Chapter 13 Payback Part four

"Well Raikage-sama, I'm pleased to report that you're as healthy as you were when I first examined you and that you regenerative bloodline is a true marvel of Nature" commented Retsu.

"So does that mean I can finally get out of here?" asked Naruto, as he was tired of staying in this room.

"I'm afraid not just yet Raikage-sama, as I would like to keep you in here for another day or two, just for observation, so to make certain that your body has full recovered from the battle", answered Retsu.

"Aaawww, come on Unohana-san I've been in here for over two weeks now, I going stir crazy being stuck here all the time, besides I'm in perfect health, you said so yourself and feel great" spoke Naruto.

"I'm aware of what I said Raikage-sama, but there still maybe some unknown aftereffects, hence I like to keep you under observation for just a little longer to be safe", replied Unohana.

"Well with all due respect Unohana-san, I feel great and since I'm The Raikage, I have final say" spoke Naruto.

"I'm afraid that is where you are wrong Raikage-sama" spoke Unohana, with her traditional friendly smile. "Since as head of the hospital and the Medical combat corp, I've final say on the condition of all my patients and you do not, and since you are my patient, you'll have to do what I say".

"You're kidding me?" cried Naruto.

"I'm afraid so Raikage-sama" spoke Unohana, where she then started to walk out of the room, but suddenly stopped and "Also please remember Raikage-sama, that while it is good to be energetic, please stay in your bed until I officially clear you. For as long as you're still my patient and in this hospital, your life is in my hands. So please do not forget that" spoke Retsu in a friendly smile and tone of voice, yet at the same time she emanated a powerful, dark intimidating presence to underline her words. This made everyone in the room including Killer Bee, Naruto, Zhuge Liang and Mitsuhide, very nervous and even fearful, showing exactly why Unohana, was the most feared person in all of New Kumo.

Once Retsu left the room, everyone began to relax a little and sigh with relief, "Damn yoh that was intense, no doubt", spoke Killer Bee.

"Indeed" replied Zhuge Liang.

"How the hell can she, seem so friendly and kind, yet at the same time, seem so scary, dangerous and intimidating?" asked Yuffie.

"I don't know, but I wish I knew" commented Soifon.

"No kidding, as sometimes I think that maybe you guys should've made her Raikage instead of me, as knowing Retsu, she could've probably scared off Orochimaru, the Mizukage, the Tsuchikage, all four Hokage's and the others by just looking at them", said Naruto, which caused everyone to chuckle, as knowing Unohana, it was probably true.

"One cannot expect anything less than that from a student of Tsunade-sama", spoke Zhuge Liang.

"Yea, well to be honest, Retsu is a hell of a lot scarier than the old Hag ever could be" answered Naruto.

"Many could argue against that, saying she is just as frightening as or more than Retsu" spoke Yugito.

"I doubt that, as at least I could stand up to the old Hag, Retsu is a whole other level", replied Naruto.

"To each their own, I guess" said Saiyuri, although she couldn't really argue with Naruto, when it came to Retsu.

Soon after a knock came on the door, and one of the STORM-nins guarding his door entered the room, "Raikage-sama the Godaime Kazekage, along with his brother, sister and wife are here and are asking to see you".

"Gaara here?" asked Naruto, where the STORM-nin wearing a Tiger shape mask just nodded, upon which Naruto then told him to let Gaara and his family in.

"Gaara!" greeted Naruto with a smile as he saw his friend and fellow jinchūriki and Kage.

"Greeting Raikage-sama" replied Gaara politely, where his wife Matsuri, sister Temari and brother Kakuro replied in similar manners.

"Please Gaara's all of you, call me Naruto, as I don't like being called that, when I not on duty, and according to Retsu, I'm not as I'm still a patient here."

"I hope it is nothing serious?" asked Gaara, as he was concerned about his friend, who had saved his life during the battle of Konoha, when he arrived.

"It's nothing, it's just Retsu being overly cautious" replied Naruto with a wave of his hand, indicating it was nothing, after which he turned to Masuri.

"Ah and this must be your lovely wife Masuri, who I've heard about" said Naruto, with a charming like smile.

This of course made the young woman blush red, "Eh Thank you Raikage-denka, I've heard a great deal about you as well, from Gaara-kun, Temari-onē-san and Kankuro-onii-san".

Naruto of course smiled and then reintroduced Zhuge Liang and the others, including his wives to them, when Kankuro heard that Yugito and the other girls were all Naruto's wives, his jaw dropped.

"You're saying that all of them are your wives?" spoke Kankuro in surprise, as he found it hard to believe, that all these attractive girls were married to Naruto.

"Pretty much" said Naruto with a cheesy grin, as he scratched his head, as he was kind of use to this, as a lot of people acted like this when they heard that he had more than one wife.

At this Kankuro could not help but gap, when he looked at the eight attractive women, where he also could not help, but envy Naruto and think "Luckily bastard".

"So you've eight wives" asked Temari, as she had heard that since The Raikage was the last of his Clan with a bloodline, he could marry multipliable women, if they agreed. Such things were not unheard of and were only allowed, when a Clan with a bloodline, that was on the verge of going extinct and a Shinobi village wanted to keep the bloodline and Clan alive.

"Eh actually, no I've several more to be honest" said Naruto, as he was kind of embarrassed and uncomfortable about this, especially with the look Kankuro was giving him.

"You have more?...How many?" asked Kankuro.

"Well there's Koyuki-chan and there's …" spoke Naruto but was interrupted, by Kankuro before he could continue.

"Wait Koyuki, as in Kazahana Koyuki aka Fujikaze Yukie" spoke Kankuro in surprise, where Naruto nodded, before Kankuro, cry out "NNNNNOOOO! After which he then started to weep, while muttering things like "Why, Why did this happen" and "He doesn't deserve her".

"I take it he's had a thing for Koyuki-chan" spoke Naruto, as he had seen this kind reaction before with Koyuki male fans (and some females), when they found out he was married to her.

Gaara, Temrai and Masuri, all nodded with embarrassment at Kankuro's actions, telling Naruto that Kankuro was a long-time fan and hand a major crush on her.

After a while Kankuro finally calm down, (although Kankuro still gave Naruto several jealous glares), after which, Gaara and others spent the next few hours talking about, what happened during Naruto's ten years in exile and how Naruto became Raikage.

Eventually though Narutoi decided to get to one of the points of Gaara's visit, "So Gaara as much as I enjoyed talking and catching up with you, I know there's more to your visit than just catching up on the last ten years".

"You certainly change Uzumaki-san" commented Gaara with a slight smile, as Naruto was a lot more astute than he used to be.

"Gaara, how many times do I have to tell you, call me Naruto, as we're friends after all" spoke Naruto with a smile.

"Very well then Naruto-san, as you're correct, as my visit involves more than just conversing with you about the past ten years. The other reason why I've come here is to ask for an alliance between your village and the Heavenly Alliance, with my village. As during the recent battle, I lost half the Shinobi's that I brought here, which puts Suna at a disadvantage, as our military was already the lowest of the five Great Shinobi nations. Also, after seeing and hearing about your Alliance strength, I can see that it would be in the best interest of my village to ally itself with yours".

When Naruto heard Gaara asking for an alliance, a small smile appeared on his face, although it quickly disappeared, before Gaara or the others saw it.

