Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi of Minerva

Chapter 6: Fanning the Whirlpool’s Flames

Within the Leaf Village, Minato is by the hospital bedside of his wife, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, current Daimyo of the rebuilt Whirlpool, after she got attacked by two people in which they impaled a knife with a poison coated blade into her shoulder. With him are his son, Naruto, Tsunade, and her assistant, Shizune, as they look over the bedridden and sleeping Kushina, who is recovering from the wound and poisoning.

Shizune says, “It was a good thing that Lady Tsunade and I managed to suck the poison out of her.”

Tsunade says, “Based on what we were told, we wouldn’t have had the time to get the antidote into her.”

Naruto tells Minato, “Don’t worry, dad. She is a tough woman.”

Minato says, with a nod, “I know son. She is an Uzumaki and they are tough to kill.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Believe it, dad.”

Minato asks, with a serious tone, “And do you know who did this to her?”

Tsunade snaps her fingers, an ANBU displays the knife with the hilt gone and showing the metal handle with the two crests on it, and Tsunade says, “This was the knife used on her, Minato. And it has this crest on it.”

Minato gasps at the Uchiha crest and he says, “I thought that they were gone other than Mikoto’s two sons!”

Tsunade says, “So did we, Minato.”

Shizune says, “We checked over the graves and we found that half of the bodies of the Uchiha clan members slain on THAT day are missing.”

Tsunade says, “Especially Fugaku’s and Mikoto’s corpses.”

Minato says, with a serious tone, “Very good blood clones.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it, dad.”

Tsunade says, “I should have known that if Fugaku suspected his own son, he would prepare for the worst. He is an arrogant asshole, but far from a fool.”

Minato says, with a nod, “No kidding, Tsunade.”

Shizune asks, “But what’s that other crest?”

Naruto says, “The insignia of the kingdom of Gupta. It is small land, not even a kingdom, but ten years ago, it rose to become one of the dominate military powers in the Land of Gor. The only one that rivals it is my empire.”

Minato says, “They pride themselves on military strength and power. Should have known that it was Uchiha led.”

Shizune asks, “But is their plan for simple revenge?”

Tsunade says, “I think there is more to it than that. Fugaku wants payback for the Leaf turning his one son against the clan and killing the other, but there is more to his plans than just simple revenge. And he has targeted Kushina, the leader of Whirlpool, and the main reason why the Leaf Village is getting back on its feet in the years after Naruto was ‘forced out’ of the Leaf Village which the stupidity of the now former civilian council among others cost us a lot of allies and such. If Kushina suffered a ‘horrible fate’ here in our village, there are going to be plenty of doubts including with the Fire Daimyo if the village is still ‘salvageable’ since questions about our security despite us getting back from our recession and Naruto basically us conquering us without a fight.”

Minato says, with a nod, “That’s a good point, Tsunade. However, because of that, they will want to target Whirlpool and if Whirlpool gets weaker, the Leaf will get weaker in turn due to the fact that they are depending on Whirlpool for many things including the ‘good faith’ to get the needed money to recover.”

Just then Karin enters the room and she says, “And they must might get it.”

Everyone looks at Karin and Minato asks, “What do you mean Karin?”

Karin says, “I’ve gotten intelligence that Gupta has been corresponding to the merchants of Avion.”

Minato says, with a serious tone, “The empire’s intelligence network has also been getting similar intelligence and Avion is an important trading partner for Whirlpool in which the important jewels and metals needed to Whirlpool’s prosperity. In fact, it allows Anatolia to send resources to Whirlpool safely and space-time bridge that we have made is only allowed to allow people, free and ‘not free’, to travel due to the treaty with Hot Water nation and the realm on Gor where it is.”

Shizune asks, “Why didn’t you build it in the empire?”

Naruto says, “We didn’t want to risk it getting ‘high-jacked’ and having an invasion in our backyard.”

Tsunade says, with a nod, “That’s a good point, Naruto.”

Karin says, “Basically, Avion is the best way for Naruto’s empire to send goods to Whirlpool and trade with the rest of the Elemental Countries. That route is actually the best route of them all.”

Tsunade says, “We never knew about such a route and Jiraiya and I got there.”

Naruto says, “It is a miracle that you managed to survive the way there and get back. Remember what happened to Hinata when Via and her pirates tried for the ‘direct route’? The ‘direct routes’ are among the most dangerous with those everlasting storms and only the best of the best can negative through the storms and other hazard to get to Gor through the ‘direct routes’.”

Minato says, “Bad news is that Via and the Werewolves are those ‘best of the best’.”

Karin says, “The regular merchants have to go through the ‘roundabout route’ via Avion in which they go to the rest of the Elemental Countries from there. If Avion’s trade is cut off, Whirlpool would suffer significant damage to their economy. Sure, they have gotten good trade routes via Wave and Spring, but the gems and metals among other ‘items’ that are rare here in the Elemental Countries come from Gor.”

Tsunade says, “And if Whirlpool’s economy goes down, the Leaf is going down due to the fact that we are at the ‘bottom of the barrel’ right now.”

Naruto says, “As you know, I could care less about much of the village, but since Mito Uzumaki married First Hokage-sama, she believed in his ‘Will of Fire’ which is much like the way of ninshu of Old Man Hagoromo. I believe in second chances, but only on my terms and my terms only in which the Leaf had to learn humility and the fact now is that it is ‘my way or bye-bye Leaf Village’. Plus, there are also some good people that live here and despite them hating what the Leaf had become before I came around, it was still their home and I don’t blame them for not abandoning it. Those are the only reasons that I didn’t burn this place down to the ground.”

Minato says, with a nod, “And Kushina-chan and I let them know it, son. They also known that if you decided to destroy this village, we would have helped you since they betrayed us as much as they did you and the Uzumaki clan. They screamed out about Kurama ‘influencing’ us, but they got the message that it was their own damn fault.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it, dad.”

Minato says, “Anyway, with Gupta, since we know that it must be ‘Uchiha run’ and Fugaku is behind this, I already know how to deal with it.”

Shizune asks, “Really, Fourth-I mean Minato-sama?” Soon enough, Minato, Tsunade, Naruto, and Shizune are discussing Minato’s plan as Hinata, wearing her old clothing before her ‘enslavement’ to Naruto (A/N: Think Hinata’s Shippuden outfit before Fourth Great Ninja War.), comes around and watches from the doorway.

When they were done with the discussion, Tsunade tells Minato, “That’s a risky plan.”

Naruto says, with a sly grin, “Well, I like it.”

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “You would gaki.”

Minato says, “I think that it is our best bet to deal with Gupta and the Uchiha.”

Shizune says, “You are going to need to organize plans and Naruto is going to have put on his best act.”

Naruto says, with a sly grin, “I’m a very good actor, Shizune, believe it.”

Tsunade says, “Then there is Fugaku, Sasuke’s and Itachi’s father. If it is him, he won’t let it go. Mikoto might be another story, but we aren’t sure if she is still alive or Fugaku just took her body away to be buried somewhere else.”

Minato says, “We’ll work on the assumption that she is dead or if she is alive, she doesn’t know about this. Mikoto is the best friend of Kushina and she would have never allowed this.”

Shizune says, “And based on Itachi’s secret reports before he took down the clan, his mother never liked the coup in the first place, but she stayed silent because she loved her family despite the foolishness that she felt her husband was doing.”

Minato says, with a sigh, “I guess that when Third Hokage-sama said that when Second Hokage-sama told him that an Uchiha feels love more than anyone else in the world, I don’t think that Second Hokage-sama was wrong.”

Naruto says, shaking his head, “Nope, dad. It is just that it is their ‘Curse of Hatred’ that turns that great love when ‘shattered’ in one form or another into an even greater hatred. For Sasuke-teme’s dad, it was great love for his family and clan that created a great hatred for the Leaf Village itself.”

Tsunade says, “If he loved his family so much, I can’t help to wonder why he left Sasuke here.”

Minato says, “Out of love for Itachi despite what he did. They understood why he did what he did, Tsunade. Fugaku also believed in Sasuke to establish ‘Uchiha supremacy’ back in the Leaf once more.”

Naruto says, “Well, that plan is shattered but good, believe it.”

Tsunade says, “And now, since Sasuke is dead, Fugaku is consumed by hatred for us, again. He wants revenge for the death of Sasuke.” Hinata mentally gasps in shock at this information and seeing Kushina down on the bed.

Naruto says, with a nod, “No joke, Granny Tsunade. Sasuke is dead, so, he wants to take out the people that killed him, not caring who he has to hurt and kill to get the vengeance for the death of his son.”

Shizune asks, “Doesn’t that mean that Hinata is in danger?”

Minato says, “I don’t think so, Shizune. They would have tried to target her. I don’t think that they know that Hinata was the one to kill Sasuke. They believe that it was my son and currently, he is the main target.” Hinata gasps and she remembers the images of what happened between her and Sasuke in which she then runs off passing by Sakura as she does so.

Sakura asks, surprised, “Sakura?” Everyone else hears this and Naruto then runs down into the hallway.

Naruto asks, seriously, “What happened?”

Sakura says, “I don’t know. Hinata was here, looking in the room, and she then ran off.” Naruto, managing to realize what happened, runs off after Hinata and leaving a confused Sakura in his wake. Hinata rushes into the Namikaze clan compound where she, Fina, and Naruto have been staying as soon as they got there.

Hinata thinks in her mind, solemnly, “I’ve caused more pain and misery for Naruto-kun, again! I was the one that killed Sasuke, not Naruto! And now, he and his family have been targeted because of me!”

Just then Naruto’s voice booms, “Hinata-chan?”

Hinata turns to see Naruto walking towards her and Hinata says, “This is all my fault, Master Naruto-kun.”

Naruto says, “No, this isn’t, Hinata!”

Hinata says, “It is! If I didn’t kill Sasuke…!!”

Naruto tells Hinata, “I would have for what he did to you! Our ‘bond’ allowed me to sense what that fucking piece of dirt did to you! If you didn’t kill him, I would have!”

Hinata says, “I know, Naruto-kun, but I was the one that struck the blow and now, you are paying the price for what I did to Sasuke since his father is alive and he is taking his revenge against you.”

Naruto says, rolling his eyes, “That Fugaku has plenty of brain cells, but he is still a fucking asshole. He doesn’t need Sasuke-teme to get payback. My mom kicked his ass and like in typical Uchiha fashion, he was the reason that Uchiha clan was on my ass a lot.”

Hinata asks, a bit surprised, “He knew your heritage?”

