Chapitre 227: NLS291-300
Chapter 291
I then formed the dog seal causing the forest around me to grow larger
and larger as a large vine crept towards the cage's bars and into
Kurama's seal, "and you know what Wood Release can do to
you...don't you?"
Kurama growled, "you bastard, you're one of those cursed Uchiha!"
"Oh no Kurama," I sat up, removing the headband around my forehead
revealing my rinnegan, "I am so much more than that."
"H-how? How did you get that eye?! How do you know my
name?!"
"Simple," I release my chakra, "because I am not just another human. I
know things about you that you have never told anyone...I know you
weren't meant to destroy humanity, but guide it. I know you and your
siblings aren't monsters or tools, but you were victims of
circumstances.
"I can control you if I wish," I flare my wood release chakra, "I can do it
easily. Make you a slave to these eyes...and if I really want, make you
a slave to me. But...I know...that deep down inside...you are not a
monster...you are not the juubi, you are Kurama the nine tailed fox.
And..." I dropped my chakra and deactivated my eyes, all of them, "but,
I don't want a slave...I want a partner."
Kurama looked at me, for a moment I thought he would agree. But
instead, he just turned away and scoffed, closing his eyes, leaving me
in silence.
In the Real World:
I opened my eyes and sighed, "fuck."
"No luck?" my clone asked as he stood over Minato, slowly scanning
his body with our cellular powers.
"No," I grumbled as I stood up and cracked my neck, "I don't want to
talk about it...are we ready to begin?"
The clone nodded, "we are. Minato?"
The Fourth nodded, "do it."
"Right," my clone flared his chakra as he began to gather an obscene
amount into himself, going so far as to enter sage mode to do it. It took
him ten minutes, but he managed to achieve it in the end.
He slapped his palms together, "Samsara of Heavenly Life!"
Immediately every single ounce of chakra the clone had came pouring
out as it latched onto Minato's body. Immediately the clone's hair
turned white and his muscles began to deteriorate at a rapid rate.
I immediately ran to his side and grabbed him, but he was dead by the
time he hit my arms. And in exchange a fully formed Minato Namikaze
stood before me, no longer covered with ash, but real flesh and skin.
"I-I am alive," Minato gasped.
I sighed as I light my clone body on fire, burning everything into ash. I
turned to Minato and nodded, "stay here...when the time is right, I'll
summon you."
Minato nodded, "right!" his smile was so wide and bright, I felt myself
copying it, "I can't wait to see Naruto again! Oh how he must have
grown! He...he must have a lot of questions."
"You can spend this time thinking upon how you answer them," I
replied, "remember, we're keeping the Rinnegan a secret, so just tell
them Nagato revived you or something."
"Right...I'll think of something."
And with that I left, taking off to return to my team.
Some hours later:
It took some walking, but soon, the gate of Konoha were visible off the
in distance they were standing wide open before me, welcoming and
grand in every way possible. And now, after two long years, I was
finally coming back home.
I grinned, "come on you slow pocks! I ain't seen this place in so long!" I
charged forward.
"Hey! Hold up!" Anko cried out.
Puma sighed, "forget it, you know how he is, he'll never change."
I ran past the gate guards, who spared a glance at me before turning to
my allies and requested the proper documents form them. Sesh!
Security is really lax around here huh?
I leaped up and landed on top of a light post, looking out at the village
before me. I took a deep breath and let it out, the buildings, the people,
nothing had changed. Not even the mountain! Since Hiruzen didn't die,
he was still the Third and Tsunade didn't come to become the Fifth.
Thank God.
"Oye! Shit fucker!" I turned down to see Tayuya and the rest waiting for
me, "get down from there!"
I chuckled, "right!" I leaped and dropped straight down, "sorry about
that. I haven't seen home in so long!"
"It's understandable," Turtle nodded, "I'm not looking forward to my
reunion though."
I smiled patting his shoulder, "we're in this together Turtle, don't worry,
if they try to get violent, I'll keep them back."
Turtle, "thank you Yami, I appreciate that."
"Wait a minute," Karin spoke up, "why do they keep calling you Yami?
Isn't your name Light?"
I chuckled, "remember, I told you it was just a codename for this
mission. My real name is Yami, which I suppose there's no harm in
letting you know now," I replied removing my oni mask as well as my
face mask, "damn this thing was hot! Glad I don't ever have to use it
again any time soon!"
Chapter 292
"GWAH!" Karin cried out as her eyes immediately glazed over, her jaw
unhinging.
"What the matter?" Tayuya asked with a raised eyebrow.
"H-hot! He's so hot!" Karin cried out, "why didn't you tell me he was
such a hunk?!"
Tayuya snorted, "why would I? That would just create more trouble for
me."
"What?! There's no way I'm letting someone like you anywhere near
that beautiful man!" Karin declared.
"You think you can step up bitch?" Tayuya asked in a growl.
"Hell yeah I can!"
I chuckled nervously, "come on guys, isn't this going a bit far? I know
I'm good looking and all but-"
"-You aren't just good looking baby," Karin said in a sultry voice as
almost immediately she appeared next to me, rubbing her shoulder
against my side, "you're also so hot!"
"Isn't that the same thing?" Anko snorted.
"Shut up cradle robber!" Tayuya cried out.
"Bite me!" Anko cried back, "both you redheads are nothing more than
a pain in my ass!"
"Hey! That flute bitch ain't a Uzumaki! She doesn't have the fucking
hair!"
"You have a problem with me bitch?!"
"And what if I do?!"
I facepalmed myself and grumbled, "home sweet home."
"Big bro?" a familiar voice asked.
Immediately a smile came on my face as the three women stopped
fighting to notice the people staring at us now.
