Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Sounds of a new Destiny ❯ Along came a redhead again... ( Chapter 7 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Author's Notes: Yes you can count on Ginshin's life being a living hell especially if Shinka gets a hold of him. Now I have been told that I should put surname first just because it's how they do it in Japan. It's not going to ruin the story if I keep doing it the way I am…that format is only pertinent with characters found in works like The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or Outlaws in the Marsh.
Now he won't complete the Rasengan with the elemental addition, he has to master the basic Rasengan. The Fuuton Rasen Shuriken is too powerful for Naruto to use at this point in the story.
Now just because Hinata and Hanabi are an arranged marriage don't despair, that doesn't mean he won't fall in love with them. As I recall sometimes arranged marriages result in love…and the arrangement is just a catalyst otherwise Naruto won't notice the white eyed princess.

“Okay kid lets see what you can do. The hag won't come to the village unless you master that technique…” Ginshin calmly spoke as he sat on top of a rock adjusting his sakkat to observe the training.
“So you and Shizune huh? I knew you were crazy Ginshin…but I didn't think you had the stones to sleep with someone Tsunade thinks of as a daughter.” Jiraiya was quick to make fun of Ginshin. It was simply too rich to not make fun of Ginshin's plight since Tsunade would see to it Ginshin suffered.
“Oh shut up you pervert!” Ginshin didn't need to hear this from Jiraiya of all people `damn pervert had no room to make fun of someone…' Ginshin quietly thought before smiling in a disturbing way. “We could always mention how you were involved with the hag for awhile while we're on the subject!”
“You…you wouldn't!” the Toad Sannin quickly replied, it was something he tried to avoid the fact that he was involved with Tsunade when he was younger. Yes the sad truth was Jiraiya, and Tsunade had been involved once, it really didn't last Jiraiya gave into perversion thus resulting in Tsunade leaving him.
“Then don't be breaking my balls about Shizune. Shizune-chan is cute in that special `you wouldn't suspect me' way. So keep it up pervert and I will tell the hag you want to get back together with her.” Ginshin said with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked at the white haired Sannin. That's when Naruto walked up and applied the vicious ear lock on the two.
“Hate to interrupt this edition of grown men acting like children…we have Rasengan training to attend to.” Naruto sharply scolded the two men with a disgruntled look on his face. The two teachers yelled in agony as he pulled on their ears, he wasn't in the mood for their stupidity. `Of all the teachers…I get stuck with the womanizer and the pornographer…I guess I could have had the one with a porn addiction…' Naruto calmly thought to himself as he released their ears.
“Alright, alright sheesh! You're a slave driver you know that kid?” Jiraiya complained as he stood to his feet. He grabbed Naruto by the collar of his yukata and pulled him off to the center of the clearing. “Okay brat, show me what you can do.”
Naruto quickly began to form the sphere of chakra but soon found it growing out of chakra the explosion sent him reeling as he put too much chakra into it. He had completed the first two stages of this technique early on but the shell of chakra kept eluding him. “You're using way too much chakra kid…You also need to form the shell of chakra before you really think of pouring your chakra into it…” Jiraiya calmly said as he began to easily create the sphere in question with out problem.
“Okay I will have to try that then…” Naruto stood to his feet and began to try again since it was a challenge. Challenges were this boy's thing, he couldn't stand by and let a challenge pass him up. It wasn't in his nature, to just pass up something that was too hard it wasn't what he could bring himself to do.
In the city…
“Tsunade-sama, why did you agree to this wager?” Shizune quietly asked her teacher in interest of the situation. She never understood why her teacher was such a gambler…in fact it's why Shizune had a lot of stress for a while.
“Simple…he's my grandson.” Tsunade said this with a grin on her of course Shizune looked shocked at her teacher. “I told you I was involved with Jiraiya once…I didn't tell you that we had a son…” Tsunade hanged her head in shame since she had no idea why she ever got involved with Jiraiya.
“You mean…Arashi is your son…and that mouthy little boy…is his son?” Shizune's eye twitched, the sheer mechanics of the thought of Jiraiya and Tsunade being an item ever was mind boggling. Shizune pulled on her hair some becoming frazzled at the idea of Tsunade and Jiraiya doing that!
