[Restaurant]

Naruto was sitting in the corner of the booth as he watched as the 5 women continue to talk about all the shopping that they had done today. He was still laughing inside when he thought about what happened at the clothing store, as they were leaving the mother and daughter who ran the store had been crying when they left as they had managed to do the entire 3 months' worth of sales in one day.

He then looked at Tenten who had taken what he said to heart and had let Ino give her a new hairstyle let her buns down. Her brown hair now framing her face and down to her shoulders with a few braids. Both Ino and Tenten were listening to the stories Anko is telling.

Naruto then look to his left and see a young mother trying to stop a baby from crying getting up and walking over he says, "you mind if I give it a try?" The mother looks at him and says, "if you think you can try. I've been trying for the last day and she hasn't stopped." Surprising everybody around him when the baby was placed in his arms, she automatically stopped crying and began to laugh and reach for his face.

Tsunade, who upon seeing this says, "looks like you've got the magic touch when it comes to kids, brat."

Naruto looks at her and says, "what can I say it must just be my charm."

Ino begins to laugh and says, "I still remember when he did that to my cousin's new baby. She would not stop crying no matter what anybody in our family did. After 3 days we had all stepped out the back door to have a break from her crying. Ok well we could still hear her crying but then suddenly she stopped and we all ran back inside to find out what had happened and lo and behold, when we got back to the room we found Naruto sitting in a rocking chair with her in his arms doing the exact same thing this baby is doing reaching out and laughing at him. And as for it being your charm Naruto-kun, I remind you what I said at that time you did it and every time after that and now the reason why babies are laughing is because you're funny looking." Upon hearing this everybody in the surrounding area begins to laugh including those sitting at other tables.

After handing the baby back to her mother, Naruto sat back down as he decides to ignore Ino and Anko who were still chuckling to themselves.

Shizune with a small smile on her face says, "I find it refreshing to see a young boy so interested in children and he seems to have a natural touch when dealing with them."

Naruto replies "I've always had a good understanding of children. As I never had any real family growing up, I always look at other people and imagine what it would be like to have a family like my friends."

Tsunade look down and says, "it must have been hard not knowing who your family was."

Naruto gives nod and says, "you are right it was hard." He then says, "but ya know there was a time when I believe I found out who my family was," while he was scratching the back of his head with that goofy grin on his face that his mother shared with him.

Tsunade look at him and she can swear to herself that she can see an image of his mother next to him due to the verbal tick and says, "and how is that?"

Naruto then says, "Ino decided that she wanted to pull a prank on me. She told me that she had heard a rumor of a Yamanaka and an Inuzuka having an illegitimate child. And said that it was probably me due to my blonde hair along with my whiskers and canine like teeth. And when the Academy had a lunch period I ran back to the Inuzuka compound and ran back to the main house and talked to Tsume and asked her if it was possible she was able to do a quick DNA test to check in the form of a blood storage seal but it turned out it was false. She then spent the rest of the day trying to cheer me up."

Ino looks down and says, "when I got home that night both my parents along with her were both waiting for me and it was the first time that I can remember my mother ever yelling at me. They grounded me for an entire month and made me write a letter of apology to Naruto."

Tenten, seeing depressing mood in the room, decided to ask a question that she had been meaning to, so looks at Naruto and says, "by the way I have been meaning to ask you how you found that law. The one that forces men to take responsibility if they get a woman pregnant. I mean it doesn't sound that sensible. I mean can't a woman just say a man got her pregnant then fill out a form then she can take his money and spend it on herself and not the child. I mean the child could not even be his and she can still be taking his money."

Naruto says "you're right if that was the case while I did reveal the law, I did not reveal it all to the crowd. What the form does is start the process there is also a DNA test that has to be done and also you also need to realize Tobirama Senju was far from an idiot he could see that being a loophole as well so he blocked it by putting in clauses. Such as if it does go through the woman will have to bring in receipt's every month of what she spent it on. There will also be penalties for any woman trying to deliberately lie about it. Or if she is bringing in fake receipt's or buying items and then returning them but still bringing in the receipt and it is found out she could lose her child and face prison time."

"How this is done is they will also be assigned a case worker who will sometimes talk to the child to make sure that they're being taken care of. Another thing that is taken into consideration in the law is it clearly states she would get half of his mission pay there is another clause. If the woman is refusing to work simply because she does not want to, she will get some of the money if the man decides not take responsibility but she will not get all the money so to pay for everything including rent and all of the utilities instead of on the child like it is attended to be used for and thus forcing her to get a job as the money is to take care of the child not just her, and the rest of it will be held in trust for the child."

Tsunade takes a drink. She then says, "he is correct my grand uncle was no feeble-minded idiot and I'm sure he put even more safeguards in it. So that the women cannot try to pull that scam."

Naruto then says, "you are correct and that was one of the laws I helped passing in the Land of Waves along with several others."

Shizune decides to move the conversation in the other direction and says, "so you mentioned how you helped the Land of Waves set up an academy. Can you tell us about it?"