Naruto says, “No kidding, Hinata-chan. Sasuke’s and Itachi’s mom was my mom’s best friend. Personally, she wanted to adopt me, but like the fucking pain in the ass, he refused to have anything to do with me for the reason that my mother wounded his ‘Uchiha pride’.”

Hinata says, “Still I can’t help to feel that I bring misfortune to you again. I thought that by admitting my part in it that you could…”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “How do you think that it would make me feel? Did you think about how it would make your father and your sister feel, Hinata-chan?! Did you think about those left behind would feel about such a thing?”

Hinata says, solemnly, “I’m sorry, Master Naruto-kun. I just…”

Naruto tells Hinata, going over to her and putting his hand on her chin, “The past is the past, Hinata-chan. It is time for us to go into the future. Now, let’s kick that asshole back into the grave that he belongs into, believe it.”

Hinata says, with a nod and warm smile, “Right, Naruto-sama.” Hinata and Naruto then share a loving and passionate kiss in which Sakura and Fina are watching this in which Fina is smiling while Sakura keeps her arms crossed off, but deep down, Sakura desires such love from someone, however, she feels that she can never have it for all of the mistakes that she has made in life.

(Days later; At Whirlpool)

In the nation of Whirlpool, there are a group of well-made carriages begin pulled to the Daimyo palace and within the massive group of ninja and civilians, there is Alberto looking over the scene. At the gates of the Daimyo palace, a group of Whirlpool samurai guards is waiting as a man with shoulder length dark brown hair, dark eyes, and wearing diplomatic style clothing comes out.

The man says, “We are the members of the council of Avion and we wish to see Lady Kushina.”

The samurai responds, “Do you have an appointment?”

The man responds, “We do not. It is understandable that you are reluctant to let us in due to the fact that our arrival was unannounced.”

The samurai says, “We must ask you to wait until we can arrange an appointment and if we get let you in right away.”

Just then the gates open and a female voice says, “That’s quite all right.”

Everyone looks to see Karin coming out and one of the guard says, “Lady Karin!”

Karin says, “Geez! If you guys are so stuck up on formality, just call me ‘Karin-sama’. Anyway, my name is Karin Uzumaki.”

There are a few gasps and the man says, stunned, “You are an Uzumaki?! I thought that only Lady Kushina and her son were the only Uzumaki left!”

Karin says, with a smile, “I was under the employ of Orochimaru before my clansman found me and I have been a spy for them until several months ago. Personally, my existence was kept due to my abilities as an Uzumaki because we didn’t want fat pigs to attempt to use me as ‘breeding material’ if you can understand.”

The man responds, “But of course, Karin-dono. The Uzumaki are legendary for their sealing arts mastery and long life-spans.”

Karin says, “Anyway, I am top advisor to the current Daimyo. I welcome you to Whirlpool and wish to invite you inside.”

The man replies, “Actually, we have heard rumors that Lady Kushina was attacked.”

Karin says, with a nod, “You are very correct.”

The man asks, “What is Lady Kushina’s condition?”

Karin responds, “If you will follow me inside, I will explain.” Karin then motions for the doors to be made wide open and she heads inside in which she escorts the man and others dressed a lot like him to a throne room where they gasp to see Naruto, dressed in a grab fit for an Emperor, and Hinata, dressed in grab of a queen with a see-through violet veil covering her nose and mouth, while a black haired male is in the room.

The man responds, “This is not Lady Kushina!”

Karin says, “It is not, sir. This is his majesty, Daimyo Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, and his queen, Lady Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki Namikaze.”

Naruto yells out, sternly, “Karin!”

Karin yelps and she says, “Yes, Naruto-sama.”

Naruto says, “The ambassador from Gupta has come with confusion expecting my mother! You said that the matter was explained to him!” Naruto says to the black haired male, “Ambassador, I take full responsibility for my advisor’s blunder. She is very flawless in her work and she normally doesn’t make mistakes.”

The black haired male responds, a bit nervously, “No problem, your majesty. I just was surprised by this.”

Karin says, bowing in respect, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean any disrespect. Allow me to once again formally introduce his majesty, Daimyo Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, founder of the Anatolian empire back in your home lands AND current Daimyo of Whirlpool, taking over from current Lady Kushina, due to her ‘illness’.”

The men from Avion are stunned and one of them says, “The founder of the Anatolian Empire.”

Another one says, “He is said to be the second Six Path Sage himself.”

Naruto says, with a smile and sigh, “Again? Forgive me, I’m not used to such things. You are saying that I’m some kind of deity or something, but I’m just a regular ninja guy. A really cool ninja, but a ‘mortal’ just the same, believe it.”

Karin says, “Anyway, as you know, Naruto is the son of Lady Kushina and his highness, Minato Namikaze, who his majesty, here, left in charge of the Anatolian Empire to fulfill his missions to take down people like Orochimaru and the Akatsuki in which you already know had their asses kicked by him. He was planning to head home to take over from his father, but this incident came about and he had to take over from his mother.”

Karin was about to say something else, but Naruto tells Karin, “Hold it, Karin!” Karin stops and Naruto says, “I will introduce my lovely queen myself. This is Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki Namikaze, my queen. She is the daughter of the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga.”

Hinata says, with a formal bowing of the head, “I am very honored to meet all of you.”

The others bow their heads in respect and Naruto says, looking at the leader of the group from Avion, “Now, Gigal-dono, there is the matter of the trading deals from Avion that need to be discussed.”

Just then a male voice says, “I believe I can speak on that subject, your majesty.” Everyone looks towards the source of the voice to see Sennca, dressed in the robes of a high-class noble of a royal court, enter the room.

Naruto and Hinata are surprised by this and the leader of the ambassadors from Avion, Gigal, says, “Supreme Chairman Sennca.”

Sennca walks over and he tells Gigal, “Forgive me, Gigal. I was actually here on personal business when I saw that you had arrived and I was curious since I didn’t hear about any ambassador mission to Whirlpool.”

Gigal says, “No, Sennca-sama. We did not believe that it was a matter needing to involve the head of the council.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, surprised, “Whoa! Head of the Avion council?! The top dog of Avion?!”

Sennca says, with a nod, “Understandable, my friend.” Sennca tells Naruto, “Your majesty, you must forgive me. When I had shown my ‘status’ to your guards, they became quite panicked. I believe that I scared them a bit and now, I am in your court unannounced.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “It is no problem. To be honest, we were expecting you, but not so soon.”

Sennca says, with a smile, “But of course. You, as an elite ninja, know what it means to be late, but it is my motto to get things done today rather than leaving them to tomorrow.”

Naruto says, “A wise policy, believe it.”

Sennca says, “Anyway, your majesty, the merchants of Avion wish to continue and in fact, expand our trade with your nation. We have enjoyed incredible prosperity thanks to your nation and it has become a valuable trading point for our people.” Sennca asks the Avion councilmembers in the room, “Don’t you agree?”

The Avion councilmembers reply in unison, “Yes!”

Naruto says, with a smile, “We are glad to expand our relations with Avion.”

Sennca responds, “As do we.”

Naruto tells the Gupta ambassador, obviously an Uchiha, “Now, ambassador, you wish to ask us questions. It does make me curious why a nation from another world would be curious about a Leaf village ninja.”

The ambassador responds, “It is a very complex story, your majesty.”

Naruto says, “Really? I’m all ears.”
The ambassador responds, “You see, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha were not the last of the Uchiha bloodline. His majesty is also of Uchiha blood.”

There are quite a few gasps and Hinata asks, feigning surprise, “How can this be?”

The ambassador replies, “You see, Lady Hinata, our majesty’s father had snuck into the Elemental Countries long ago and managed to ‘secure’ an Uchiha bride.”

Naruto asks, feigning curiosity, “Secure, huh?”

The ambassador says, “Our majesty is proud of his heritage and he is always curious about his mother’s people. When he had heard what happened to the clan, he was quite shocked and after you had ‘left’ the Leaf so many years ago, his majesty managed to get in contact with Sasuke Uchiha. You can imagine that he was quite stunned to learn that there was someone else of Uchiha blood other than his brother still alive.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, “That would be true if he really did know.”

The ambassador says, “No one knew this due to the fact that his majesty wished to keep it a secret since Sasuke Uchiha’s ‘relationship’ with the village was mainly strained expect with ‘certain people’.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, “No joke, pal!”

Naruto says, “I see. But you are going to need to provide proof.”

The ambassador says, with a nod, “Of course. I have letters that his majesty had received from Sasuke. As you may have expected, he desired knowledge on how to gain more power and become an elite in which his majesty ‘respected’ since he, too, held Uchiha blood.”

Naruto says, “I get the idea, believe it.”

The ambassador says, “Sasuke Uchiha was told to destroy all of the letters that he had gotten from us due to the fact that the Leaf might consider him giving vital information to an enemy and with his ‘relationship’ in the Leaf already strained, they may ‘misunderstand’ what was really happening in those letters.”

Naruto says, getting a suspicious tone, “I see.”

The ambassador tells Naruto, looking Naruto in the eye, “From what is rumored to have happened, Sasuke Uchiha died by your hands during your invasion and conquest of the Leaf Village.”

Naruto responds, with a serious expression, “Well, as much as I wanted to end the Teme, I can inform you with absolute certainty that it was not I that struck the death blow to Sasuke. However, I was there when he died, but I don’t think that this is the proper place to talk about such things. I wish to go to the Gupta and explain what happened to the Teme with his majesty personally.”

This was like a bombshell to the ambassador and he yells out, stunned, “What was that?”

Naruto replies, with a sly smile, “My queen and I were there in the Teme’s final moments and since his majesty wishes to know the truth about his kin, how can I not explain it to him myself? Would you be so kind to serve as intermediary and arrange our visit?”

The ambassador responds, sounding strong, but mentally, he is shocked and confused at what Naruto is doing, “Of course, your majesty.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Thanks. This is great favor, believe it.”

The ambassador tells Naruto, “Your majesty, I can assure that I will not fail.”

Naruto responds, “I know.” Naruto then says, “Everyone, I thank you for your time and you are dismissed!” Naruto and Hinata get up from their seats and walk off in royal fashion in which Karin, unseen by the representatives from Avion and Gupta, gives a sly smirk. Elsewhere, Naruto and Hinata enter a room and Sakura and Fina close the doors behind them.

Hinata rips off the veils and she yells out, “I’m going to suffocate in these clothes!”

Sakura says, “I still can’t believe that you are the same Hinata. You wouldn’t be caught dead without a thick jacket.”