"I would be happy to form an alliance between your village and the Heavenly Alliance, although I will of course have to confer, with the other Shinobi members of the Alliance. But I'm sure they will agree, also if your Daimyo, also wishes to form an alliance with us, please tell him that he will be more than welcome to join" spoke Naruto.

"I shall indeed to do that, Naruto-san", spoke Gaara.

"Good, when I speak to the other members, I shall inform them of your petition to form an alliance with us, where if they agree, which I'm sure they will, I send you an invitation to join the Alliance gathering. As several nations are preparing to join the Heavenly Alliance, and I believe that would be the best time to negotiate our alliance, with one another", said Naruto.

"I look forward to hearing from you then Naruto-san" replied Gaara, "Also before I forget I wish to thank for saving from the Akatsuki."

Natural when Gaara said this, his two siblings and wife were shocked by the news.

"Wait Gaara! Are you saying that Naruto was the one who saved you when the Akatsuki captured you?" Kankuro asked. Since for years they had been trying to find out who had saved Gaara and killed Sasori and defeated his partner Deidara.

"Yes" Gara replied simply.

"So you knew? Naruto asked, as he too was slightly surprised by the news, as well as amused.

"Actually know I only realized it after you revealed yourself when you faced Orochimaru and his allies."

"Then how did you know it was me?"

"When I was drifting in and out of unconscious I saw you for a moment, telling me I would be fine."

"Gaara, why did you never tell us this?" Temari asked, since this was the first any of them were hearing this.

"I assumed that I had died momentarily, given how at the time we all believed that Naruto-sama was dead and I did not want to worry you at the time."

After hearing this, Temari and the others could only nod, since they had to agree if Gaara had told them of it they would have worried about him.

"So which one were you?" Kankuro asked suddenly since according to the rumours they heard Sasori and Deidara had two enemy Shinobi.

"I was the one who killed Sasori my friend and partner Anisu fought Deidara" Naruto answered.

When Kankuro heard this he could only shake his head at amazement, since he couldn't believe that back then Naruto was strong enough to fight and kill the legendary puppet master Akasuna no Sasori (Sasori of the Red Sand).

"I'm I correct in assuming that you were also the one who improved the seal on my husband?" Masato asked as she joined in the conversation.

"Actually no, that was done by Sensei Zhuge Liang" Naruto replied as he pointed to his teacher.

"Then you have my thanks Zhuge Liang-sama" said Gaara as he turned a bowed slightly to the elder man, who stated that it was nothing and that he had been happy to help.

After a few more minutes of talking, Gaara then bid his god-bye to his friend, as he and his remaining forces were returning to their village tomorrow.

Soon after Gaara left, Masato (7) quickly appeared in the room by Shunshin with an urgent and serious look on his face (well more serious than usual) holding a folder.

Upon seeing Naruto, Masato quickly bowed respectful to his Kage before he then spoke, "Raikage-sama, I 'am pleased to see that you are well".

"Thanks Masato, so whats up?" asked Naruto, as he could tell that something was up with his red cloaked friend.

"I've have just received the urgent report from one of our agents and thought you should see it immediately" spoke Masato, as he handed Naruto the folder.

Naruto took the folder and quickly began to read it, where once he finished his eyes widened, before he turned to Masato, "Is this information creditable?" asked Naruto.

"Yes it is, as I know and trust the agent, as she one of our best and took a great risk to inform me of this, it was only by pure chance that she learned of this" replied Masato, where Naruto nodded. After which he then shared what was in the folder with the others, who were wondering what was wrong, and why it got Naruto so serious.

When Naruto finished telling the Mistsuhide quickly spoke, "We need to move on this quickly, as something like this does not present itself often".

"Indeed, as it seems the heavens themselves are presenting this information as a gift to us" spoke Zhuge Liang.

"Masato, when is it happening?" asked Naruto urgently.

"Two weeks from now", replied Masato.

"Then we need, to move on this fast, as we need to head back to New Kumo, plan out what we're going to do. As if we succeed in this, it will be a major victory and boost to us" spoke Naruto out loud, before he turned Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge Liang-sensei I need you Saiyuri-sensei and Mitsuhide-sensei to gather our forces and have them ready to move out the day after tomorrow", spoke Naruto with an authoritative tone of voice that showed why he was the Raikage.

"Hai Raikage-sama", spoke Zhuge Liang, Saiyuri and Mitsuhide together before they quickly left to do what Naruto had ordered. After which Naruto then started to give our other orders to the others in the room, where they then quickly left the room, until only Killer Bee, Naruto and his three female bodyguards/wives were left in the room.

Upon which Naruto began to rethink his plans for Konoha, as with this new development, he wouldn't have the time he thought he would've to do them. Meaning he would've to do everything he had planned to do by tomorrow.

The next day after meeting Gaara, Naruto was out of the hospital room, walking the streets of Konoha with Okatsu, Yugito, Fu and Killer Bee. Naruto had just finished saying good-byes to Gaara at southern gate of Konoha and was now on his way to visit some friends.

Naruto was currently wearing his Blue long coat with three tails with a White Lightning like pattern on the right side of the coat. That also had Black Lightning bolts at the edges of the coat and at Kanji for "Storm" on the back. Along with that he wore a short sleeve black T-shit, but with an ANBU armour chest plate, as well as black fingerless gloves and a Kumo headband wrapped around his right arm. He also had his black jeans and boots with steel tips and had a black strap around his shoulders, hold Tengu on his back. His short bright blonde hair was back to being slicked back and spiked up at the back, with bright blue highlights in the shape of Lightning bolts that travelled from the spike ends to the front.

As Naruto, walked down the street with his bodyguards, he could see everyone on the street, making way for them and staring at him, some with fear over the power he had, some with anger at him being alive and other with neutral looks, as they were unsure how they should feel.

Naruto and the others of course ignored them and continued on, as they could care less what the people of Konoha thought of them. As they continued on, Naruto and the others notice that like the last time when they were in Konoha, they were being followed by ROOT and Konoha ANBU, but this time, there were about six teams following them. Although what the ROOT and Konoha ANBU ninja's didn't know, was that they themselves were being followed by twelve teams of STORM-nins, who were secretly following them to make sure that none of them tried anything against their Raikage.

As Naruto was walking, Okatsu suddenly spoke up "Are you sure that this was ok, Naruto? As you're technically, disobeying Unohana-sama orders".

"Ah don't worry, I can handle Unohana, as I 'am the legendary Raikage after all" spoke Naruto as he puffed out of his chest.

"Is that so Raikage-sama" spoke Unohana from directly behind Naruto, who went pale white and quickly turned around to finds Unohana standing behind him, with here traditional friendly smile.

"H-h-hey R-Re-Retsu…y-you…know I was just kidding just now…and I only came out for some fresh air and…" spoke Naruto nervously, as he about ready to Raipo (Lightning step) as far away as possible, and escape the hellish torture that Unohana was sure to unleash upon him. But before he could start running, Unohana busted out laughing, and then turned into Yugito, who and used a Henge (transformation) to turn into Retsu, she was then joined in her laughter by Killer Bee and the other girls.

"Ahh, Hahahahaha…Oh man Naruto…hahaha…you should have seen you face…hahaha…it was priceless…hahaha" laugh Yugito, as she was ready to burst a lung from laughing so hard.