Naruto says, "well as you know the academy back in Konoha is mostly focused on academic work and very little on physical. The only physical class you have at the academy is a taijutsu class. Along with a smaller physical class doing running."

He then says, "with that in mind I focused the new academy on a more physical aspect." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a scroll and releases a piece of paper and hands it to the 2 women. Then says "that is a basic overview of the graduation test for all 13 divisions with all of the new ranks."

He then says "I wanted this academy to make sure that the students were prepared for what they will face after graduation. Even getting into the academy is a test of the skills that they have learned at the academy such as infiltration along with evasion. This is done by the teachers patrolling the academy grounds. Before classes start the students must try to enter the academy without being seen. Another thing that I added was the students now have to watch for their teachers being replaced by someone who is not them looking for small details that are wrong such as writing with the wrong hand and so on. The students will also have to be constantly on guard because the teacher might be giving a lecture then suddenly stop and quickly turn around and throw a training kunai knife to test their reflexes."

"Another thing that I changed is the taijutsu class. It is not separated by gender boys will fight the girls and the girls will fight the boys. If they wanna be the best in the class they have to prove it. After they graduate the academy the boys would not have the option of not fighting a girl. And the girls will have to learn that the men are not going to take it easy on them just because they are girls."

This had all 5 of the women nodding their heads at this.

He then continues by listing several other classes that he added such as a wilderness survival class in which the kids are dumped in the woods for 2 months to learn how to survive, while teachers are watching them but they will not intervene unless something dangerous happens.

"There is a class that will be a seduction class for advance female students with a minimum age of 15. Another thing that I added was there will be no chance for early graduation no matter how strong you are you either graduate at age 12 or 16."

"And here's something that might interest the both of you. I had the commander of the fourth medical division Retsu Unohana set up a nutritional breakfast and lunch that each student has to eat. There is no going off campus for lunch and no bringing lunch from home. Each of the diet's are prescribed by the medical division and are monitored accordingly if one of the students is underweight, they are given more food to help them get more fat or muscle. And if one of the students is overweight, they'll be put on a diet that is prescribed by the head of the division. I had this put in place to stop fangirls' from over dieting."

"There is also the issue of the Academy uniform, originally it was only meant to stop the fangirls' from trying to worry about fashion instead of their training. But it also had a second function there are some families who cannot afford to send their children with nice clothes and most the time the kids are picked on because of the clothes they have to wear. Both Ino and myself witness this with our class. We had several classmates who had to wear secondhand clothes and were made fun of because of it."

"There is also the change in how missions are done, unlike back in Konoha the d rank missions are no longer go to genin as I found this to be a waste of resources. These missions can now be handled by academy students for either a little bit of ryo or credits at the academy store for better supplies that the parents cannot buy for them. And if they have enough credits, they can hire a higher-ranking officer to give them some training for the day."

Tsunade put down the piece of paper and looks at him and says "I have one question for you about this fourth medical division. How is it operated and how do the students get selected for it?"

Naruto replies "when the student enters the academy, they get to decide which division they want to join. So, if they decide to join the medical division most of their training will be as a medic along with the basic combat classes. Although we will not have any 6-year old's operating on anybody they will start to learn about the different body parts and different organs. But they will not see a real body until they are at least 10 or 11 and if they choose to be a medic, they have to go all away to 16 regardless of how good they are."

"Another point in regard to the Land of Waves is no mission can be given out without a medic being sent out as well."

Tsunade, who after hearing this, had several teardrops going down her cheeks. She then says "I have always wanted to set something like that up back in the Leaf Village but I could never get it passed."

Naruto gives a nod of the head saying "I'm glad that you approve. You should also know when I open my own academy back home, I would appreciate your input in helping set it up as when the students enter, I want them tested for anyone who has good chakra control will automatically be drafted into the medical program. I also plan to open a school for civilians to learn how to be nurses or doctors. They won't be able to perform the difficult techniques like the medical ninjas. But for what I have planned it should work as long as they are willing to put the time in."

Shizune raises an eyebrow and says "and what is it you are planning Naruto-kun?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders before saying "I find it pretty stupid that the Leaf Village only has one hospital in a such a large town. I mean I can understand it when it was first open being so small but now it should not be that way. I plan to open several smaller clinics around the village that way if someone has a minor injury or sickness, they can go straight to one of the smaller clinics without having to walk clear across the village and bother the big one for it."

[Inside the minds of Tsunade and Shizune]

A chibi-Shizune and Tsunade were both forcing a chibi-Naruto to do a happy dance but due to it being so fast he has swirling eyes.

[Reality]

It was Tsunade who said "your right that does sound like a good idea and one that should have been done a long time ago. But what if the Village Civilian Council tries to stop you like they did me. Because you need the approval of them along with all of the clan heads to open anything like that. And because they are idiots who do not care about that. All they care about is how much money they can make."

Naruto with his foxy grin says "you actually have to read the small print in the contract that are clan signed when it came to the Hidden Leaf. It states the family compound and the district or any property would become sovereign ground owned by the royal family. As long as I buy it under my name it becomes my land meaning the village has no jurisdiction on what I can do on the land as it will be considered to be the Land of Whirlpools."

