章節 29: Chapter 29
Kakashi?" Obito said as he stared at his friend. Then Obito turned his gaze and he saw Rin standing right next to him.
"We're alive." Rin whispered as she looked at Obito.
Suddenly Rin and Obito felt Kakashi pull them into a crushing hug. Rin felt a few tears hit the back of her shirt.
"Rin, Obito I'm so happy you're alive." Kakashi said as he tightly held his teammates.
Kakashi then turned his gaze to Naruto who was watching them as he panted slightly.
"Thank you Naruto." Kakashi said as all eyes turned to Naruto.
"GAKI!" Jiraiya said as he spun around to see his student standing behind him.
"H-Hey ero-sennin." Naruto said with a grin as he tried to catch his breath. "O-Oh and ero-sennin you're fucked up. D-Don't let me see you do anything like that again."
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
"I saw what you were looking at in the mist." Naruto said with frown.
Jiraiya's started to sweat when he heard this.
"Don't worry I'm not mad, I'm just a little weirded out. I suggest you go find baachan, ero-sennin she'll want to see you the most."
Jiraiya nodded and walked towards the window.
"Kakashi I'll speak with you later." Jiraiya said as he jumped out the window in search of Tsunade.
"So it was you who brought me back to life." Asuma said as he pulled out a cigarette, but when he went to light it he couldn't find his lighter.
"Right I gave it to Shikamaru."
"Of course I brought you back Asuma-sensei. I couldn't let Kurenai-sensei raise that kid on her own."
Asuma's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Go find her Asuma, I'll send Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji over in a bit."
Asuma flashed Naruto a quick smile before he ran out the office to find Kurenai. Naruto then turned to see Itachi and the other mystery man staring at him.
"So this is the Naruto you were talking about." The man said.
"Yes this is Naruto-kun."
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Naruto said as he gestured to the mystery person.
"Oh! I'm Shisui Uchiha." The newly named Shisui said with a smile.
"You're Shisui!?"
"Naruto-kun why did you bring Shisui and I back to life?"
"Well I brought you back to life, because this village deserves to know the truth behind the Uchiha massacre. Plus I felt you deserved a second chance," Naruto said before he gestured to Shisui. "And I brought him back, because I saw you talking with him. So I figured you were close friends and I didn't want you to come back without any family."
"Okay that's understandable," Itachi said as he closed his eyes. "So what happened with Sasuke-kun?"
Naruto sighed before he took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Itachi I had to kill Sasuke," Naruto watched as Itachi's eyes widened for a moment before he regained his composure. "He was planning to kill the bijuu, all the kage, and me. Then the worst thing was, he killed my teammate Sakura, the girl I love. After that I had no remorse for him. I chased him down and I killed him. I'm sorry Itachi, I failed you."
Naruto was on the verge of tears, but he stopped when he felt and hand on his shoulder. He opened his eyes to see Itachi looking at him.
"Don't be upset Naruto-kun, you didn't fail. Sasuke-kun was beyond saving, with his death you freed him from his darkness."
"Thanks Itachi," Naruto said as he looked at the last two Uchiha. "Well I have to get going, so I'll leave you with Kakashi-sensei, oh I mean Hokage-sama. See you soon Itachi, Shisui."
Naruto then walked out the door in search of Team 10. As Naruto walked out of the tower he could hear Obito's yell from the street.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS BASTARD IS HOKAGE!?"
Naruto used his Hiraishin to teleport around the village. He first told each of his girls about their mission and that they needed to pack. The last girl he need to tell was Ino. He teleported right in front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop and walked in the door. He saw Ino rearranging some flowers as he walked into the shop.
Ino nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt a pair of arms around her waist. She whipped her head around to see Naruto resting his head on her shoulder.
"Oh Naruto-kun you startled me." Ino said as she gave her boyfriend a quick kiss. "Why are you here?"