I turned and there they were, the three people I was looking forward to
see the most. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, team 7 had gathered
together it seems, and right behind them was Kakashi guiding the
Hokage himself to great us.
I grinned, "hello little brother! You sure-"
"-You're back!" he yelled as he tackled into me, his head reaching my
shoulders, damn, guess things really have changed.
I chuckled, "I missed you too Naruto," I pulled him away and examined
him, he now wore the orange and black track suit he was seen
throughout the rest of the show. Only now he also had a chunin vest
over his track, making him seem far more official.
Naruto Uzumaki, Chunin
Lv- 68
REP- 100
I chuckled, "damn little brother, you've grown," I said as I ruffled his
head.
"Hehe yeah! But not as much as you Yami!" Naruto gasped as he
looked up, "you're nearly as tall as the pervy sage!"
I laughed, "damn straight!" I then turned to Sasuke and Sakura, who
had also grown.
Sakura wore the same clothes as in shippuden, except she also wore a
chunin vest while Sasuke wore the same clothes as every chunin did,
except he had a katana hanging off his side.
Sakura Hanaro, Medical prodigy
Lv- 59
REP- 92
Sasuke Uchiha, The Last Uchiha
Lv- 72
REP- 95
I smiled, "damn Sasuke, Sakura, you both got tough. Especially you
Sasuke, you could give most jonin a run for their money."
Sasuke huffed, "of course, you didn't think we would just sit here and
wait did you?"
I smirked, "of course not," I turned to the Hokage and Kakashi, "it's nice
to see you both as well."
Kakashi waved, putting his book away, "yo. How're things?"
"I'm glad to see you are back safe Yami," the Hokage smiled before
turning to my companions and blinked, "I see you have returned with
more people that you left with."
I nodded, "this is Tayuya, she was one of Orochimaru's ninjas, she
didn't much like him," said girl snorted, "and the other one is Karin
Uzumaki," I smiled as Naruto immediately reacted.
"Eh?! Another Uzumaki?! That's awesome!" Naruto cried out as he
approached the girl, "wow! Grandma Misu is going to be so happy
about this! She always complained how I wasn't a real Uzumaki
because of my hair! She's going to be so proud!"
Karin blinked, "y-you're an Uzumaki as well?"
Naruto nodded furiously, "hell yeah I am! The names Naruto Uzumaki!
Nice to meet you!"
"K-Karin," the girl replied shyly before looking at me for help.
I chuckled and grabbed Naruto, throwing my around his shoulders,
"alright Naruto, that's enough. Give the girl some space, or am I to
believe you and Sakura are no longer smooching booties?"
"Hey! Don't bring Sakura into this! She's so scary Yami! She's probably
stronger than you now!" Naruto screamed as he nervously turned
around to see Sakura twitching her eyebrows, he gulped loudly, giving
out a nervous chuckle, "not that I mind sweetie, in fact-"
"-Naruto," Sakura glared, "shush."
"Yes ma'am!"
I laughed, "looks like the most unpredictable ninja in Konoha has been
chained down! So when's the wedding you two? And can I be the best
man?"
"W-wedding?!" Sakura blushed as she immediately began to
daydream. There we go, no more angry Sakura.
"Here's a tip Naruto," I leaned in and whispered, "is she ever gets mad
at you, just mention weddings and kids. That's the simplest way to
distract a chick."
"That is not true at all," Puma scoffed.
I blinked, "okay, maybe not for all women."
"Yami," Sasuke spoke up, his eyes flashing determination, "fight me. I
want to see how powerful you are."
Chapter 293
I grinned, "I thought you would never ask."
"Hey! That's not fair! I want to fight Yami too!" Naruto cried out, "I've
been training just as hard as Sasuke! Believe it!"
I grinned, "alright then, why don't I fight the both of you at the same
time then?"
"Hey! What about me?!" Sakura said as she snapped out of her day
dream, "I've been training too you know!"
I blinked, "I didn't realise you wanted to kick my ass too Sakura."
"Not really, but we're a team," Sakura said grabbing each one of the
boy's arms, "and we fight together."
Sasuke didn't object as he simply nodded. Wow, what a twist, Sasuke
Uchiha willing to fight together instead of alone, now this is a middle
finger to canon.
I grinned, "alright then, it's settled, in three days, team 7 versu me," I
chuckled, "and if I win, you're all paying for dinner! Not just for me, but
my whole team! Wahaha!"
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Defeat team 7!
Rewards:
Dinner!
Failure:
You pay for dinner
Do you accept?
Y/N?
I pressed yes. "Bring it on Yami!" Naruto cried out, "I'll show you! I'll
kick your butt and then I'll be one more step closer to being Hokage!"
"Well, while this is all well and good, I believe Yami has other
responsibilities first," Hiruzen stepped in, "come, I need to be briefed
on your mission."
"Yes lord Hokage," I nodded, waving to Naruto and Sasuke, "next time
kiddos. Naruto, I'll meet you later, okay?"
"Right! Bye bro!" Naruto smiled as my team and I followed the Hokage
and Kakashi to the tower where we headed straight for the Hokage's
office.
"Now then," the Hokage's face turned serious, "report."
Half an hour later:
"And this is the last of my weekly written report I had made for you on
the trip," I placed fifty scrolls on his table, "enjoy."
Hiruzen flinched, "I feel like you made them purposefully long just to
spite me."
I gave him a fake sweet smile, "now why would I do that?"
Hiruzen sighed, "fine, whatever," he turned to Tayuya, "you," the girl
flinched, she stepped forward, her back straight and her heart rate
slowly increasing, she was scared, and with good reason.
"Tell me, why did you not join the newly formed Oto?" Hiruzen asked,
"you are skilled enough to be a jonin of that village, and I'm assuming
your skills only grew with the time you spent with Yami and his team."