Ino with a big smile says "that's my Naruto-kun always thinking about the safety of others. That is why he became our little group medic. Whenever we would get bumps or bruises, we would go to him and get patched up and all it would cost us is a bowl of ramen."

Both Tsunade and Shizune look at Naruto with Tsunade saying "why did you not tell me you were studying to become a doctor last night when we were talking?"

Naruto in a lazy voice says "I'm not studying to become a doctor, I'm a medic at best. I can patch up and clean and disinfect the small wounds and set a bone along with doing some stitches but that's it. And that is only because Sara insisted on teaching me when I was volunteering at the hospital, saying if I was going to be there instead of going to the academy like I was supposed to I might as well learn something."

Ino then stood up and said "now if you excuse me, I'm going to powder my nose." Both Anko and Tenten both stand up and say that they need to go as well.

Naruto, seeing he was left alone with Tsunade and Shizune, decides to bring up a subject that needed to be discussed. One that he had been made aware of last night. So, looking at Tsunade he says "so what are you going to do about your meeting tomorrow with Orochimaru?"

Tsunade who had just taken a drink from her glass does a spit take. Looking at him she says, "how do you know about that?"

Naruto replying "when I was having my fight with him, I used another little gadget that I picked up from Mayuri Kurotsuchi. This one is known as [Data-gathering Bacteria] [A/N "Monitoring/Surveillance-Use Bacteria"]. I managed to place it on him when I was fighting him what it does is allow me to hear and see what he is seeing and hearing also allowing me to gather data on him and give me his exact location at any given time and it is undetectable. I have done this to several people since I've gotten it as it is a great way to gather information on pretender targets." Both the women look at him nodding their heads as it made sense.

Naruto upon seeing the look on their faces decided to cut off the question before it could be asked. And says "yes, I have tag on a few women and no I am not sitting there watching them. I have female operatives watching them as I felt it would be an invasion of their privacy to have men sitting at the console looking at them. And yes, I can technically bring up the images but it is automatically recorded and a message is sent letting my operatives know that I'm looking but if they feel that I should not be looking they can cut my link and block my access."

Tsunade gave a nod and says "good I'm glad to hear you have respect for women unlike a lot of men who would have been watching them."

Naruto says "well when you grow up with at least 8 different mom figures, you learn to have some respect for women. But I am not going to deny that I do appreciate a woman's body if I see a nice woman and I'm not completely innocent either I do have one technique in my arsenal and the only reason why they have not beat me senseless is because they see the usefulness of it. I call it my sexy jutsu. I basically transform into an older version of myself in a naked female form with pigtails with clouds of smoke around areas that are not supposed to be seen public. And I basically use it on perverts. It is also a great way to distracting an enemy and giving my partners a chance to hit them. To give you a clue of how strong it is I can tell you I've knocked out the old man with it half dozen times."

Tsunade breaks out in a grin and says "that old monkey has always been that way since he was my teacher, he never could control himself. You should have seen his wife all she had to do was walk into the room to scare the crap out of him."

She then says "as for Orochimaru I will deal with him when the time comes."

Naruto replies "that's good to know but you should know that he was planning on double crossing you. He had no intention of bringing back your brother or your former boyfriend. He was just using your emotions knowing that you would give almost anything to see them."

Tsunade just rolls her eyes and replied "that is just like him he might have been considered the brains of our team but I was always the muscle and strongest of the Sannin."

Naruto says "if you were the muscle and he was the brain, what was Jiraiya?"

Tsunade shrugged her shoulders and says "the team mascot and punching bag or our pack mule for the team." All this did was send the 3 of them into a laughing fit.

Ino was leading the group back to the table, as they approached, they hear Naruto laughing saying "no way, that's another reason my mom hated tomatoes."

Tsunade with a big grin on her face says "yep that's what happened. She was out training and she stumbled across a large family of skunks and got sprayed. And we had to wash her in tomato juice outside in an inflatable pool and your dear old dad happen to stop by because she did not show up for the academy and what made it even funnier was your mom was completely naked at the time you could not tell if she was red because of the tomato juice or her blushing and I nicknamed her the rotten tomato and I threatened to send her to the battlefield because of the stench hoping to making the enemy want to retreat or surrender."

Naruto was thinking about how much he will be able to use this to embarrass her and inside his head you can hear Kurama laughing saying that he remembers that and how she hid underneath her blanket for the entire week and refuse to come out.

Naruto then looks at Tsunade and says "so can you give me any dirt on some of the other women who grew up with my mom?" With a look in his eye that she noticed he shared with his mother when they were planning something. Tsunade just put on an evil smirk and says "I've got dirt on everybody." Ino cut into the conversation by saying "how about my mom and dad? A girl's always gotta have some dirt on her parents mostly on her dad when she starts dating."

[Orochimaru's hidden base]

Kabuto walks into the main lab to see Orochimaru waiting. He then says "my apologies Lord Orochimaru but it would seem the last test results turned out negative and whatever virus Naruto managed to infect you with is still within your system. Perhaps when we finally get Lady Tsunade to look at it she might be able to do something as none of my tests have proven ineffective."