“Shizune…stop worrying…it can't be good for the baby.” Tsunade quickly commented to her frazzled assistant. She then chuckled softly at the situation if her son Arashi was any indication this boy despite his loudness was a gifted ninja. Perhaps this would be reason for her to return to the leaf village…after all the bastards on the council would have to answer for why Naruto left the village and came under Orochimaru's influence in the first place.
“And if anyone should be disturbed by the fact I was involved with Jiraiya it should be me…but of course I met your uncle way after me and the pervert split…and you know the rest of the story. And in my defense! Jiraiya was quite dashing when we were younger!” Tsunade's eye twitched, she couldn't believe that she was explaining herself to her student. She didn't have to explain herself it was her life after all, it wasn't Shizune's business.
Back in the field…
“Geeze you're fickle Forehead girl! You don't like Naruto anymore just because of a small thing like a demon being sealed inside of him.” Ino began to berate her friend she was getting quite irritated with Sakura's avoidance of Naruto.
“How is the Kyuubi, a monstrous demon, being sealed inside of him, a small thing!?” Sakura replied as she looked at Ino in shock that Ino wasn't frightened. In all honesty it scared her that Naruto had a powerful demon sealed inside of him.
“Maybe it scares you just because you swoon over anyone you find cool. I'm not scared of the fact forehead because…Naruto is Naruto…that's that!” Ino then walked away from Sakura and sat down watching Naruto's training.
“Good to see you see past the sealed demon, Blondie…you showed courage and conviction…you really care about the knuckle head don't you?” Ginshin quietly inquired the young girl he knew the signs of when a girl was fond of someone. His assumption was clearly brought to the forefront when she went red in the face Ginshin chuckled softly and adjusted his sakkat. “Hope you get over that embarrassment Ino…I told him he should take you out on a date when the mission is over.”
Ino's face turned an even more noticeable shade of red it was oh so evident that the flower girl was crazy about Naruto. Ginshin laughed at this situation since it was one of those things you get a kick out of when you're older.
“It's not that funny Ginshin-sensei!!” Ino shouted out flustered before looking off to the side. This of course struck a chord with the pink haired Kunoichi, she was perhaps being to judgmental when it came to Naruto. Sakura simply sat down under a tree where she began to think about her actions maybe she was taking an interest in Naruto for superficial reasons.
The days pass and the day comes…
“Okay you little brat let's see what you can do!” Tsunade yelled out, as she walked into the training area. Naruto nodded and just as he began to work on forming the Rasengan a large snake appeared and Naruto's eyes grew into a glare when he saw it was Orochimaru standing atop the serpent.
“Why Tsunade…I'm shocked…I thought we had an agreement…” the sickening voice of Orochimaru called out as the snake moved towards the group. Tsunade simply stood to her feet she glared icily at the snake.
“No, I never agreed to help you…I said I would think about it…and I decided to make a wager with my grandson here.” Tsunade replied, the tone in her voice was anything but friendly in fact it was a very hostile tone. “That's right Naruto I'm your grandmother…just don't call me granny because I'm not that old!”
“Hey what is Kabuto-san doing up there with Orochimaru…” Sakura calmly asked as she pointed towards Kabuto. She hadn't been informed that Kabuto was in fact a spy from Otogakure.
“He may have told you he was a Genin of the leaf…but it was a lie…that man is probably as strong as Ginshin-sensei…isn't that right Kabuto-sensei…” Naruto's face twisted in disgust when he referred to Kabuto as sensei, the very thought sickened him. Naruto growled in the depths of his throat, as Kabuto landed in front of the group.
“Oh…what a shame…it seems the charade is over…it's sad that you have turned against us…Naruto-kun…and we brought someone who's been wanting to see you. Isn't that right Tayuya-chan…?” Kabuto said with a sickeningly sweet tone, as the red haired girl stepped from behind him. This would definitely by them time, it was after all a known fact that Naruto was very fond of Tayuya and would never do anything to hurt her.
“Why did you do this Naruto…how could you betray Otogakure and me…” the girl glared angrily at Naruto. She then dug her heels into the ground and rushed forward, Naruto pivoted and moved out of the way. “DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING HIDE BEHIND A DAMN MASK!”
Orochimaru landed to the ground and sent his snake back his tongue slithered out of his mouth and licked across his lips with glee. Tsunade removed her coat and cracked her knuckles as she watched her former comrades watching each other cautiously. “There are no bystander's in this fight!” Kabuto shouted as he rushed straight for Shizune before he could get in striking distance Ginshin appeared in flash.