"That was killer yoh" laugh Killer bee as he couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh man…hahaha…I thought for sure your wet yourself…hahaha…when you heard Yugito mimic Retsu" spoke Fu as she and Okatsu were laughing their heads off at Naruto.

"That wasn't funny" said an annoyed Naruto, he could believe that he, the prankster prince, got pranked, by his own wife of all people, where he was beginning to think that a bit of himself had rubbed off on his wives.

"Hahahaha…Maybe not for you…hahahaha…but it was for us it was hilarious" said Yugito as she continued laughing.

Soon after Yugito and the others stopped laughing, but still chuckled now and again over it, even Naruto had to admit it was pretty funny.

Eventually though they arrived at their first destination, which was a small house, which had survived the battle, without much damage done to it.

Naruto then knocked on the door of house and waited for a few seconds, until the door opened, when it opened a young girl about five years of age, with violet hair done up in a short, somewhat spiky ponytail. The girl also had brown eyes and dark tan like skin and wore a short sleeveless cream shirt and brown pants.

"Hello Aiko, it nice to finally meet you", spoke Naruto friendly.

"Who are you? And how do you know my name" asked the young girl, with a slightly confused and unsure look, at how Naruto knew her name.

"I'm an old friend of your dad's, and I came here to see him" said Naruto.

"Tou-san! There's some guy here to see you!" cried Aiko.

"Who is it Aiko?" asked Iruka as he popped his head from the living room, to see who it was, where upon seeing Naruto, Iruka eyes widen in surprise.

"Naruto?"

"Yoh sensei long time, no see" said Naruto, with cheesy smile.

"Naruto!" cried Iruka and he quickly raced out of the living room and towards his former student and he gave Naruto a fatherly hug which Naruto happily returned.

"You idiot I thought you were dead!" said Iruka happily, as he let go of Naruto after a minute or two.

"Yea sorry about that Sensei, I needed everyone to think that", replied Naruto, as he was indeed happy to see his former sensei and friend/father figure.

Before Iruka could respond to that, Aiko suddenly spoke up,"Tou-san who is he?" asked the young girl.

Iruka then quickly turned around and knelt next to his daughter, "Aiko, this Naruto, the one who I told you about, remember".

"You mean that's Naruto's-nii-san, but you said he was dead" said the confused little girl.

"Well I was wrong, and he's The Raikage of New Kumo", said Iruka, where , her eyes widened, at hearing that Naruto was the famed Raikage, that everyone was talking about

It was at this pointed and Anko appeared out of the house, "Iruka-kun what's all the commotion?" asked Anko, until she saw Naruto and the others, where she then smiled.

"Well I be dammed, if I didn't know any better I would say I was seeing a ghost", said Anko with a grin.

"Yo Snake Lady, nice seeing you too" greeted Naruto.

"So Naruto are these your bodyguards", asked Iruka as he looked at Killer Bee and the girls,

"Yes they are, this is Killer Bee and these are my wives Yugito, Fu and Okatsu", said Naruto as he introduced them, where they each greeted Iruka and his family in their own traditional way.

"So the rumours are true, you do have your own little harem" said Anko with a saucy grin.

"Eh yea it's true" said Naruto, as he scratched his head in embarrassment and had a cheesy grin.

"You're a real pimp now, aren't you, and probably the envy of every guy in your village…as you're the boss of your own little harem" spoke Anko.

"Well you might be right about being envied, but the boss, I wouldn't go and say that" said Naruto, as he smiled and looked to the girls next to him, who smiled back at him".

"Ah I see you've already been whipped by them then" said Anko with a grin.

"Well they do outnumber me" replied Naruto with a smirk.

"Never thought you as the settling down time Naruto, especially at your age", spoke Iruka.

"Well I could say the same kind of thing, about you Sensei, with you and Snake Lady here getting hitched and later on having a kid" said Naruto.

"Ah well certain things happen" spoke Iruka, with some embarrassment, as he scratched the back of his head, similar to Naruto, after which he then invited Naruto and the others into the house, where they all took some seats in the living room.

For the next few hours Naruto, Iruka and Anko and the others talked away, catching up with the past ten years. During the conversation, Naruto informed Iruka and Anko, how he had sent out his wife Takara and Tatara Hamrio (8), to look for them and make sure that they were ok. Upon learning this both Iruka and Anko, thanked him, as if it wasn't for Hamrio and Takara, they would've been killed by the cruse seal warriors. Also during the conversation, Aiko was of full of questions about Naruto, as she had heard a lot about him from her father. She was especially excited to hear about Naruto's battle against Orochimaru and the coalition leaders and the four Hokages, as she had heard some of the Shinobi's talk about how incredible it was, and who better to hear it from than the person himself.

Naruto of course told Aiko how the battle went, but didn't go into exact detail, as he didn't want to be too graphical, as she was only five after all. Iruka and Anko were of course all ears themselves as they too had heard the stories, but hadn't seen it. When Naruto finished his story, Iruka and Anko were of course amazed at how strong Naruto had become, especially Iruka who was extremely proud of Naruto.

"Hey Naruto-nii-san can you teach me how to do you Inazuma (Lightning Flash)?" asked Aiko eagerly, as after hearing about it and seeing the aftermath she thought it would be cool to learn.

At this Naruto smiled slightly, "Sorry Aiko, but I can't teach you that, as I'm the only person that can do it".

"AAAWWWW!" moaned Aiko sorrowfully, as she thought it be really cool Jutsu to learn it.

Seeing the young girl's disappointment, Naruto decided to do something, "Well I may not be able to teach you my Inazuma,but I can teach you something else, if you're interested", spoke Naruto, which immediately got the girl's attention.

"Really?" asked an excited Aiko.

"With your dad's permission of course" spoke Naruto, where Iruka nodded, saying it was ok, as long as it wasn't over the top or dangerous.

Soon after Naruto took Aiko out to the small backyard and asked her what she know, where she told him she knew how to walk on walls and trees. Along with water and knew the three basic academy Jutsu, which impressed Naruto, as she was quite advance for her age. Naruto then decided to see what nature affinity she was, to see if there was any Jutsu he could teach her.

When Aiko placed her hand to the special Chakra sensitive paper that Naruto took out, the paper spilt in two, showing that she and an affinity to Wind, which was surprising as Naruto knew how rare it was in Konoha and Hi no Kuni.

"Wind, well that surprising, but it good as there are a few things I can teach you" spoke Naruto.

After which he then gave her a leaf and thought her how to channel her Wind affinity and cut the leaf, much to Naruto amazement, Aiko got it within an a hour, after which he decided to teach her a Jutsu.

"Now the Technique I going to teach you, is called Fūton: Reppūshō (Wind Style: Violent Wind Palm), it's a C rank Technique and is quite power, as it can easily knock over a person. Although the true value of this technique comes from using it together with projection weapons like Shurikens and Kunai's. As the technique increases the speed, power of the weapons several times over", spoke Naruto, where Aiko nodded her head in understanding.

Naruto then clapped his hand together and cried out "Fūton: Reppūshō!" after which a powerful gale exploded from Naruto hands and blew apart a large bush, and tore up a good bit of the ground as it blew towards the bush.