Orochimaru using his left arm knocks everything off the lab table and then says "how is it that brat managed to make a virus that we cannot manage to get rid of?"

Kabuto replies "I am uncertain how this happened. It would seem that Naruto was cleverer than we had anticipated. The power he showed at the third stage and during the invasion is a testament to this. He is obviously a lot smarter than we believe he was due to the new abilities. It is obvious that the Hidden Leaf was ordering him to stay hidden and hide his true capabilities at the bottom of his class to throw people off."

He then says "perhaps we should try to recruit him. He would make a great ally and if we could figure out these new abilities of his it could prove beneficial to our cause."

Orochimaru replied "I have already tried he is too loyal to his village due to my former sensei."

Orochimaru then crosses his arms and says "let us hope that my former teammate is able to get rid of this virus if not we might have to push up all the plans." He then says "just in case she decides not to help, I want you to send out word and have both Jugo and Guren return immediately to the base as we will be taking them with us when we meet her tomorrow as extra security tomorrow my former teammate is not known for her patience and quite known for her violent temper and with my power temporarily not at full power it would be a good idea to have extra."

Kabuto, with a look of shock, says "are you sure you want me to call Jugo?"

Orochimaru narrows his eyes and says "are you questioning me?"

Kabuto begin to sweat and says "no Lord Orochimaru."

[Luxury suite that night]

Tsunade turns to the door opening and sees both Naruto and Shizune walking through it. She can instantly see the large smile on Shizune's face. She then decides to embrace her Uzumaki blood that she rarely used and seeing as it has been a long time since she teased her apprentice, she thought this would be a good time to show her new cousin he was not the only prankster in the family.

Tsunade pulling on an evil grin she says "judging by that smile on your face I'm guessing whatever you two were up to was quite pleasurable and I hope you two remembered to use protection." Turning to look at Naruto she says "if you have knocked her up you better take responsibility" her face then changes into one of pure evil at watching the reaction of the two.

Shizune had gone to a shade of red that Hinata would have been proud of and let out a yell saying "Lady Tsunade he is 12 years old and the fact that I'm old enough to be his mother. How could you possibly ask that?"

Naruto looks at her with a look of shock, he then breaks out in a laughing fit after a few moments he manages to catch his breath. He turns to Shizune, whose face was still red, and says "I wasn't laughing at you I promise it's just the fact that she thought we would sleep together after only knowing each other one day, not that you're not good looking, but if it ever got back to several of the mom's that I slept with a woman after only knowing her for a day well I would not want to know what would happen to me."

Ino who had been sitting in one of the chairs reading a book says "it would depend on who got to you first. If it was Tsume she will probably give you to the new training dogs as a new chew toy. And I do not even want to know what Yoshino would do to you but probably the scariest would be my mom because unlike the other moms who could only hurt you physically she can actually go inside your mind and mess with you although she probably would not have to do much work as you are already pretty screwed up in the head."

Anko who was playing a card game with Choji and Tenten says "I don't know, you're forgetting about Kurenai and what she thinks about perverts. And then there is Sara she would probably make him sit and give a lecture on all the different diseases he could get by doing that. I remember when she gave you your first STD lecture on the subject you came walking out of the hospital after 2 hours and you wouldn't look any of us in the eye" before she then breaks down laughing.

Tsunade then says "so where were you Shizune you and Naruto left about 2 hours ago?"

Naruto replies "I was helping her with something that she needed that is between the two of us, if she decides to tell you that is up to her."

Tsunade looks at Shizune she then thinks to herself what they could have been doing that is when it hit her standing up quickly with a red face and yells "so you will not give me any more money to go out gambling but you went out gambling and were using him as a lucky charm?"

Naruto quietly stepped away from the 2 arguing women and heading to the bathroom, right before he closes the door he can here Shizune say "I was just trying to get enough to help pay off some of the debt so we will not always have to run if you would learn how to manage your gambling better we wouldn't have to."

[The next morning]

Naruto opens his eyes feeling a weight on his chest. He looks down to fine Ino had come out of the room in the middle of the night and was now laying on top of his chest. Gently shaking her shoulder saying "come on get up Ino" but in a sleepy voice she says "5 more minutes."

Naruto seeing Ino is in an oversized T shirt, he runs his hand down her back and gives her ass a pinch. Ino open an eye and says "that area is still closed for another two days" then leans up and kisses him on the lips.

[Hotel breakfast buffet]

Naruto seeing everyone is done eating says "ok now that everybody is done, we can get down to business. After checking my information this morning Orochimaru is already on his way and like I thought he is not coming alone, he is bringing with him 3 other people the first person he is bringing is somebody that my group already met back in the first and second exam Kabuto."

Anko says "I looked into his file and I thought it looked a little sketchy. I guess I understand why now."

Naruto nods his head and says "yes now the second person he is bringing is a girl who seems to have the very rare bloodline ability known as Crystal Release."

Tsunade says "that is pretty rare. The last time I encountered anyone from her clan was during the second shinobi war."