“Kinzokuton: Amatsu Tonbogiri!!” the womanizer materialized a tonbogiri from his body wincing some as he pulled it from his body. He then spun the spear quickly and pointed it forward, it wasn't on par with Shirotoku's version but it got the job done. “Now…you weren't planning to attack my lady were ya? Because….” Ginshin took his hat off and set it on Shizune's head before turning to face Kabuto. “Hold onto my hat for me baby” Ginshin winked at Shizune before charging forward and thrusting the spear at Kabuto a few times to get some space between Kabuto and Shizune.
“Interesting how it has come down to this…Naruto-kun…” the red haired girl calmly said as she stood across from the blonde. Her usually displeased face showing more displeasure with the situation. Naruto pulled the masks off the side of his head and dropped the demon mask to the ground before tossing the fox mask towards Ino.
“No more hiding behind masks…Tayuya-chan…” Naruto's face became darker and more brooding as he rushed forward and threw a punch at Tayuya, the girl dodged the punch and the two began to enter into a serious exchange of taijutsu. “But I won't allow you to continue serving Orochimaru…I will take you back with me even if I have to break every bone in your body!”
“Kabuto! It is time…we shall summon my most powerful Snake…it seems we cannot convince Tsunade to join us. So she must be destroyed.” Orochimaru spoke with a glare on his face, there was little he could do in his condition.
“Hai Orochimaru-sama!” Kabuto said as he leaped back and proceeded to help Orochimaru in summoning Manda, this was alleviated by the fact the Snake Sannin kept the contract on his arms.
“Things might get dicey around here…Ino and Sakura...you are charged with protecting Shizune no matter what…keep out of range of this fight…the Sannin are at least Kage level ninja so be sure to keep her safe you got that?” Ginshin was very grim and serious about the situation, and the two young kunoichi nodded their heads. “Ino don't forget Naruto's mask...he chucked it over to you to keep safe…”
Once Manda had appeared once the smoke cleared he shifted his eyes upward to look at Orochimaru sitting atop his head and glared angrily. “Orochimaru you have failed to present the one hundred sacrifices and you dare summon me?!”
“Manda-sama, please understand…” Kabuto pleaded with the snake boss, but it was pointless since he didn't have the power that Manda respected.
“You will be silent!” The snake roared out, while the great snake was busy complaining Jiraiya took his chance and summoned Gamabunta to help in the upcoming fight. When the smoke cleared and Gamabunta was present, he took a drag from his pipe. The Boss Snake Manda hissed out in disgust at the sight of his mortal enemy the Toad Boss Gamabunta.
“Kabuto keep Tsunade busy…Manda…I shall offer you two hundred sacrifices next time I summon you…” Orochimaru rasped out silently, Kabuto nodded and leaped into the air and vanished. On the ground was a different story as Tayuya and Naruto were deadlocked when it came to the taijutsu both simply dodged the blows thrown.
“No more playing Naruto! But tell me…why would you fight me Naruto?” Tayuya spat at Naruto as she pulled out her flute and summoned forth three ogre like demons. She then began to play the flute using her technique Mateki: Genbuso Kyoku the three demons rushed forward and began to drive Naruto back.
“Couldn't have said any better myself Tayuya-chan! Kuchiyose no Jutsu!” Naruto replied with a smirk on his face, as the smoke cleared the Mighty King Enma was standing right beside Naruto. “Tayuya…meet my friend Enma…sadly your demons are about to go bye bye.” Naruto said with a playful grin on his face nodding to Enma who transformed into his staff form.
Orochimaru caught the sight of this out of the corner of his serpentine eyes and frowned in disgust, this wasn't good in the least. `So that old fool taught Naruto how to summon that ape…was he planning to simply be a martyr?!' the Snake Sannin's thoughts were clouded with doubt at this revelation that Naruto could summon the Ape King.
Meanwhile Kabuto was keeping Tsunade busy…or rather he was trying to…the Slug Princess was chucking and hurling large rocks towards Kabuto. That's when Kabuto used his ace up the sleeve, and he stabbed his hand with his kunai and flung his blood at Tsunade. Tsunade froze and fell to her knees his ace up the sleeve was Tsunade's hemophobia. “That's right Tsunade…I know about your fear of blood…after all the death of your lover and little brother is what caused it…and to think I looked up to you! You're a joke!”
