(2 Days Later)
Naruto's team was staying at a small inn about a half days travel from Otokagure. Each member of the team was assigned a room, so they could relax and rest before they arrived in Oto. Currently Sakura was sitting on her bed with Naruto's head pressed against her stomach.
"Okay Naruto I get that you're excited, but this is getting ridiculous." Sakura said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"But Sakura-chaaan are kids are in here." Naruto whined as he rubbed Sakura's slightly distended stomach.
"Naruto you've been like this for almost a half-hour. Go for a walk, figure out what we're gonna do once we get to Oto, just do something else!" Sakura exclaimed in an angry tone.
"Kami her mood swings are getting worse." Naruto muttered under his breath as he stood up.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Sakura roared as she slammed her fist into the top of Naruto's head.
Naruto groaned before he fell to the floor in a heap from the force of Sakura's punch. Sakura let out a surprised gasp, before she was instantly at Naruto's side healing his injuries.
"I'm so sorry Naruto-kun," Sakura exclaimed as tears fell from her eyes. "Please forgive me!"
Suddenly Naruto felt Sakura's arms wrap around him, as she pulled him into a tight hug.
"I have to deal with this for eight more months," Naruto thought as Sakura cried into his shoulder. "And it's not just Sakura, this is gonna happen to the rest of the girls too. Oh Kami please take me now." Naruto thought with a groan, before he started to comfort Sakura.
"You hate me now don't you?" Sakura cried causing Naruto to let out a long groan.
After nearly twenty minutes Sakura had finally calmed down, allowing Naruto time to slip out of the room. Naruto decided that Sakura was right, so he decided to go for a walk. He quickly informed the rest of his team, minus Anko who he couldn't find, before he walked out of the inn. The Sun was about to set, and the weather was nice as he walked through the forest surrounding the inn. Naruto allowed the peace and quiet of the forest surround him, as he walked in silence.
But he stopped in his tracks when he sensed a chakra signature nearby. Looking up Naruto spotted Anko sitting on tree branch above him. He saw that she had her head in her hands, as she looked off into the horizon. Deciding to check up on her, Naruto quickly pumped chakra into his legs and jumped up to the branch Anko was on.
"Hey Anko-chan!" Naruto said flashing her a bright grin.
Anko turned her head and gave Naruto a small smile.
"Oh hey gaki." Anko said softly as she scooted over a little, allowing Naruto to sit next to her.
"So what's on your mind?" Naruto asked as he wrapped an arm around Anko's waist, pulling her closer to him.
Anko reached a hand up, and subconsciously rubbed the curse mark on her neck. She bit her bottom lip, as she debated whether to tell Naruto or not. After a few moments she took a deep breath and spoke.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to go to Oto?" Anko asked earning a chuckle from Naruto.
"Of course!" Naruto exclaimed surprising Anko. "We're only gonna be there for a little while, and if they try anything funny we can handle any shit they throw at us. Plus we're doing this for you Anko-chan. Once we do this you can finally start to put your past behind you."
"It's just that I'm a little nervous about seeing Orochimaru." Anko said making Naruto pull her even closer.
"You have nothing to worry about Anko-chan. Me and the rest of the team will be there for you the entire time. If that snake teme does anything suspicious, we'll end him so quick he won't have time to blink."
Anko smiled before she rested her head against Naruto's shoulder, letting out a content sigh. They sat and watched as the sun set in the distance. Before too long Naruto could hear light snores, he turned his head to see that Anko was asleep. He smiled as he picked her up, and carried her back to the inn. They had a big day tomorrow, and everyone needed to be well rested.
(The Next Day)
After walking for almost 5 hours the group stood before the rusted and worn gates of Oto. Naruto scanned the battered walls for any possible threats. Suddenly Shisui pulled out his sword, his Sharingan activated, as he quickly deflecting two incoming kunai.
"Who's there!? Show yourself!" Naruto yelled.
At least thirty Oto shinobi suddenly jumped out and surrounded Naruto's team.
"You're trespassing, I advise you leave now." An Oto shinobi said in a low tone.
"Please let us pass, I just wish to speak with Orochimaru." Naruto said as he took a step forward.
"No one is allowed to see Orochimaru-sama. Now again leave at once, or we'll force you to leave!" The Oto shinobi replied as he pulled out a kunai.
"Either you let me in now, or I'll beat all of your asses and find the teme myself!" Naruto said as his body was surrounded by golden chakra.
"W-Wait a second, y-you're Naruto Uzumaki!" The Oto shinobi exclaimed as he took a step back. "You're the kyuubi jinchuriki. I've read all your files."
All the other Oto shinobi gasped, and took a step back as well. They all lowered their weapons, and shot each other worried glances.
"Hey! Open the gates!" One of the Oto shinobi yelled out.
A low groaning sound was heard as the rusted gates slowly opened up.
"We'll alert Orochimaru-sama to your presence. You will find him in the large building in the center of the village." An Oto at the gate pointed out.
"Arigatou," Naruto replied as he lead his team through the gates, the doors slowly closing behind him.
"Just please don't destroy our village." The Oto nin said in a frightened tone.
Naruto turned towards the frightened shinobi, and flashed him a grin.
"Don't try anything stupid, and I won't have a reason to wipe this place off the map."
With that Naruto turned around, and started walking towards the building Orochimaru was in. Leaving the Oto nin to literally shake in fear.
