it into the air before it could try.
His seigan glowed brilliantly, lighting up the dimmed hospital room, Tsunade loudly called Naruto's name. She could physically see some transfer of chakra between Lee and Naruto's palms and she knew firsthand that chakra infusions of any kind were the most dangerous forms of medical ninjutsu. Tsunade was about to approach Naruto before Hinata grabbed her arm and said, "Whatever he's doing, he knows what he's doing. His seigan lets him do things we couldn't dream of. Please, Just wait and see."
Tsunade hesitantly nodded and stepped back, taking a leap of faith in trusting her surrogate grandson with her patient. Naruto cycled through Lee's chakra system almost 30 times before he knew he reached the limits of his seigan's abilities. He was exhausted which was unusual for him using the seigan. For a second he thought it was the sake but he doubted that was it.
When he checked Lee's chakra signature and system again he realized why, he was exhausted. He'd cycled Lee's system with the less potent version of his chakra so much that Lee barely had a bloodline anymore, at least until he produced more of the chakra. The bowl cut genin would have to train his special chakra to put it to good use, but his chakra would be usable and the medic nin would be able to treat him.
Naruto relayed what he'd found and what he'd done to Lee and he didn't blame Tsunade for being so disbelieving. She'd tried to heal Lee herself and her jutsu was ineffective. Lee hadn't been able to use chakra his whole life, so Tsunade was more than skeptical. Naruto motioned for her to give it a go and to her surprise and shock, Lee was responding to her medical ninjutsu. Tsunade promptly kicked her apprentices and Naruto out while sending for Shizune so she could attempt to fix Lee before his injuries left permanent handicaps.
Sakura was gawking at Naruto and how casually he just performed a miracle. Sakura wanted to stay and see the results of the surgery which left Naruto to leave with his girlfriend and his fiance. The Namiuzu clan returned to the compound quickly before another anbu had the chance to stop them. Yakumo opted to stay in a room within the main house for a few days until the third building was fully furnished. Naruto's two significant others subsequently decided it was a good night to share a bed with their Naru-kun. Naruto wouldn't complain, the two were adventurous when they were together, and he looked forward to it.