Naruto growled swung Enma's staff form left, right, and thrust it forward knocking each demon down. He rushed forward and an arm came out of the staff and grabbed Tayuya's collar and brought her down to the ground. He walked forward and looked at her softly before kneeling beside her. “Now listen Tayuya…I care about you…and as such…I won't allow you to return to Otogakure...”
“Oh shut the fuck up…you're just a selfish little shit!” the volatile girl spat back at Naruto, she then tried to push Naruto away but it was no good Naruto over powered her. Naruto pulled out a small pill and placed it in her mouth before she could spit it out he placed his lips against hers and kissed her to force her to swallow the pill. The pill in question was a tranquilizer to knock her out, the red head had no choice but to swallow the pill.
“Sorry Tayuya-chan…but you will have to come back to Konoha with us…you're not safe with that Snake…Enma get Tayuya to safety…I have an old hag to save” Naruto hefted the conscious Tayuya up and handed her over to Enma.
“Right Naruto-sama…” the monkey king took the girl into his arms and bounded off, Naruto then threw a Kunai forward to get Kabuto's attention. The silver haired assistant to Orochimaru quickly caught the kunai between his fingers and started to bob and weave as Naruto unleashed a torrent of taijutsu strikes.
“Try and be more serious Naruto!” Kabuto shouted unaware that his foot had been grasped causing him to be pulled partially underground. Kabuto jumped back as the real Naruto leaped out of the ground and punched him across the face. “Hey old hag…I'm going to win that bet right now…” Naruto called out as he formed the Rasengan in his hand and rushed forward.
Kabuto quickly deflected the attacked and slashed at Naruto only to find it was a clone, and coming straight for him were two more clones, well one was Naruto. “You see you arrogant prick…you taught me a little too well...” Naruto smirked as his clone raised it's hand up and got the kunai wedged into it's hand giving him the chance to slam the complete Rasengan right into Kabuto's abdomen. The sphere began to bore away at Kabuto as it sent him reeling back into a large rock.
“See I told you…I could master it…” Naruto calmly said with a sly grin on his face, just before he blacked out. The Shosen Jutsu of Kabuto had managed to strike Naruto fatally causing him to fall over. This was enough to snap Tsunade out of her fear of blood, seeing her grandson fight so bravely to save her.
“Hahahaha…you misjudged me Naruto-kun….” Kabuto calmly said as he used In'yu Shometsu to regenerate the wounds but ironically this took most of his chakra to accomplish and left him strained and unable to fight anymore.
“Your downfall was thinking that someone descended from the Shodai Hokage would lose to you.” Tsunade calmly spoke as she began to quickly check the damage done to Naruto, she then began to use her medical ninjutsu expertise to repair the damage. When she laid her head down and heard a regular heart beat she sighed with relief. She took her pendant off and placed it around Naruto's neck and smiled, she had reason to return to Konoha. One reason would be to get some answers out of the Elders, such as to why Naruto had ended up in the clutches of a nuke-nin.
“I'll take the cub from her Tsunade-sama…” Ginshin calmly said as he lifted Naruto up, and carried him to safety to allow Tsunade to aid in the fight against Manda, and Orochimaru. When Ginshin was out of the area Tsunade gathered up her Chakra and used her summoning technique and called forth Katsuyu. Manda's tail lashed out and knocked Gamabunta's knife out of his hand. This was Tsunade's advantage as she jumped into the air and used her expert chakra control to grab hold of the knife and bring it downward piercing the blade through Manda's muzzle.
This effectively brought an end to the fight as Manda couldn't move any longer, the snake glared at Orochimaru. “The next time you summon me I shall devour you.” the snake angrily said as he struggled against the blade that had him stuck to the ground.
“You win this round…next time it is I who shall destroy you! I will have to use a different technique to get my arms back it seems…you can keep the girl she is a failure to me…her love for Naruto-kun caused her to hold back…such weakness isn't needed in my plans!” Orochimaru spoke with disgust in his voice the battle hadn't gone as he had hoped, that's when he and Kabuto took their leave of the scene, and four summoned creatures vanished into smoke.
The next day…
Naruto woke up to find himself lightly bandaged from the situation, then looked down to see the pendant around his neck. He now knew he won the bet he had made with Tsunade he tried to sit up but was forced back down by Tsunade. “You need your rest you little runt. You could have died yesterday…so you get your rest.” Tsunade calmly said as she held Naruto down with just her pinky.