Naruto tells Hinata, with a smile, “Man! You were great, Hinata! Just like a queen!”

Fina tells Hinata, “You were excellent, Hinata-chan!”

Sakura says, with a smirk, “I agree. I’m not sure that I can pull that one.”

Naruto tells Sakura, “Not with your temper, Sakura. And don’t get me on that one, believe it.”

Sakura tells Naruto, “You are real lucky that I don’t want to be on the end of your mother’s punches, Naruto. Yeah, you are way stronger, faster, and all around better than I am, however, I’m not afraid of you. It’s my mother that I’m afraid of.”

Naruto tells Sakura, with a grin, “I’m not surprised and I don’t blame you, Sakura. Trust me, she can scare me, believe it.” Hinata and Fina giggle at this and then they hear the door open in which everyone looks to see Sennca enter the room.

Hinata says, “Mister Sennca.”

Sennca close the doors behind him and he says, “You are really ninja. A flawless act. You were truly a king and queen.”

Naruto tells Sennca, “I was surprised, my friend. I didn’t know that you were the head of the council.”

Hinata tells Sennca, “We didn’t know that you were in a high position.”

Sakura says, “Through it isn’t too surprising seeing that you are a top merchant there.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Good point, Sakura.” Naruto tells Sennca, “Thank you, Sennca-dono.”

Sennca says, with a smile, “It’s all right, my friend. I owe you a lot. Shiera is invaluable to me. And like I said before, I had many slaves before, after my beloved wife had died, but Shiera is like no other. So, I plan to give her freedom and I intend to marry her.”

Hinata says, “That’s wonderful!”

Fina says, “I’m so happy for you both!”

Sakura thinks in her mind, amazed, “I can’t believe it! He does actually love her! This is like some weird hentai manga or a story that perverted sage would write!”

(Elsewhere; at this moment)

In the land of Gor, a familiar perverted Toad Sage, in disguise as a beggar, walks down the streets until he sneezes.

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, “Someone must be talking about me. I hope that it is some hot young thing and not the gaki, his mother, or Minato. Anyway, I’ve got to get to work. I’m going to meet with the operative in this area. The gaki’s and Minato’s spy network around this land is beyond excellent. They have done me proud.” Jiraiya then gets a perverted smile and he thinks, “And this land is also great since my Icha Icha is selling like hot cakes around here! I’m not surprised since they keep women in bondage around here which makes my stomach churn. I like the ‘clothing’ that these ‘slave women’ wear, but it is just the fact that they are in bondage that makes me sick. The only ‘enslavement’ I write my works of art is the enslaving of the heart. This kind of stuff is disgusting, but this is the way that things are. Anyway, personally, my beloved Icha Icha is actually selling to as many ‘free women’ as men! I never knew that women here can be so ‘naughty’ and it is perfect for my next work of art!” However, Jiraiya returns his focus to his mission and gains a serious ninja as he heads off to meet one of Naruto’s and Minato’s spies in this land.

(Back to Whirlpool; A second afterwards)

Rejoining Naruto, Hinata, Fina, Sakura, and Sennca, they are in the room when Karin busts into the room.

Naruto asks, surprised, “Karin, what’s up?”

Karin responds, “We have word from the Leaf Village! Your mother is up and about!”

Sakura asks, “She is?”

Fina says, “That’s great!”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Better head over there before my mother smashes down the place!”

Karin says, with a nod, “No fucking kidding, Naruto.”

Sennca tells Naruto, “I heard many legends concerning your mother. She is the legendary ‘Red Hot Reaper’ after all.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Believe it, Sennca.”

(Later on; Returning to the Leaf Village)

Inside of the Leaf Village hospital, Kushina is on her feet and bring restrained by her husband along with ANBU guards in the room with Tsunade and Shizune looming over her.

Shizune tells Kushina, “Kushina-sama, you must rest! You just recovered!”

Kushina says, her features showing great fatigue, “No way… I’m not going to let some Uchiha assholes… keep me down… I can’t believe that Mikoto…”

Minato tells Kushina, “We aren’t sure that Mikoto is still alive or if she is, she knows about this, Kushina-chan.”

Kushina says, “Well, I’m going to find… by going to Gupta… and rip up everyone until Mikoto-chan comes out… or I find out what happened to her…”

Tsunade tells Kushina, “No way, Kushina! You are still getting the effects of the poison out of your system despite the antidote! You are going to rest even if I have to pound into a body cast!”

Kushina retorts, “You wouldn’t dare, sensei…”

Tsunade tells Kushina, “If it means that you are not going to waste your second life, I will, Kushina.”

Tsunade and Kushina stare at each until Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and Fina enter the room and Naruto tells Kushina, “Mom, cool it!”

Kushina tells Naruto, “Sochi…”

Naruto asks Minato, “Dad, did you tell her?”

Minato says, with a sigh, “Not everything, but she knows that it was Gupta and the fact that half of the Uchiha clan including Mikoto and her husband faked their deaths.”

Kushina asks, with a glare, “Not everything?”

Minato gets nervous and Naruto tells Kushina, “Dad came up with a good plan and I agreed to do it.”

Kushina asks, curiously and with a suspicious eye, “Plan?” There are plenty of sighs and nervous looks as the plan that Minato came up with is explained to Kushina and when they are done, Kushina’s voice booms throughout the Leaf Village, “WHAT?!” The whole of the Leaf Village is stunned since it was unexpected, but plenty of them shudder in fear knowing who the voice belongs to. Inside of the hospital, Kushina is being restrained while Minato takes a few steps back nervously.

Sakura thinks in her mind, nervously, “Here we go.”

Kushina screams out, “Minato-kun, have you gone off the deep end?!”

Minato responds, “I don’t think so, Kushina-chan.”

Naruto tells his mom, with a sigh, “I had already agreed to do this.”

Kushina tells Naruto, “But Sochi, you and Hinata are going into the lion’s den.”

Naruto retorts, with a foxy smirk, “And what better way to lure out a lion than with the proper bait, mom?”

Kushina tells Naruto, “But you are putting Hinata-chan in danger.”

Hinata responds, “Wherever Master Naruto-kun goes, I will go and if he dies, he will not die alone despite no matter how much he tries to make sure of that.”

Kushina, Naruto, and Sakura sigh at this and Naruto thinks in his mind, with a kind smile, “I knew that you would say that Hinata-chan.”

Naruto says, “Well, the die is already cast, mom. We’ve already managed to secure the support of the Avion council.”

Kushina asks, surprised, “You did?” Soon enough, Naruto explains on what happened back at Whirlpool.

When Naruto was done, Tsunade says, with a sigh, “So, it begins.”

Shizune asks, “Are you going to ask support?”

Naruto responds, with a smile, “No, you are going to give us the ninja that I want with no questions asked.”

Shizune gives a look of surprise and Tsunade retorts, with a plain tone, “Remember, Naruto was the one that conquered the Leaf in one night and it wouldn’t look good if he just hired our ninja. He has to ‘take’ our ninja for his ‘service’ since we are under the ‘sphere of influence’ of Whirlpool and Anatolia, namely Naruto and his family.”

Shizune says, with a nod, “Oh.”

Minato says, “Well, they are going to have to get used to it. They know that I have no respect for my former home anymore and when my son takes over the nation that he had created, I’m retiring to Whirlpool with my wife and my new baby daughter.”

Kushina asks, concerned, “How is Mito-chan?”

Naruto says, with a smile, “She is doing great, mom. She is just a bundle of energy just like you.”

Minato says, a bit nervously, “That’s wonderful, son.”

Kushina tells Minato, with a seductive purr, “Well, Minato-kun, you want to expect a few more since we are going to be living a lot longer thanks to the ‘treatments’ after we were revived on the other side of the world expanding our life-spans and making us unable to physically look beyond our thirties.”

Minato gains a blush and Tsunade asks, drolly, “Really, Kushina-chan?”

Kushina smiles at Tsunade and she then tells Naruto, with a sigh, “There is no stopping this now. You are going to have to be careful. We are dealing with the Uchiha clan and you know all too well how they can be.”

Naruto says, “No joke. If the Teme’s father is anything like the Teme himself, he is going to a major headache.”

Minato says, “Not to mention half of the clan managed to escape the destruction of the clan, you don’t know how many more new Uchiha clan members have been ‘added’ since their escape from the destruction of their clan.”

Tsunade says, “I may have a good idea and I found another disturbing fact.”

Everyone looks at Tsunade and Kushina asks, “What do you mean?”

Tsunade says, “Sasuke and Itachi might have a younger sibling. A year younger than Sasuke himself.”

There are multiple gasps and Naruto asks, “Wait! The Teme has a younger sibling?”

Tsunade says, “During the search throughout the Uchiha clan compound, the team managed to find a secret underground area which includes a hospital, nursery, and playground. There is no information, there, they made sure that there is no information that we can find. However, in Sasuke’s home, we managed to find secret things that Mikoto had hidden away including a hidden dairy.” Tsunade takes out a small dairy from a storage seal on her body and in which everyone starts to read the dairy.

Kushina says, her eyes widening, “Mikoto-chan had a third child.”

Tsunade says, “Just after Sasuke. However, Fugaku had her keep the pregnancy hidden through a combination of Genjutsu, transformation, and clones and plenty of other Uchiha were ordered to do the same. Fugaku had a bad feeling that the Uchiha’s relations with the village are going to get worse after what happened on the day of Naruto’s birth and they were preparing for the worst.”

Minato says, “This is more complicated than I thought.”

Naruto says, “No joke, dad. We aren’t dealing with Sasuke’s and Itachi’s parents. We also have to deal with their long ‘lost’ younger sibling.”

Sakura thinks in her mind, “Can’t imagine what he is like.”

(Within Gupta; Later on)

Inside of the royal palace of Gupta, Marlon Uchiha and Hanna, Alberto’s brother, are together in a bed in which they are in the nude with Hanna having a slave’s collar around her neck.

Marlon tells Hanna, with a smirk, “You were so strong against your opponents on the training field and yet, you accepted my personal slave training without any question.”

Hanna responds, with a blush, “Well, your majesty…”

Marlon tells Hanna, making her look him in the eye, “Father has always told me that in order to continue our bloodline, we need to take women, but not ordinary women, we need strong women. My mother, Mikoto, is a strong woman, Hanna. My family even thinks that I am a ‘prude’, but as I heard about my younger sibling, I didn’t want to be swarmed by weak women that don’t deserve my seed. You are different Hanna.”