As they walked through the village, the group took notice of the village's run down condition. The buildings were worn down, and looked like they were ready to collapse. Many buildings looked abandoned, the only sign of life in the village was the occasional person walking in the street, or light in a window. As they passed one building in particular, Sakura stopped dead in her tracks.
"What is it Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked when he saw Sakura stop.
"I-Is that the hospital?" Sakura asked as she looked at the disgusting building. The only proof that it was a hospital was a worn sign above the doors.
Sakura clenched her fists, and started walking towards the building.
"Where are you going Sakura?" Ino asked as she reached and grabbed Sakura's shoulder.
"I have to do something about this. That building is deplorable, who knows what kind of conditions the patients are in. So I'm going to offer them my assistance."
Ino turned to look at Naruto, he simply nodded at her. With a sigh Ino released Sakura's shoulder. The pinkette walked towards the doors, and with a deep breath she pulled them open. She was surprised when the door nearly came off its hinges.
"This is gonna be a lot of work." Sakura thought with a sigh as she entered the hospital.
"Well she's got a rough job ahead of her." Tenten remarked as they continued their trek through the village.
"Ah, Sakura-chan can handle it." Naruto said as he rounded a corner.
Naruto went wide eyed when he ran right into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going pal." Naruto said as he rubbed his head.
"Where is she, I heard she might be here?" The man Naruto had run into said frantically.
"Hey calm down man, who are you looking for?" Naruto asked as he grabbed the man's shoulders.
The man's eyes scanned Naruto's group. When he saw Ino he gasped, and pointed at her.
"You're a Yamanaka, right!?" The man said as he squirmed out of Naruto's grasp and ran over to Ino.
"Y-Yeah." Ino replied feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Can you use your families mind walking techniques?"
"Of course." Ino said in a confused tone.
"Then you have to help us," the man said as he grabbed Ino's hand. "We have several people too traumatized to speak. With your mind walking capabilities we might be able to find out what's wrong with them, and help them."
Ino was resisting as the man tugged on her arm.
"Please we need your help!" The man pleaded looking into Ino's eyes.
Ino could see the desperation in the man's eyes. She broke the man's gaze and sighed.
"Fine I'll help."
"Thank you so much!" The man said as he once again took Ino's hand.
"Hold on a second!"
The man turned to see Naruto glaring at him.
"Please sir we don't have time!"
"I don't care, you don't just run up to my team and take one of my girls," Naruto said as he turned to Choji and Hinata. "You two go with them, and make sure this guy doesn't try anything."
"Of course Naruto-kun."
"Sure thing," Choji said as Hinata walked up to Ino. "Alright let's go, and don't do anything stupid."
"Of course, now let's go." The man said as he led Choji, Hinata, and Ino down the road.
"Alright team let's get going we're almost at the building." Naruto said as his team continued their trek through the village.
As they neared the building Orochimaru was in, the village's condition seemed to improve slightly. Even though the conditions were improved, this portion of the village could be compared to the slums of any other village.
Just before the group reached their intended building, Konan suddenly stopped. Off to her left was a group of children who appeared to be begging on the street. Konan's heart ached when she saw the children, they reminded her of Yahiko, Nagato, and herself when they were younger. When Konan started to walk towards the children, Ryuuzetsu stopped her.
"Hey where are you going?"
"Those children," Konan replied as she gestured towards the kids. "I want to help them, you know brighten their day up."
Ryuuzetsu turned her gaze towards the children, and her eyes softened.
"Okay, but I want to help too." Ryuuzetsu said causing Konan to smile.
"Arigatou Ryuuzetsu."
"Hey where are you two going?" Tenten asked when she noticed Ryuuzetsu and Konan walking off.
"We're going to help those children," Konan replied.
"How are you going to help those kids?" Tenten asked as she walked over to Konan and Ryuuzetsu.
"Well I was planning on making them origami figures to play with." Konan said with a small smile.
"Yeah, and I was gonna use my Katon: Onidōrō to put on a little show." Ryuuzetsu said causing Tenten to rub her chin while she thought.
"Well in that case, I'm in." Tenten suddenly said surprising both girls.
"What?" They both replied in unison.
"Hey I can show them some cool tricks with some of my weapons, that should put a smile on their faces." Tenten said with a wide grin.
While the girls talked Naruto walked over to Sai.
"Hey Sai I want you to go with those three, and help them out."
"Me?" Said asked as he pointed to himself. "What do you want me to do?"
"Help them out with entertaining those kids. You can use your paintings to give those kids something to play with." Naruto said causing Sai to get a nervous look in his eyes.
"U-Uh I'm not very good with children." Sai nervously as he turned red in embarrassment.
"You'll be fine Sai, the other girls will be there with you. So just follow their lead and help them keep those kids entertained." Naruto said as he placed a hand on Sai's shoulder. "Plus I want you there to keep an eye on them."
Sai took a deep breath and nodded.
"Alright Naruto I'll do it." Sai said as he gave Naruto a soft smile.
"Thanks man." Naruto said as he patted Sai on the shoulder.
With a quick wave Sai left to join the three other girls, in entertaining the children.
"Okay who's left?" Naruto asked himself as he looked over his remaining group. "Okay Anko-chan, Temari-chan, Shisui let's head inside."
"Hai." All three of them replied as they entered the building.
After asking around they eventually learned which room Orochimaru was in. The four man group now stood outside a set of double doors. Taking a deep breath, Anko stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was the sound hushed whispers, and opening and closing of drawers before a voice called out from behind the doors.