“I'm perfectly fine Baachan!!” Naruto replied as he struggled to sit up, but it was no use as she used another finger to hold him down. Naruto stopped his struggling when she leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. “Grow up to be a good man…” The Slug Princess quietly said, while under her breath saying `And a great Hokage…'.
“Funny you should call me Baachan since…I am you're grand mother.” Tsunade swiftly added, this left Naruto looking shocked. Naruto then recalled her referring to him as her grandson, but still the idea that he had family was news to him. “And that pervert over there is your grandfather…hopefully him and Ginshin haven't done too much damage to you because you need a positive influence in your life…once you're completely recovered we will leave for the village…” Tsunade smiled and ruffled Naruto's hair before releasing her restraint on him.
“Now you're absolutely one hundred percent sure I'm the father?” Ginshin was of course making sure he wasn't going to be getting killed for someone else's mistake. That's when Shizune grabbed him by the ear and twisted it causing him to howl with pain.
“Yes I'm sure Gin-kun. How? Because you are the only man I have ever slept with!” Shizune was showing the signs of pregnancy the normally sweet and docile nature was momentarily replaced with something that would make Anko, and Shinka cringe with fear. Ginshin nodded his head in fear of his deceptively cute girlfriend he was of course frightened by this change in her personality. “And once we get to the village we are getting stuff we will need for our child. Do I make myself clear!?”
“Yes dearest…could you let go of my ear now?” Ginshin winced some from the powerful earlock that was keeping him immobilized. There was nothing scarier than a pregnant woman this of course got Ginshin afraid of what might occur if Shinka or Anko got pregnant. They're normally not the calmest of women he even has it in his schedule to avoid them like the plague when they have their time of the month.
“Jiraiya…is the girl still being uncooperative?” Tsunade asked the pervert quietly as she left where Naruto was resting. Jiraiya nodded softly his face somewhat red from the profuse language the girl was using.
“Man has she got a horrible conversational skills can't believe the boy cares about her…she could make a sailor blush!” Jiraiya replied, it was true Tayuya had the poorest people skills her profuse use of cursing wasn't helping prove she was a good person.
“Let me talk to her…I think I can convince her to come with us…but…” Naruto began as he walked out of his room he wasn't much for rest since he always had plenty of energy. He rubbed the back of his head quietly he was dreading the idea of talking to Tayuya, especially if she had her flute with her. “…You did take her flute away right?” the blonde finished since he didn't need head trauma. “Yes, but why does that matter Naruto?” Jiraiya calmly asked since it seemed to be weird to ask about the girl's choice weapon.
“I'm going to talk to her now...if you hear the sounds of me being cracked over the head don't worry…” Naruto then took a deep breath before walking into the room, this was going to be a task all its own. “Hello Tayuya…” he knew when the girl gave him a glare that she wasn't in the mood to talk to him.
“What the fuck do you want?! I thought you hated that village now you're siding with them?” the red head quickly began to question Naruto. He tried to answer her and was abruptly slapped the red haired girl looked away and gripped the covers of the bed tightly in her hands. She was holding back her desire to cry as she had been reunited with the blonde idiot, due to the nature of who she is. “You think I don't know that Orochimaru isn't trustworthy? You really think I'm some stupid bitch or something? I could never quite trust Orochimaru…but I did trust you.”
“Tayuya-chan…?” the boy asked calmly having not expected her to say something like that. He then went with his instincts and hugged her, he could only imagine that the girl was quite lonely with out him to hit over the head. `Oh shit…how am I going to tell her about the fact I'm engaged? She'll fucking kill me! And not to mention she will castrate me over Ino…' Naruto sighed softly as he was troubled with the thoughts of what Tayuya would do to him.
Tayuya grabbed Naruto by the ear and twisted it, and she shot him a menacing look. Naruto's eyes widened in fear of the red head, he then yelped in pain knowing she would let him have it. Crack! Her fist came crashing down on top of his head, and Naruto yelped once more. “If you ever disappear on me like that again, I will twist something else.”
Naruto gulped, he was a dead, dead, really dead boy, he caught the gist of what Tayuya meant and it caused a stinging in his nethers at the thought of it. It was a horrible thought that Tayuya would do that to him. “By the way I know about you're blonde girlfriend…” after the red head said this Naruto gulped again, he was a dead man.
