Stitched Kitsune: Chapter 38

Hojo hot springs outskirts (4 days after the battle): With Kurenai, Sakura and Tayuya

Sakura, Kurenai and Tayuya were all waiting on a hillside outside the Hojo hot springs resort waiting for Naruto and Sasori; for the past 2 days they've been looking for Tsunade in the village and so far they haven't found her.

"Kami this is such fucking bullshit" Tayuya said getting Sakura and Kurenai's attention "where the hell is this lady".

"She's a legendary sanin Tayuya" Kurenai said "she has power you can only dream of; and intelligence to match". "She has stayed hidden for nearly fifteen years" Kurenai said and Sakura nodded.

"I just hope she actually helps us" Sakura said "I mean we're going to take her to Orochimaru; and no offense Tayuya but… he's really creepy ".

Tayuya shrugged "trust me if you seen half the shit I seen him do; you basically made a deal with the devil" she said making Sakura shiver and Kurenai groan.

The trio waited on the hill for another few moments until they saw two figures approaching; Naruto and Sasori were approaching at a fast pace with Naruto in particular being in a rush.

"She wasn't here, lets get going" Naruto said as he walked by Sakura and the others.

"Hold it buster" Sakura said grabbing him and stopping him "what's the rush; why don't we just get a hotel here".

"Umm… well you see I-hehe" Naruto said as he turned around and took off his jacket revealing his hearts; Naruto's hearts moved from his chest to his back and now Naruto had 3 masks on his back instead of two. "I kinda… ran into trouble" Naruto said with a slight chuckle.

"What did you do" Kurenai asked trying to gauge whether she should be mad or not; Sasori cleared his throat and spoke.

"We were looking around and asking for information" Sasori said and the women nodded "and we ended up walking into a pawn shop".

Flashback; 2 hours ago: With Naruto and Sasori

Naruto and Sasori were both in a pawn shop talking to the owners 2 fat ugly brokers with lots of gold chains and rings on their fingers. Naruto was holding a picture of Tsunade and speaking to one of them.

"So you haven't seen this lady" Naruto asked and one of the brokers shook his head.

"Nope I haven't" he said "but if she's your type I got you covered kid" he said pulling out a box from under the counter. "You want big tits I got this baby here; smuggled from Iwa" the fat man said as he held up a bootleg porno.

Naruto groaned at this and turned around "lets go and find the others and bail; another dead end" he said as he and Sasori began to walk out.

"Hey wait I have more stuff in here; at a good price" the fat man said "i got BDSM, Anal, Girl on dog, Girl on horse"; Naruto groaned in disgust from the man listing off what he had. Just as Naruto and Sasori reached the door and opened it the man spoke again "how about something a little younger" he said making both of them stop.

'Hehe, got them' the fat man said "this video the girl is about six years old, I got another where she's nine; buy one get one half off".

Naruto closed the door and locked it before turning off the glowing 'OPEN' sign in the window; Naruto and Sasori turned around with looks that showed unbridled anger and rage. Both of the pawn shop owners felt fear and anxiety begin to build inside as Naruto looked to his side and found a cricket bat, picked it up and began to give it some warm up swings.

"Sasori" Naruto said and Sasori looked at Naruto "they're mine"; Naruto began to walk over to the 2 fat pawn shop owners who began to cower as Naruto began to walk over. Naruto's threads began to come out of his body and he began to look like a monster out of a horror movie.

"W-wait hold-" one of the pawn shop owners began to beg until Naruto dashed ahead and hit him across the face with the cricket bat. The other pawn shop owner tried to run but Naruto sent his threads to him and restrained him.

"Where you going" Naruto said in a growl "we're just getting started".

Flashback end

"After Naruto beat them and took their hearts, we robbed the place and set it on fire" Sasori said as he looked to the village "oh look you can still see the smoke". Sasori pointed and there was a black smoke coming from the furthest edge of the village.

"Screw those guys" Naruto said as he put on his jacket and everyone looked at him "I may be a murdering, greedy, scum bag; but there are two things I'll never accept". "Rapists and Pedophiles" Naruto said "even assholes like me have limits".