"Yes, who is it?" A voice that could only belong to Orochimaru asked.
"Uh it's Naruto Uzumaki, I wished to speak with you for about something. One of your men should have told you I was coming." Naruto asked as he took a step towards the door.
"Ah yes, Naruto-kun please come in."
Naruto reached out and slowly opened the door. Inside he saw Orochimaru sitting at a large desk, with Kabuto standing to his left. Naruto cringed slightly when he saw Kabuto, and Orochimaru still looked creepy as ever.
"Please take a seat." Orochimaru said as he gestured to some chairs in front of his desk.
While Naruto's group was sitting in their seats, Orochimaru quickly scanned over the group. He had no idea who the blonde haired kunoichi, but she did have a Suna headband tied around her head. Orochimaru smirked slightly when he saw Anko, but when he saw the dark haired shinobi he nearly gasped. The snake sannin noticed the Uchiha clan symbol on the back of the shinobi's shirt, as he turned to sit in his seat.
"Wait I thought Sasuke-kun was the last Uchiha, and he died a few months ago. Who is this man?" Orochimaru thought as he eyed Shisui.
"So to what do I owe this pleasure, Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru asked with a creepy smile on his face.
Temari cringed when she saw Orochimaru's long tongue quickly dart.
"Ugh this is Orochimaru? He seriously gives me the fucking creeps." Temari thought as Orochimaru's gaze landed oner her, making a shudder shoot through her body.
"I'm actually here to ask you a favor." Naruto said causing Orochimaru to raise a brow.
"Oh and what would that be?" Orochimaru asked as he leaned back in his chair.
Naruto shot a quick glance at Anko before he spoke.
"I want you to remove the curse mark on Anko."
"But why? It can't be activated anymore, so why bother coming all the way here to get rid of it?" Orochimaru asked as he leaned forward.
"It's just a constant reminder of her past. Anko-chan wants to put all that behind her, and move on with her life." Naruto said as he shot Anko another quick look.
"So it's Anko-chan huh, very interesting." Orochimaru thought as he saw Naruto give Anko a loving look.
"Alright I'll do it." Orochimaru as he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
"W-What? You will?" Anko asked in a surprised tone.
"Are you sure about this Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asked as he turned to look at his master.
"Of course. Think of it as a... gesture of good faith between Oto and Konoha." Orochimaru said with a grin.
"So no strings attached? You're just gonna help us out, without asking for anything in return?" Shisui asked with narrowed eyes.
"And who might you be?" Orochimaru asked turning his head to look at Shisui.
"Who I am is of little importance, now answer the question." Shisui asked as reached to grasp the hilt of his sword.
"Oh, but who you are is very important, Uchiha." Orochimaru said as he narrowed his own eyes.
The room became tense as Orochimaru and Shisui glared at each other.
"Naruto-kun, do you mind explaining to me why there is an Uchiha in my office. I thought Sasuke-kun was the last Uchiha after Itachi and Obito died, but it appears I was wrong." Orochimaru shifted his gaze from Shisui to Naruto.
Naruto started sweating as he glanced at Temari and Anko. He had told Temari about his rinnegan, and his ability to bring back the dead on the trip to Oto. But Naruto knew that telling Orochimaru would be a bad idea. However he could't really see any other way around it, so taking a deep breath he started speaking.
"If I explain the situation to you, will you remove Anko's curse mark?"
Orochimaru closed his eyes and rubbed his chin as he thought.
"That is agreeable, now explain." Orochimaru said as narrowed his eyes at Naruto.
Taking another deep breath Naruto channeled chakra into his left eye. When he opened his eyes, Orochimaru and Kabuto gasped when they saw his blue tomoe rinnegan.
"Y-You have the rinnegan." Kabuto stuttered out in complete shock.
"Well it's not exactly my rinnegan." Naruto said confusing Orochimaru.
"What do you mean?"
"This was originally Sasuke's rinnegan. But when I killed him, I had Kakashi-sensei transplant Sasuke's rinnegan into my left eye. I used the rinnegan to undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and I also used Rinne Rebirth to bring back those who died in the war." Naruto said earning shocked looks from Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"So that explains him." Orochimaru said as he turned to Shisui.
"Are you satisfied now?" Naruto asked in a slightly irritated tone.
"Quite." Orochimaru said with a crooked smile.
"So can you remove Anko-chan's curse mark?" Naruto asked causing Anko to perk up slightly.
"I don't know, I think I may want some sort of compensation." Orochimaru said with a grin.
The air in the room became tense again, as Naruto and Orochimaru stared at each other.
"Fine what." Naruto was cut off when Temari stood up and slammed her hands on the desk.
"Listen here you snake teme," Temari said in a low growl shocking Orochimaru. "You said after Naruto explained everything to you, that you'd get rid of Anko's curse mark. Now are you gonna honor that agreement, or are we gonna have to force you to comply." For emphasis Temari rested a hand on top of her fan.
"I think I'm in love." Naruto thought as he stared at Temari with dreamy eyes.
Orochimaru and Temari stared each other down for a few moments. But eventually Orochimaru let out a sigh.
"Alright I'll remove her curse mark." Orochimaru said shocking Kabuto.
"But Orochimaru-sama?"
Kabuto was surprised when Orochimaru turned them around, and started to whisper in his ear.
"We have to be careful. These brats could easily wipe out the village if we're not careful," Orochimaru then turned to look at Naruto. "Especially Naruto, if we upset him he could probably level half the village with one attack. You saw just how powerful he is. So we just help them with this one thing, then they leave."