"I..I owed him my loyalty," Tayuya said looking at me, "he saved me.
Not just from Orochimaru's stupid curse seal but also...from the life I
would have lead as a ninja. I didn't actually want to become a ninja, but
I was an orphan and I needed to protect myself. My skills with genjutsu
caught Orochimaru's attention and...well, like I said, I didn't chose this
life.
"I thought I would have to spend it killing and murdering innocent
people. I managed my future as a nameless soldier, dead for some
stupid client I hate. But when I met Yami...he should me that a ninja
doesn't have to be a killer alone."
Hiruzen smiled and nodded, "yes, Yami does tend to have that effect
on people," he turned to Karin, "another Uzumaki I see. And judge by
your headband, I see you were from Kusa, yes?"
"Y-yes," Karin nodded, "I was."
"Then why did you come with Yami?"
"Because...because I never belonged," Karin said softly, "I was always
an outsider there...I was hoping if I left, I could find people who were
similar to me...when Yami told me he knew two other Uzumakis in
Konoha, I knew I had to come here."
"Hm, reasonable," Hiruzen nodded, "if you're sure, then we would be
happy to have another Uzumaki join our ranks. Tell me, what was your
rank in Kusa?"
"I was a chunin," Karin replied.
"Very well, I'll have someone test the both of your skills and determine
where best to put you," Hiruzen said puffing his pipe.
"You mean I can stay?!" Karin asked in awe.
The Hokage smiled and nodded, "of course. I owe you that much, after
all, the Uzumakis and the Senju clan were close, very close. Whether
or not you were born here, you are one of us, an Uzumaki will always
have a home here, Konoha takes care of her own. You have nothing
worry, if Yami vouches for you, then I see no reason to doubt him."
"Fuck yes!" Tayuya screamed, "I thought you might actually fucking say
no! Ha! Thank God!"
Hiruzen chuckled, "is she always this hyper?"
I groaned, "yes. You would think that wasn't possible, but it is."
"Very," Hiruzen sighed as he rolled up the original mission scroll for the
Oto mission, "you all completed the mission to the letter. I received a
message from the new Otokage just a day ago requesting an alliance.
A Kaguya, very interesting choice Yami."
I shrugged, "he's the black sheep of the clan. A very quiet and
thoughtful person. Reminded me a bit of Itachi actually. And he was
also trustworthy, a natural leader if I ever saw one."
Chapter 294
"Hm, I'll trust your judgement on this," Hiruzen nodded, "this mission
has been successfully completed. Congratulations all, you did a fine
job. I'll wire the payment for this mission to you all, and for Karin and
Tayuya, this will serve to pay any and all processing fees we have to
do, including housing and such."

Ping!
You have reached 10 level checkpoint! Hero maker perk activates!
Ping!
You have gained a new perk!
Flight- You have the ability to levitate yourself telekinetically.
Cost- 50 SP per second
My eyes winded at that, it was the second coolest perk I ever got from
Hero maker. The first being able to breath underwater, then X ray
vision, Wonder woman's strength, Heat vision and then lighting rod,
which was one of Flash's abilities;
Lightning rod- gain +20 HP from evey 50 DMG from any lightning
based attack done on your person.
That was extremely useful to defend against lightning based attacks,
but honestly nothing else. So yes, by default, flight was the best perk I
got.
The +60 REP scroll I gained would also be useful to gain control over
Kurama, it was much better than using Kotoamatsukami on the poor
thing.
"Now, Anko, why don't you and Holo show our to new ninjas around?"
Hiruzen said with a very deceptive grandfatherly smile.
"Yes lord Hokage," Anko nodded, both her and Holo knew this wasn't a
request but an order.
"Come on you two," Holo smiled waving them over, "we'll show you
around. We have some great restaurants!"
"But-" Karin turned to me, she looked worried, worried for me.
I chuckled, "relax Karin, I'm not in trouble. Besides, it's not like the old
man here can force me to do anything, I'm way too cool for that," I
snorted.
Hiruzen's eyebrow twitched, "arrogant brat."
Karin looked worried still, but Tayuya grabbed her and the four women
left, leaving me and Turtle with the Hokage.
"Eagle," Hiruzen spoke, immediately Eagle, the one I worked with all
those years ago, appeared next to us, "take Turtle to his room, we will
talk later Turtle, first I have to speak with my rebellious ninja."
Turtle chuckled, "good luck."
"There's no need for that, I'm not that scary," Hiruzen chuckled.
"I was actually talking to you lord Hokage," Turtle snorted before
vanishing with Eagle.
Immediately Hiruzen's face turned serious, he made a hand seal as
immediately all the hidden ANBU agents in his room left, leaving us
truly alone. "You were supposed to arrive three days ago. What
happened?"
I sighed, of course, Kimimaro's letter would have mentioned we left to
Kusa and that we would arrive soon. He probably calculated the fact
that I took a detour to Ame because of the extra time I took.
"It's because of the Akatsuki," I replied, immediately gaining his
attention.
"What about them?" Hiruzen asked, his attention now fully on me.
"They tried coming for the Sanbi," I responded.
"Yes, I heard about the battle outside Ta where a lake suddenly
appeared out of nowhere. Kisame I assume?"
I nodded, "he wanted revenge for cutting his arm, stealing his blade
and blinding him."
"I see...and I'm guessing from the fact that you're alive that he is
dead?"
"It wasn't easy, but yes, he's gone," I nodded, not wanting to say how
utterly easy it was. Didn't want to reveal my true power. I loved the fact
that people still underestimated me.
"I see...and then what happened?"
I narrowed my eyes, "I learnt what really happened to Itachi
Uchiha...how you ordered him to kill the clan."