"Awesome!" cried Aiko.

"Now I have to teach you how to do that hand-seals, as you won't be able to do it the same way that I do, as you don't have enough skill in Wind Ninjutsu" said Naruto, where Aiko nodded again in understanding.

For the next hour and a half Naruto helped Aiko practice using the Jutsu, at first all Aiko could do was blow a slight breeze, but eventually she got better, where she was able to blow away about half the leaves of another nearby bush, although still was nowhere near the level that Naruto could do it.

"Pretty good Aiko" said Naruto with a smile, as he looked down at the tired young girl, as she had used a lot of her Chakra when practicing.

"But I'm still nowhere, near as good, as when you did it" said Aiko.

"Don't worry about it Aiko, you doing a lot better than I did when I was first practicing in using my wind affinity, as it too me a several days to be able to use it, and even longer to be able to use jutsu's, especially the way I can now. Eventually with enough practice, you have it down in no time, where you'll be as good if not better than me. Just remember one thing, never give up", said Naruto.

"Right I won't nii-san" replied Aiko with determination, which made Naruto smile, where then then walked back to Iruka, Anko and the others, who were watching from the back of the house.

"You make a good teacher Naruto" commented Iruka.

"Thanks I learn from the best" replied Naruto, which made Iruka smile.

"Here take these, there a list of Wind Jutsu that I created, along with ways to help improve her Wind affinity, since I know that there aren't that many Wind Jutsu users in Konoha. I'm sure these will come in handy for her in learning how use her Wind affinity and in training in it later on" spoke Naruto, as he handed Iruka a scroll from a pocket in his trench coat.

"Thank you Naruto" said Iruka, "Also there is something that Anko and I want to ask you"

"What's that Sensei?"

"Well…" said Iruka as he put his arms around Anko, "…We like you to be the godfather of our second child".

At hearing this Naruto's eyes widened slightly, and turned to Anko "Your pregnant?" where Anko just nodded.

"Yea found out when I was being checked out by the medic's a while back".

"Congratulations…and yes I would be honoured" said Naruto sincerely. "Also if ever wish to leave Konoha, you're all more than welcome to come to New Kumo and stay or visit at least".

"Thank you…but Konoha is our home, but maybe we might visit someday", replied Iruka, where Naruto just nodded in understanding.

"Iruka-sensei there also another reason why I'm here, as I'm planning something and I would like you help in what I have planned" spoke Naruto.

"What exactly is it?" asked Iruka, where Naruto went on to explain his plan, after which Iruka agreed to help.

After Leaving Iruka's home, Naruto and the others, then headed to their next destination, which was the Sarutobi Clan compound, there Naruto met some members of the Sarutobi Clan. Upon which he asked to see Konohamaru, where the guards nodded and one of them, went to inform Konohamaru, while the other remained with Naruto and the others.

Soon enough Konohamaru came out and greeted Naruto, "Nii-san!" cried the eighteen year old Konohamaru, as he then hugged his older brother figure.

"Hey squirt, it's been a while, you've gotten pretty big, since I last saw you" replied Naruto, after Konohamaru let him go and smiled at Konohamaru, after which Konohamaru, then punched Naruto hard in the arm.

"Ow, hey is that anyway to greet someone?" asked Naruto as he rubbed his arm, as he had to admit, Konohamaru was quite strong.

"That was for making me think you were dead, you just lucky, I'm more happy that your alive, than angry that you made me think you've been dead for ten years" spoke an annoyed Konohamaru.

"Sorry, guess I deserved that" said Naruto

"You did" said Konohamaru, after which he turned to look towards Yugito, Okatsu and Fu and smiled, "And these must be you're the rest of your little harem…boy Nii-san you are the man, as only you could live every guys fantasy".

"Would than include you Konohamaru-kun" spoke a female voice coming out of Konohamaru, large home, and making the young Sarutobi Clan head freeze in fear.

"Eh…eehhhh… hey Hanabi-chan" spoke Konohamaru nervously,

"So would having multiple wives be your fantasy" spoke Hanabi, with a raised eyebrow and in a calm neutral tone.

"Nnnooo…of course not Hanabi-chan, you're the only for me" spoke Konohamaru nervously, as he had no wish to be on Hanabi bad side...again.

"I glad to hear that" spoke Hanabi, calmly.

As this was happening, Yugito and the girls gave Hanabi nods of approval, at the young female Hyuga reigning in her fiancé, while Killer Bee snickered silently at seeing Konohamaru cower in face of his fiancé. Naruto on the other hand gave Konohamaru a sympatric look, as he knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of an angry female. Although he had it much worse, as he had to deal with a number of different females at the same time, while Konohamru, only had to deal with one.

Soon enough Hanabi eased her stare at the cowering Konohamaru, after which she turned to Naruto and the others and bowed respectfully towards Naruto. "It is an honour to meet you Raikage-sama, I have heard much about you from my sister and Konohamaru-kun".

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Hanabi-san" replied Naruto friendly, where after the introductions were done, Hanabi and Konohamru invited Naruto and Co into Konohamaru's home.

For the next few hours, like with Iruka and his family, Naruto talked to Konohamaru and Hanabi and caught up with one another, after the past ten years. During which, Konohamaru went on to tell Naruto all the pranks that he pulled on the village.

"HAHAHAHAHA…You actually got a pair of dogs to leg fuck that Koharu woman on each leg" cried Yugito as she laughed her head off at the image.

"Hehehehe…Not to mention you tricked that Haruno one into walking out naked from her shower and glued her hands to her head", laughed Fu.

"Hehehehe…But it wasn't as good as what you did to the Uchiha, I would have loved to have seen his face when he saw what you did to his house and his clothes", giggled Okatsu.

"No way Yoh,…hahahahaha…the best was you all did to scarecrow guy Yoh, where you tricked him into a gay bar", joked Killer Bee.

"Ah man no…hahaha…the best was…hahahaha… the Hyuga Clan…hahahaha…Man I would have killed to see Hiashi, face…hahaha…when he saw his underwear flying on the Hokage Flag pole", said Naruto as he held his gut from laughing so hard.

"I hate to admit it Konohamru, you've surpassed me on pranking…hahahaha" commented Naruto, as an image Hiashi face.

Soon enough though Naruto and the others calm down, although Naruto then had a devilish like smirk, "So Konohamaru, did you happen to help yourself to Hanabi's unmentionables, when you raided the Hyuga compound".

"NO OF COURSE NOT!" cried a bright red Konoahmaru, as his eyes darted back and forth from Naruto and Hanabi, although Hanabi had raised her left eyebrow slightly and stared at the nervous Konohamaru. After hearing Naruto's question, for although none of her unmentionables were scattered across the village like the others, it didn't necessarily mean Konoahamaru helped himself to some of them.

"Eh…so nii-san, how long are you going to be staying" asked Konohamru nervously, hoping to change the subject.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow", answered Naruto.

"What? But you just woke up!" cried Konohamaru

"Sorry Konohamaru, but something has come up that needs my attention at New Kumo. Besides I think it's for the best that I leave here as soon as possible, as there has already been enough trouble between those who hate here and my Shinobi's" replied Naruto.

At this Konohamaru narrowed his eyes, as once again Naruto, was being forced to leave the village because of the bigots in the civilian population and in the Shinobi population.