Hanna asks, surprised, “Your majesty…?”

However, she doesn’t get to speak as Marlon tells her, “You will call me ‘master’ from now on, Hanna. I have taken you as mine and you are mine. Is that understood?” Hanna’s blush grows wide especially after Marlon kisses her, again.

When Marlon breaks off the kiss, Hanna responds, “Yes… my master.”

Marlon tells Hanna, “Good, Hanna. Anyway, at some time, do tell your brother to accept some ‘rewards’ that I would give him. The man is wonderfully loyal, but he is wasting his potential.”

Hanna asks, surprised, “Master?”

Marlon tells Hanna, “When life gives you a ‘chance’ and it is in front of you, you must take it. It allows you to advance in life to what you desire and need.” Hanna nods her head in understanding and Marlon tells Hanna, “Now, you have what you want, correct?”

Hanna responds, lovingly, “Yes, my master.”

(Days later on; Returning to Whirlpool)

Within Whirlpool, Karin is walking through the hallways with a scroll in her hands and she enters an office within the Daimyo palace within Whirlpool where Naruto is enjoying time with Hinata and Fina in which they are playing strip poker while Naruto’s clones get all of the paperwork done.

Naruto says, with a suspicious glare, “You must be losing on purpose girls.”

Fina tells Naruto, with a giggle, “Master, I don’t know what you are meaning.”

Naruto asks, suspiciously, “What did Kurama do to you to get you in on this?”

Hinata tells Naruto, lovingly, “Master Naruto-kun, you aren’t complaining.”

Naruto responds, “Why did I ever agree?” When Hinata and Fina give him a ‘puppy dog eyes’, Naruto responds, “Okay! Okay! I get it!”

Karin asks, with a smirk, “And I thought that you were supposed to be the ‘master’, here.”

Naruto tells Karin, plainly, “Very funny, Karin.”

Karin tells Naruto, with a serious tone, “It’s here.” Karin hands Naruto a scroll, he looks at the contents, and he nods his head.

Naruto asks Karin, “Did Pervy Sage get the information?”

Karin says, with a nod, “Yep. The guy is a real pervert, but he has improved our spy network greatly.”

Naruto says, “He is a real perverted, but Pervy Sage knows his intelligence networks. Our spy networks are made from his model after all.”

Karin says, with a serious tone, “Anyway, we are dealing with the Uchiha clan, the survivors that Fugaku managed to get.”

Naruto says, “You would look at the Uchiha clan and its members in which you wouldn’t think that they wouldn’t care about their own when in fact, they do love and it is that ‘extreme love’ that gives birth to the Curse of Hatred through it was Kaguya that created it in the first place when she turned our ancestors, Indra and Asura, who are also Sasuke’s and my past selves’, against one another.”

Karin asks Naruto, “Does this mean that Indra has a new incarnation?”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Most likely, Karin. Like when Madara died, the part of him that was Indra went into Sasuke and when Sasuke died, Indra’s spirit and chakra will be reborn in another Uchiha clan member if it hasn’t already.”

Karin says, “Hopefully, you can stop this cycle.”

Naruto says, with a plain tone, “I will stop this cycle, believe it.”

Karin says, with a smirk, “I don’t get fucking why when you say such things, I believe you.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Anyway, we have got work to do, Karin.”

Karin says, “I’ll inform Minato to get in contact with Tao and nomads.”

Naruto tells Karin, “Tell him to also find the Mithra in the Neko woods.”

Karin asks, curiously, “Really? I read about them and this female society isn’t too friendly with outsiders.”

Naruto says, “They owe my dad and me a blood debt.” Karin’s eyes widen and she nods her head as she walks out.

Hinata asks Naruto, “Do you intend to finish what Itachi started?”

Naruto responds, “Only if necessary, Hinata-chan. This cycle of hatred and death has to end and hopefully, this will end everything.”

Fina says, with a smile, “I know that you can do it, Master Naruto-kun.”

Naruto says, “We’ll see, Fina-chan.” Naruto then gently kisses Fina on the forehead and Naruto gets to his feet to prepare for his trip to Gupta.

(Some days later; At the Land of Gor)

A royal type of carriage is surrounded by samurai riding webbed two legged horse-like creatures like the one that Naruto was and is riding at this moment while they are also ringed by remaining members of Team 7, Kakashi, Sakura, who’s ‘bondages’ are hidden by seals projecting a Genjutsu to hide them, and Sai, the remaining members of Team 8, Kurenai and Shino, Team 10, Asuma, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji, Team Guy, Guy, Neji, Tenten, and Lee, Yamato, Anko, and Yugao, without her ANBU mask on.

Ino asks, “Why do we have to be dragged along?”

Shikamaru tells Ino, “Troublesome. Ino, the only reason that the Leaf is recovering is because of Whirlpool and if Whirlpool collapses, we are going to go into the dumpster. Remember, Naruto’s mother was attacked in our village.”

Ino says, “Well, we were recovering!”

Shino says, “It doesn’t matter. There might be rumors that we were the ones to do it out of spite of Naruto defeating us and even if they aren’t true, the Leaf will be in complete ruins.”

Asuma says, “Shino and Shikamaru have a point, Ino. We have to nip this in the butt.”

Anko tells Naruto, “This plan takes some real balls.”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “My dad and I have guts to spare especially my dad. He is my mom’s husband.”

Kakashi says, with an ‘eye smile’, “You have a point, Naruto.”

Lee says, “However, this plan is risky. Despite your great power, you will be hard pressed even against a nation of Uchiha, who might have restored their numbers since the survivors managed to fool us all that they were killed by Itachi when he was ordered to destroy the Uchiha clan for its unyouthful rebellion.”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “What’s life without a little risk, Bushy Brows? Anyway, we need to nip them in the butt now.”

Yamato says, “Well, our forces are ready to go. Thanks to our recovery and much of the ‘clean up’ of the village is complete, our forces are ready to deploy.”

Naruto says, “Good, Yamato-sensei. The others will be meeting with the Leaf and Whirlpool forces soon enough.” Naruto then goes over to the carriage and he asks, “How is my queen doing?”

The silk certain of the carriage open up and Hinata, dressed in her ‘royal grab’ responds, “It’s awful! It’s so hot in here!”

Naruto says, “Yeah. These carriages don’t come with some kind of air condition for some stupid reason. They are all show and no comfort.”

Kurenai tells Hinata, “You have to go as a queen, Hinata.”

Naruto tells Hinata, “Hang in there.”

Hinata responds, “Don’t worry, I will. However, I’m a bit afraid since we might be dealing with people similar to ‘him’.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “I know.” Naruto then senses something and a group of ANBU appears in which some of the ANBU have Leaf insignia while others have Whirlpool insignia on them.
Yugao tells the Leaf ANBU, “Report.”

Naruto says to the ANBU with the Whirlpool insignia, “You, too.” Soon enough, Yugao hears from both the Leaf and Whirlpool ANBU.

When they are done, Yugao tells Naruto, “Well, they are up ahead of us and they don’t seem to planning anything malicious.”

Naruto asks, “Can we confirm that any of them are Uchiha?”

Yugao responds, with a nod, “We can. They spotted a few of them using Sharingan, but our scouts weren’t detected.”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Not surprising since my family developed seals that can negate dojutsu like the Sharingan and Byakugan.”
Yugao says, “They might become concerned with Ino since she is a sensor like many in her clan.”

Yamato says, “Doubtful, Yugao-sempai. Like Naruto and many of our group, they were little kids when the ‘massacre’ happened and plenty of the Uchiha will know this fact. This fact could help us since it will put them at ease since they will feel that Ino won’t know their chakra signatures.”

Shino says, with a nod, “It might keep their guard low.”

Shikamaru says, “But that means that we need to keep our guard up since they are a former clan of our village and we aren’t sure that they don’t know that we know this fact. This is a real drag.”

Naruto says, “Best not to keep them waiting.” Yugao motions for the ANBU to disperse and they do so in which the group continues on in which Naruto smiles at Hinata and she nods and smiles back. Later on, the group is coming towards a large mansion in which Prince Marlon is with his personal guard in front of a royal tent while a row of armored clan soldiers with helmets to cover their eyes and hair is on either side of the path leading towards him and his group as Naruto, Hinata, and the Leaf group goes through them.

Tenten whispers, looking at the soldiers, “This is pretty creepy.”
Neji tells Tenten, “Easy, Tenten. I doubt that they will try anything here, but keep your guard up. However, you must try to relax or they might get anxious.”

Tenten tells Neji, “Easy for you to say, Neji.”

Yamato whispers to Kakashi, “Making sure not to expose their identities to us.”

Kakashi tells Yamato, in a whisper, “I know, Yamato. Best not to speak just in case they read our lips.”

As they approach, Marlon looks at Naruto and he thinks, “So, this is the man that took down my elder brother, Sasuke, huh? He doesn’t look like much, but since he is the son of the Fourth Hokage and the woman that embarrassed my father, he is nothing to trifle with especially with the rumors about his power.” After Naruto gets down from his horse-like creature and Hinata, royally as possible, comes down from the carriage, Marlon says, “Greetings, your majesty. I am Prince Marlon of Gupta.”

Naruto says, “I’m Daimyo Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze of Whirlpool. And this is my queen, Hinata.”

Hinata says, “It is an honor to meet you, your majesty.”

Marlon says, “The honor is mine.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “Need I say that you don’t seem like a person of Uchiha blood.”

Marlon tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “As you know, my father is half-Uchiha and it means that I am only a quarter-Uchiha. I doubt that I have the power of the fabled Sharingan of the clan. However, if the rumors are true, I doubt that even that power would compare to the mighty power that you weld.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “Oh? What is this great power that I weld?”

Marlon tells Naruto, “Why the Rinnegan of course. You know how it is. You are the famous founder of the mighty Anatolian Empire after all since you have united the peoples of the Anatolian plain in which one of the kingdoms was your father’s ancestral homeland or so the rumor goes.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “Prince Marlon-dono, you should really know how to watch out for rumors. They might lead to misconceptions, believe it. Don’t take this the wrong way. Just consider it friendly advice.”

Marlon responds, “I see. Wise words, your majesty.” Marlon tells Naruto, “It is surprising that you have Leaf ninja as your escort.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “The Leaf and I weren’t on the best of ‘terms’ when I left, but it has changed since they are now ‘under my employ’ if you get my meaning.”

Marlon says, with a nod, “Indeed, your majesty.”