Naruto continues by saying "and the third person he's bringing is a boy by name of Jugo. From my data I was able to get he will most definitely be one of the hardest to deal with. He has the ability to absorb in natural energy better known by Senjutsu. He is able to use it to transform parts of his body to increase his power. He is basically going to be a walking sage although from what I can understand he cannot actually enter sage mode and using this ability increases his rage."

Naruto says "given all this information I have been given I have come up with a plan to set a trap as he is not aware that we are here. I will put up a barrier that will hide us and the moment we need to be out I will bring it down." Looking at his left he says "Tenten, you and Ino are going take on Guren with how powerful your bow and arrows are you should easily be able to shatter the crystal along with Ino's new powerful legs and speed should be able to do the trick."

He then looks at Choji "you will be taking on Jugo he might be fast but you also have a new vantage over him and he would not expect you to be able to transform your arm as well along with your family's abilities should be able to hold him."

He then looks at Anko and Shizune "you two will take on Kabuto. The reason I've chosen the both of you for this is one of you was trained by his master and another is also an accomplished medical user" he received two nods of the head.

Naruto looks at Tsunade and says "that will leave you and I to take on Orochimaru. I noticed in my last fight getting him angry makes him sloppy so I'm going to employ this again hopefully it will give you the advantage to land some hits on him. And also he will not have full access to chakra without experiencing pain."

Tsunade looks at Anko and says "make sure you put this in your report. He is showing good judgment here by making these teams." Anko gives a nod and says "it is already in my report from earlier in the mission but I'll make sure to include this is well."

[In the outskirts of the town]

Tsunade and Shizune are both waiting for Orochimaru to reveal himself. Shizune going along with the plan that they had made, looks at her master and says "are you sure this is a good idea lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade had to resist the urge to smirk putting on a hard look on her face, she says "do not question me." Then says "I thought you of all people would wanna see your uncle again but if that's how you wanna feel you are free to leave and then go back to that pathetic village that will do nothing but betray you when you least expected then you are free to do so."

Suddenly they can both hear "kukuku my oh my Tsunade. I did not think you would yell at her just for giving her opinion." Both women can certainly see Orochimaru rising up from the ground with Kabuto behind him.

Orochimaru then says "I have given you time, have you reached a decision and will you help me?"

Tsunade looks at him and says "yes I've come to a decision and I have decided to clean up a mess that should have been done a long time ago starting with you so if you think I'm going to betray the village that my grandfather and grandmother along with my grand uncle helped build then you are mistaken."

Orochimaru with a look of disappointment on his face says "you are making a mistake" he then uses his left hand and snapped his fingers making 2 people appear one being a girl with dark blue hair and a boy with orange hair behind him.

Orochimaru then looks at her and says "while my associates deal with your partner, I will be dealing with you personally." But before anybody could make a move the sound of shattering glass can be heard as they look to the left, they see what appears to be a large cube that looks like glass begin to fall revealing Naruto and his group.

Naruto looks at Tsunade and says "you told me he was the brains of your group. What did he get in the history class at the Academy?" She replied "he was a top student, why?"

Naruto, with his foxy grin on his face, says "I think it's funny that he does not remember the most important thing about history."

Orochimaru says "and what would that be Naruto-kun?"

Naruto, turning into look at him, says "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat themselves. I said this when we had our fight back at the Leaf Village and I'll say it again no Uzumaki will go into battle without backup she might be one third Uzumaki but she is of the Uzumaki clan."

Before either Orochimaru or Kabuto could react, Tenten quickly manifests her bow and quickly sends an arrow straight at Guren who was barely able to dodge it but before she could react Ino appeared in her new outfit sending a kick at the ground and to the shock of everybody made an earthquake upon impact that could only be rivaled by Tsunade. Guren, who had just managed to get back up quickly had to jump backwards again as another arrow came flying at her. Quickly turning around and running into the woods with both girls quickly to follow her.

Orochimaru who was barely able to hide his reaction at seeing this, he had gotten reports from his invasion about the strange new abilities but to see them in person was different.

Choji, who quickly says, "human border" quickly swelling up and began to roll straight at Jugo who manages to jump backwards taking the fight to the side.

Naruto who looks at the two in front of them and says "normally I would try and manage to capture you but I'm going to give you a warning. Leave, you are outnumbered and with the virus in your blood system I know that your power is not at full strength."

Orochimaru begins to laugh and says "even if my power is diluted, I am still more powerful than you and as for being outnumbered I can easily dispatch one of you" raising his right hand into the ram sign to attempt to activate the seal of heaven on Anko but nothing happened.

Naruto and Anko both begin to laugh at him. It was Naruto who managed to say "that will not be happening this time. I managed to remove it you damned snake. Do you know how much pain you cost her over the years because of that, so when I finally got the skills to remove it I did."

Orochimaru who had gone wide eyed at hearing this says "that's impossible there is no way to remove that seal."

Naruto nonchalantly crosses his arms and says "I wouldn't expect someone with an inferior brain to understand the complexity of the art of Fūinjutsu. Only those who are born to the Uzumaki Clan can truly understand how it works."