“I guess now would be a bad time to mention I'm also engaged to two girls too…” Naruto timidly spoke, that's when he saw blood veins popping out of her forehead. Naruto's face became pale as the girl stood to her feet and cracked her knuckles before hurling Naruto through the door. “I'll take that as a yes…” now Naruto may have been somewhat of a genius but Ginshin hadn't taught him about the temperament of redheads.
“Kid…watch out of those redheads…they'll fucking kill you!” Ginshin commented as he helped Naruto up. Fortunately Tsunade grabbed a lunging Tayuya who was about to kill Naruto. “You're lucky your grandma is the strongest old woman in the world, she saved you from a psychopathic redhead.”
“Keep it up you slimy womanizer and I won't save you from your psychopathic redhead.” Tsunade spoke icily as she shot Ginshin a frightening glare, before she looked at the angry red head. “And you were intending to do what to my grandson?”
“THE MOTHERFUCKER HUGGED ME THEN TOLD ME HE WAS ENGAGED!!! WOMANIZER!!!” The infamous potty mouth of Tayuya spat out as she tried to kick Naruto who was out of reach. Tsunade's eyes twitched involuntarily when she turned her attention to Ginshin.
“Don't look at me like that Tsunade-sama! You know I would never tell Naruto to get married because…” Ginshin began as he raised his hands up in defense, obviously afraid the Slug Princess.
“Because it's the worst thing any sane man can do right?” Tsunade finished the sentence that the womanizer had began, she knew how to take the wind out of his sails. The slug princess smirked darkly as she cleared her throat. “Ginshin…once I become Hokage you will have to…”
And at the moment a long `No' was heard all the way in Wave Country, and of course two particular women, one in Suna, and another in Kumo had heard the loud scream and knew who it was.
A week later…
“Note to self…pregnant women travel much slower then regular women.” Ginshin commented as they neared the gates of Konoha, the only earned him an ear twist from Shizune. And he immediately howled out in pain, “In addition…they become extremely erratic and violent with out provocation!!”
“Ginshin, that is no way to talk about your fiancé. Who I remind you is carrying your child!” the normally sweet Shizune had steadily became more hormonal and normally it was Ginshin who got punished for it.
“Stop avoiding the subject by talking to the slut or the bitch with the big forehead and answer me Naruto-kun!” Tayuya was being as foul mouthed as ever trying to get answers from Naruto. She ignored the glares from the two girls and grabbed Naruto by the collar of his yukata pulling him over to look at her.
“Well y'see Tayuya-chan…there is this crazy law in Konoha that says if a clan is dying out that the last of the family has to well…” Naruto tried to look away but the red haired girl pulled him back to look at her. The steely cold gaze from her dark eyes sent chills down his spine. “Get married…to…numerous girls…IT'S THE LAW!!” Naruto winced expecting Tayuya to strike him again.
“The law…? THE LAW?! SINCE WHEN DO YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE LAW!?” Tayuya began to shake Naruto violently until Tsunade pulled her away from Naruto and sighed heavily. This whole trip had to have aged her twenty years, mostly the getting Tayuya to stop throttling Naruto.
“Stop it!! If you like him so much Tayuya you just have to share him…I can't believe I'm saying this. But honestly its not necessary to try and kill him…unless you love him.” Tsunade smirked when she saw the redheaded girl turn bright red from the suggestion that she loved Naruto. It was true but Tayuya had trouble admitting it. “You will have to ugh, share Naruto if you really care about him.”
Tayuya growled at the thought, `He is supposed to be mine…and knowing that long haired bitch Kin she's been making passes at Naruto!' was the first thought that came to Tayuya's mind.
Once inside the village…
“Welcome back Naruto-kun!” a well mannered girl called out as she ran up and hugged Naruto. Naruto scratched his cheek having trouble recognizing the person hugging him. But when he got a good look at her face he clearly could tell it was Haku…only just a touch more girly, and wearing a kimono.
“H-Hello H-Haku-chan” Naruto stuttered out as he looked at the very feminine Haku, apparently while they were away the two girls got a make over since behind her was Kin, who was sporting a new outfit as well. Kin was wearing an outfit similar to Shinka's which was frightening. Not to mention somewhat shorter hair, which may have been a good thing since her hair was way too long, although she still had the girly ribbon in her hair.
“SHINKA, AMEKO!! Ju have some `splainin' to do!” Ginshin called out just before a kunai hit the ground in front of him, reminding him he has some explaining to do as well. “You guys may want to step back…the fire mistress is coming in fast…” the group stepped out of the way just in time as a red haired kunoichi rushed in and punched Ginshin right in the bread basket.