Kabuto simply nodded as they turned back around.
"We'll help you this one time," Orochimaru said as he sat back down in his seat. "Like I said earlier, consider this a gesture of good faith. The jutsu to remove the curse mark will take several hours. Also I will need complete isolation, just me and Anko."
Naruto narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"Oh don't be like that Naruto-kun," Orochimaru said with a slight laugh. "I will not do anything to Anko."
"How do I know that I can trust you?" Naruto asked in a low growl.
"Because I know what you're capable of doing, and I'd rather not have my village be wiped off the map." Orochimaru said calming Naruto down.
"Alright I'll trust you," Naruto said making Orochimaru smile. But that smile was erased when Naruto stood up. "But I swear to Kami if I suspect, even for a second, that you're hurting Anko-chan," Naruto closed and opened his eyes, revealing his rinnegan. "I will tear you limb from limb, then I will burn this village to the ground. Am I making myself clear?"
Naruto's icy tone literally froze Kabuto and Orochimaru in their places.
"Well, do you understand? Or do you want a demonstration of what I'll do to you if you cross me?" Naruto asked knocking Orochimaru out of his stupor.
"O-Of course not N-Naruto-kun, we understand perfectly." Orochimaru said with fear in his voice.
"Good," Naruto said as he turned to Shisui and Temari. "Alright you two let's head out, and let Orochimaru get to work."
While Orochimaru was preparing the jutsu to remove Anko's curse mark. Naruto decided to check up on his team, while he waited. First he went back to the run down hospital to check up on Sakura.
When Naruto arrived at the hospital he was surprised to see over a dozen people frantically repairing parts of the hospital.
"Umm excuse me, but what's going on?" Naruto asked a man that was hurrying past him.
"Some pink-haired demon woman just barged in here and started ordering us around. She's been working us to the bone for the past hour." The man said before he continued walking past Naruto.
Naruto chuckled as he walked past the bustling workers.
"Well he isn't exactly wrong. Sakura-chan can be fucking scary when she's upset." Naruto thought as he walked through the hospital doors, which were now fixed and opened properly.
As Naruto walked through the halls he spotted doctors and nurses frantically rushing around. He spotted a nurse walking towards him, so he decided to ask her where Sakura was.
"Miss, where might I find Sakura Haruno?" At the mention of Sakura's name the woman gasped.
"Sir you don't want to see that woman, she'll rip you to shreds." The woman replied making Naruto chuckle.
"It's alright I'm her boyfriend."
"Then you're one tough bastard, if you can handle that monster."
"Alright that's enough, can you just tell me where Sakura-chan is?" Naruto asked in an irritated tone.
"She's down the hall, last door on the right." The nurse said pointing down the hall. "It's your funeral though."
With that the nurse continued walking past Naruto. Shooting a quick glare at the woman, Naruto started to walk down the hall. When Naruto neared the room Sakura was in, a doctor came running out of the room, a clipboard quickly flying past the doorway he had run out of.
"GAH! WHO THE FUCK TAUGHT YOU PEOPLE MEDICINE! YOU'RE ALL HOPELESS!" A voice that could only belong to Sakura screamed out.
Naruto sighed and entered the room. He quickly spotted Sakura sitting at a desk. She appeared to be going through a stack of medical reports. Naruto cleared his throat to get her attention.
"WHAT DO YOU IDIOTS WANT NOW...oh hello Naruto-kun." Sakura said in a cheery tone, her mood doing a complete 180.
"Uh how's it going Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked with a sweatdrop.
"Oh everything's going just great here!" Sakura said in a happy tone with a smile on her face.
"Jeez her mood swings are getting worse." Naruto thought as he sweatdropped again.
"Are you sure about that? It sounded like you were pretty upset a moment ago." Naruto said as he walked up her and rested a hand on her shoulder.
Sakura let out a long sigh, as she rested her heads in her hands.
"I don't know what to do, Naruto. These people don't know what the hell they're doing. I managed to get some improvements rolling, but this place still has a long way to go. I mean for Kami's sake half the staff don't even know how to administer shots, or draw blood." Sakura said as she returned to looking at the medical reports. "Some of these patients haven't been helped in days. I've been working non-stop since I stepped foot in this hospital."
Naruto chuckle and kissed the top of her head.
"You've done an amazing job already Sakura-chan, I can already tell the place in improving." Naruto said earning a smile from Sakura. "I'll tell you what. You keep up your work here, and when we leave I'll send a message to Kakashi-sensei. I'll try to have him send some medic-nin here to train these doctors, and improve this hospital."
Sakura immediately stood up and hugged Naruto.
"Oh thank you Naruto." Sakura said as she hugged her blonde baka tightly.
"Keep up the good work here, I have to go check up on the rest of the team." Naruto said as he planted a kiss on Sakura's forehead.
Sakura sighed happily and blushed slightly as Naruto walked out the door.
After checking up on Sakura, Naruto went in search of Ino, Choji, and Hinata. Asking around, Naruto eventually found the building the three of them were in. He read the sign out front, and found out that building was a mental trauma center. Walking inside the blonde jinchuriki quickly spotted what looked like a reception desk, with a man organizing papers sitting there.
"Uh excuse me," Naruto said gaining the man's attention. "Do you know where I might be able to find Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Hinata Hyuuga?"
"They're through those double doors, first room on the left." The man quickly replied before he went back to organizing his papers.
"Thanks!" Naruto said happily before he walked through the double doors.