[inside the mind of Tsunade]

A chibi-Tsunade was laughing and pointing at a chibi-Orochimaru who was sitting on a 3-legged stool with a dunce cap on his head.

[Reality]

Both Anko and Tsunade had large grins on their faces at the look of rage from Orochimaru. Kabuto then dashes forward and swings a right hook with his hand covered in chakra but he is met halfway by Anko delivering a punch to his chest sending him rocketing backwards. Anko with Shizune were quick to follow.

[Naruto and Tsunade vs Orochimaru POV]

Naruto reached behind his back and grabbed the handle of his tanto. He then called out "Wash them away Lunetta" in a flash of light he was holding his butterfly swords as this was the first time that Tsunade had seen this happen. The shock on her face was no big surprise.

Orochimaru who had dealt with this before instantly took up a defensive stance. He then says "this time I am prepared for your little tricks." He then looks at Tsunade while saying "did she tell you about her little problem with blood" as he slowly bites his right pointer finger making blood come out.

Tsunade who upon seeing the blood began to panic due to her hemophobia. Slowly she begins to have flashbacks of both her brother and her former boyfriend along with everybody else that had died in the wars.

Naruto, who upon seeing her frozen in fear, makes a decision and knowing that there were only a few ways to knock someone out of this from all the different times he had worked in the hospital and from what Sara had told him about it. He decides going with the easiest approach and one of best ways to knock her out of it. So, he reaches out and delivers a back slap across her face and says "get over it. You are a doctor. Seeing blood is in your job description." He then says "if we do not stop him, more lives are going to be lost." He then says "both your brother and your boyfriend would not wanna see the way you have become so afraid. From what I understand they were both happy that you were a doctor and always willing to help people. By you acting like this and hiding away like this you are shaming the memory of them."

Tsunade, who managed to snap out of it after the slap, looks at him and says "after we are done with this you and I are gonna be having a long talk about you slapping me." She then stands up straight and pushing him aside. Inside of his head he can hear Kurama laughing at him telling him he's gonna be turned to paste. Naruto did not have time to argue as they here Orochimaru call out "Wind style: Wind Dragon" suddenly a dragon began to form from the wind around him. The dragon looked like a large serpent, that was at least twenty feet long. As it came flying at them, Tsunade begins to channel her chakra to her right foot and stomped on the ground making an earthquake and making a large piece of it moving upward to make a barrier to protect them from the attack.

Once the gust of wind had died down, Tsunade charges at him and began to attack him with her special style of taijutsu. Orochimaru, using his snake like reflexes and movements after years of being her teammate where he was able to counteract it.

Tsunade then hears Naruto call the warning that they had agreed upon and quickly jump backwards. She watched as the water around his right blade began to flow into the blade. She then watches as he makes a downwards slashing motion calling out "Water Arc Wave Cutter!" A massive, blade-like arc of water was sent racing towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru who has already seen this coming was able to dodge it by performing a substitution. But did not have much time as he was instantly on guard again as Tsunade once again was attacking him along with Naruto attempting to cut him again but was proving more difficult this time due to knowing what would happen if he got cut.

[Ino and Tenten vs Guren POV]

Both the Leaf Village kunoichi had followed Guren through an opening in the forest. Guren quickly spun around and formed crystal shuriken and launched them at her targets. But before they could even make it half-way, they were shot out of the air by what appeared to be arrows made of chakra. When suddenly she noticed that she was in a shadow. Looking up she saw the blonde girl from before jumping backwards and watch as she connected with the ground making a crater along with a miniature earthquake.

Guren quickly formed another set of hand signs, calling out "crystal style crystal prism" from underneath the ground pink crystals shot up and quickly formed a snow globe around her. She then made a set of daggers made of crystal only to see the blonde-haired girl walking up to the outside of the dome. Using her right foot, she delivers a powerful kick to it as if she was kicking in a door, luckily this time it did not shatter on impact but it did create a bunch of spider cracks all throughout the area. She then quickly delivered a second kick this time punching a hole through it making the dome collapse.

Guren was beginning to panic as she then rushes at Ino, she then throws one of the daggers but again it is shattered by an arrow. Looking at the tree line she can see her second pursuer hiding in the tree and due to taking her eyes off her blonde-haired opponent she paid the price when a kick sent her backwards crashing into a large boulder only turn out that it was a crystal clone.

Guren who had used the distraction of the crystal clone managed to retreat realizing that she was outnumbered and out powered. Nobody had ever been able to destroy her crystal weapons like this before and as it was her only useful ability she decided to pull out. Orochimaru had made no mention of having to face someone on this level. She then decided to head back to the base and hope that he would not kill her when he found out.

[Choji vs Jugo POV]

Choji was doing well against his opponent. At first his opponent did not want to fight and asked him to stop. Choji replied that he did not want to fight as well but that he had to protect his friends.

And from the moment that battle started, he noticed how Jugo was able to absorb any damage that was dealt to him. Choji watched as Jugo had just got back up but noticed that something was different this time, as the boy's skin color was becoming greyer, and he began to laugh. Slowly his right arm began to change and formed an axe on his wrist.