"But before I leave, I have a few things I want to get done here today, like thanking you for helping to protect me, when I was unconscious, and for preventing the situation from getting out of hand and preventing the wounded from getting caught up it", spoke Naruto.

"Don't worry about it; I was happy to help, after you saved us and all" replied Konohamaru.

"Konohamaru, I should also warn you in advance, that I'm planning on calling a meeting with Tsunade and the Council, and I'm going to cause quite a lot trouble…" spoke Naruto.

"Like the good old days" interrupted a smiling Konohamaru, where Naruto just nodded and smiled.

"…Yea, but this time, it going to cause serious amount of trouble for Konoha, so I just want you to be prepared that's all" spoke Naruto, where Konohamaru nodded.

After a few minutes, Naruto the stood up, along with Killer Bee and the girls and prepared to leave, but as he did Konohamaru spoke up. "Wait nii-san, I know this is short notice, but Hanabi and I would like to invite you to our wedding next month".

"Hai, we would be both greatly honoured if you would come to celebrate our wedding" spoke Hanabi.

At this Naruto smiled sadly, "I would be honoured and greatly happy to be at you wedding, but I must decline sadly, as current matters, involving an Alliance gathering that taking place in two months will keeping me busy for a while. Plus if I show up, I'm afraid that my appearance there would cause unwelcomed hostility and probably have a small army of Konoha and New Kumo Shinobi's glaring at one another, at the wedding and ruin it for you both, which is something like to avoid".

Konohamaru was of course saddened at hearing this, but nodded in understanding.

Seeing this, Naruto smiled and then took out a small envelope and handed it to Konohamaru, "Here I was planning to give this to you, think of it as my wedding gift to you both".

When Konohamaru opened the envelope he saw two gift vouchers in it, "What are they?" asked Konohamaru.

"They're vouchers for a resort in Yugakure (Hidden Hot Spring)…a honeymoon if you will, as everything there will free of charge, as the village leader owes me a few favours and is a friend", said Naruto with a smile.

"Thank you Raikage-denka that was a very generous of you" replied Hanabi respectfully.

"Yea thanks nii-san" spoke Konohamaru, where Naruto just nodded and smiled again before he left with the others.

-At the Memorial Stone-

A man stood in front of the memorial stone. He had been coming here every day, since the death of his friends and his sensei. It was one of the main reasons, why he was so late for every appointment he had. Today, although he was here for a different reason, today he could not even look at the stone.

This man was none other than Hatake Kakashi, aka Kopī Ninja no Kakashi (Copy Ninja Kakashi), aka Sharingan no Kakashi (Kakashi of the Sharingan), only son of the famed Konoha no Shiroi Kiba (White fang of Konoha) Hatake Sakumo.

The reason he had come to the stone was because he had hoped he could somehow find forgiveness for what he had done. For he had turn his back on Naruto, his student, his friend and comrade, and worst of all his sensei son, a man he had admired and respect beyond anyone else. As he thought about Naruto, it brought back memories of his flaws as a teacher. He never took another team since then, because of these flaws and failings. He never trained Naruto, when he was his student and he wasn't there to try and stop his banishment, or even there to say good-bye to him with the others. As he had believed he could say his good-byes to Naruto, the following day, when he was officially banish from the village, but he never did. Also because of these flaws and failings, he had lost the respect of his peers and his leader and disgraced the memory of his father, sensei and his team-mates, as he had betrayed everything that they once stood and died for.

But when he came to the stone, he could not even look at it, as he felt that his sensei and team-mates were looking at him with shame and disgust in their eyes. He had failed to protect his sensei's legacy, his only son and he had failed his team-mates and friends. He had once said to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, "Those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum" and he had meant it. Now thinking back on it, he had realised that he had not followed his own words or that of his dead comrade and friend Obito, he was nothing more than a hypocrite.

'Sensei… Obito… Rin… I'm so sorry. I so very, very, very sorry…I've failed you all,' these words constantly repeated themselves through Kakashi's mind, as he stood in front of the stone.

"Well now I guess what people say is true, No matter how much things change over time, some things always remain the same" spoke a familiar voice.

When Kakashi turned around he found, none other than Naruto by himself, the very person he had just been thinking about.

"Naruto!" spoke Kakashi is surprise.

"Hatake" spoke Naruto neutrally, with an unreadable look.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kakashi.

"I was walking around the village or what's left of it, seeing how much it changed over the past ten years, and I felt a little nostalgic and so I decided to come here, as this was where we first became a team wasn't", spoke Naruto with some anger, as each of his so called team-mates had betrayed or turned on him in some way along with his sensei.

Kakashi of course could not help but flinch slightly, at the anger in Naruto's voice, as he knew why Naruto was angry, and he couldn't really blame him.

"You're looking well Naruto" said Kakashi off handily, so to start up a conversation.

"I' am, as Unohana-san does good work" replied Naruto.

"I'm glad".

"I'm surprised you even care, consider you never visited me when I was in the hospital before", responded Naruto coldly, causing Kakashi to flinch yet again.

"Naruto, I know, you're angry at me, but please know how sorry I' am, as I know how much of a lousy sensei to you", spoke Kakashi.

"Sorry doesn't come even close to making up for turning you back on me, even that worthless toad Jiraiya, was more of a sensei to me, than you were ever towards me", spoke Naruto.

Kakashi of course lowered his head in shame as he knew Naruto was right, "Naruto if I…" said Kakashi, but before he could finish Naruto interrupted him.

"Save your excuses Kakashi, I'm in no mood to hear them, as they're just as lousy and as worthless as they ever were", said Naruto coldly, where he then turned around and was about to walk away, but stopped when he came face to face with a group of people.

Although this group wasn't any ordinary group, this group was made up of all the members of the Konoha eleven, with Sai as the newest member, making it the new Konoha twelve.

"Well now isn't this a surprise, a real reunion of the old gang" commented Naruto, as he faced the group, made up of mainly the people he still considered friends.

He was immediately greeted by Akamaru, who ran forward and jumped on top of Naruto with a large "woof!" and started to lick him.

"Hahahaha…stop it Akamaru…hahahaha…it tickles…hahaha…I'm happy to see you too boy…hahahaha" laughed Naruto, as the big bear size dog was on top of him licking his face.

Soon enough Akamaru got off him, after which Kiba then spoke up, "Naruto you jerk, you made us all think you were dead…I take back every nice thing, I said about you…hell I'm even tempted to kill you myself for what you did".

"Yea, Yea dog breath, I happy to see you to and keeps saying that, maybe one day it might actually come true, although I highly doubt it" replied Naruto with a smile, which annoyed Kiba, but he was still glad his friend was alive.

"I'm glad to see your doing well Raikage-sama" spoke Neji.

"Call me Naruto, Neji, as I'm technically not on duty right now…also how is your fiancé?"

"She just came out of here coma today…she is still weak, but she is doing well, thanks to the Hokage and Unohana-sama" spoke Neji, with clear relief in his voice, as he was indeed relieved that his fiancé would be ok.

"I'm glad to hear that" replied Naruto sincerely.

"Yosh Naruto-kun, you have no idea how happy I'm to see you, the flames of youth truly burn brightly within you…but why did you make us think that you were dead, it was very unyouthful of you do such a thing", spoke Lee.