Hiruzen's eyes went wide, "Yami...how did you-"
"-Danzo told me," I narrowed my eyes at Hiruzen, "all those years ago
when he asked me to betray you. He told me the truth, in order to
convince me that you kept secrets from me. And after I talked to Itachi,
he confirmed it."
"Yami...let me-"
"-Save it Hiruzen," I glared at the man with hate, "I've heard enough. I
understand why you had to do it, but I'm disappointed in you, so very
much. There must always be a way, especially when it concerns our
people. And quite frankly, I'm in no mood to listen to your excuses right
now."
"I see….well, then let me just say this...I am truly sorry for what we had
to do...will you tell Sasuke?"
"Itachi asked me not too. He wanted to explain it himself...and I agreed.
Don't worry, you're fuck ups won't be revealed today Hiruzen, and not
by me."
Chapter 295
The Hokage aged rapidly before my eyes, "there are many regrets a
man such as I was Yami. And trust me when I say the murder of your
clan is one of them."
"I'm not an Uchiha old man," I rolled my eyes, "I may have the damn
eyes, but I'm not an Uchiha."
"Yes, I apologize, I forgot," Hiruzen smiled, "so...where does that put
us?"
"Is that your subtle way of asking me if I'm planning on going rouge?"
"Yes."
"Naruto is my brother, Sasuke is my cousin. Sakura is my little sister,
Kakashi is an annoying older brother, Zumo is my first rival, China is
my first fan girl and Ko sensei was my teacher. Konoha is my home, I
won't ever betray it...unless it becomes something unrecognizable to
the original village Hashirama built."
Hiruzen nodded, "that is fair enough Yami. Now, what did you find out?"
"A lot," I sighed as I rolled my shoulders, "Madara Uchiha is still alive,
he's the reason the kyuubi attacked all those years ago."
Hiruzen's eyes widened, "w-what?!"
"I don't know if it's the real Madara, but he's an Uchiha and is powerful
enough to control the Kyuubi and fight Minato himself," I sighed, "and
he's very much alive."
"Have you seen him?" Hiruzen asked.
"No, but I found out about him from the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, a
man with the Rinnegan."
Hiruzen looked at me for a moment before he sighed. He then bent
over and opened a secret compartment under his desk and took out a
sake bottle. He then popped it open and drank from it directly, gulping
the liquid down before slamming the half empty bottle onto the table.
"What else?" he growled, wiping away the little liquid that slipped out of
his mouth.
"They are planning on gathering all the bijuu in order to fuse them
together to form the ten tails, a monster so powerful only Hagoromo,
the Sage of Six Paths himself could defeat it, and too only with the help
of his brother."
This time he finished the bottle.
Hiruzen then took out his pipe and put in a large amount of tobacco
into it, "what else?"
"I managed to convince Pain to stop the plan, I bought us a year where
he will try and figure out a better way to bring peace to the world."
"Peace?"
"He believes the only way the world can come together is by a mutual
understanding of pain, hence his moniker."
"Every Time it's something new," Hiruzen grumbled as he smoked from
his pipe, "every damn time. I'm getting too old for this shit. Won't you
please consider taking this damn hat Yami?"
I snorted, "neah. Naruto wouldn't like that, plus it sounds way too
boring a job. So no thanks!"
"Fine...so what then?"
"Then...nothing. I learnt that the Akatsuki might begin trying to gather
all the biju soon. They may have lost their leader, but the true master
mind, this man calling himself Madara, will carry out the plan. They will
be going after the one tails first, and then onwards until nine."
"Fuck," Hiruzen spat, "I really am getting too old."
My smile was infectious, "you know...I have the perfect candidate for
the hat, if you're so keen on getting rid of it."
Hiruzen blinked, "really? Who?"
I smiled, "before that, I need you to do me a favour. Summon Naruto,
Kakashi and if he's here, Jiraiya, they would need to see this as well."
Hiruzen frowned, "Jiraiya is in Kumo right now, but the rest I can do,"
Hiruzen sent out a pulse of chakra bringing an ANBU back inside. He
ordered Naruto and Kakashi brought to him immediately, the ANBU
took off the moment the order was given.
"What is this about Yami? Who is this canedit?" Hiruzen asked.
"All in good time old man," I smiled, "although you might want to brace
yourself, you might actually die from surprise at this point."
Hiruzen sighed rubbing his temples, "at this point, I'm willing to fully
believe that."
I snorted, "right...anyway, what's new in the village? Naruto and his
team has grown a lot since I last I saw them."
Hiruzen grew a proud smile, "yes, they sure have. Jiraiya took Naruto
for a year long training trip, he tried to get Naruto to gain control over
the Kyuubi, but sadly they didn't get far. Sakura was trained in the
hospital to become a medic, and she adapted Tsunade's medical jutsus
very well, including her amazing strength. I understand you have
something to do with that yes?"
I shrugged, "I may have given her a few pointers," this was before the
chunin exams began, I'm surprised she still kept on it.l
"Right, well, Sasuke was taken under Kakashi's wing and managed to
become a jonin in the process. Oh, and speaking of which," he took out
a piece of paper and tosses it to me.
I looked at it, it was an official document that graduated me to a full
jonin. I whistled, "damn, not bad."
Ping!
You have gained a new title!
Jonin- +40 REP from other Konoha ninjas
I grinned, "nice! About time old man! I was thinking I was going to be
stuck as a tokubetsu jonin forever!"
Hiruzen smiled, "now wouldn't that be a waste of talent. And I'm sure
by now you have become mature enough to take on your own genin
team." The last part was said in a very haunting voice, he took sick
pleasure in reminding me off my new responsibilities.
Chapter 296
I groaned, "damn you to hell you old fart."
"That's what you get for rejecting this hat brat."