Choji upon seeing this looks at him and says "you're not the only one who can do that" he then changes his arm.

Jugo had his eyes go wide at seeing this as he watched the newly formed arm on Choji begin to generate energy in his fist.

Choji looks down at his fist but this time something seems different. That is when he noticed the extension on his shoulder had open up and was charging up spiritual energy, as well.

He then remembered what Naruto had told him about his attacks, that his power would grow when he is willing to protect those he cares about and calling out the name of it would increase its power for reasons he did not know.

Choji look at Jugo and noticed how his face had gone blank. Suddenly he hears the voice of his teammate Ino coming from him say "I don't know how long I'm gonna be able to hold him, whatever you gonna do make it fast."

Choji then cocks back his arm and throws his punch forward hearing a voice in his head telling him the name of the attack, he calls out "El Directo (A/N: One Strike of the Giant") unlike the last time he used it this one seems to be much more powerful with the massive blast hit him point blank and when the light finally settled down there was a large trench screenshot across the field and Jugo was nowhere to be seen. Ino and Tenten come walking up from the tree line to his right. Tenten looks at Choji's arm and says "talk about packing a punch" with a small smile on her face. Tenten and Choji then begin to laugh as Ino merely face-palmed while she is saying "damn Uzumaki he is contagious with those stupid puns. First me, now her."

[Naruto and Tsunade vs Orochimaru POV]

Tsunade is becoming quite angry as she was not able to land a hit on her former teammate. Even with Naruto using one about his of his swords to increase and decrease the gravity around them, Orochimaru was still managing to avoid being hit or cut where it was seen that he had managed to learn from his previous encounter with him.

The 3-way battle was brought to a stop by a loud scream. Looking at the direction of Anko and Shizune. They watch as Shizune fell to the ground holding what was left of her left arm as it would seem that Kabuto had been using the scalpel technique and had manage to cut her arm off.

Orochimaru then looks at Tsunade and says "well it is too bad that Jiraiya could not be here for this battle. Let us finish this once and for all, what do you say Tsunade?"

Tsunade replied "you took the words right out of my mouth" seeing her apprentice so badly injured had increased her rage.

Both the Sannin then go through hand signs and say "Summoning Jutsu" in two massive clouds of smoke revealing a large purple and black snake and blue and white slug with both of the Sannin standing on top of them.

Both the Sannin's attention is drawn to Naruto as he says "don't count me out of this battle as well" as he goes to the hand signs and says "Summoning Jutsu" but instead of a large cloud of smoke like a normal summoning it would seem that the very air itself turn to glass when suddenly a giant hole opens up from that area and from out of this hole an enormous creature that looked like a dragon with 3 heads. Each of the heads had a bone white mask and with red eyes and at the center of its chest was in giant hole.

Naruto quickly jumped up to the top of the middle head he then looked at the shocked looks on the faces of not only the Sannin but also their summons.

Orochimaru who had been standing on the top of the snake's head looked at the new arrival with nothing but fear in his eyes as it was making both other creatures look small in comparison. The snake that had been summoned had stopped mid rant about 100 sacrifices being paid to him for having to be summoned.

Tsunade who was on top of the slug looked at the creature knowing that it was most definitely the creature that she was told about known as a hollow. The slug says "Lady Tsunade, what is that creature? I am not familiar with that summoning." Tsunade replies "it is known as a hollow. It is not a normal summoning."

Naruto had to suppress the grin on his face at the looks of fear on both Orochimaru and his familiar. He then thinks to himself that he has to remember to thank Nel for picking up that scroll and giving it to him as it had turned out to be a summoning contract for hollows allowing him to summon them into battle and have some form of control over them to a special degree and while some of them could resist, the weaker ones did not have that option.

Naruto looks down at the 3 headed dragon and says "I want you to destroy that snake" all 3 of the heads open their mouths and a red orb appears before it then firing in a blast of energy and completely destroying the snake.

Both Naruto and Tsunade then see Orochimaru who had managed to perform a substitution in time and appear on the battlefield next to Kabuto, who was still fighting Anko, grab him then quickly disappeared before anybody could do anything else.

Naruto had quickly dismissed his summoning sending it back to Hueco Mundo. Then quickly ran to Shizune who was laying on the ground using her other hand to stop the bleeding. Tsunade suddenly appeared with a smaller slug on her shoulder and began to look at the wound with tears going down her face telling her to hold on. It turned out not only had Kabuto managed to several the limb but also poisoned it so it could not be reattached.

Tsunade looks up as the rest of the group appeared. Ino says "isn't there anything you can do?" Tsunade shakes her head no "even if it wasn't poisoned reattaching a complete limb like this, I would need an operating room with the equipment."

Ino then looks at Naruto and says "Hinata will be able to do something won't she? You said she can reattach limbs with those new powers."