Sakura thinks in her mind, sarcastically, “Thank you for reminding how bad you butt kicked our village, Naruto.”

Marlon says, “Anyway, I think that it is best that we rest here. It is getting late and this region that has some of the most dangerous creatures known to Gor.”

Naruto says, “Yes, I know. I have faced a few in my past and it is quite a miracle that I’m still intact, believe it.”

Marlon says, with a nod, “Indeed, your majesty.” Later on, inside of the mansion, the group is in a plain room while Marlon has Hanna, dressed in a slave’s collar and a skimpy maroon bikini style outfit, in which Hanna is kneeling in front of them. Marlon says, “During your stay, she will attend to your needs.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “There is no need. As you know, I have learned to take care of myself.”

Marlon tells Naruto, “No insult to you, Naruto-dono. Your ability of self-reliance is well-known since it was your blood, sweat, and tears and those that followed you that created your empire.”

Naruto says, “None taken, Marlon-dono.”
Hanna tells them, “My name is Hanna.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “Very lovely young lady, here, your majesty. Is she yours?”

Marlon responds, “She belongs to the family, but she has been assigned to me personally. She has been my most faithful servant for years now and she has never failed me.” Hanna can’t help to have her blush expand and plenty of the others notice this. Naruto glances at Hinata and back at Hanna in which a ‘mental message’ causes her to mentally nod.

Naruto tells Marlon, “Thank you for your hospitality. Your lovely servant is not needed right now. We will call for her if needed.”

Marlon says, with a nod, “But of course. Come, Hanna.”

Hanna responds, “Yes, master.” The two of them headed off and leave the room.

When the group is alone, Naruto flings a lot of sealing spell scrolls that glow before they fade into the walls and ceiling and he says, “Okay, we can speak freely.”

Ino says, “That girl is no ‘working girl’. I can feel her chakra levels despite them trying to hide it.”

Naruto says, “Crude seals, Ino. The Uchiha are among the worst when it comes to sealing jutsu, believe it.”

Kakashi says, “I remember Fugaku attempting to copy Kushina’s sealing jutsu with his Sharingan only for it to backfire on him greatly.”

Anko says, with a smirk, “And did you see that girl’s body? That girl has well-developed muscles shows that she is an elite kunoichi.”

Kurenai says, with a nod, “I saw the same, Anko.”

Sai says, “She might be an assassin.”

Kakashi says, “That’s a possibility, but most likely, she is meant to be a spy on us.”

Naruto says, “Believe it, Kakashi-sensei.”

Neji says, “They must want to find out what we know since people at the incident saw one of them use the same jutsu that Kakashi has with his Sharingan eye.”

Kakashi says, “It shocked me to learn that there was another Mangekyo Sharingan with a Kamui.”

Naruto tells Kakashi, “It can’t be too surprising, Kakashi-sensei. Despite the Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo being the common techniques of the Mangekyo Sharingan, it doesn’t mean that other Uchiha and Mangekyo Sharingan won’t develop Kamui or Kotoamatsukami, Kakashi-sensei.”

Shino says, “And that means that we need to be very careful despite the sealing tags that prevent such bloodline jutsu to be worked on us.”

Hinata tells Naruto, “Naruto-kun, did you see how she reacted to the prince’s comment?”

Naruto says, “Yep. She has a real thing for the prince. However, let’s keep out of that, we aren’t on vacation.”
Neji tells Hinata, “Agreed, Hinata-sama. Naruto is right. We are on a mission after all.”

Hinata says, “Well, I just feel that despite her being an Uchiha, she seems to be a nice person.”

Neji tells Hinata, “No one is born good or bad. It is how they are raised and we are not sure how these new generations of Uchiha are being raised.”

Hinata says, with a smile, “Something tells me that she does have a set of morals and she is just a very loyal member of the clan and loyal to her prince who I think she loves a lot.”

Anko asks, with a sly smirk, “So, our former Hyuga princess is become a cupid, huh?”

Hinata blushes at this and she says, with a kind smile, “I think that I will let her ‘attend me’ and get to know her better.”

There are plenty of gasps and Kurenai asks, “You aren’t serious?!”

Hinata tells Kurenai, “I’m going to be all right, Kurenai-sensei. It isn’t like that I don’t know how to have ‘female interaction’ since I’ve been with Fina a lot.”

There are plenty of blushes at the implications of that and Ino asks Sakura, “Sakura?”

Sakura responds, blushing madly, “Don’t ask, Ino-Pig.”

Kurenai glares at Naruto and he says, seriously, “Don’t look at me!”

Hinata tells Kurenai, with a glare, “Kurenai-sensei, you are my beloved teacher, but I don’t like it when my Naruto-sama is glare like that.” Kurenai is surprised and a bit scared at the glare that her former student is giving her.

Neji says, with a sigh, “I am never going to understand girls.”
Lee says, “Yes, Neji. They are a very complex member of humanity.” Tenten glares at Lee and Neji, but she just sighs afterwards in which Hinata prepares to take a bath with Hanna ‘attending’ to her in order to ‘gather information’.

(The following day)

The following day, Naruto and his group are together in front of Marlon and Hinata is wearing a female ANBU style outfit with a veil over her nose and mouth.

Marlon asks, surprised, “You are running to the capital?”

Hinata says, with a nod, “Yes. The carriage is just too stuffy and hot. You see, I am a former kunoichi of the Leaf before I became his majesty’s queen.”

Naruto tells Marlon, “You shouldn’t be surprised, Marlon-dono. My queen is the former heiress of the Hyuga clan before becoming my queen. You have to understand that even though she was a ‘ninja princess’, she was an elite member of the Leaf Village and trained as a warrior first and foremost.”

Marlon says, nodding in understanding, “But of course. However, it doesn’t seem proper.”

Naruto says, “You have to understand that she has become a queen only recently and she is still used to it. She also wishes to see the famous riding techniques that your Calvary is so known for.”

Marlon says, “Understandable. As a ninja, she is used to such things. However, if she falls behind…”

Hinata responds, with a nod, “Then I will wait for the carriage to get me.”

Naruto says, “And you can be assured that her cousin will not let anything happen to her.”

Neji says, with a nod, “Indeed, Naruto-dono.”

One of Marlon’s guards says, with a smirk, “Let’s show them that their abilities on foot are no match for our riding skills which our clan has mixed with our ninja skills along with element bending.”

Marlon says, with a sly smile, “Agreed.” Soon enough, the Gupta soldiers on two legged horses ride off and Naruto, Hinata, and the Leaf group head off in-between the Gupta soldiers on horseback running at top speeds leaving the Whirlpool samurai far behind.

One of them tells another, “So far, so good, captain.”

As the group heads along, Hinata tells Hanna, also riding on horseback, “You ride well, Hanna.”

Hanna tells Hinata, “You are strong, your majesty.”

Marlon thinks in his mind, “Such a lovely woman and yet, she is not tried. I thought that only women of our clan like Hanna and mother could be so strong.” Marlon asks Hinata, “Queen Hinata, we are riding hard. Are you sure that you are all right?”

Hinata says, with a kind tone, “Yes, your majesty. I am fine. I’m used to running like this.”

Marlon says, “Yes, ninja must have great stamina, but there are plenty of ninja, male and female, couldn’t keep up so well.”

Hinata says, “And your cavalry is just amazing.”

Hanna says, “But of course, it is our pride.” They continue on in which Naruto and Hinata look at each other and Naruto enters his Sage Mode in which Hinata then gains violet hue around her eyes and her Byakugan eyes gain dragon-like slits causing Marlon and Hanna to look on in shock as the two of them increase their speed while Marlon and Hanna, focused on them, also increase the speed of their horses.

Hinata says, “Forgive me. I wished to make sure that I kept up so I have activated my new Dragon Sage mode.”

Marlon asks, surprised, “Dragon Sage Mode?”

Naruto says, “Yes. I was taught Senjutsu by the same summons as my dad, the Toads. But you see, I also have another contract and it is the Elemental Dragons.”

Hanna asks, shocked, “The Elemental Dragons?”

Naruto says, with a nod, “The clan guardians, yes. They had agreed to allow me to be their summoner in which I only bring them out just for ‘extreme cases’. However, they allowed my queen to train in their form of Senjutsu and she has become the first Sage of the dragons in many years.”

Marlon says, plainly, “I see.” However, both he and Hanna are nervous in which they are concerned about fighting Naruto and both of his summons even if they are in their home territory.

Hinata tells Marlon, “Marlon-dono, how far are we?”

Marlon says, “It is up ahead.” Naruto, Hinata, Marlon, and Hanna look to see a massive city up ahead.

Hinata asks, “Wouldn’t it be correct for your soldiers to form single file?” Marlon gives a look of surprise and he looks back to see that the rest of guards and the Leaf ninja have fallen behind Marlon, Hanna, Naruto, and Hinata.

Marlon says, shaking his head, “How disgraceful.” Later on, the group is walking through the streets of Gupta as the citizens are coming out to greet them with Marlon and one of his guards in front, Naruto and Hinata, and everyone else behind them.

As the citizens look to see, one of them says, “That woman kept up with Prince Marlon’s steed on foot.”

Another citizen says, “Yeah! She is the queen of Whirlpool and she is said to be a ninja, one of the elite soldiers of their land.”

A third citizen whistles and he says, “Geez! You have to be one of those nomads to keep up with us!” As they continue on, Fugaku is watching from high in the castle and he sneers at this.

Fugaku says, with a sneer, “The Uzumaki’s wench thinks that she can make a fool of the Uchiha with such an act? She will learn her place along with the rest of those fools soon enough.” Fugaku then uses a transformation jutsu to make his skin tanner, his hair a bit greyer, and his eyes are dark brown. Some distance away, the Whirlpool samurai on horseback arrive at a place in which the Leaf and Whirlpool ANBU appear as a formal, but not royal carriage appears on the scene in which Karin comes out of it.

One of the samurai says, “Lady Karin.”

Karin asks, “How are things going?”

One of the Leaf ANBU says, “They are going well.”

A Whirlpool ANBU says, with a sly tone, “Their famous Calvary was chasing his majesty and his queen which makes me wonder if she didn’t use her ace in the hole.”

Another Whirlpool ANBU asks, “Ace in the hole?”

Karin responds, with a sly smirk, “She was taught Senjutsu by the Uzumaki clan guardians.” There are plenty of gasps of shock and Karin says, looking around, “I can’t sense anyone around here. I’m not surprised that they are so arrogant. That’s the Uchiha clan for you.”