"Hmph," I snorted, "whatever...but on a more serious note, I don't think
that would be wise."
"Why so?"
"The Akatsuki are moving, and Madara probably heard what I did to
Kisame and Pain. He'll be coming for me, if not outright labeling me a
wanted target. Plus, there's a matter about the biju. We should prevent
the Akatsuki from gaining them, or else who knows what the end result
could be."
Hiruzen frowned, "I see. Very well, I'll send a team to Suna with a
warning. If the Kazekage heads it or not is up to him. He's very
dismissive when it comes to his son."
Oh, yeah, that's right. Gaara isn't the Kazekage, his father is still alive.
"Send Naruto and his team," I suggested, "Naruto can get through to
Rasa, and if there's another jinchuriki, no matter how untrained, the
Akatsuki will think twice. And Sasuke's eyes will be helpful incase
Shikaku ever tries to do something funny."
"Shikaku?" Hiruzen asked.
"The name of the one tails," I explained.
"Hm, I didn't realise they had names. Do you think the Kyuubi has
one?"
I nodded, "he does. Probably."
"Shut your mouth." Kurama's voice from inside me called out. Hm, a
psychic link, how interesting.
"Bite me Foxy," I replied back, but got no response in return, "oh, I
didn't realise you were the shy type Kurama." But he didn't fall for my
bait.
"I see, fine, your recommendation is sound. Although if you're going to
act like the Hokage, you might as well take the damn hat while you're
at it," Hiruzen smirked.
I chuckled, "trust me. The guy who I'm going to recommend is far more
worthy than me."
"Hm, now I'm curious," Hiruzen sighed, "fine, the Ichibi is safe, what
about the rest?"
"Since Yagura completed the mission as promised I offered to bring
him back home to Kiri and explain the entire situation to them.
Hopefully my good will with them and Yagura's action will gain some
favour with them. Kiri will protect him...if not, we'll just have to do it
instead."
"Agreed," Hiruzen nodded.
"And as for the two tails...I'm guessing I'll pay a visit to Kumo when I
return from Kiri. I'll talk to A and B, tell them to keep an eye on Yugito,
just in case."
"Why not a simple letter?"
"If I come there personally it might make much more of an impact."
"And I'm sure the chance to meet the beautiful Samui has nothing to do
with this decision yes?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about her," I giggled, "I wonder how much she's
grown….hehehe."
Hiruzen sighed, "you're just like Jiraiya."
"Oh, thanks!"
There was a knock at the door as Kakashi and Naruto walked in. "Lord
Hokage," Kakashi nodded.
"Yo gramps!" Naruto grinned, "you wanted to see us? Hey Yami!"
"Actually Naruto, it was Yami here who requests your presence,"
Hiruzen motioned to me.
"Oh? Why is that?" Kakashi asked.
"Well...I suppose it would be easier to just show you," I formed the
hand seals before slamming my hand on the ground, "summoning
jutsu!"
Poof!
There was a puff of smoke, Hiruzen and Kakashi grew alert while
Naruto just grew curious. Slowly the smoke disappeared and standing
in the middle of the Hokage office was a man everyone believed was
dead.
"M-Minato?" Hiruzen gasped in shock.
"S-sensei?" Kakashi looked like someone just ripped his heart out of
his body and then showed it to him.
"Wait, is that the Fourth?!" Naruto gasped in awe, "I thought he was
dead!"
"H-he was," Kakashi nodded before he immediately drew a kunai and
charged forward. Minato noticed this, and smiled.
He grabbed Kakashi's hand and twisted it around, perfectly countering
the move before slamming him into the ground, a tri pronged kunai
appeared in his hand as Minato pressed it against Kakashi's neck.
"You still lean too much into your attacks Kakashi," Minato smiled.
"H-how?" Kakashi asked as Minato removed his kunai and moved
back, "how are you...how are you here?!"
"Orochimaru," I spoke, gaining everyone's attention, "he was planning
on invading Konoha with an army, his army. And at the helm would be
the First, Second and Fourth Hokage's, each revived using the
Second's Impure World Resurrection jutsu."
"B-but this isn't a resurrection! I've seen the Second use that jutsu! This
is flesh and blood!" Hiruzen argued.
"Yes," Minato nodded, "and that was thanks to the Rinnegan, which the
leader of the Akatsuki has."
"Yami, is this the same one you mentioned?" Hiruzen asked.
I nodded, "yup. After I talked him out of trying to destroy the world he
decided to reward me and brought back Minato as a gift...which I
honestly think is kind of sweet."
"Woah! There's a guy out there who can bring back the dead? That's
so cool!" Naruto blinked, "this is pretty cool huh sensei! You're old
sensei is back!"
I blinked, "wait...Naruto...you do know who this guy is right?" I pointed
at a similarly surprised Minato.
Chapter 297
"Ah yeah I do! This is the Fourth right! He's the guy who sealed the
kyuubi inside of me. Hey! Why did you do that anyway! That's such a
shitty move man!"
Minato blinked, "well, you see-"
"-Hold up!" I cried out, "you're telling me...after all this time, you still
haven't figured it out?"
Naruto blinked, "figured what out?"
"You….idiot!" I cried out, "it's been three fucking years and you still
don't know who he is?! How stupid can one person be?! You basically
look exactly the same!"
"Stop yelling at me you asshole! Just tell me what's so important!"
I grumbled face palming myself before drawing a paint brush, "Minato,
come here."
The Fourth sighed, "is that really necessary?"
"He's a fuckign moron, I wouldn't be suprised if he still didn't get it," I
quickly drew three whisker marks on either side of Minato's face before
stepping back and presenting it to Naruto, "there, now do you get it?!"
Naruto blinked, five seconds, he blinked again, ten seconds,
and…."ARGH!"