“I KNEW IT YOU FILTHY SLIMEBALL!! You got Shizune pregnant before me!!!” Shinka growled and punched Ginshin on top of the head. She then began to shake the womanizer of Konoha violently. This earned a grin from Tayuya since she does the same thing to Naruto.
“Remember Shinka…you promised you were going to work on this...after all you cannot have the Gin-kun…to yourself! Can you tell the stars to not be so beautiful? Can you know the mighty ocean? Such is the Gin-kun!” Ameko cheerfully commented although it earned her some odd looks that simply said `what are you smoking' because it was possibly the oddest thing they ever heard.
“You're right…welcome back Gin-kun…I was worried about you.” the fire mistress softly said as she pulled Ginshin into a hug. Of course the womanizer was in shock since Shinka not trying to murder him was unusual. “Although, to be honest I am pissed off that you got one of your other girlfriends knocked up!”
“What the fuck happened to you trying to fucking murder him!?” Tayuya shouted almost outraged since she thought it was a good way to show how much you care about someone. She felt something simpatico with the fire mistress it was like someone she could identify with.
“Shinka has trouble expressing how she feels for Ginshin so she pummels him because she thinks you hurt those that you love.” Ameko began as she looked at the younger redhead, `Great…another time bomb…I bet she hits Naruto to show how she loves him' the water mistress said under her breath. “I've been coaching her in using non violent means to show her concern for Ginshin…and it seems to be working.” the water mistress finished with a smile on her face.
“So…hitting Naruto…isn't the right thing to do?” Tayuya was confused by the concept of not bludgeoning Naruto. This was just too hard for her to understand, its how she liked to show her affection. She did bludgeoning, throttling, and violently shaking. Hugging and vocalizing her feelings weren't her thing.
“No you shouldn't…I know they say you always hurt the ones you love…but they don't mean it literally!” Ameko commented calmly, but she could tell that teaching Tayuya how to express her feelings in other manners would be trying. Ameko beamed happily as she could give Tayuya a make over, this of course caused a large drop of sweat to appear on Ginshin's head.
“Okay I'm going to go speak to the council…Ginshin you get the joys of explaining to your girlfriends why Shizune is pregnant” Tsunade said almost sinisterly as she walked off. Of course she was cracking her knuckles since she was about to give those old fools a piece of her mind.
An hour later…
“We're glad you have decided to become the Hokage…” Danzou began before he was silenced by a glare from Tsunade. The others on the council of elders became petrified in fear of the slug princess.
“Oh really? Then you won't have any problem explaining why you made my grandson suffer so much that he fell into the clutches of a criminal?” she raised an eyebrow as the three elders froze, they had no idea that Tsunade had been doing her research.
“And what do you think you can do about it? That is not child, it's a demon! We couldn't very well allow him to defile the Uzumaki Clan compound-” Homura tried to argue until he was silenced by Tsunade cracking her knuckles.
“Let me ask you…if you were my son Arashi…would you willingly put the demon inside someone else's child? No…you wouldn't because I checked the hospital records before coming here...and there were other children born that night.” Tsunade looked at the elders with a dark look in her eyes she was restraining herself as best she could.
“What are you thinking…” Danzou responded the other two elders didn't like where this was going. The tone in Tsunade's voice suggested their days of abusing their power were coming to a close.
“I just found that there was something written in the villages laws that states if the elders intentionally make the life of one villager harsher than others. They may be stripped of their power and effectively replaced by a new council of elders. Jiraiya's little information network has been able to acquire information on you especially Danzou…your little delusions of a military state will never be…” Tsunade smirked as she saw the elders become petrified with fear. That's when the components of the new council entered the room, one of which was Ginshin Hanzo. “You see the village is only as effective as those that govern it…I as the Hokage…and a new council not blinded by their rank…”
“What Tsunade is saying your days of oppression and favoritism of the damn Uchiha's are over.” Ginshin smirked as he leaned against the door way. Shortly thereafter members of ANBU entered the room, and surrounded the three elders.
“Danzou, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane. You are all here by placed under arrest please come with us.” one of the ANBU calmly said as they escorted the former elders out of the room.
“You won't get away with this Tsunade!” Danzou called out as he was escorted away by the ANBU. Tsunade didn't take the threat all too seriously since there was little the corrupt fools could do at this point.