Tsunade and Shizune both look at him and see him nod his head as he says "yes, technically she will be able to do that and before either one of you ask, I will explain it later it's too complicated right now." Who then reached into his pocket and pulled out a scroll and says "but I do not think she wants to wait days for her to get her arm back so we're going to do this the easy way" getting down to one need he opens it revealing several storage seals quickly looking through them he then pulls out a medical vial of greenish liquid along with a syringe. Naruto looks at Shizune and says "this is known as Hojiku-Zai (Flesh-mending Drug). It is a regenerative serum, which can regrow limbs upon injection, but I need yours and Tsunade permission to give it to you as you are the patient and she is technically the head doctor here." Both women give him a smile as he is following hospital protocol when they both give him the OK.

Naruto then quickly loaded it he then looks at her and says "this is going to hurt. Would you prefer that me or Tsunade administered it for you?" Tsunade cut into the conversation by saying "I think I should do it as a leading medic." Naruto replied "that's OK" and handed it to her and says "inject at the very base of the wound." Those watching were shocked after the injection almost instantly an entire arm erupted out of the wound.

Tsunade and Naruto then spend a few minutes checking on everybody else and administered any treatment that they needed for the wounds they might have. Shizune had offered to help but was told to sit down and be quiet by the both of them resulting in her sitting on the ground cross legged pouting like a child.

Once everybody checked out Tsunade turned to the group and says "as of right now I am taking command of this mission as your ranking officer. We will be heading back to the Leaf Village first thing in the morning" the group nods their heads and says "yes ma'am."

Tsunade then walks up to Naruto and give him a hug saying "thank you for helping with Shizune" as she did not know what would have happened to her if she had lost her arm. But instead of releasing a hug she then says "now we have to deal with the fact that you slapped me" and before anybody could say anything, she grabbed him by the back of his underwear and yanked it upwards lifting him off the ground. Looking around she spots a tree limb on a low branch hanging from a tree, walking over to it she hangs him off the branch by his underwear. She then reaches into his pocket pulling out one of his scrolls and with an evil grin on her face says "thank you for the gambling loan" before turning around and walking away leaving him hanging there.

Naruto looks for help to get down but Anko was laying on the ground in a laughing fit along with everybody else. He then thinks to himself 'at least she only took the small one and when we get back to the village, I will get my revenge on her.'

[Omake Asuma's punishment part 3]

Asuma was in his apartment getting ready for a dinner date with Kurenai. He was in the shower when he thought he heard some noises outside but remembered he had left the radio on so dismissed it. He was planning on making a dinner in his apartment for her. A few moments later he hears the doorbell. Walking up to the door, he opened it to find his girlfriend and invited her in. Kurenai had been having a good day finding out that Hinata had gotten an apprenticeship at the hospital.

Asuma had just taken her coat and was about to lead her into the dining room when there was a knock at his door. With a small smile on his face, says "head into the dining room. I would just be a minute." When he opens the door, he discovered a delivery man wearing a restaurant outfit with 14 boxes of take out. Asuma looks at the delivery man and says "can I help you?"

The delivery man says "good evening sir. I've got your delivery here, 14 orders of large ramen house special. That will be 2800 ryo not including the tip." Asuma was beginning to panic by denying that he did not order that and that he must have the wrong address.

The delivery man pulled out a piece of paper and says "this is the correct address we just got the call about 20 minutes ago. Saying that you need it quickly and you are willing to pay double the price for speedy delivery." Not wanting to get into a fight, he quickly hands the money over and takes the packages.

Asuma had just put down the boxes on the kitchen counter when there was another knock at the door. Quickly making his way to the door, he opens it to find another delivery person, this one from what appeared to be a bakery. The girl standing at his door was wearing a hat that look like a cupcake. With a bright smile on her face she says "hello sir. I got your delivery here, 3 dozen orange frosting cupcakes." She then pulls out a receipt and says "that will be 480 ryo." Asuma quickly pays her and closes the door.

Kurenai decided to poke head into the kitchen and sees all the packages and says "why are you ordering so much take out?"

Asuma was quickly looking at his phone checking what the last numbers that were called. Before he could answer her, there was another knock at the door. Kurenai, seeing the look of panic on his face, says "I will get it."

As Kurenai opens the door she sees 4 different men standing in front of her wearing black pants a white shirt and red vest with a hat on their head each one of them also holding a bamboo walking cane. With a smile on her face she said "may I help you gentlemen?" One of them says "good evening Madam is this the home of Asuma Sarutobi? We have a telegram for him." Kurenai then says "he is a little busy right now but I can take it for him."

As they could not find a reason not to deliver it, the one in the front then reaches into his pocket and pulled out a kazoo. Getting a little tune, the four men begin to sing.

"Asuma Sarutobi you knew this would happen when you decided to poke the Fox so for now you must pay the price as we can never stop until we are told to and we will never stop making your life miserable. It would not matter if it is day or night even if you try to hide, we will eventually find you, we can promise you that.

sincerely from team Alpha."

At the end of it all four them give a bow then they begin to leave but Kurenai called out "one moment please" she then goes back into the kitchen and grab a cupcake for each of them.

Kurenai, after closing the door, looks at her boyfriend and says "what is this about?" Asuma had just opened his mouth to say something when they heard knocking at the door and somebody saying "delivery."