Sakura smiled at this and walked over; Sakura then planted a kiss on Naruto's cheek making him blush "well I'm proud of you Naruto; you killed two creeps, nothing of value was lost".

"But a lot was gained" Naruto said with a smile as he raised up two scrolls "i got all the gold, silver and cash from the place; looks like I got a reward".

Naruto popped open a scroll and a large pile of gold and silver jewelry appeared; Naruto grabbed a really tacky gold lion head ring and put it on his right middle finger. "Maybe Mie was right" Naruto said "maybe there is a god up there and this is my reward for sending those bastards to hell".

"Either way we can't stay in town now" Sasori said "we can make camp and rest for the night before heading to the next village; what's it called again".

"Tanzaku Gai" Kurenai said "it's a large casino town with a huge historic castle in the center of the village".

"Well we better get going" Sasori said as he took the lead and the others began to follow him; Kurenai walked up next to Naruto and spoke.

"And I must say Naruto good job" Kurenai said and Naruto nodded.

"Thanks Kurenai; when I heard them talk about those videos I thought about Toka" Naruto said thinking about Sasori's daughter and Karin sister "that shit made my blood boil". "I try to be the best role model for her; I love her like the little sister I never had" Naruto said and Kurenai smiled.

"And I'm sure your a great role model for that little Toka" Kurenai said with a smile.

Meanwhile; in Snow country: With Toka

Toka walked out her front door with a fishing pole and a small back pack "mommy, I'm going fishing" she shouted.

"Ok sweetie; be safe near the water" Mie said as he began to put the laundry on the cloths line; Toka nodded and began to walk to a nearby stream.

After a five minute walk Toka arrived at a small stream and saw down on a log; Toka tossed out the line into the water and put the rod between her legs to hold it. Toka took off her backpack and opened it up; Toka pulled out a CD player and put on some head phones.

Toka popped open the player and reached inside her bag and pulled out a CD with the words 'Naruto's Mix' on it; Toka popped it in and pressed play and after a few seconds of static a song began to play. (I don't own this song NWA does)

"Fuck the police coming straight from the underground; A young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown"

"And not the other color, so police think; They have the authority to kill a minority"

"Fuck that shit 'cause I ain't the one"

"For punk motherfucka with a badge and a baton; to beaten on, and thrown in jail" Toka said as she began to sing along not understanding what the song was about "We can go toe-to-toe in the middle of a cell".

In Oto: With Kakuzu, Orochimaru and Kabuto

"What is taking them so long" Orochimaru said through gritted teeth as he sat on a hospital bed; over the past few days Orochimaru's condition has been getting worse as his arms were decaying faster.

"You don't have a right to complain Orochimaru" Kakuzu said looking at the wounded sanin with narrowed eyes "because of you not telling us about this 'Akatsuki' group you were a part of, Zabuza got killed, Fu's comatose and Karin's back is broken; not to mention Naruto's chakra is messed up from that seal".

"How was I suppose to know they would attack" Orochimaru said looking at Kakuzu "Pein was mostly talk; when I was there there were only eight of us". "And if Sasori killed Itachi like you said, then they are now down to six" Orochimaru said and Kakuzu nodded.

"And soon there will be zero" Kakuzu said making Orochimaru go wide eyed "I cannot risk them coming back; we have Naruto and Fu and I have a feeling they won't be giving up". "So you are going to help us destroy them" Kakuzu said and Orochimaru nodded.

"I'll help you when I get my damn arms fixed" Orochimaru said and Kabuto walked up.

"Allow me to change your bandages my lord" Kabuto said and he walked over to Orochimaru and he began to remove his bandages; as Kabuto removed he bandages small pieces of purple decaying flesh came off and Orochimaru hissed in pain.

"Damn it" Orochimaru said 'they better bring back Tsunade to heal me and Kimimaro; otherwise we'll have an even bigger problem'.

2 days later; Tanzaku Gai: With Naruto and the others.

