Last Time:
"Tobi is going to have fun.." The figure muttered and closed the vortex.
Now:
~ Somewhere Far away ~
A large imposing figure sat on a large chair, seeing the festivities of his fellow gods. "Come along, brother. You really must loosen up!" A voice drifted behind him. He turned to see his brother standing there, still in his green body suit and cape, only thing missing was his helm. "What do you want, brother?" Thor asked, slightly annoyed. "Just wondering what's got my brother in such an irritated state. Have a drink." The god of mischief said and handed him a tankard of mead.
"I'm not really in the mood to celebrate." Thor said. "Come on brother!" Loki began, but was cut off by Mjolnir vibrating on the table before him. "What is that?" Loki asked, curious. "I am not entirely sure." Thor said and picked the hammer up. It then began vibrating, almost as if trying to tell him something. He slammed it to the floor and electricity ran throughout it, making a screen of sorts. "What's going on?" Loki asked. "I am not sure Let us watch." Thor said, curious of what Mjolnir would want him to see.
~ With Naruto – In Konoha ~
Naruto grinned as he saw the incoming Inuzuka. 'This is going to be fun..' He mused as he saw the first one readying his attack. A large shield in red, white and blue slammed against his side, then ricocheted off him and hit two other Inuzukas knocking them down. The other inuzukas turned in an attempt to identify their attackers, only for an arrow to land in the middle of their group. It created a small scale explosion, sending them flying with minor injuries. The last of them panicked and turned to Naruto to take him down, only to yell in pain as their knees were shot out from under them.
All of the people present looked around in an attempt to figure out who had stopped the attack, only for three figures to appear into the stadium. Captain, Natalya, and Hawkeye stood before Naruto, weapons at the ready. "Who the hell do you think you are!" A random Jounin from Konoha demanded. He began going through a series of jutsu, only to be stopped as the Hokage landed right in front of him and punched him out. The man was knocked out before he hit the floor. "STOP! Everyone, stop right now!" Minato yelled to his forces. "The Kumo shinobi have helped us throughout the invasion. They had no obligation to or a treaty that made them!" Minato yelled.
"As such, they will be treated as allies. The Inuzuka attacked Naruto Romanov, and his.." Minato turned to the Avengers searching for the proper word to use. "His family." Captain said as he stepped up and looked at Minato. "His family helped him out. It was self defense, plain and simple. Anyone have a problem with that, they can take it up with me!" Minato yelled. "But Hokage-sama! You saw what he did to my mother!" Kiba Inuzuka yelled. "Yes, but you don't know what your mother tried to do to him." Minato yelled back, shutting the genin up.
"Sir, he holds the Inuzuka Twin Fangs! Those can only be wielded by the Inuzuka clan head!" Another Inuzuka demanded. "He obtained those after defeating Tsume in an all out fight. They are technically spoils. How you attempt to retrieve them is up to you, but know he will not be attacked by any Konoha Shinobi!" Minato yelled, ending the conversation. "Now, there are still a few Shinobi in the village attacking. I suggest we deal with them. Any able bodied ninja is to go out and assist wherever possible. Understood?!" Minato asked. None of the present ninjas responded. "Good! Now scatter!" He yelled as every ninja quickly left to help where they could.
Minato then turned to A, Naruto, Samui, Yugito, Omoi, and Karui. "We have much to talk about. You are not obligated to help, but I cannot handle this now. Please meet me in my office this evening so that I may gather my council and ninja." Minato said and shunshinned away. Naruto turned to A. "So what do we do now?" Naruto asked. " A show of faith. We help them out wherever they need it. Though I must ask, who are these people." A asked, curious about the men and women standing before him. Naruto smirked and turned to his family. "This is Captain America, my father-figure." He said as he pointed to the star spangled hero.
"This is Natalya Romanov, My mother." Naruto said as he introduced the sultry spy. "And this is Hawkeye, my big brother." Naruto said and pointed to the expert marksman. "They are the Avengers. They taught me everything I know. And they are my family." Naruto finished with a grin on his face. "Pleasure to meet you, Naruto said you were dead." A said, intrigued at the possibility of having such strong warriors and teachers at his disposal. "They are dead. These are just shadow clones." Naruto informed the Raikage, ruining the man's parade. Naruto clapped his hands and looked to the team.
"Alright Cap, I want you to go help out in the bunkers. If anyone is injured, take them to the hospital. Other than that, help keep the people calm and situated. Natalya, I want you to patrol the village through the rooftops. If you find anyone not from Konoha snooping around, disable them and bring them in. Hawkeye, you can go to the village walls and secure the perimeter. If any other Shinobi teams try anything, finish them. Everyone have their assignments?" Naruto asked the Avengers, who nodded. "Then move out!" He yelled, making the team scatter. "Alright, now where should we go to help?" Naruto asked his team. "Let's go help out at the hospital or the bunkers." Yugito said with a look that screamed 'im exhausted'. "Alright, let's go." Naruto said as he and his team left.
A stayed behind and watched them leave. 'Damn it Naruto, you just keep coming up with more surprises don't you?' A asked as he shunshinned away.
~ That Evening ~
Naruto plopped in a large couch in front of the Hokage's office. Situating people after an invasion was a lot more work than he ever imagined. He sighed and felt two weights on his shoulders. He turned to see an exhausted Yugito and Samui resting on opposite shoulders, using him like a pillow. "Come on girls, no time for a nap." Naruto muttered as he tried to shake them awake. He was suddenly smacked by Samui. "Bad pillow! Don't try to wake me up." She muttered. "The Hokage will see you now." An assistant told him. He nodded and woke the girls up. "You guys ready?" He asked and all of them nodded. "Good." He muttered and opened the door.