"I'm sorry Lee it was nothing personal, but it was something that I needed to do at the time and will be explained later on, I promise", spoke Naruto, where Lee just nodded in acceptance.

"So Lee, I heard that you're married now and have a daughter now" spoke Naruto.

"Hai, her name is Fuku and the flames of youth burn brightly within her" spoke Lee as his daughter was the apple of his eye and could do no wrong.

"I'm happy to hear that" said Naruto, as he was indeed happy for his friend, "Oh and don't forget you and I have to have that sparing match sometime".

"Yosh I look forward to it…But know I will not lose", replied Lee with his good guy pose, where Naruto just smiled and nodded, saying that he would expect nothing less.

"Tsk, you really are a troublesome person Naruto" muttered Shikamaru, although had a slight smile on his face, as like the others he was glad his friend was alive.

"Well I wouldn't be me if I wasn't" replied Naruto with a smirk, where Shikamaru just nodded, as he agreed Naruto would be himself if he wasn't troublesome.

"I hear that your married now too, and expecting a kid as well right now" spoke Naruto, where Shikamaru just nodded again.

Like for Lee, Naruto was happy for Shikamaru, after which he then spoke a bit with Shino, Tenten and Choji.

After speaking with them, Naruto turned to Hinata and smiled, "Good to see you again Hinata-chan it been a while, I've heard quite a lot about you over the past few years, where you've gotten really powerful during that time".

"Thank you Naruto-kun" said Hinata with a smile, although as she did, she could feel butterflies in her stomach, as she spoke with Naruto, something she had not felt in many years, as she didn't know how Naruto made her feel like this, she just knew he could.

"Also I want to thank you for helping my Shinobi's, protect me when I was unconscious in the hospital and for disrupting the mob, before things could get out of hand", said Naruto.

"I was happy to help you Naruto-kun, after you help save us, I only wish I could have done more", replied Hinata, with a kind smile. Although as she looked at Naruto she also remembered that Naruto was married now, and most likely had no feelings for her what's so ever and was happy with his own wives.

As when she first realised this, soon after the battle of Konoha, she had felt her heart almost break, but thankfully, she keep herself in control and did not break down. After which she silently swore to herself, that regardless of Naruto feelings towards her, she would at least tell him one day of hers. But not now, as this was not the right place or time, but one day soon.

After speaking to Hinata, Naruto then face Sai, "You're the one who took my place on team seven…Sai if I not mistake"

"Hai Raikage-sama, it is an honour to meet you again, I have heard much about you from the others…even from dickless and the Hag here" replied Sai. As he indicated Sasuke and Sakura, which made Naruto laugh at their nicknames, and caused said people to glare coldly at Sai.

"Hahahaha…man that was brilliant, it too bad you and I didn't meet sooner Sai, I'm sure we could've become good friends, also call me Naruto, as like I said I'm not on duty right now".

"Thank you Naruto-san…and I too believe, we could've become friends had we met earlier", replied Sai with a slight smile.

Naruto of course nodded and then turned to face his two former team-mates.

The Raikage then stared down at the 'Ne' captain (aka Sasuke) and Sakura and just stood silently staring at one another. To those watching, it seemed like an eternity as Naruto and his former team-mates stared at each other.

Naruto and Sasuke both stood stared at each other, with cold, emotionless, unreadable looks, where no-one could tell what either of them were thinking about. Sakura on the other hand, didn't know what to say or do, as the past several years she had lived with the regret and self-loathing of how she betrayed her former team-mate. Yet now staring directly at him, she didn't know what to say or do.

After a long silence, Sakura decided to finally break the tension, as she could no longer stand the tense atmosphere.

"It is good to see you again Naruto", said Sakura after the long silence.

"That is Raikage-sama, to you Haruno-san, although it is good to see you too" replied Naruto, coldly, but then quickly became more neutral. Sakura of course flinch at the coldness of Naruto's tone, and also noticed the others words were forced.

"How have you been?" asked the pink haired medic, hoping to smooth things over.

"Happy." He said flatly causing Sakura to flinch. He turned back to Sasuke.

"You've healed nicely, from our last battle, Sasuke. Must have been all that training Haruno received. Love is a powerful drug I see", spoke Naruto with a slight sneer, Sasuke of coursed said nothing and Sakura looked ashamed.

After a few moments of silence Sasuke then spoke "Raikage, huh? Well, not exactly Hokage is it? But I guess, since you couldn't hack it here, you might as well try being Kage of a second rate village. That needs to relay on other villages, to make up for their own deficiencies", said Sasuke mockingly, hoping to antagonise Naruto.

Naruto of course didn't react to Sasuke's cheap jibe, although Sakura and the others looked at the Uchiha like he was stupid, trying to pick a fight with Naruto, especially after what they saw him do during the battle of Konoha.

"Raikage-sama, he didn't mean anything by that!" said Sakura, quickly and panic like, as she was worried that he would cause an international incident.

Sasuke of course just scoffed showing that he did mean what he said, and ignored the glares from Sakura and all the others at him. Naruto on the other hand, found the situation kind of amusing.

"So you're in the ANBU. I'm surprised that Tsunade allowed you on the squad?" said Naruto, although Naruto already knew he wasn't with regular ANBU, as he was just hoping to make his own little jibes at Sasuke.

"I'm not part of Tsunade's ANBU." He said with a condescending tone. "I belong to the 'Ne', the elite."

"Ah yes, I do believe I heard some mention of something like that", replied Naruto, with board tone, not the least bit impressed. "Failing upwards I see", causing the young Uchiha glare coldly at him.

"Although I've to admit I was slightly surprised, when I heard it, as I never thought you would decide to become Danzo's lap-dog", spoke Naruto with a slight smirk, and causing Sasuke to glare angrily at him. Not to mention, causing several members of the Konoha eleven, especially Kiba to smirk.

"I'm no-one's lap-dog" spoke Sasuke angrily.

"Sure keep telling yourself that, maybe it might actually come true", replied Naruto, with a slight smile.

At hearing this, Sasuke's eyes glared at the man before him, but it quickly disappeared, where he then smirked, where when they saw this smirk everyone, especially Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura, became curious about the smirk.

"You probably haven't heard this, but I thought you should know that I'll soon be becoming Hokage", spoke Sasuke with a slightly arrogant smirk.

"Oh I was under the impression that the Hokage chooses who next Hokage is, or at least the Fire Daimyo, after which they have to be approved by the Jonin council. Hence I was under the impression that Konohamaru had just as good a chance as you do", replied Naruto, as he had heard about all this when he had spoken to Konohamaru, earlier.

"Konohamaru, maybe strong, but I'm stronger, and the obvious choice. Besides it's has been decided by the people and the Shinobi elders and they've already convinced the Fire Daimyo that I would be the better choice, as Hokage", spoke Sasuke. Before he continued, "Tsunade may have done an ok, over the past few years, but she is getting old and will soon be asked to step down in the near future. As it's is time for someone more suited for the position to take over the village and return Konoha, as the strongest of the Shinobi nations".

At hearing this, Naruto eyes took a hard glance at Sasuke, while Sakura and the other glared at Sasuke with angry looks, at how he just insulted Tsunade, as she was still their leader, regardless of what Sasuke said. They were especially angry, at how Sasuke was rubbing right in Naruto's face, that he was stealing Naruto's original dream.