Spotting the room, Naruto walked inside. Naruto immediately spotted Choji standing in front of a large window looking into a room. Looking past Choji, Naruto spotted Ino. She had her hand to a man's head, with her eyes close in concentration.
"Hey Choji what's going on?" Naruto asked as he walked up to stand next to Choji.
"Oh hey Naruto," Choji said in a slightly surprised tone. "I've just been watching over Ino as she helped some of the patients."
"Where's Hinata?" Naruto asked not spotting her anywhere.
"Oh she stepped out for a minute to get something to eat, she should be back soon."
"So can she hear or see us?" Naruto asked as he gestured towards the glass.
"No this is a oneway mirror. We can see in, but those inside can't see out."
Naruto simply nodded in understanding.
"So when do think she'll be done?"
"She should be finished soon." Choji said just as Ino's eyes opened.
The man immediately collapsed into Ino's arms. She quickly set him down in a chair, and started to walk out of the room. Ino sighed and wiped the sweat from her brow, as she walked through the door.
"Man that was the worst one yet." Ino said as she entered the room Naruto and Choji were in.
"Hey Ino-chan!" Naruto said as he flashed her a grin.
"Oh hey Naruto, what are you doing here?" Ino asked as Naruto walked up pecked Ino on the lip, causing her to blush slightly.
"I came to check up on the team, while I wait for Orochimaru to finish performing his jutsu on Anko."
Naruto lead Ino over to a table in the room, and sat her down. She sunk into the chair, and let out a sigh.
"So how's it been going so far?" Naruto asked as he took a seat across from Ino.
Ino raised her head, and Naruto was surprised to see her eyes full of sadness.
"Some of these people have seen some seriously messed up shit," Ino said as all the memories flashed before her eyes. "One of the people I did a mind walk on was a little boy, he couldn't have been more than eight. The doctors explained to me that he hasn't talked in over a year, and they told me he often screams and cries in his sleep. When the doctors went to get him, he was sitting on his bed rocking back and forth. His eyes were lifeless and glazed over."
Ino took a shaky breath before she continued.
"They brought him into that room I was just in, and I performed a mind walk on him. After searching around, I finally found a memory that was most likely the cause of his trauma." Ino said but before she could continue talking tears started to fall uncontrollably from her eyes.
Naruto quickly stood up and hugged Ino to his chest. Ino's sobs started to fill the room, as she cried into Naruto's chest.
"Ssh it's alright Ino, you don't have to tell me if it's too painful you don't have to tell me." Naruto said soothingly as he stroked Ino' head.
Ino sniffled a few times before she wiped her tears away.
"No, no it's fine. It will be good for me to talk about what I saw." Ino said as she took another shaky breath. "The memory couldn't have been more than a year and a half ago. The kid was out playing with his friends, in the small village he lived in. After playing all day the kid started to walk home. But when the kid neared his house he noticed smoke rising up ahead, so he ran the rest of the way home. When he got to his house he hid in the bushes and watched, as three rogue shinobi murdered his family."
Naruto's eyes went wide when he heard this.
"The rogue shinobi were upset, because the kids family wouldn't hide them. So...so...they...Kami it was so terrible, Naruto."
Naruto pulled Ino closer as he continued to comfort her. After a few moments, Ino started speaking again.
"N-Naruto, those men burned that kids family alive," Ino said making Naruto gasp. "He had to listen their screams of agony, and watch as their skin burned to crisp." At this point Ino started to gag, as the images started to flood her mind again.
Naruto was sick to his stomach as well.
"What the hell is wrong with people?" Naruto thought as hr clutched a hand to his churning stomach.
"Then that guy I just worked on had it just as bad." Ino said as she regained composure. "He was forced to watch as his wife and daughter were raped, then murdered right in front of him. I mean these thugs just burst into this guy's home, and beat the shit out of him. Then they force him to watch as they torture and rape his family for hours. Then after that they just slit the wife and daughter's throats, and walked out of the house as if nothing had happened. All, because the man didn't pay the thug's boss on time."
Again Ino started to gag as the memories started to fill her head.
"Alright Ino that's enough, please no more." Naruto said with tears flowing from his eyes.
"Kami what is wrong with this world?" Ino cried into Naruto's shoulder.
"I don't know, but I'll do my best to change this world." Naruto said as he held Ino tightly.
They stayed like this for a while, Naruto just simply held Ino close as she sobbed into his chest.
"You should rest before you do this anymore." Naruto said causing Ino to nod against his chest. "I'm gonna go check up the rest of the team. You stay here and rest, and try not to dwell on the things you saw."
Ino simply nodded and rested her head in arms, as she laid her head on the table. When Naruto exited the room he spotted Choji walking towards him with a cup of coffee.
"Hey Choji, I'm heading out to check on the rest of team." Naruto said earning a quick nod from Choji. But before the Akimichi could walk past, Naruto quickly grabbed his arm. "Please watch over Ino carefully, she's not in good shape right now. She saw some real messed up shit in those people's heads. So try to comfort her or something, get her anything she needs."
"Sure thing Naruto, Ino's one of my best friendsso I'm happy to help her." Choji said in a soft voice.
"Thanks Choji." Naruto said as he gave Choji a quick pat on the shoulder before he walked out of trauma center.