"Well Ino-chan, Kakashi-sensei gave me a mission as a part of my Hokage training. I'm to travel to each of the major shinobi villages to check up on their current situation. And Kakashi is allowing me to bring you girls along with me."
Ino's eyes lit up at the prospect of traveling with Naruto and the other girls.
"So I need you to pack and get ready," Naruto said as he released Ino from his grasp. "But before you do head over to Kurenai-sensei's house."
"What? Why?" Ino said in a confused tone.
"Just trust me Ino-chan you'll be in for a surprise when you get there." Naruto said cryptically before he teleported out of the shop to get the remaining members of Team 10.
Kurenai had just set her daughter down for a nap when she heard a few knocks at her door. But as she neared the door a familiar scent hit her nose.
"Cigarette smoke, it's probably Shikamaru." Kurenai thought as she opened the door.
"Shikamaru what can I do." Kurenai stopped dead when she saw when who was standing in her doorway. "A-Asuma!"
"Yeah Kurenai it's me."
"H-How are you alive? I saw your body, you were dead."
"You can thank Naruto. He's the one who brought me back." Asuma said as Kurenai pulled him into a hug, tears streaming down her face.
"I can't believe you're back." Kurenai said as she cried into Asuma's shoulder.
"Yeah I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere this time." Asuma said as he held Kurenai closer.
Then from the other room Asuma heard a shrill cry.
"Is that?" Asuma said as he looked past Kurenai towards where the cries were coming from. Kurenai nodded her head in response. "C-Can I see her."
"Of course she's your daughter after all." Kurenai said as she led Asuma to where their daughter was lying down. Asuma quickly put out his cigarette before he followed Kurenai.
When they arrived in the room, Asuma looked down at the crying child. He turned to Kurenai and she nodded, so he gently picked up his daughter and cradled her in his arms. Instantly the girl stopped crying as Asuma slowly rocked her back and forth.
"She's beautiful." Asuma said as he looked down at his child, who had fallen back asleep.
"Yeah she is." Kurenai said as she wrapped her arms around Asuma's waist.
As Kurenai and Asuma stood in each others embrace, a few knocks came from the door.
"I'll get it, you should spend some more time with your daughter." Kurenai said as she planted a quick kiss on Asuma's cheek before she walked towards the door.
Ino had just arrived at Kurenai's home when she spotted Shikamaru and Choji already standing outside the door.
"Hey Shika, Choji!" Ino said happy to see her teammates. "What are you two doing here?"
"Naruto told me to come her. He said it was really important. " Choji said as he ate a handful of chips.
"Same here, and he woke me from my nap so this better be really important." Shikamaru replied as he stifled a yawn.
"Well knock on the door you lazy ass."
"Ugh this is so troublesome." Shikamaru said as he raised his arm and lazily knocked on the door.
After a few moments Kurenai answered the door with a big smile on her face. When she saw Team 10 standing there her eyes widened.
"Ino, Shikamaru, Choji get in here now!" Kurenai said as she dragged all three of them into her home.
"Kurenai-sensei what's the big deal!?" Ino asked as Kurenai continued to drag them through her home.
She stopped dragging them outside a closed door.
"Open the door."
Shikamaru reached out and opened the door slowly. The members of Team 10 spotted a lone figure standing in the room. When the person turned around they all gasped.
"Hey you three." Asuma said with a big smile.
Ino hesitantly walked forward and touched Asuma on the shoulder.
"You are real!" Ino yelled out as she hugged Asuma.
Asuma let Ino hug him as he looked at the two remaining members of Team 10. Choji had dropped his bag of chips and was stuttering incoherently as he fought back tears.
"Wha...How...Why?"
Then Shikamaru spoke up.
"It was Naruto wasn't it?"
"You're as smart as ever Shikamaru." Asuma said as he grinned at his student.
Shikamaru walked up to Asuma and pulled out his lighter.
"I believe this is yours."
Asuma looked at the lighter and shook his head.