Natural, after hearing this everyone was expecting Naruto to explode, not only for Sasuke taking his dream, but for insulting Tsunade (9). But they got the surprise of their lives when Naruto just grinned and laughed.

"Well congratulations, future Rokudaime. May you lead Konoha as greatly as the former Hokage's. As Konoha finally has a Hokage that is worthy of it…" spoke Naruto with a grin. When Sasuke heard this, he smirked, thinking that Naruto finally admitted that he (Sasuke) was superior to him (Naruto). Everyone else was of course gabbing at this as well, but Sasuke smirking and the others gabbing quickly ended, when Naruto continued. "…For now Konoha finally has a Hokage that is as rotten on the inside as it is", finished Naruto shocking everyone again at what he said about their village

"Now, if you would excuse me, I've other more important matters that need my attention", said Naruto, as he walked off. Sasuke was of course a tad bit annoyed at what Naruto said and that Naruto didn't take the bait. But before he could think on the matter more, Naruto suddenly stopped and turned slightly to Sasuke. "Oh! There's one other thing I wanted to ask."

"What is it?" Sasuke said

"How goes the rebuilding the clan thing and the revenge of your clan?" asked the blonde Raikage.

Sasuke of course snarled a little at the mention of this, but kept his emotions in check.

"That's really none of your business" he replied coldly.

"Oh, I'm sorry for prying. It's just that I met Itachi and Kisame a year after I was banished. You know, that whole getting the Kyuubi out of me thing, I'm sure you heard about that little run in".

"What are you trying to say?" growled Sasuke, as he knew Naruto was talking about the incident that involved everyone thinking that Naruto had been captured and killed by the Akatsuki.

"Well as you known, I got into a bit of a scuffle with them, and I wanted to confirm something with you, as I understand that you met him a year and a half later" Naruto said sheepishly.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" shouted Sasuke angrily.

"Well you see he and Kisame attacked me and I simply defended myself, during which I used my Byakurai (White Lightning), which I was still developing at the time. Meaning I didn't have much control over it, but I got a lucky shot off and hit him with it. Upon which, he was wounded pretty badly, where Kisame had to pick him up and carry him off as they retreated, as he lost a lot of blood, as the wound was pretty bad from what I saw. Hence I just wanted to confirm if that wound on his chest was as big as people say it is, as I couldn't really see it much with all that blood and all." He said in a matter of fact tone.

When Sasuke heard this, he froze in shock, as he remembered when he last saw his brother, back on the mission to save Gaara, when he was kidnapped by the Akatsuki.

-Flashback-

After firing a large Fire ball at Itachi, there was a large cloud of smoke covering everyone's view of Itachi, but the smoke soon dissipated revealing Itachi with his Akatsuki cloak destroyed and his shirt completely burned off. Although had no burns on his skin.

But when they saw his bare torso, Sasuke and the others saw a large wound on his chest, they knew that the wound wasn't caused by Sasuke's attack, as the wound was old.

"You've indeed gotten stronger Sasuke-kun, but not strong enough" spoke Itachi.

"That wound?...where did you get that wound I know my attack didn't do that!" said Sasuke, as he narrowed his eyes.

"This wound is from a near fatal injury, that I received from battling an individual, who's potential far surpasses yours, and is most likely now far stronger than you and I by now, and who you can never hope to surpass" replied Itachi calmly.

"WHO IS HE? WHO DID THAT TO YOU?" roared Sasuke angrily, at how someone nearly killed his brother and nearly robbed him of his revenge, and who his brother said was stronger than either of them.

But despite Sasuke's angrily roars, Itachi would not answer and remained silent.

-End Flashback-

Just as Naruto had planned, Sasuke reacted exactly the way he knew he would and had planned.

Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly blazed in anger and he took out his chokutō and used his Chidorigatana (One Thousand Birds Katana), causing everyone to take a few steps back from him, as the amount of chakra he poured into the chokutō kicking up the dust around him.

"Sasuke, what the hell are you doing? What's wrong with you?" shouted Neji

"Did I say something wrong?" asked innocently Naruto, not the least bit worried.

"Something wrong? SOMETHING WRONG!... YOU'RE WHATS WRONG! I'LL KILL YOU!" Sasuke roared and charged at Naruto, with great speed.

'Shit!' thought Kakashi as pulled out a kunai, and try and stop the mad Uchiha, at the same Neji, Hinata, Tenten, Lee, Sai, Sakura and Kiba, where all about to move to stop Sasuke. But before any of them could, Killer Bee, Yugito, Okatsu and Fu appeared, where Okatsu and the other girls blocked the group path and stopped them from interfering. Kakashi on the other hand was stopped by Kiiler Bee, who stood in front of him with a serious look.

As Sasuke neared him, Naruto just stood there and waited for his attack. Suddenly, as Sasuke was upon him, Naruto took out his Wind sword handle and activated it and raised it up towards Sasuke's deciding sword.

Thanks to his Wind sword having the elemental advantage over Sasuke's Lightning chokutō, Naruto's sword was able to neutralise Sasuke Lightning and cut through Sasuke's chokutō, with little difficulty. Also as he cut through Sasuke's chokutō, Naruto side-stepped him, so that Sasuke would go by him. After which he then kicked away Sasuke's leg from underneath him, causing him to fall backwards onto his back. Upon which, Naruto stood on Sasuke's chest, before he could even try anything, Naruto then pointed the Wind blade of his sword at Sasuke's neck, who although couldn't see it, could feel the invisible Wind blade.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Sasuke you really need to learn to control that temper of yours, as it could get you killed or in a very serious situation, like say…trying to kill a Kage of a foreign Shinobi nation", spoke Naruto, in a childlike tone, as if he was speaking to a child.

As soon as Naruto had Sasuke at his mercy, the six teams of ROOT and regular ANBU that had been following Naruto appeared in front of him.

"You will let go of Sasuke-taicho, immediately" spoke a ROOT member wearing a Leopard shape ANBU mask, as he drew out his weapon, along with his comrades, who did the same.

"Please remove yourself from Uchiha Sasuke, Raikage-denka and come with us quietly, where the Hokage can settle this peacefully, Raikage-denka", spoke and ANBU wearing a Baku shaped mask.

"I think not" replied Naruto as he snapped his fingers, where the twelve teams of STORM-nins that had been following them, and protecting Naruto, appeared. Upon which they surrounded the ANBU and ROOT Shinobi's, with their weapons drawn and ready to fight, surprising everyone, especially ANBU and the ROOT ninja's, as none of them had sensed any of them.

Seeing that his STORM-nins had the ROOT and ANBU handled, Naruto refocused his attention on the Uchiha, underneath his foot

"Naruto that's enough!" stated Kakashi, as he took a step forward, only to be stopped by Killer Bee blocking his path by placing his hand on Kakashi chest and stopping him from moving.

"That's as far as you go Mothafucka, Yoh"

Seeing this, Naruto only smirked, "Same old Kakashi, sticking up for the Uchiha, even after seeing what he just did".

"Naruto there's no need to escalate this any further" said Kakashi anxiously.