~ Inside The Hokages Office ~
Naruto carefully walked towards the center of the Hokage's office. Inside were dozens of Jounin level ninjas gathered. As soon as he got to the center, he looked to see the Hokage and Raikage sitting behind two desks. "Naruto Romanov." The Hokage began. "We have gotten various reports of a three man team calling themselves the Avengers helping out after the invasion and during. One helped rescue various civilians as they were being evacuated, another helped out my shinobis when they were outnumbered, and the last took out a summon and a large number of enemy forces." Minato finished.
"Yea.." Naruto said, trying to get the Hokage to reveal his point. "We would like to thank them in person. Would you call them in?" A asked. Naruto took out a walkie talkie and talked into it. "Come in guys." The doors swung open and the Avengers walked in. Cap, Natalya, and Hawkeye quickly made their way to Naruto. "I suppose these are the Avengers?" Minato asked. "Yea. Why?" Naruto asked cautiously. Minato got up and spoke. "On behalf of my village, I would like to thank all of you for what you did. If you hadn't been there, the death toll would have been significantly higher." Minato said and pulled out a small wooden box.
"This award, the "Will of Fire", was made by the third to commemorate those who truly understood the mission of protecting the innocent and their home. You group have shown your understanding of it." Minato said and handed them small medals. "Furthermore, a treaty has been reached between I and the Raikage. Konoha and Kumo are now allies, and together our villages will prosper." Minato finished. Natalya turned to Kurenai and blew her a small kiss, making the Kunoichi blush. "Furthermore.." Minato began, but was stopped as Cap walked to Naruto.
He handed Naruto the shield, saluted, and dispelled. Natalya followed suit, handing him the guns and waving to Kurenai before dispelling. Hawkeye looked at his bow, then tossed it to Naruto along with the quiver and dispelled. Everyone looked at Naruto with looks of shock. "What, do I have something on my face?" He asked. "Wait..so all of them.." Anko began with a stutter. "Were just a fraction of your power?" Asuma finished and his cigarette fell from his mouth. "Exactly!" Naruto finished with a smug grin on his face. Half of the shinobi present were speechless until Kakashi spoke.
"I nominate Naruto-san be made the liaison between Kumo and Konoha." He said, getting various sounds of agreement behind himself. Naruto let out a loud laugh, calling attention to himself. Everyone turned to him with questioning looks. "What so funny?" Kakashi asked, making Naruto look at him. "Kakashi-san, I wouldn't come back here of my own free will even if you paid me." Naruto said, making Kakashi fume. "And why not, Romanov-san?" Kakashi asked curiously. "I don't go back to places where I'm not wanted." Naruto replied, making all of the Shinobi mutter amongst themselves.
"What makes you think that?" Kakashi asked as Minato looked down in shame. "Well, I was disowned by the Yondaime himself. No offense, but if you disown your own child I have little doubt you want him in the first place." Naruto said, making Minato flinch like he had just been slapped. Various Shinobi began talking amongst themselves about the Yondaime's firstborn. Kakashi looked down in shame. "I understand, Naruto-san." Kakashi said, then turned to his sensei. 'What did you throw away, sensei?..' He thought and stepped down. "If no one has any questions, then you are all dismissed." A exclaimed as he got up.
All of the Shinobi filed out except for Kurenai, who stayed behind to give him a small peck on the lips. She then left with a large blush on her face. Naruto was unable to say anything, until his hand was twisted behind his back and a Kunai was slammed a bit below his crotch into the chair. "What the hell was that!" Yugito demanded as Samui twisted his hand "I have no idea! Please, not the pinkie!" He yelled as his hand was twisted more. Minato slowly turned to the Raikage. "This happen often?" He asked as he watched the probably-kage level ninja get manhandled by two girls.
"Not really, but it's always fun to watch." A admitted. Minato chuckled, then cleared his throat and turned to Naruto. "Naruto-san. There are a few people who would like to speak with you." Minato said, getting the girls to let go of him. "Alone." Minato said, trying to get them to clear the room. The girls and A stayed. "Anything that has to be said can be said to them." Naruto said as he kissed Yugito slowly, then turned to Samui and did the same thing. Minato got the idea and turned to the intercom.
"Send them in, please." He spoke. The doors opened and Kushina and Hiruzen stood there. "Bro.." Hiruzen said. "Sochi..is that you?" Kushina asked. Naruto's eyes widened as he saw them here. Minato quickly joined them and turned to him. "We need to talk." He said. Naruto gritted his teeth, but nodded/
~ Back With Thor and Loki ~
"Impossible! How does he know of them! They died years ago!" Loki stated as he chugged another tankard of mead. "I don't know." Thor admitted as he picked up Mjolnir "I will have to keep an eye on him.." Thor said with a hint of mirth in his voice. Loki turned to his brother and scoffed. "Glad to see you found something to keep you interested, but you know you can't go back to Earth, right?" Loki asked. "Yea, I know.." Thor confirmed with a frown. "Just checking.. he will be amusing to watch, but I'm afraid we may never meet." Loki finished and left Thor to his thoughts. 'Who are you, Naruto?' Thor thought to himself
A/N: Yea, I've been a tease. Next chapter is the confrontation, I promise.