After the incident with Ino, Naruto went in search of Konan, Ryuuzetsu, Tenten, and Sai. He eventually found them not to far from the building Orochimaru and Anko were in. They were in what appeared to be an old playground. Instead of running in, Naruto opted to sit on a nearby rooftop and watch his team entertain the children. There was a much larger group of children than before, there was at least over a dozen kids crowded around Naruto's teammates.
Konan was making intricate origami figures for the children to play with. She made animal, dolls, shuriken, swords, or anything the children asked for. Every time a child ran up to her, Konan would simply smile and form whatever the child requested. Naruto smiled as he watched the children run around and play with Konan's paper creations.
Naruto then turned his head to see Ryuuzetsu weaving hand signs. Suddenly several balls of fire appeared around Ryuuzetsu. The children watched in awe as the fire flew through the air around the white haired kunoichi. After a few moments the fire balls started to form shapes and patterns in the sky, causing the children to clap and cheer.
Next Naruto spotted a group of children gathered around Tenten. She appeared to be performing tricks with some of her weapons. Currently she was blindfolded and throwing kunai and shuriken at targets on the wall. Each throw landed with a perfect bullseye, making the children stare in awe. Tenten pulled off her blindfold and grinned as she pulled out a scroll from her backpack. There was a poof of smoke, as a pile of toy weapons appeared. The children all let out a loud cheer as they each grabbed a weapon and started to mock fight with each other.
Lastly Naruto spotted Sai with a slightly smaller group of children around him. The pale boy seemed rather flustered as the children ran up to him, and made requests for him to draw. Eventually the children started playing a game where they had to catch various ink animals drawn by Sai. Naruto couldn't help but notice that Sai had a smile on his face, as he watched the children run after a group of ink rabbits. Suddenly Sai turned around and spotted Naruto on the roof. Naruto for the first time saw Sai grin, as he waved at him. The blonde shinobi smiled and waved back before he disappeared off the roof.
After checking up on the rest of his team, Naruto returned to the building Orochimaru was in. When he reached the double doors leading to Orochimaru's office, he was surprised to see Shisui sitting in a chair outside the room. The Uchiha had his eyes closed, as he appeared to be in deep thought.
"Hey Shisui," Naruto said getting the boys attention. "What are you doing here?"
"I've been sitting here, to make sure Orochimaru doesn't try anything." Shisui said as he adjusted himself in the seat. "I just have a feeling, like that guy is hiding something from us."
"I know I got the same feeling too. Something just isn't right here," Naruto said as he sat next to Shisui. "Hey why don't you do a little digging around, and I'll stay here?"
Shisui looked at Naruto for a moment before he nodded. The Uchiha stood and teleported out of the room, leaving Naruto alone in front of the door. For almost an hour Naruto sat in front of the door, and he was starting to get anxious. Suddenly Temari walked in the room and sat next to Naruto. She quickly noticed anxiousness when she saw him rapidly tapping his foot.
"So where were you?" Naruto asked as he turned his head to look at Temari.
"I was just exploring this village, and man does this place need some serious work." Temari said as she sunk into her seat.
Naruto merely nodded in agreement, and returned to tapping his foot.
"Getting a little impatient aren't we?" Temari asked with a giggle.
"Yeah, I hate sitting still for long periods of time. Plus I've got a million things on my mind right now." Naruto said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I might have a way for you to relax." Temari said in a husky tone.
"Oh yeah what mmm." Naruto was cut off as Temari pressed her lips onto his.
Naruto was caught off guard by the kiss, so Temari quickly took control. Getting out of her seat Temari moved to sit in Naruto's lap, as she pushed her tongue into Naruto's mouth. Regaining his senses Naruto immediately started to kiss back with the same intensity Temari was using. Suddenly Temari removed her lips from Naruto's and started to kiss his neck, as she ran her hands up and down his body. She let out a short moan as her hands ran over Naruto's muscular chest.
"W-Wait Temari-chan, we can't do this right now." Naruto said trying desperately to hold back a moan.
"Relax, we'll stop right away if you sense anything is up." Temari said as she started to kiss Naruto again.
Breaking the kiss Naruto looked into Temari's lust filled blue eyes.
"Alright Temari-chan, but not here. Let's try to find somewhere a little more private." Naruto said as he took Temari's hand and stood up.
The pair walked through the halls, trying to find a room with some privacy. Eventually they found another set of double doors. Slowly opening the door, Naruto poked his head in. He was surprised to see that it was a bedroom. Fully opening the door, Naruto led Temari inside. The room was fairly large, and very well decorated with a large bed near the back of the room.
"This must be Orochimaru's room." Naruto said as he looked a picture on drawer. It was a picture of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru when they were genin.
Naruto looked at the picture with a smile on his face.
"I guess he never truly cut his bonds with Konoha," Naruto thought as he remembered something. "I wonder if he knows that ero-sennin is alive. I'll tell him before we leave." Naruto thought as he placed the picture back down.
As soon as Naruto turned around he felt Temari crash her lips to his. Quickly she led him towards the bed, and with a light push she was straddling him as they made out.
"I think it's time we get thinks moving." Temari said with a smirk, as she pulled off her shirt and fishnet undershirt.
Naruto eyes bulged when he saw Temari's large bra covered breasts.
"Hmm you like what you see?" Temari asked earning a rapid nod from Naruto.
"Would you like to see more?" This earned an even faster nod from Naruto.
Temari simply smiled as she undid the clasp on her bra. Naruto almost started drooling at the sight of her breasts. When Naruto reached to touch one her breasts, Temari quickly swatted his hand away.
"You can't touch until you show some skin too." Temari said with a grin as she covered her breasts.