"Really, because if I not mistaken, the Uchiha here just tried to kill me, without cause or justification and since I'm a Kage of a foreign village, that tangible to a declaration of war on my village and I would be well in my rights to kill the Uchiha here and now. That is unless you want to start another war with the Heavenly Alliance".

At hearing this, Kakashi and the others got extremely worried, as what Naruto said was indeed true and the last thing they needed to be fighting another war.

"Naruto, please there no need to kill him, I can assure you, that Sasuke will be properly punished for what he did", spoke Kakashi earnestly.

"Oh really…like how he was, after I brought him back to the village, where all he got was a slap on the wrist, while I was banished for all my troubles" said Naruto irritably.

At this Kakashi couldn't help but wince, as he couldn't deny what Naruto said, as it was true, "Naruto I can assure you that the Hokage will…"

"The old Hag! Please, if she could do anything he wouldn't be a Ninja anymore and be spending his time in the Konoha's Strict Correctional Facility" laughed Naruto. This of course surprised the Konoha group, as the way Naruto called Tsunade, there was no real warmth or affection when he called her that, like when he used to, when he was younger.

"But luckily for him, I'm in a merciful mood, so I won't kill him" spoke Naruto, as he looked down coldly at Sasuke, who in turn stared angrily at Naruto, knowing he couldn't do anything, without being killed by Naruto. "But don't think for a second, that this incident won't be without repercussions".

At hearing this, Kakashi sighed with relief, at Naruto not killing Sasuke, as regardless of what he thought of Sasuke he still cared for him, as he was once his student, regardless of how much he had fallen. But even then, he was worried about the repercussion that Naruto mentioned and would take against the village over Sasuke actions. For attacking a Kage of a foreign village without cause of justification was a serious crime, where Naruto could easily ask for Sasuke death or even make Konoha pay a heavy price for it.

Soon enough Naruto took his foot off Sasuke chest and deactivated his Wind sword and placed it back on his utility belt.

As Naruto walked away from Sasuke, the young Uchiha was having flashbacks of the night that his Clan was killed by his brother. The way that Naruto simply brushed him off and said he wasn't worth killing was just like the way that Itachi said to him that night.

After having Naruto take him down so easily and then simply turn his back to him and say he wasn't worth killing, was too much for the young Uchiha's pride to take, as he wouldn't stand for it.

Quickly Sasuke did a few quick hand-seals and then charged up his Chidori (One Thousand Birds), which kicked up some dust and charged straight at Naruto.

"Sasuke no!" cried Kakashi, when he saw Sasuke charging at Naruto with his Chidori, after which he quickly maneuvered himself pass Killer Bee and went to stop Sasuke, but he knew he would be too late to stop him.

When Naruto heard the chirping sound of Sasuke's Chidori and Kakashi's cry, it didn't take a genius to realise what was happing. Naruto then quickly turned around and brought his left hand up to block Sasuke's Chidori, where much to the utter shock of everyone, Sasuke's Chidori didn't stab through Naruto hand. Instead it stopped dead when Naruto grabbed hold of Sasuke's hand and the Lightning surrounding it, where it was drawn into Naruto's arm.

"What the?" said Sasuke in shock.

"Who's the dope this time…eh! Teme" spoke Naruto with a smirk at seeing the shock look on his face, which was mimicked by everyone in the Konoha groups, as no-one had ever seen anyone ever blocked a Chidori attack head on.

"How!" spoke Sasuke, in shock, as he still couldn't understand what happened.

"Like I said…who's the dope this time teme, as if you remembered when I used my Inazuma (Lightning Flash) I was able to take in natural Lightning into my body, meaning Chakra created Lightning, would be little trouble for me to take into it. As you see Inazuma was based on my knowledge of not only Byakurai (White Lightning) but of also special Lightning redirecting technique (A) that my Clan created, meaning any Lightning Technique that you use against me is worthless" spoke Naruto. Before he then brought up his right hand and his two forward fingers and placed them just below Sasuke's left collar bone, and then continued. "But not only can I absorb the Lightning into my body, but I can redirect the Lightning that you used against me and send back to you like this… Byakurai!" said Naruto as he then cried out his attack and fired a bolt of Lightning from his forefingers into Sasuke shoulder and right through it, creating a medium size hole in it. Kakashi of course could only watch this, as when he maneuvered around Killer Bee to try and stop Sasuke from attacking Naruto. He was stopped by Killer Bee, who had spun around and drew out one of his seven short blades and held it in a reverse grip at Kakashi's neck from behind him, stopping the Copy-nin in moving any further.

When Naruto, fired the Byakurai, Sasuke screamed out of pain from the attack, and the fell to the ground covering the cauterized hole, next to his arm, with his hand.

"Naruto that wasn't unnecessary" spoke Kakashi as he went next to his former student, after Killer Bee let him go, "You had Sasuke…you didn't need to go that far".

"Tsk, He attack me again without provocation and from behind no less, did you really think I would let that go without a penalty, besides he should be grateful that he alive. As I could've killed him and there wouldn't have been a thing anyone of you could do about it", replied Naruto coldly.

"You've changed Naruto" said Kakashi.

"Huh, What I've become now, is what Konoha helped make into, when they banished me" answered Naruto simply.

"Is that what is this is all about, to get back us for what happened to you?" asked Kakashi.

"You think I like you prized student there…piff…as surprising as it is to all of you, Konoha doesn't revolve around my world, since as far as I'm concerned. This village is a distant memory to me, one of which I like nothing more than to forget about" replied Naruto.

After saying this Naruto then looked down to Sasuke and smirked again, infuriating the Uchiha further. "Oh and Sasuke I want you to do me a favour and remember this day, I want you to remember how the class dope and loser, was able to kick you sorry ass, without even breaking a sweat. I also want you remember how I could've killed you with ease, but I let you live because you weren't worth killing", said Naruto with a cold smirk.

As soon as Sasuke heard this, his Sharingan suddenly blazed in anger again, where he tried to get up, but was forces down on the ground by his wound and because of Kakashi, who was making sure that he didn't do anything stupid again.

Seeing this, Naruto just smirked again, "I suggest that you stay where you are Uchiha, because there won't be a third chance". After which he walked away, and signalled Killer Bee and the girls along the STORM-nins to come with him, the ROOT-nins along with the regular ANBU, didn't try to stop them, knowing there would be no point in trying.

As Naruto walked off with his bodyguards and the STORM-nins, Yugito suddenly spoke up "Why didn't you kill that bastard? You had more than enough reason to and there wouldn't be a think Konoha do about it" spoke Yugito.

"Killing Sasuke would be too easy, beating him down like this is far worse to someone like him, as I wounded his pride, besides killing him would only make him a martyr to the civilian population of Konoha and justify their angry towards me. Plus I would have to listen to the constant bitching and moaning from the Civilian council members. Demanding I make repercussions for killing their precious Uchiha, which would be more trouble than the momentary satisfaction I would get at ending him…Besides Sasuke still has some use to me for later on ".

At this the others just nodded, not fully getting what Naruto had planned, but understood none the less.

When Naruto left, Kakashi just sighed, and once again cursed himself, for his failings when it came to his team. After which he told Hinata, Sakura and the others that they should leave, where he then Shunshin away to the hospital, so to have Sasuke treated for his wound and then deliver him to Tsunade, where he would most likely be punished for what happened here.