"No, you keep it. If I want to raise this kid I can't be smoking around her."
Shikamaru smiled as he and Choji joined Ino in hugged Asuma.
"Hey why don't we all head out for barbecue, like old times."
All the members of Team 10 nodded as they walked out of Kurenai's home. Just before Asuma walked out the door, Kurenai pulled him in for a long kiss.
"It's good to have you back." Kurenai said as she hugged Asuma's arm.
"It's good to be back." Asuma said as he held his child and the woman her loved close.
Tsunade sat in a local bar as she stared down into her drink. Several empty bottles of sake lay in front of her. All the patrons in the bar avoided the sannin as she sulked in her seat.
Shizune watched her master with a frown. She had been doing this the past few days, she had been slipping back into her old habits. Just like she was before she became Hokage. Shizune wanted to help her master, but she knew there was little she could do. So she just watched as Tsunade gulped down another shot of sake.
The liquid burned as it went down Tsunade's throat. It was a familiar and comforting feeling, it helped her forget all her worries. As Tsunade stared into her empty cup her thoughts drifted to Jiraiya, and a few tears escaped her eyes.
"Why did you have to leave me too, you old pervert." Tsunade mumbled as she laid her head down on her arms.
"Aww I didn't know you'd miss me hime."
"Heh I must be really drunk, I'm even hearing the old bastard now." Tsunade mumbled into her arms.
"Kami you're still as beautiful as ever hime."
"Okay now this is getting annoying." Tsunade said as she lifted her head up.
"T-Tsunade-sama!" Shizune exclaimed as she frantically gestured behind Tsunade.
"What is it Shizune!?" Tsunade asked as she looked at her other apprentice.
"T-Turn around!"
Tsunade sighed and turned around in her seat. When she did her eyes bulged. She saw Jiraiya standing there grinning at her.
"Hey hime did you miss me?"
"W-What? H-How?" Tsunade asked as she stood up from her seat and poked Jiraiya.
"Ah this all the gaki's doing."
"Naruto... thank you!" Tsunade said before she pulled Jiraiya in for a hug.
Jiraiya wrapped his arms around Tsunade and hugged her back. After a few moments though Tsunade let out a growl. She pushed Jiraiya off her and slapped him across the face sending him flying across the bar. Jiraiya rubbed the hand print on his face, as he watched Tsunade storm over to him.
"N-Now hime calm down. I don't fell like dying again."
"You...you...bastard! You promised me you'd come back alive from that mission!" Tsunade screamed as tears sprouted from her eyes. "Do you have any idea how devastated Naruto was after he heard you had died!" Tsunade's voice suddenly dropped to a mere whisper. "Do you have any idea how lonely I've been since you've been gone."
Jiraiya sighed as he stood up. He walked over to the crying Tsunade and hugged her again. He allowed her to cry into his chest for a few moments before he spoke.
"Shh hime I'm back now, and I promise I won't leave you alone again."
Tsunade pulled back and looked into Jiraiya's eyes.
"You promise?" Tsunade whispered as she lowered her gaze.
Jiraiya cupped her chin and made her look him in the eyes.
"I promise." Jiraiya said with conviction as they stared into each others eyes.
They found themselves leaning forward. Suddenly Tsunade pressed her lips against Jiraiya's. It was gentle kiss, but it showed all the care and love they held for one another.
When Jiraiya broke the kiss, Tsunade had a dreamy look on her face. They stared into each others eyes for a few more moments before Tsunade smiled.
"Well you old pervert why don't we go on a date, I think you've finally earned one."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Really hime!"
"Yeah come on I know this great restaurant we can go to," Tsunade said as she grabbed Jiraiya's arm. "Shizune you're free to do whatever you want for awhile."
Shizune smiled as she watched her master leave with Jiraiya arm in arm. But now she had nothing to do.
"Hmm I wonder what Kakashi-kun is doing?" Shizune thought as she stood up to go pay the Hokage a visit.