I sighed, "thank God."
"Your-your-"
Minato chuckled, "that's right...I'm your dad Naruto."
Naruto's eyes began to tear up, Kakashi, Hiruzen and I stepped back
letting them have their privacy. We watched as Naruto cried, walking
towards Minato slowly. The man smiled and moved to huge Naruto.
"You bastard!", the Uzumaki stopped mid step and launched a punch
right at Minato's face, knocking him flat on his ass.
"Nice," I grinned.
"W-what?" Minato blinked, completely confused.
"Why did you put that damn fox inside of me?!" Naruto asked with tears
in his eyes, "do you know how much I had to go through?! How much I
had to suffer?! Why me?!"
Minato's eyes grew heavy as he slowly got on his feet, "I know...I'm a
shitty dad. But...I'm also the Hokage, if I wasn't willing to sacrifice my
own son, how could I possibly ask someone to sacrifice theirs."
Naruto sniffed, "I-I guess."
"Plus," Minato rubbed Naruto's hair playfully, "you're my son. I knew
you could take it."
Naruto blinked as hope slowly melted into him. He smiled, "yeah!"
Turned to Hiruzen, "so...what do you say? Is he a good enough
candidate for Hokage or what?"
In response Hiruzen just took out another bottle of sake and emptied it
wholey.
It took a long time to convince Naruto that his father was really back.
And then, Minato told the about 'Madara', the real reason why the
kyuubi attacked and most importantly for Naruto, that he was really,
truly back.
"Minato," Hiruzen spoke after the three hour long reunion ended, "I am
glad that you've returned," he smacked the hat on Minato's head,
"enjoy the paperwork. Because I am sure there will be a room full of it,
once we tell everyone that you've returned."
Minato gulped, "ah, can't I-"
"-No," Hiruzen glared, "I've been Hokage well past my prime, no longer.
You're the Fourth, you have a pulse. I'll take care of the legal
documents and everything else, I'll even break the news to everyone
else, but that will be my last act in this office. Congratulations, you got
the job...again."
"What?! That's no fair! I was going to be the next Hokage!" Naruto
cried out.
Minato chuckled, "if you want, you can help me with the paperwork."
"You mean it dad?! Deal!" Naruto said excitedly, eager to do Hokage
work and spend time with his dad. However going through the mind of
every other individual in the room was one thought, 'sucker'.
That night Minato came with us to my place, Naruto and him eagerly
talking about Naruto's life and the happenings. I just stayed quiet,
letting the father and son have their moment.
Karin and Misu got along great, the old Uzumaki took great joy in
telling Karin about her heritage, and the younger redhead enjoyed the
fact that she wasn't alone anymore.
They were a little shocked to have Minato alive again. They asked for
details, but the Third decided to rank it an S rank secret, so we couldn't
give out any details. It was an awkward dinner that night, Naruto
constantly chatting up a storm while Karin did her best to cozy up to
me.
That night Minato and Naruto slept in my apartment, while Misu and
Karin used Naruto's and Misu's apartment. It was a tight fit, but since I
just kept to my lab, we managed to make it work.
While father and son spent the night chatting away, afraid to fall asleep
incase something happened to the other before they woke up, I began
working in my lab.
I had to modify it a little before it became similar to a meditation room,
filled with incense and other such aromas. I placed a mat in the middle
of the room and sat down.
I opened my inventory and took out the +60 REP scroll and used it on
Kurama, turning it's REP score from -100, to -40. I then closed my eyes
and entered my mindscape.
Chapter 298
Once more I found myself in the park of chakra in my mind. I traveled
to the giant mountain in the center and sat down by the entrance.
Kurama opened a single eye and noticed me, scoffing, he said nothing
before going right back to sleep.
I sighed, "I don't want a slave, I want a friend. So, I realised I have to
earn that friendship. So," I took a deep breath and let it out, "tonight I'll
tell you the story of Luke Skywalker, the orphan boy raised by farmers
and the war he had to face."
Kurama opened one eye, "you're wasting your time boy."
I grinned, "maybe. But I have to try. Now, in a land far far away, there
was a ship that was being chased by the naval vessel of the dreaded
Empire, the ruthless army that conquered half the world through
bloodshed and betrayal. And on this small little ship was a woman, a
princess my the name of Lea, a woman who held in her hands the
plans to the Empire's newest war machine, the Death Star…."
The next day:
The people gathered around the hokage tower quickly, they were eager
and chattering up a storm. The Third had ordered an assembly of all
the village's people, claiming it was a state emergency.
Everyone as here, form the civilians to the academy students to even
even present ninja, on a hiatus period or on the active roster. Even the
clan heads had been summoned, though they were allowed to be on
the roof of the hokage tower instead of with everyone else on the
ground.
"What do you think is about?" the head of the Yakama clan asked the
jonin commander Shikaku Nara.
The man yawned with a shrug, "no clue, the old man was pretty tight
lipped about it."
I stood off in the distance with my team by my side, each of us silent,
though Anko was fidgeting in curiosity.
And then, the door to the roof opened as two figures dressed in white
robes with red highlights walked through and following right behind
them was Naruto and Kakashi.
People gasped at the sight of the person before them. Minato smiled,
"hello, it's nice to see you all again."
"M-Minato?" Asuma asked before snapping to the Third, "father is it
really-"
Hiruzen nodded, "yes Asuma, it is."
"B-but how?" the Hyuuga head, Hinata's father, asked.
"Orochimaru was planning on using the Second's impure world
resurrection jutsu to bring him back," Hiruzen explained, "when I sent
out Yami," he motioned to me causing everyone to pare me a glance,
"he found Minato's body being ready for revival. Using an S ranked
secret method Yami was able to bring Minato back. He isn't just a
corpse anymore, he's alive. He's back."