Naruto, Sasori, Kurenai, Sakura and Tayuya walked through the gates of Tanzaku Gai and Sasori spoke up "all right; lets get started" he said "I'll check the North end of the village; Sakura and Kurenai will check the South side".

"Copy that" Kurenai said and Sakura nodded.

"What about me and Tayuya" Naruto said and Sasori spoke.

"You two will check the center of the village" Sasori said before continuing "and stay on your toes; after the ruckus we made a few days ago the heat is still on". "Watch out for any Konoha ninja and the Akatsuki" Sasori said and everyone nodded.

Everyone went in different directions as they continued their look for Tsunade.

2 hours later; Center of the village: With Naruto and Tayuya

Naruto and Tayuya just walked out of a smoke filled casino filled with a lot of old people; the entire building was filled with cigarette smoke and slot machines but no Tsunade.

Naruto and Tayuya coughed as they walked out "oh man that was bad" Naruto said as he breathed in some fresh air "god I hate cigarettes; I prefer cigars". Tayuya coughed and spoke.

"You smoke cigars" Tayuya asked and Naruto nodded.

"Only on occasions with Gato" Naruto said as he and Tayuya began to walk down the busy street "when we do a big mission for him he throws us a huge dinner and we smoke cigars afterwards". Naruto began to chuckle at the memory "one time we got rid of these opium dealers is hot water country and to celebrate we had a dinner" Naruto said with a smile "it was me, Sasori, Kakuzu and Zabu-".

Naruto stopped halfway through the story as he remembered Zabuza "Zabuza had made me a bet he could finish a cigar in one puff; I took the bet and he sucked the whole thing down" Naruto said slightly saddened. "He ended up coughing his brains out… but he won five thousand Ryo off me" Naruto said; Tayuya seeing how upset Naruto was felt a little bad.

'Damn this is a real bring down' Tayuya thought; up ahead there was a restaurant and bar and she had an idea "hey how about we get some food; not sure about you but I got one hell of an appetite".

Naruto smiled 'trying to lighten the mood…thanks Tayuya' he thought "sure; it's on me… but I choose the appetizer". Tayuya nodded and the both of them walked over to the restaurant and opened the door.

Naruto began to look around for a spot to sit "Ok now where to sit-" Naruto said until he stopped; sitting at the bar there was a blonde woman wearing a green Haori with another woman beside here.

Naruto pointed at the woman and Tayuya looked over and her jaw dropped "no fucking way" she said; Naruto nodded and began to walk forward.

"Hey boob lady; you still suck at gambling" Naruto said jokingly as he stood behind Tsunade

Tsunade hearing this got a tic mark while Shizune holding Tonton paled at what she heard 'oh god is it a collector' Shizune thought 'we don't have any money'.

Tsunade turned around and began to shout "Who the hell just said-" Tsunade paused as she saw a young man wearing a leather jacket; he had spiky blonde hair, blue eyes and what looked like stitches along his mouth and 3 lines of stitches along his cheeks. Tsunade looked at him and felt a sense of deja vu.

"What you forgot me already; after I won you all that money back in Kareta Ki" Naruto said with a bright smile.

"Well if it isn't Naruto" Tsunade said with a smirk "looks like the runt has grown up since the last time I saw him"; Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

"Well I have been training a lot" Naruto said with a smile.

Shizune was looking on in shock 'd-does Lady Tsunade know him' she thought; Shizune studied the young man from head to toe. He looked to be about average height and his cloths were nothing fancy other than a expensive leather jacket; he also had a few gold rings and bracelets on his hands.

But what most surprised her was his face the scars and stitches on his face were a little unusual but other than that he looked handsome and normal.

"So Tsunade; who's the lady" Naruto said breaking Shizune out of her stupor; Shizune stood up and bowed.

"My name is Shizune; I'm Tsunade's assistant and apprentice " Shizune said "I'm 20 years old, a jonin and I specialize in medical ninjutsu". Shizune then got back up and showed off her pig "and this is my friend Tonton; I raised her since she was a little piglet" she said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Shizune; you too Tonton" Naruto said smiling at the black haired woman 'she seems nice; maybe she and Mie should meet'.