Naruto rapidly started taking off his clothes. Temari giggled as she watched his practically rip his jacket off. After a few moments Naruto was clad in only his boxers, as Temari straddled him again.
"Mmm much better." Temari said as she kissed Naruto again.
As they kissed Naruto's hands found their way to Temari's breasts. The Suna kunoichi moaned into their kiss, as pleasure shot through her body from Naruto's touch. But Temari gasped when she felt one of Naruto's hands start to massage her womanhood through her panties.
"Hmm you're very excited, Temari-chan." Naruto said with a perverted smirk.
Temari smirked herself as she leaned down and whispered hotly into Naruto's ear.
"I'm ready for you, Naruto-kun."
Temari's hot breath sent shivers through Naruto's body, making his raging erection strain his boxers. Suddenly Temari found herself on her back, as Naruto pinned her arms to the bed. She gasped when she met Naruto's intense gaze.
"Are you sure about this, Temari-chan?" Naruto asked in a soft voice.
"Yeah, I want to do this. Just be careful it's my first time."
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Wait you never did anything with Shikamaru?" Naruto asked making Temari scoff.
"I could walk into that lazy ass' room naked and he wouldn't give a shit. Honestly I tried several times to get him to do something, but the bum never got the hint. For a super genius, he is sure oblivious sometimes." Temari said with a sigh.
Naruto chuckled and kissed Temari. He slowly took of his boxers, and positioned himself at Temari's entrance. Temari let out a moan when she saw the size of Naruto's manhood. Naruto looked into Temari's eyes, wordlessly asking for permission. She nodded, and Naruto slowly pushed into her.
Temari's eyes bugged out when Naruto entered her. She let out a long moan when Naruto was fully inside her. Naruto stopped moving, and let Temari adjust to his size. After a few moments Temari kissed Naruto.
"Okay you can start moving." Temari said as a moan escaped her lip, when Naruto started to thrust into her.
Naruto crashed his lips to Temari's as he rapidly started to thrust into her. The blonde jinchuriki loved the way Temari's pussy tightly gripped his shaft, as he thrust into her.
Temari gasped at the feeling of being filled so completely by each of Naruto's thrust. He seemed all her sweet spot with every thrust.
"Kami YES! FASTER!" Temari panted out as an orgasm rocked her body.
Naruto grinned before he picked up the pace of his thrusts. Temari let out a deep moan at the increase in speed. She started to meet his thrusts with her own. After a few more minutes of intense pounding Naruto and Temari were both reaching their limits.
"Temari-chan I'm almost there." Naruto grunted out as he slowed his thrusts.
"Kami don't slow down, I'm almost there too!" Temari nearly screamed out, making Naruto double his pace.
Just before Naruto released he sunk his teeth into Temari's neck. Temari screamed out in pleasure when she felt Naruto bite into her neck. But she was sent over the edge when she felt Naruto's seed fill her womb.
Naruto smiled when he saw two rings form on Temari's right arm.
"Welcome to the family, Temari-chan." Naruto said in a warm voice.
Temari looked at the bands and smiled. She learned what they meant from the other girls and she couldn't be happier.
"I would say let's go for another round, but we need to head back." Naruto said earning a sad nod from Temari.
"Come let's get cleaned up." Naruto said with a grin as he lead Temari towards the bathroom. But before they went in Naruto whispered into Temari's ear. "Maybe we could go again real quick."
Temari squealed happily when Naruto picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
After getting dirtier first, Naruto and Temari eventually cleaned up. They returned to Orochimaru's office to see everyone sitting outside the door.
"Well look who decided to show up." Tenten said with a smirk.
But Tenten's eyes widened when she saw the mate mark on Temari's arm.
"No you didn't!?" Tenten yelled out as she ran up to a flustered Temari.
Tenten quickly dragged Temari off towards the other girls. Naruto sweatdropped as she watched the other girls crowd a blushing Temari, and bombard her with questions.
"Where were you man?" Choji asked causing Naruto's face to burn red.
"I'll tell you guys later." Naruto said as he moved to sit down.
After for waiting for another hour, one of the double doors suddenly opened. Naruto went wide eyed when he saw Anko standing there.
"So did it work!?" Naruto asked excitedly as he stood up.
Anko wordlessly turned around and pulled her collar down. A smile crossed everyone's face when they saw that the curse mark was no longer there. Anko turned around with tears in her eyes.
"I'm finally free," Anko breathed out.
She suddenly found herself in Naruto's strong arms as he hugged her tightly.
"I can put my past behind me at last." Anko said as she cried softly into Naruto's shoulder.
Anko was surprised when she felt another pair of arms around her. She turned her head to see the rest of the girls surrounding them in a group hug.
"We're so happy for you Anko." Sakura said with a smile.
"I love all you guys," Anko said as continued softly sob.
After a few more moments Anko had calmed. Naruto left his team for a moments, as he went to speak with Orochimaru. The jinchuriki spotted Orochimaru speaking with Kabuto as he entered the office. Seeing Naruto enter the room, Orochimaru stopped his conversation and turned to face Naruto.
"Ah what can I do for you, Naruto-kun," The snake sannin said with a smile.
"I wanted to thank you for helping, Anko-chan." Naruto said as he bowed slightly.
"It was no problem, Naruto-kun. I was happy to help you."
"Well me and team are gonna head out," Naruto said earning a nod from Orochimaru. "I was going to try and have Kakashi-sensei send a group of shinobi to help your village get on its feet, especially the hospital.