Just then a male voice says, “Agreed, Lady Karin.” Karin and everyone else look to see Sennca coming out of the carriage and he says, “It is the reason that I always remember to carry a ‘dagger’ of sorts when dealing with Gupta.”

Karin says, with a nod, “Good policy, Sennca-dono.”

Sennca says, “Anyway, we should get ready.”

Karin says, “Signal the forces immediately.”

A Whirlpool ANBU responds, “Right away, Lady Karin.” Soon enough, plenty of the Whirlpool samurai, and the ANBU from both Leaf and Whirlpool head off to inform their forces.

(Within Gupta; Later on)

Inside of Gupta, we are inside of the throne room of Gupta as Fugaku, in his disguise, has Marlon by his side as two sets of armored men, one set on each side of a red carpet leading to the door to the throne.
Someone then says, “Announcing his majesty, Daimyo Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze of Whirlpool, and his ladyship, Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki Namikaze.” Soon after, the doors open in which Naruto, wearing golden and regal samurai armor, and Hinata, wearing gorgeous regal clothing and a blue see-through veil over her nose and mouth, walks into the room escorted by the Leaf ninja.

Fugaku tells Marlon, whispering, “That’s the Hyuga wench that led our men astray like that.”

Marlon responds, with a sigh, “Yes, father.”

Fugaku tells Marlon, in a whisper, “You have done well to finally chosen a strong female to continue our bloodline, but I thought that she would be able to teach you how to handle women especially kunoichi by now.” When Naruto, Hinata, and their ‘escort’ approach, Naruto, Hinata, and the Leaf ninja bow in front of him in which they are surprised by this jester.

Naruto says, “Your majesty, I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the new Daimyo of Whirlpool, one of the nations of the Elemental Countries and yes, I am the founder of the new Anatolian Empire. I pay my respects to the man that’s known as the ‘legendary fist of the northern realms’. Your reputation precedes you, your majesty.” The men around the throne room are talking about this.

Fugaku tells Naruto, “A courteous greeting. I am very impressed, your majesty. I welcome you to my kingdom.”

Naruto responds, “I thank you, your majesty. I hope for the prosperity to your kingdom.”

Fugaku replies, “And I, to yours, Daimyo Namikaze.” The two of them shake their hands and the Leaf ninja are impressed by this.

Tenten thinks in her mind, “I can’t believe that Naruto is acting so well!”

Shikamaru thinks in his mind, “He really is a troublesome blond. His acting is flawless. Naruto is always known to surprise and he never stops.”

Sakura thinks in her mind, “Geez, who knew that Naruto could act so well? But then again, he has known to surprise us! Man, we were such idiots to let him go! If he stayed, our village would have been on top of its game and he would have been a real and permanent Hokage!” Much later on, after a grand fest, Naruto and Hinata are in their own bedroom in which Hinata is wearing a blue see-through nightgown WITHOUT a bra or panties on while Naruto is wearing a plain clothing.

Naruto says, “Geez! No wonder you were complaining about that stuff, Hinata-chan. I am so not cut out for this ruler stuff. It is the reason that I left dad in charge of the empire.”

Hinata says, with a smile, “And I’m not going with being a queen, Naruto-kun.”

Naruto says, with a foxy smile, “Now, I wouldn’t say that.” Hinata and Naruto then sense something while outside of their room Hanna is trying to listen in. The two of them look at each other and Naruto then says, loudly, “You know, my mother was the Daimyo and if I find the man that dared attack her, they are going to get a Rasengan down their throat!” The two of them then hear crashing as the two cups that Hanna was carrying on a trey fall due to her body arching back at what she had just heard.

Hinata calls out, “Is something wrong, Hanna?”

Hanna responds, nervously, “N-No, Lady Hinata-sama!”

Hinata tells Naruto, in a whisper, “She knows something.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Agreed.”

Hinata then says, loudly to make sure that Hanna hears, “I know that you love your mother and all, but because of that, you are now a mighty Daimyo of your clan’s home nation! It is so perfect since you are the heir of the Uzumaki clan after all and the great nation builder, Naruto-kun! And I have always dreamed of being a queen, Naruto-kun, since my mother read me so many wonderful stories about Daimyos and their queens! If it wasn’t for this happening, I would still be a slave ever since I was kidnapped by Captain Via and her pirates and captured by the nomad after I had escaped in which I ended up in your service, Naruto-kun!”

Hanna thinks in her mind, surprised, “A slave?!”

Naruto asks Hinata, “Hinata-chan?”

Hinata tells Naruto, with a wink, “Leave everything in my hands. It will get their attention and focus more on me than anything else.”

Naruto tells Hinata, with a foxy grin, “I didn’t know that you had such a ‘sneak side’ to you, Hinata-chan.”

Hinata tells Naruto, “I had much practice with Fina-chan.” Hinata then yells out, “Hanna, where is our drinks?”

Hanna responds, “Yes, right away!” Hinata, much to Naruto’s surprise, then gently pushes Naruto onto a nearby couch. When Hanna enters the room, she is surprised to see them engaged in a passionate kissing and she can’t help to majorly blush at this. Hanna puts a tray with a goblet of wine with two cups on the table and knees as she watches Naruto passionately kissing Hinata on the neck leaving plenty of hickies.

They stop and Hinata tells Hanna, “Thank you, Hanna.”

Naruto and Hinata take the cups and Hanna says, a bit nervously, “I will pour some wine.”

Naruto says, “Thank you very much.” Hanna takes the goblet and tries to pour in which she starts to shake in which Naruto asks, curiously, “Why are you trembling?”

Hanna says, nervously, “I’m sorry, master.”

Naruto gently takes the goblet and he says, “Allow me, Hanna-san. You see, I’m not used to having anyone do anything else for me. No insult to you or your country, my dear. I have been used to taking care of myself, you see.”

Hanna responds, “Understandable, Naruto-sama.”

Hinata says, “Please drink with us.”

Hanna gives a look of surprise and Hanna responds, “Mistress Hinata-sama, I cannot…”

Hinata says, with a kind smile, “Please, Hanna.” Hanna decides to drink with them not to cause any problems.

Hanna responds, “Thank you, Hinata-sama.” Elsewhere in the castle, Fugaku, without his disguise, is looking up at the pictures of Sasuke and Itachi as a soldier comes into the room.

Fugaku asks, “Are they ready?”

The soldier replies, “They are, Fugaku-sama.”

Fugaku says, with a smirk, “This time, the wretched bloodline of the Uzumaki and Namikaze will end once we get them to confess to their crimes.” Fugaku laughs evilly while outside, there are legions of soldiers and ninja surrounding the whole of the castle and just outside of the castle as well. However, unknown to Fugaku, a female figure with Sharingan eyes blazing is observing Fugaku with intensity in her eyes.

Back with Naruto, Hinata, and Hanna, Hinata is recounting the whole tale of when first came to Gor and Hanna asks, “Oh, wow! Hinata-sama, you were a slave?”

Hinata says, with a smile, “Yes, I was! I was captured by Captain Via and her pirates known as the Werewolves.”

Hanna says, “I have heard stories about them around the court. She is supposed to be the former slave of the former captain of the Werewolves before her or so I heard.”

Hinata says, with a nod, “That’s right, Hanna-san. She proved to be my undoing when I allowed my team to escape without me since she knew exactly where to hit where my Byakugan wouldn’t notice. I had made my escape, but I was captured by the nomads and excellently trained by them. Let’s say that they put a new perspective on my life.”

Kurama tells Naruto, with a sly perverted tone, “It seems like you really have turned that girl into quite the vixen, kit.”

Naruto tells Kurama, mentally, “Shut it, Ero-fox.”

Hinata tells Hanna, “After my training was done, my new master came to the nomad camp and I ‘caught his eye’ since we had known each other so well back home. However, since I was captured and trained by them, I had belonged to the nomads, but my master fought for my collar and he won. People really did want to come after me and they have offered fortunes for me, but my Naruto-kun wouldn’t sell me off and take me away from my ‘sister’, Fina.”

Hanna asks, “He has another slave?”

Hinata says, with a nod, “More like a companion. Until I came along, he didn’t dare touch her. Before taking the position of Daimyo and even before conquering our former home, my master wandered around a lot after founding the Anatolian empire and especially after his father was completely revived.”

Hanna asks, “His father? You mean the Yellow Flash?”

Hinata says, with a smile, “That’s right! My Master Naruto-kun confronted Orochimaru several years before he got rid of that snake. Orochimaru had used the special mask to release the souls trapped in the Reaper Death Seal to try to use Naruto-kun’s father against him. Naruto turned the tables by using his Rinne Rebirth jutsu, which would normally take the user’s life due to the massive chakra drain, but Naruto had immense energy and when Naruto’s father was revived, he sent Orochimaru running.”

Naruto says, with a giggle, “Believe it. I never thought that I was see my dad so pissed. Orochimaru ran with his snake tail in-between his legs and nearly screamed like a girl.”

Naruto and Hinata giggle at that and Hinata says, “Anyway, he had taken Fina from the same nomads that trained me. After putting his father on the throne of his empire to take care of it when he continues to roam around these lands, Fina was his companion and someone to talk and counsel with. Well, it changed when I came into the picture. The instant that I came, he took us both that very night.”

Hanna asks, surprised, “He did?”

Hinata says, with a warm loving smile at Naruto, “He did and Fina and I have been like sisters ever since due to sharing a wonderful master. After becoming his queen, Fina was made a princess of Whirlpool. You see, as the last male of the Uzumaki clan and having such multiple bloodlines that he can give children, my Master Naruto-kun falls under the Clan Restoration Act and he can have multiple wives.”

Hanna says, with a blush, “I see.”

Hinata says, with a seductive tone, “However, Naruto-kun treats us both equally and he would never sell us even thought he was offered a fortune for us.”

Naruto responds, lovingly, “Never, my Hinata-chan. I just wish that we could have brought Fina-chan with us, but we need someone to remain in Whirlpool.”

Hinata says, with a smile, “Oh, yes. Fina-chan was quite upset when we had to leave her. I hope that we can make her feel better when we return.” The two of them share a passionate and loving kiss in which Hanna can’t help to majorly blush at this and even more so when their kissing starts to turn into foreplay. Later on, Hanna is reporting to Marlon about the situation.

Marlon says, wide eyed, “Hanna, are you sure about this? This is important information!”

Hanna says, with a nod, “Yes.”

Marlon says, “His father is alive and running the empire in his place. And if his father has been alive for so long, he may have gotten better. The Yellow Flash knows better than to sit on his ass.” Marlon says, “It also shows that they trust you, Hanna. Keep up the good work.”