"So brat what are you doing here with…" Tsunade said looking at Tayuya who was standing behind him "you're girlfriend". Naruto and Tayuya blushed and Tayuya spoke up.

"I'm not his girl melon tits; I'm here on my Lord to give you an offer" Tayuya said; suddenly Tsunade rushed out of the chair and put her finger and inch away from Tayuya's forehead.

"One more outburst like that and I'll scramble that brain of yours" Tsunade warned and Tayuya gulped.

"Woah, woah, chill out" Naruto said as he put Tsunade's had down and pushed Tayuya away "Tayuya is just a little rough around the edges; she doesn't mean anything by it".

Tsunade walked back to her seat and sat down "ok brat" she said "where are the other three; the green haired girl and the two red heads". Tsunade then saw the look on Naruto's face as it shifted into a worried look and Naruto gulped.

"We have a lot to talk about" Naruto said "lets do this in private back in our hotel".

"Wow brat… you should really buy a girl a drink before you invite her back to your room" Tsunade said jokingly making Tayuya chuckle and Shizune face palm.

"Grrrr… fine" Naruto said the joke going over his head and walking up to the bar "bar keep; martini's for the girls and a beer for me… just one".

The bar tender looked at Naruto and furrowed his brow "how old are you son" he asked and Naruto shrugged.

"Old enough" Naruto said.

"Good enough for me" the bar tender said making the girls sweat drop.

"Umm… Naruto, Lady Tsunade was just-" Shizune began until Tsunade covered her mouth.

"Shizune, don't be rude" Tsunade said with a tone "especially with a free drink".

"I'm not gonna complain" Tayuya said as she walked over and sat down "never tried alcohol before; this is a first for me".

"Oh Kami" Shizune said defeated.

In a hotel room: With Naruto, Tsunade and the others

Tsunade was sitting on a couch in the living room with Shizune looking at Naruto, Tayuya and the rest of his group; Tsunade saw a red haired man, a blonde girl with green eyes and a brunette with red eyes.

"Ok brat you got me here; before you start who are these people" Tsunade asked and Sasori walked up.

"I'm Sasori of the red sand" Sasori said making Tsunade and Shizune go wide eyed; Tsunade didn't let down her guard but now she was on edge ready to fight if need be "don't worry; I'm not here to fight".

Sasori backed away and Sakura walked up next "I'm Sakura Haruno, former ninja of Konoha" she said making Tsunade cock and eyebrow "after… a series of unfortunate events Konoha betrayed me and I'm now with Naruto".

"Damn another girlfriend brat; those other two might be getting jealous" Tsunade said jokingly and Sakura blushed.

"I-I'm just his friend" Sakura said before she began poking her fingers "N-Naruto saved me from a dark place; the least I can do is help him". Sakura went back and sat down next to Naruto.

"Thanks Sakura" Naruto said and Sakura nodded; Kurenai walked up next and spoke.

"I'm Kurenai Yuhi; genjutsu mistress and former jonin of Konoha" Kurenai said shocking Tsunade and making her go wide eyed.

"Wait, you're Shinku's girl" Tsunade said and Kurenai nodded.

"Yes, my father told me stories about you" Kurenai said "about how you saved his life in the last war".

"So why are you no longer a Konoha ninja" Tsunade asked "what the hell is going on here"; Naruto sighed and took in a deep breath.

"This is going to take a while" Naruto said as he folded his hands "and it's gonna get complicated.

Over the next 2 hours Naruto explained his side of the story; how he was hated for being the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, how he was tortured and mutilated, how he survived by becoming a mercenary and how he's Kakuzu's apprentice.

Sakura told her story about what she went through in Konoha, and this particularly shocked Tsunade and Shizune. Sakura told them about how she was raped by her sensei, Asuma and her teammate, how she was mistreated and abused on her team and how she accidentally killed a Konoha jonin by accident thinking he was one of her assailants resulting in her going on the run.