"I would greatly appreciate that." Orochimaru said with a another smile.
Naruto nodded and started to walk towards the door. But he stopped just before he grabbed the handles.
"One more thing." Naruto said getting Orochimaru's attention. "Jiraiya is alive."
Orochimaru held in a gasp as he visibly tensed.
"W-What?"
"I said Jiraiya is alive," Naruto said as he fully turned around. "I suggest you try meet Tsunade-baachan and Jiraiya, and patch things. They both still care about you, and I know you still care about them. Your bond with them is the one thing you didn't severe with Konoha." Naruto said making Orochimaru's eyes widen.
Naruto then turned and opened the door.
"Just think about, it's important to have friends you can rely on." Naruto said as he walked out of the office.
When Naruto walked out of the office, Orochimaru lowered his head with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Maybe he's right." Orochimaru thought as he eyed a piece of blank of paper on his desk. "I guess I could at least write them, and see if they want to meet."
Orochimaru smiled as he remembered his days when he was a genin.
"It would be nice to go back to the way things used to be."
With that thought in mind Orochimaru started to write to his old teammates.
Several hours later Orochimaru had finished his letter. He summoned a messenger hawk and sent the letter to Konoha. After the letter was sent, he sighed and walked to the wall at the back of his office. He pressed a hidden button, and the wall started to move revealing a hidden lab. The snake sannin spotted Kabuto going over readings.
Kabuto turned around when he heard the wall slide open.
"Oh Orochimaru-sama it's you." Kabuto said as he put the readings down on a table in front of him.
Orochimaru nodded and walked past Kabuto. He stopped in front of a corpse on the ground.
"Are you sure we should be doing this, Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asked as he eyed the corpse. "I thought you wanted to try and make amends with Konoha."
"I do Kabuto, but our forces are severely depleted. We just need slight boost in our defense for a little while. Just until we can recruit more shinobi to our forces."
"Okay Orochimaru-sama I'm ready when you are."
Orochimaru nodded and started to weave hand signs.
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei."
The corpse started to morph and change shape, as it took on its new form. After a few moments a new figure stood in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"Where am I, and why am I alive?" The figure asked as he looked at his hands.
"Welcome back Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru said causing the Uchiha to raise his head.
"Orochimaru," Sasuke said in a low tone as he gazed at his old teacher. "Then that means this in Edo Tensei." Sasuke said in an upset tone.
"Yes, I apologize Sasuke-kun. But we needed to bring you back, just for a little while so we could boost Oto's defenses." Orochimaru said making Sasuke grind his teeth in anger.
"So you intend to use me as a weapons until you can boost your forces." Sasuke said in an angry tone.
"Not exactly. You would be the last line of defense in case we were ever attacked. Once we have recruited more shinobi, we allow you to rest in peace." Orochimaru said, but he was surprised when Sasuke started chuckling.
"You shouldn't have brought me back." Sasuke said in a dark tone, as he closed his eyes.
"W-What," before Orochimaru or Kabuto could even react Sasuke opened his eyes, revealing his mangekyō sharingan.
Orochimaru and Kabuto were frozen place as they were caught in Sasuke's genjutsu. Sasuke smirked as he unsheathed his sword, and walked up to them.
"This village will be the start of my revolution." Sasuke said as he raised his sword.
With two swift swipes Orochimaru and Kabuto's head were rolling on the floor. Sasuke's evil smirk grew as he walked towards the window.
"Time to burn this village to the ground." With that Sasuke activated his susanoo and burst through the wall.
The screams of the villagers could be heard for miles, as Sasuke cut down every villager he saw.
In the dead of the night, Juugo was nearing Oto after a long mission away. But as he neared the village, he felt something was off. He noticed animals were running away from the village. Getting curious Juugo picked up the pace, but when he finally saw the village gates he gasped. The entire village was mess of destroyed and still burning buildings.
Juugo started sprinting through the streets, trying to find any survivors. But every person he came across was dead. All the bodies were either cut to pieces, or were burnt to a crisp.
Juugo searched for hours, and found no survivors. He collapsed to his knees, and started weeping. He had just gotten his murderous temptations under control, and he was starting to make friends in the village. But now they were all done. Suddenly Juugo's head shot up.
"I have to tell someone." Juugo said as he took off down the road towards Konoha.
After running almost non-stop for nearly three days, Juugo finally spotted Konoha's gates. As soon as he walked through the gates he collapsed.
"Shit man are you alright?" Kotetsu asked as he ran up to Juugo.
"P-Please I need to see H-Hokage-sama, i-it's extremely urgent," Juugo wheezed out.
Kotetsu looked at Izumo, who nodded. Both gate guards helped Juugo up, and carried him towards the Hokage tower.
(3 Days Later)
Naruto's team was sitting around a small fire, eating lunch on their way towards their next destination. As they ate Shisui looked up and spotted a messenger hawk circling overhead.
"Hey isn't that a Konoha messenger hawk?" He asked as he pointed towards the circling bird.
Everyone stopped eating and looked up.
"Yeah it is." Naruto said as he stood up.
The hawk swooped down and landed on Naruto's arm. Naruto gave the bird a treat as he took the message. When the bird flew off, Naruto opened the message.
"What does it say, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
But everyone was shocked when they saw Naruto shaking.
"N-Naruto what is it?" Sakura asked getting worried.
Naruto dropped the message and fell to his knees.
"O-Oto has been wiped off the map."