Hanna says, with a nod, “Yes.” The next day, a group of Gupta, in ninja style outfits, are training in which they are using fire bending and swordsmanship in which Alberto is one of them and he looks over to see his sister in her ‘slave outfit’ cause him to nearly get blasted in the face by his sparring partner.

Alberto’s sparring partner shouts out, “Hey, Alberto, watch your ass!” Alberto then gets more aggressive as he attacks with more fire bending as well as some lightning. With his sister, Naruto, Hinata, the Leaf group, and Prince Marlon with his guards.

Prince Marlon says, “As you can see, we have our forces train every day.”

Naruto says, “I see that you are fire bending.”

Prince Marlon says, with a nod, “Yes. Many in the army seem to mainly fire benders, but that’s usually their primary element. There are plenty with water, lightning, and earth as their secondary element as you can see with one of my elites, Alberto. In fact, there are a few with air bending too and it helps due to the fact that air can enhance flames.”

Naruto says, “If used the right away.”

Prince Marlon says, with a nod, “But of course, your majesty.”

Tenten says, “Wow. Those swords look great. I wonder who makes them.”

Prince Marlon responds, “They are made by the finest sword smiths in the land.”

Naruto says, “Not surprising since Gupta weapons are known for their quality and numbers.”

Prince Marlon says, with a nod, “Indeed, your majesty.”

Naruto asks Hinata, “Anyway, Hinata, what do you think?”

Hinata says, “I think that they are good and all, but…”

Marlon asks, “But?”

Hinata responds, “While excellent training is good, it doesn’t mean that the training will be good in combat.” There are gasps of shock from the Prince Marlon’s guard and Hinata says, “As you know, I was a kunoichi of the Leaf before I became my Daimyo’s queen. And I have seen much combat as a ninja you must understand.”

Prince Marlon says, “No one will dispute that, my lady. We must not forget that you are a kunoichi and a veteran, that’s true, but it doesn’t mean that you have seen the combat of the elites of your land.”

Hinata says, with a smile, “Yes, you have a point. Maybe I should test my skills.”

Marlon asks, “Are you sure? Forgive me if I sound rude, but you are a kunoichi that’s true.”

Hinata says, “Then it is why you won’t mind me testing my skills here.”

There are plenty that are looking at Hinata in shock and Kurenai thinks, “Hinata, what are you doing?”

Neji tells Hinata, “Hinata-sama, you aren’t a ninja of our village anymore. You are a queen of a nation.”

Hinata says, “It is just a friendly spare and my Daimyo is a powerful ninja himself and as his queen, I can’t be weak. A strong Daimyo needs a strong queen after all.” Hinata then says, pointing to Alberto, “He seems like a good match for me.”

There are plenty of surprised looks especially from the Gupta group and Hanna thinks in her mind, in a concerned tone, “Does she know that we were the ones that attacked Naruto-dono’s mother?!”
Marlon asks, curiously, “Why him?”

Hinata responds, “I have been watching him and he seems to be just as talented as I am.”

Hanna tells Hinata, “Your highness, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but it is not a good idea. You are the queen of Whirlpool and you could get hurt.”

Hinata responds, with a smile, “I believe that they have training gear for women due to the fact that I see many female warriors in this group, am I not?”

Hanna says, with a nod, “That’s true.”

Hinata says, “Also, I have noticed that your body has developed muscles in certain places to show that you are a fender and your chakra levels are stronger than you let on thanks to my new Sage Mode that my Daimyo has helped me gain. If you believe that he will hurt me, maybe you and I should have a match.”

Hanna says, nervously, “I…”

Kurama tells Naruto, with a smirk, “Told you so, kit! She has learned on how to ‘mix things up’ just like you!”

Naruto asks Marlon, with a smile on his lips, “Your majesty, what do you think?”

Marlon responds, a bit nervously, “If that’s what you wish, we shall do it.” Marlon tells Hanna, “Hanna, do as they say.”

Hanna says, with a nod, “Yes.” Soon enough, Hinata is in her ANBU style clothing and gear while Hanna is wearing her slave’s collar with armored bikini top, armored shoulder pads, armored throng with armor plating on the sides, and armored boots that goes up to her kneecaps with armored kneecaps.

Hinata says, going into her Gentle Fist stance, “Let’s make a bet. Loser does one thing that the winner wants.”

Hanna says, “As you wish, your majesty. It works out for me. But you don’t have a sword.”

Hinata replies, “I don’t need one.”

Hanna says, “Okay, begin!” The two of them start to fight as Hanna attacks Hinata with his sword, but Hinata then causes water to come out of a small gourd hidden behind her back to come out and become a shield to stop the attack.

There are plenty of surprised looks and Lee asks, “Is that a water jutsu?”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Nope! That’s water BENDING, Bushy Brows!” Hanna attacks with her blade, but Hinata blocks with the water making sure to use Gentle Fist stances to use the water better to protect her.

Hanna tells Hinata, “You are full of surprises, your majesty.” However, Hanna unleashes fire from her mouth that causes the water to evaporate and she takes a swing at Hinata, who uses Rotation to defect the attack, but when Hinata stops, Hanna uses fire bending at her feet causing Hinata to leap into the air in which Hanna uses the change to attack her, however, Hinata uses her Gentle Fist to defeat the sword strike.

Hinata tells Hanna, “You are pretty good yourself, Hanna-san.” The two of them continue on in which Hinata uses her Byakugan, Gentle Fist, and Water Bending to counter the sword strikes and Fire Bending of Hanna.

Naruto notices Marlon tensing and he says, “They are both good. I can see why you are tense.”

Marlon asks, surprised, “Tense?”

Naruto asks Marlon, “Is she yours?”

Marlon says, “She belongs to the family…”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Interesting.” As the match goes on, both Hinata and Hanna are fighting each other on an even plane.

Alberto thinks in his mind, “Hanna, what’s wrong? You never had problems against man or woman in a fight! Why? Why is it so hard to beat her? She may be a ninja, but you are one of our elites! No one has ever forced you to use your Sharingan ever! Could this Elemental Country kunoichi be too much for you?!” The two of them stare each other down and Hanna then notices an opening.

Hanna thinks in her mind, “I have you now!” Hanna then unleashes a fire attack that forces Hinata to dodge in which Hanna charges and it looks that she is going to cut Hinata in the waist, but Hinata manages to spin around, knock the sword out of Hanna’s hands, and before she knew it, Hanna was airborne and on the ground facing Hinata with her fingers at her forehead. Hanna says, with a solemn tone, “I… I surrender.”

One of the soldiers that were watching shouts out, “Incredible!”

Another one says, “She had Queen Hinata, but the Whirlpool Queen managed to turn it against her!”

A third one says, “What a match!”

The Leaf group look at Sakura and Ino asks Sakura, “What has Hinata been doing?”

Sakura responds, “A lot of training. With Fina and I helping out, she has been sparring with Naruto ever since we left the Leaf Village months ago.”

Kurenai asks, “Every single day?”

Sakura replies, “Yep. Hinata had water and earth style chakra natures and with that, Naruto taught her how to ‘bend’ the elements with her chakra.”

Neji says, “So, Hinata-sama has gotten stronger since we last saw her.”

Ino asks Sakura, “How come you didn’t tell us that Forehead?”

Sakura responds, “You didn’t ask, Ino-Pig.”

Shino tells Sakura, “He taught you too.”

Sakura snaps her fingers and a flame appears on her right ring finger in which she says, “Fire and water for myself, Shino.”

Kakashi asks, a bit surprised, “He taught you element bending?”

Sakura says, “Just to help Hinata and himself and he felt that since I had to be dragged along with them, it was only fair that I get something out of this. In fact, he taught me how to use water bending to perform healing techniques, so, I’m a far better healer than before.”

Back with Hanna and Hinata, Hanna asks, “How did you learn how to do that?”

Hinata tells Hanna, with a smirk, “My Daimyo taught me well. Like I said, he needs a strong queen, correct?”

Naruto tells Marlon, “Anyway, let’s meet with your father shall we?”

Marlon asks, surprised, “Huh?”

Naruto says, with a sly smirk, “I believe that your father wishes to talk with me about something important. I think that it is time that we have this matter closed.”

Marlon says, with a nod, “As you wish.” Later on, Naruto and Hinata, back in her ‘royal garb’, is with the disguised Fugaku and Marlon inside Fugaku’s private quarters.

Fugaku tells Naruto, “Now, Daimyo Namikaze, I think that it is time what you are really up to.”

Naruto asks, with a mock innocent tone, “What do you mean?”

Fugaku responds, “Don’t play innocent with me. What kind of game that you are playing here?”

Naruto replies, his expression becoming stern, “Okay, then. However, let’s drop the disguise, your majesty… or shall I call you… Fugaku Uchiha?!” Naruto claps his hands and unleashes a powerful burst chakra in which Fugaku’s disguise is dropped.

Fugaku asks, with a serious tone, “So, you knew all along?!”

Naruto says, “Not at first, but you left a clue when you tried to murder my mother!”
Fugaku retorts, “Oh, what proof do you have of that?”

Naruto takes out the knife that was used to poison Kushina, takes out the hilt, and displays the handle of the knife with the Uchiha and Gupta crests in which he says, “Quite surprising that you had put a seal to try to lock the hilt into place. It is a too bad that the Uchiha are among the worst seal masters in the universe, Fugaku. Never underestimate the Uzumaki when it comes to seals, Fugaku. Plus, the other crest had an unusual additions to it and I saw a soldiers with a similar Gupta crest on his armor.”

Hinata says, “I pointed it out when I saw him earlier. He is the brother of Hanna.”

Marlon and Fugaku are shocked and Naruto says, “We also found the ‘secret nursery’ where your son was born and raised before you snuck out of the village, Fugaku. Mikoto, your wife and my mother’s friend, left a ‘little black book’ back in the Leaf which detailed the birth and what happened before your ‘exodus’.” Fugaku snarls at this and Naruto asks, with a sly tone, “And by the way, speaking of your wife, is she still alive?”

Fugaku asks, “Why does my wonderful Mikoto-chan have to do with anything?”

Naruto asks, “Does she know that you attempted to murder her best friend out of spite and the death of your son, Sasuke?” Naruto then tells Fugaku, with a foxy smirk, “By the way, the attempt on her life completely failed and she will be at full strength soon and she isn’t happy. You know how my mother can get, right?” Naruto tells Fugaku, “We must stop this useless cycle of hatred and bloodshed. Unless you can get over the ‘Curse of Hatred’, it will only led to more war and death and insane nutjobs like Madara Uchiha, whose plans I recently stopped via his puppet.”