Kurenai told Tsunade how she was in a relationship with Asuma and how she was appalled by what he did to Sakura; and because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time she was branded a traitor along with Anko and Sakura.

By the end of the stories Tsunade had a look of anger on her face "motherfucking motherfuckers" Tsunade said clenching her fists 'Sensei… what have you done'.

Shizune was horrified and looked at Sakura "oh my gosh" Shizune said as she got up and sat next to Sakura "you poor thing; are you ok". Sakura looked at her and began to shake.

"N-no" Sakura said and Shizune wrapped her in a hug as Sakura held onto her.

"How did it get this bad" Tsunade said "sensei… Kakashi… what the hell".

"And that's not all" Naruto said gaining her attention "on the way here we were attacked by three different groups". "One was two kunoichi from Kumo; but we hashed it out and they left" Naruto said "the second were these two assholes from an organization called the Akatsuki; we killed one but the other got away". "The last one was some old guy with white hair and Sakura's former teammate" Naruto said before lifting his shirt revealing his seal "the guy hit me with a sealing jutsu; I can't talk to the fox now".

Tsunade hearing this stood up "wait" Tsunade said as she reached into one of her pockets and pulled out a picture "was this him". Naruto took the picture and looked "he saw a younger Tsunade, Orochimaru, the third Hokage and the white haired old man.

"Yeah that's him; you know that guy" Naruto asked and Tsunade nodded.

"He's my teammate Jiraya; he's also the sensei of the fourth Hokage" Tsunade said and Naruto's anger began to flare.

"So that fucker is my bastard dad's sensei; now I have even more motivation to kill him the next time I see him" Naruto said before both Tsunade and Shizune looked at him.

"Wait Lord Fourth is your dad" Shizune asked and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah… motherfucker put the nine tails in his own kid" Naruto said "and what's worse he just used my mom as a baby maker for the village; I hate him with all my hearts".

"Wait… Minato was dating… Kushina" Tsunade said in realization "N-Naruto"; Naruto looked at Tsunade with worry.

"What" Naruto asked and Tsunade spoke.

"My grandmother and your great grandmother were sisters" Tsunade said making Naruto go wide eyed "I'm your second cousin once removed; we're family".

"No way" Naruto said his jaw dropping "i have a family member"; Tsunade nodded and walked over.

"Come here" Tsunade said as she gave Naruto a full embrace; Naruto froze for a second before giving Tsunade a hug back. The two of them hugged before breaking apart "looks like fate is real after all" she said and Naruto nodded "ok then; you didn't come for a family reunion, what are you here for".

Tayuya walked up and spoke "We're here to take you back to Lord Orochimaru" she said making Tsunade and Shizune alarmed "Lord Orochimaru was injured during the battle of Konoha; we need you to heal his arms".

"No fucking way" Tsunade said "that man is a monster through and through; why would I help him at all".

"Because you owe me" Naruto said making Tsunade look at him "you said you owe me a favor all those years ago, so I'm cashing in". Tsunade was about to talk but Naruto continued "but I also need you to help Fu and Karin" he said.

"What happened" Shizune asked and Naruto spoke.

"Fu took a lighting Jutsu to the chest as was barely alive last I saw; and Karin broke her back while fighting" Naruto said and Tsunade swallowed hard "and not to mention but one of our group died… Zabuza Momochi; the demon of the hidden mist".

Tsunade at down and took it all in she was weighing her options; on one hand she could help out her newly discovered family member or she could say no. 'Damn it; what do I do' Tsunade thought.

"If I help; what do I get" Tsunade asked and Naruto spoke.

"Orochimaru has his own payment; but if you help me I can pull some strings" Naruto said making Tsunade look at him "I can give you sanctuary in Snow country thanks to Doto and I can ask Gato if he can absolve any debt you have".

Tsunade took a deep breath "I don't know" she said and Naruto groaned.

"Gato is also planning to build a casino in snow country; I can ask for you to have a permanent room there when it's done" Naruto said sweetening the deal "no rent, free meals, probably unlimited drinks".