“Tsunade-sama we shall have your coronation tomorrow…” Hiashi Hyuuga calmly spoke as he walked into the room this was indeed a time of changes for the little village. The council of elders being replaced by a new generation that isn't so blind.
“Good…I think the village needs to know of the change of the council. I will not stand for corruption in this village.” Tsunade spoke softly as she looked at the new council made up of, the most prominent clans in the village, the Hyuuga, Nara, Akimichi, Inuzuka, Aburame, Sarutobi and Yamanaka clans. Ginshin was not part of the council he was simply Tsunade's intermediary between herself and the council. “I don't want Naruto to get any preferential treatment either just because he's my grandson. I do not think he would enjoy anything being handed over to him...”
The Next day…
“I would like for you all to meet the Godaime Hokage...” Hiashi began as he stood at the podium. The village was gathered in anticipation to see who would replace Sarutobi, they were watching the area quietly as Hiashi stepped away from the podium and Tsunade stepped to the podium wearing the hat of the Hokage.
“I want you all to know that you are all my precious people. And I will do anything to protect you all. I learned something from a special young man recently that those with power should use it to help others.” Tsunade spoke softly to the awestruck crowd, as they looked at her in admiration. “And those that abuse their power to make certain people suffer because of circumstances they cannot control are not worth the power they control. This is exactly why the old council of elders have been stripped of their power. With a new council made up of the more prominent clans of the village. Now a second matter of business, the favoritism towards the remaining Uchiha shall be put to a stop. No clan is greater than the others I will not stand for any favoritism even towards my grandson Naruto. People will all have to work for what they deserve.”
The villagers and shinobi all nodded their heads, the villagers knew that they would have to be more cautious with their spite for the Jinchuuriki whom they all wished dead. He was the blood of the Hokage, but they didn't know that the boy could easily kill them all he didn't need any protection.
“I want you all to know that my office is always open if you have a problem come to me.” Tsunade then lifted off her hat and beamed a smile down on all the villagers and shinobi of the quaint little village, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. `It would seem the Uzumaki Clan is more of a Dynasty, I shall continue the duties of my grandfather, grand uncle, sensei, and my son. This Village has to show its strength.' Tsunade smiled as she looked at the Hokage monument.
A day later…
“YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THERE WAS SO MUCH PAPER WORK!!!” Tsunade cringed at the pile of paper work in front of her. Ginshin and Shizune sighed exasperatedly and hung their heads, “COME ON NARUTO!! I'm showing you the clan compound” the slug princess grabbed Naruto by the arm and ran out of her office finding an excuse to get out of the paper work.
”TSUNADE-SAMA!!” Shizune called out as she grabbed Ginshin following after her teacher, who was finding any excuse to get out of work. Ginshin groaned as he was being drug away by Shizune who he felt was possibly the cutest fiancé in the world. It was Tsunade's prerogative to make Ginshin take responsibility and make sure he stopped at seven girlfriends, for once she found the other two he would have to marry them too.
A quaint little village where shinobi are born, raised, and die, this was the beginning of a new tale of shinobi. And that would begin a tale of epic proportions, for on her desk was the paper work to arrange the next Chuunin Exams, perhaps this time they could go through with out much trouble this time around, no attacks since the sound were no longer allies. For now the village resumed what could be considered normal by a slim margin.
Author's Notes: There we go Tsunade Arc is over time for some filler chapters to develop more animosity between Naruto and Sasuke. Now for the moment, Sakura won't be into Naruto completely, neither will Tenten. The only girls that Naruto will be involved with currently are Haku, Kin, Tayuya, Ino, and of course Hinata. The rest of the girls will come around to Naruto later, but I intend for another Chuunin exam to happen, and a new plot to rise up.
I don't think Naruto will have the Mokuton technique he has enough power as is, he will have an affinity with the five types, he has a cursed seal which has something that will be a surprise, and he has an army of girlfriends. The Sasuke retrieval arc isn't going to happen for some time but there will be more unique stuff happening. And we haven't heard the last of Danzou there will be something involving the elders later.
Plot developments ahead! Political arrangements, and what not ahead, tell me what you would like to see in the future of this fic because I like some ideas you guys give me. Oh yeah Naruto won't have super strength, that's just something Tsunade does with her great chakra control I don't see this Naruto being a power type more of a specialist in Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu.