Fugaku asks, “What are you talking about?” Naruto then explains about Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Shinju, the Ten-Tails, the two children of Kaguya, including the Six Path Sage, and how it led to Madara’s plan, the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Fugaku and Marlon gasp in shock and Marlon says, “An infinite dream world?! That’s beyond insane!”

Naruto says, “And where did it start? When Second Hokage-sama killed Izuna Uchiha in battle and that same Izuna Uchiha who was beloved by Madara driving him to this mad plan after Izuna, in his dying moments, gave Madara his eyes to have Madara gain his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Feeling that there is no hope, he was driven to this mad plan to gain Kaguya’s power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. It is the ‘Curse of Hatred’ that drives people to do insane things. However, Kaguya is dead, Obito is dead, and the Ten-Tails has been purified in which the Shinju is somewhere out there and healing itself right now.”

Hinata tells Fugaku and Marlon, “If you wish to know the truth about Sasuke Uchiha’s death, I will tell you the truth.” When Fugaku and Marlon focus on Hinata, Naruto makes a secret hand sign. Back with the Leaf group, they are at a fire place in a grand hall being watched by soldiers in which Kakashi feels something and he looks at his right hand to see a seal glowing. The other Leaf ninja look at Kakashi and he gives a slight nod in which the other Leaf ninja go over to distract the soldiers while Yamato puts a small bag into the fire.

Outside, Karin and Sennca are with a group of guards when they see strange smoking coming out of one of the fire places in the castle and Karin says, “The signal!”

Sennca says, with a nod, “Right.” Soon enough, Karin and Sennca move out with their guards while on the high hills some distance away from Gupta, there is a huge army made up of nomads led by Tao, Leaf ninja led by Tsunade herself, a huge force of soldiers and ANBU style ninja wearing a dragon crest on their armor led by Minato, and Whirlpool samurai and ninja led by Kushina herself.

Tao says, “It’s the signal.”

Minato asks Kushina, “Are you sure about this?”

Kushina says, “I’m not going to leave my boy alone in there! Never again, you know?!”

Tsunade says, with a nod, “We know, Kushina.” Soon enough, the vast army of nomads, samurai, soldiers, and ninja move out seemly to attack the nation of Gupta. Back inside of the castle, in Fugaku’s private quarters, Fugaku and Marlon are focused on Hinata.

Hinata tells them, “You believe that Naruto-kun was the one that killed Sasuke Uchiha, but the fact is, I am his killer.”

Fugaku yells out, surprised, “What was that?”

Hinata says, with a nod, “That’s right, your majesty. Your son brutally assaults me in all forms. He used his Mangekyo Sharingan to torture me with Tsukuyomi forcing Sakura Haruno to help heal me through the mental damage was done and my only harsh life kept me from becoming a vegetable. He then sexually assaulted me and threatened the people that I love, especially my family, with death. I used my Gentle Fist to destroy his heart and one final strike to his brain destroying him completely.” Fugaku stands up and his Sharingan is blazing.

Fugaku yells out, “You worthless wench!” Fugaku draws out a sword, but Naruto transforms into Six Path Senjutsu Mode and kicks the sword out of Fugaku’s hands. Fugaku tells Naruto, “You dare interfere, you brat! You are just like your father and you worthless mother! This wench has spilled elite Uchiha blood!”

Naruto says, with a sneer, “Like father, like son! Itachi was a better man than either you or his worthless little brother! Personally, if Hinata-chan didn’t kill him, I was going to for what he did! And there is no way that I’m going to let anyone hurt Hinata-chan ever again! Back down, you old fart!”

Fugaku shouts out, “I should have killed you after you were born, you worthless bastard!”

Naruto responds, “Just try it, old man!”

Fugaku draws a pair of blades from under his sleeves and he yells out, “My pleasure!” Naruto activates his Rinnegan and his Truth Seeker Balls become blades in which he uses to shatter Fugaku’s sword and creates a chakra arm that slams into Fugaku and throwing him into a wall causing a huge imprint of his body.

Marlon yells out, stunned, “Father!”

Marlon glares at Naruto with his Sharingan, but winches back in fear from Naruto’s Rinnegan and deadly glare in which Naruto says, with deadly intent, “You stay there or you will join your brothers in death!” Naruto then uses his chakra arm to bring Fugaku back to him and Fugaku tells Naruto, “I can’t believe that my mother’s friend is married to a piece of slime like you! Sasuke-teme got his traits from you and it looks like Itachi got his from his mother! You don’t know how pissed off after knowing what he did to Hinata-chan! Sasuke-teme was beyond scum! Lower than scum! And you are just like him!” Naruto then says, deactivating his Six Path Senjutsu chakra cloak, “However, he is dead and done with. And there is no point in hating each other for what happened already. Sasuke is dead and gone and I am done with him. I will not follow the ‘Cycle of Hatred’ that your clan has started since your very ancestor was manipulated by Kaguya to starting it in the first place.”

Marlon asks, “What do you mean?”

Naruto responds, “Kaguya created an ageless being through her Yin-Yang release before she was sealed away by her sons and she influenced Indra, the elder son and ancestor of the Uchiha, to turn against his brother, the ancestor of both the Senju AND the Uzumaki, after the Sage named him his heir which started the cycle and her plan to be revived which is a mood point since she has been removed from the realm of the living for good. All this hatred was for nothing and manipulated by mother of the Sage himself just for her ‘revival’.”

Fugaku asks, stunned, “What?”

Naruto says, “By continuous this pointless hatred, it will only cause more death and destruction and it will only prove that Kaguya’s way, the way of forced peace, which is not peace at all, just tyranny, is the right away to ‘control’ humanity. The only way for true peace is the Sage’s way. The way of ninshu and the way that I plan to follow.” Fugaku and Marlon glare at Naruto and Naruto says, sensing something and with a sly smile, “And if you think that you can do something to us now, look outside.” Fugaku and Marlon then look at the windows and they are shocked to see flying dragons of the Gupta forces being shot down by element bending and jutsu and a huge army of Leaf, Whirlpool, and others surrounding the whole of the city nation.

Fugaku asks, “What the fuck?”

Just then a soldier runs into the room and he says, “Your majesty! We are surrounded!”

Fugaku and Marlon look at the soldier in shock and Marlon asks, “But how?”

The soldier says, “There are tens of thousands of them! They bare the standards of Whirlpool, Leaf, and there are even Anatolian troops!”

Fugaku asks, “Anatolian?!”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Not to mention one hundred thousand nomads, my friend.” When Fugaku and Marlon look, they see Naruto wearing the crest of the chief of chiefs of the nomad tribes of Gor and he says, “I’m the chief of chiefs and I bind all of these nomad tribes together, believe it!”

Just then another soldier comes into the room and he says, “Highnesses, I bare news that someone claiming to be the advisor of Whirlpool royal family and head of the Avion council are here.”

Naruto says, with a sly smile, “Good.” Naruto tells Fugaku, “Okay, pal, here is the basic story. We are not here to attack Gupta and while tempting, we aren’t here to finish what Itachi started on orders from the Leaf Village itself. However, we plan to keep your nation surrounded and cut off in which we have the Avion people to support us on this. As long as you continue this worthless vendetta against, you and your people won’t get even a bit of bread.”

Fugaku yells out, angrily, “You… You… You won’t beat us again… We, the Uchiha, have suffered enough of wrong doings of the Leaf and the humiliation of the Senju and the Uzumaki! I’ve had enough!” Fugaku then withdraws kunai from under storage seals in his body, but he then prepares to sweep forward with his right foot in which a blade comes out towards Naruto’s chest. However, a sword impales right through the chest of Fugaku and everyone gasps in which as they look and see none other than Mikoto Uchiha, flower shaped Mangekyo Sharingan in her eyes and wearing royal queen clothing, coming out of the shadows.

Mikoto says, with a plain tone, “That’s enough, Fugaku! I can’t believe at what you have done! You attempted to murder Kushina-chan?! My best friend?!”

Fugaku coughs out blood and he asks, weakly, “Mikoto… what I did… was for the good… of the clan…”

Mikoto responds, “No, my love. You did it out of your own pride and the worthless hatred that nearly destroyed us so long ago. It has to stop, Fugaku-kun. It must end and it must end here. Goodbye, Fugaku-kun.” With a look of shock and betrayal, Fugaku collapses to the ground, dead.

Marlon says, shocked, “Father!”

Mikoto then says, with a commanding tone, “My husband is now dead and I’m taking complete command of Gupta as its queen! I don’t think anyone has a problem with that!” Mikoto then gives off a powerful aura that says ‘Don’t mess with me’ and her son and the two soldiers shake their heads rapidly.

Naruto tells Mikoto, “I think that they get the point, Mikoto-dono.”

Mikoto tells Naruto, “You won’t occupy Gupta.”

Naruto says, shaking his head, “I won’t. We don’t want to hurt innocent people and you will keep your freedom. All I want is to end this.”

Mikoto tells Naruto, “I doubt that you needed a huge army and this plan to make sure of that.”

Naruto tells Mikoto, “When protecting the ones that you love the most, you can’t take any chances. To protect my queen and my princess back home as well as the precious people that still live in the Leaf, I don’t take any chances.”

Hinata says, with a warm smile, “Naruto-kun.” At the gates of Gupta, later on, Karin and Sennca appear as they open as Naruto, Hinata, and the Leaf group come out from the gates.

Karin says, “I knew it!”

Sennca says, with a grin, “As you said: Without a scratch on them.”

Karin asks, “What happened?”

Naruto says, “Fugaku is dead by the hands of his own wife, Mikoto. She has taken over as leader of Gupta.”

Karin and Sennca are surprised and Hinata says, “And she wishes to see her ‘old friend’ who she hasn’t seen in so many years.”

Karin says, “I think that Kushina-sama will be happy to see her.”

Yamato asks, “So, is it finally over?”

Kakashi says, “Yes, Yamato. It is finally over.”

Karin looks at Naruto and she thinks, “Not just yet. Minato-sama has one thing left for Naruto to do.”

And that’s the end of the second to last chapter, everyone! Like I said, this story is really going to be real short and the last chapter is going to be the epilogue for the story. I don’t expect to make any type of sequel to this story, but if you like it and have any ideas, I will consider it. Anyway, later and best wishes, fans!