"Damn that's a good deal" Tsunade said her constitution wavering.

"I'll help you Naruto" Shizune said speaking up making Tsunade look at her in shock "Fu and Karin need a doctor correct"; Naruto nodded and Shizune continued. "I'm not as good as Lady Tsunade; but I can help them at the very least" Shizune said "as long as you promise to bring me back to Lady Tsunade when I'm done".

"Deal" Naruto said before looking at Tsunade "Tsunade… please help us".

Tsunade rubbed her temples before taking a deep breath "so it's either my psycho former teammate with a lot of money or my pervert scumbag teammate who tried to capture you" she said. Tsunade stood up and spoke "I like my chances with Orochimaru" she said and Naruto and the others smiled "we'll leave tomorrow".

"Alright" Naruto cheered "you two can stay here if you'd like; you can take my bed if you want". Tsunade chuckled making Naruto stop.

"Sorry no can do" Tsunade said "there's something I want from you".

Later that night

Naruto and Tsunade were lying in bed in their pajamas with Tsunade holding him from behind "this is so embarrassing" Naruto said as Tsunade cuddled with him "I'm a ninja damn it; not some little kid".

Tsunade bonked him on the head and she spoke "the last time I ever held my little brother like this was so long ago I don't even remember"; Tsunade pulled Naruto in closer to her embrace "I just want to hold someone close again; are you really going to take that away from me".

Naruto began to feel bad and spoke "no" Naruto said and Tsunade smiled as she held him closer "but this isn't going to be a regular thing". "I already have three girlfriends, one kind of a girlfriend and Hinata who I have to talk to later; last thing I need is for them to get jealous over a misunderstanding" he said and Tsunade chuckled.

"Alright, alright" Tsunade said as she held Naruto and began to fall asleep.

Naruto closed his eyes and began to drift off 'this… isn't so bad' Naruto though as he fell asleep.

The next morning; North gate of the village: With Naruto, Tsunade and the others

Tsunade stood on a hill overlooking the village she was just in; over the span of a single day the images of her sensei, Jiraya and Konoha have all been destroyed.

"Hey Tsunade" Naruto said making her look over to him "you ready to go"; Tsunade nodded.

"One second brat" Tsunade said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her old Konoha headband; Tsunade looked at the dull and battle scared plate. That symbol has caused her more heartache and misery than anything else; and now it was worthless to her. Tsunade used her finger and her super strength to cut a line through the leaf symbol before throwing the plate onto the ground.

Tsunade looked at her Naruto, Shizune and the other and had a thought 'I guess even a washed up medic like me can get a fresh start' she thought as she began to walk towards the group "lets go, I have a psycho teammate to heal". Naruto and the others all started to walk North to Oto for the final leg of their mission.

Meanwhile; to the south: With Jiraya and Sasuke

Jiraya and Sasuke walked through the south gates of Tanzaku Gai and looked around at the busy streets; Jiraya had bandages and medical tape covering his body from the fight a few days ago.

"Alright then; another town another search" Jiraya said before looking at Sasuke; Sasuke had his injured eye covered in bandages and he was looking at a water balloon he was holding in his left hand.

'Come on; come on' Sasuke thought as he focused his chakra; the balloon began to violently shake until it popped "fuck" he shouted.

"Calm down kid; you'll get the rasengan eventually" Jiraya said and Sasuke huffed "come on kid; lets look for Tsunade, my sources said she was here".

Both Jiraya and Sasuke entered the village not knowing that Tsunade had already left with Naruto and the others back to Oto.

Ok another chapter done; I hope you all enjoyed it. My brother has been having a hard time writing this story; he's not exactly the best at writing and my revising takes some work because he sucks at typing. But he's doing pretty good though in my opinion; also he got the idea for the pawn shop scene from the punisher TV series on Netflix. And to be frank I'm all down for some pedo's getting killed; guys who prey on children deserve to get fucked up. Ok if you enjoyed it please like, comment and share with your friends; and until next time bye.