The elders and clan head were in shock. Minato chuckled as he
walked past them and walked to the edge of the roof. The people
slowly began to notice him. And then, they lost it.
It took a whole day, but they finally began to understand what
happened. That night thought, they celebrated.
And the next day, it was judgement day. I still remember it, Naruto and I
were at a grocery store to buy something to eat, we had skipped
breakfast that day, focusing on training, and I refused to have ramen
constantly.
We brought our groceries for checking out when the manager charged
us three times the asking price. And that was when Minato came in.
It was scary to say the least. The man was merciless with the
shopkeeper. He had physically grabbed him and thrown him out of the
shop for calling his son worthless and when people began to gather
around and asked Minato why he protected the 'thing' that once killed
him, well, let's just say a few pants had turned brown.
That night the village was hit with a second rumour, the one about
Naruto being Minato's son. Immediately several people had come to
our apartment on their knees begging for forgiveness, it had gotten so
bad I used a minor fire release jutsu to light their behinds on fire,
sending them running away, screaming at the top of their lungs.
Three days later:
I sighed as I stretched my arms and legs, "remind me again why I
agreed to do this?"
Sasuke glared, "to show me how much stronger you've gotten."
"Right...can't we just like play rock paper scissors or something?"
"No."
"Hell no!" Naruto cried out, his smile brighter than normal, "I'm going to
be the next hokage! And there's no way I can do that without defeating
you first Yami! Isn't that right dad?!"
We were all standing in training field seven. I and team seven stood
facing each other while Minato, Kakashi, Hiruzen, Tayuya and Karin
stood off in the side lines.
Minato chuckled, "that's right."
"I still don't understand how that's possible," Sakura murmured, "isn't
he dead?"
"In this world Sakura, you just kind of roll with it," I sighed, "now then,
how are we going to do this? One at a time? Or all at once?"
"Don't underestimate us," Sasuke drew his blade as Sakura put on her
fighting gloves and Naruto formed twenty clones.
"Well then...what are we waiting for?" I grinned as I drew a kunai,
"come at me punks."
Chapter 299
"Yosh! Take this!" Naruto charged along with his clones. They began
attacking me with kunai and shuriken as they slipped into the
Disturbance style, leaping all around me in quick successions, doing
their best to distract me and get a hit in.
"Naruto!" Sakura called out as she charged forward.
"Right!" a few clones remained while the rest leaped away. They
attacked my side, keeping me in place, defending against them while
Sakura managed to get close enough to threw a fist back and launch it
into the ground.
"SHANNARO!" she cried out as the entire battle field exploded,
throwing huge piles of rocks into the air, with me along with them.
"Damn," I gasped as I leaped from rock to rock, going with the upward
force, "that's one impressive-"
"Kenjutsu: Uchiha style, searing flames," Sasuke's blade moved in a
flash of silver. I had just enough time to block it with a kunai before
managing to land a kick on his side and push him back, the both of us
landing on opposite sides of the field.
"Damn, not bad," I replied, "if I was anyone else that sword strike would
have cut off my head."
"Tsck," Sasuke hissed, "he's too fast."
"And that's him without his Swift Release," Naruto replied as he eyed
me.
"Those eyes, their serious huh little brother," I grinned as I cracked my
neck, "fine then. Let's begin. The first lesson of today."
I vanished from their view, Sakura grew to a panic as she looked
around desperately, only Sasuke seemed to notice me as he
immediately turned around and drew his blade just in time to stop
Kusanagi from cutting off his head.
TING!
The Uchiha gasped as slowly my blade cut into his, slicing it off
millimeter by millimeter. He tried to move away, disengaging from the
fight when I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder and into
a tree.
"You need to be quicker," I put away my blade and launched a kick into
NAruto's gut, sending him into his clones, the force from the kick
dispelling them all upon impact.
I turned to Sakura, she charged forward, fist ready. I grinned, if it was a
test of strength she wanted, I would gladly give it to her.
Wonder Woman's Strength activated!
I charged up my fist and rushed forward, a fist drawn. We were about
to clash when at the last moment I grabbed her right fist with my left
arm and twisted, pushing her into the ground.
SNAP!
"GRAH!" Sakura cried out, her shoulder had been dislocated.
"Sakura!" NAruto cried out as he and Sasuke immediately charged at
m. The Uchiha was faster as he slashed at my head with his blade. I
held up a fist and caught the blade in my hand, squeezing hard enough
to snap the blade in half.
"What the hell?" Sasuke asked, unbelieving at what just happened.
"Hands off!" Naruto charged in with ten clones. I immediately
disengaged from Sakura and Sasuke and focused on the clones,
allowing NAruto to take his team mates to safety.
It took me a minute to fight off all the clones, but by that time the three
members of team 7 had vanished into the scenery, probably off
planning their next step. I could easily track them with their chakra
signatures, but I decided to allow the kids some breathing space, they
would need it.
"He's not following them?" I heard Hiruzen ask allowed.
"He's giving them a chance to win," Kakashi observed.
"That's kind of stupid," Tayuya snorted, "isn't the point of this whole
thing supposed to be who's stronger?"
"Well if that's the case I doubt those three would have lasted as long as
they did," Minato noted, "no, I'm guessing Yami is more curious as to
how far they have grown rather than who's stronger."
"Hm, from what you're saying you believe Yami there is stronger than
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura combined?" Hiruzen asked.
Minato nodded, "without a doubt."
"How strong?" Kakashi asked looking up from his book.
"He's the strongest ninja I have ever met," Minato declared, "definitely
stronger than me."
I chuckled, "oh come on Minato, you're making me blush!"
"Doesn't mean it isn't true," Minato smiled.
Just then I felt them move. Naruto and a small clone army of his was
heading towards me while Sasuke and Sakura were circling me in a
pincer formation. This should be interesting enough.
Naruto exploded out of the tree lines and appeared before me. I smiled
at the sight of him and his clones, "alright, did you guys form a plan
yet?"
"You bet we did!" NAruto grinned as he made a hand seal, "it's time to
show you the results of my hard work."
I smiled, "alright then, show me what you got!" I got ready to move in
an instant, I was ready for whatever he had, whatever-
"Sexy Harem jutsu!" Naruto cried out as the entire forest was covered
in a puff of smoke and standing in the army of clones was an army of
large breasted blondes, smoke covering their privates and a lusty
wanting look in their eyes.
Chapter 300
"Master Yami," they moaned, "what do you think?"
I blinked, "disgusting."
"W-what?!" the real on cried out, "what do you mean?!"
"Did he actually grow up?" Sakura whispered to a surprised Sasuke.
"All this time...and you still have only learnt this much?" I snorted, "I'm
disappointed in you NAruto. I thought you would have changed. Here,
let me show you the true power of the sexy jutsu!" I created a hand
seal, releasing a puff of smoke.
"What the fuck?!" Minato cried out.
"Oh my," Kakashi blinked.
Hiruzen said nothing as a single stream of blood flew down his nose.
"T-that bastard!" Tayuya cried out.
Standing in my place was a woman with the combined forms of
Sakura, Tayuya, Karin and Kushina. She had Kushina's face, Karin's
eyes, Tayuya's hair and Sakura's body and wore nothing but a bikini.
"Woah," Naruto said as hearts grew on his eyes, "that's awesome!"
"You see big boy, being sexy just isn't enough," I pulled the string
around my neck, teasing the pair of firm breasts underneath, "you need
to make sure the form you pick is perfect for your victim. I made this
one with the combined features of your mother, Karin, Tayuya and
Sakura. So? What do you think?" I threw the top off making NAruto
turn red.
"I-It's perfect!" Naruto cried out as his clone popped from shock, the
henge dropping immediately, revealing the real Naruto with swirls in his
eyes, "so sexy..."
"That boy has issues," Minato grumbled.
"Shannaro!" Sakura cried out as she leaped right at me, a fist colliding
with the ground to destroy the landscape yet again.
"I haven't forgotten about you Sakura," I smiled as I jumped and landed
away, quickly forming ten shadow clones before smoking, "in fact, I've
been making this jutsu just for you! Reverse harem jutsu!"
There was a large puff of smoke as suddenly Sakura found herself
surrounded by naked men, each comprised to look like versions of
Sasuke or Naruto, and with a few of my features mixed in as well.
"Wha…." Sakura's eyes glossed over for a second, a single stream of
blood dripping from her nose. And that moment was all I needed.
"Got you!" I hit her behind the neck knocking her out. I picked her up
and tossed her over to NAruto who was still unconscious at this point.
"Now then," I turned to see Sasuke, "shall we dispel the stupid shadow
clone act?"
Sasuke smirked, "I told him you wouldn't fall for it," Sakura and Naruto
exploded into smoke as the real pair appeared next to Sasuke, both
blushing red, but not worse for ware. "That's the problem when fighting
a sensor," Sasuke explained as they got ready for the real fight, "you
never can trick them."
"I have to admit big bro, you've taken the sexy jutsu to new heights!"
Naruto grinned giving me a thumbs up.
"Stop complimenting him on that perverted jutsu idiot!" Sakura cried
out.
"It was effective," Sasuke snicckered.
"See! Even Sasuke liked it!" Naruto smiled.
"Whatever," Sakura looked away, blushing up a storm.
"Right then," I drew my blade, "shall we fight for real now? Or are we
just going to sit around and chat?"
"Right!" Naruto cried out as he moved through hand seals, "Wind
Release: Great Breakthrough!"
I leaped up and allowed the wind to push me back, riding the wind as I
was pushed further and further back.
"Fire Release: Great Annihilation."
"Fuck," I grumbled as Sasuke's own attack came forward, mixing with
NAruto's, causing a wave of fire to come rushing right at me.
"Scorch Release: Helix dome!" I spat out a glob of fire which
immediately spread around me like a ball of flames. Immediately the
attacking flames were absorbed by my protective dome of fire,
strengthening it it greater levels.
"You can't hide from me! Earth Release: Earth armour!" Sakura
encapsed her fists with rocks and brought her fist down on top of the
helix dome.
-1,500!
Helix Dome: 300/ 1,800
"Shannaro!" she punched the dome once more, this time shattering it,
revealing a shadow clone I had left inside. The clone held Kusanagi up,
Sakura's eyes widened as it instantly grow it stab her in the heart, only
for NAruto to come in at the last moment in a flash of yellow light, gra
her, and vanish, all in the time it took for one to clap their hands.
Naruto and Sakura appeared next to Sakura. I whistled, clapping my
hands slowly, dismissing the clone that tried to kill Sakura, "I didn't
realise you figured out that jutsu already Naruto."
"Grandma Misu helped," Naruto grinned as he healed up a tri pronged
kunai.
Minato blinked, "h-he mastered the Flying Lighting God?"
"And he did it without realising it was his birthright," Kakashi added in,
"he said since it was something Yami figured out, he should be able to
do it too. Kid got through with pure determination."
"Chidori," Sasuke called out, sending out a blast of lightning through
his blade right at me. It came like a blade of lighting, and if I had been
just a moment slower he would have blow a hole through my head.
"Oh, so now it's time for ninjutsu huh?" I smirked forming five clones,
one out of Earth, Water, Wood, Shadow and Ice, "let them have it
boys!"
"Right!" the clones called out as they launched themselves at team
seven, each going through hand seals.
