Naruto asked again "Wanna come for dinner? Place your hand on my shoulders."
Hiruzen and Jiraiya put their hands on his shoulder as Hiruzen asked in curiosity "Why are you not releasing your sage mode? Naruto?"
Jiraiya sighed and replied to his question "Naruto can keep it indefinitely. This kid is really a monster."
"What?!" Hiruzen shouted in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
"Hm… According to his explanation, 'Natural Energy' should not stay still at the core of the 'Chakra Pathway System' or else it'll leak sooner or later, which is true from my experience in using 'Sage Mode'. He said, you have to make it flow with your chakra.
Basically, treating 'Natural Energy' as a part of Chakra instead of using it as external storage for 'Natural Energy'. I understand it in theory, but actually doing it requires extremely delicate chakra control that's more than 10x more difficult than maintaining 'Natural Energy' in the core. I'll experiment with it soon." Jiraiya replied
Sighing, he continued "Good grief, being in this brat's presence really brings a lot more surprises than all the surprises I've seen my entire life."
Hiruzen nodded as he was also shocked a lot by Naruto's unconventional thinking.
Swish!
They disappeared on the spot as Naruto teleported them to his house instantly.
Naruto said as he arrived with the widest smile "I'm home!"
"Naruto?" Haku breathed a sigh of relief as she stood up seeing Naruto come back home.
Chuckling, Naruto said "Sorry for making you worry."
Haku and Zabuza stood up and went in Naruto's direction to see Jiraiya and the Hokage. They kneeled down and showed respect. "Nice to see you here, Sandaime-sama."
Hiruzen waved his hand and said with a smile "It's fine. You only need to show such formalities on formal occasions. You don't need to do it every time you see me."
They both nodded and knew this was all because of Naruto. He has a special position in Konoha with all the exemptions he had been given. He even brought a wanted man to the village and he was pardoned. What is it if not special treatment?
"One of the three legendary sannins?" Haku asked in curiosity as he saw the white haired old man.
Jiraiya was stunned to see Haku. She was beautiful! It was natural, Naruto fell for her, just like how I did with Tsunade. He expected someone of Naruto's age to be his girlfriend but this girl was clearly much older than Naruto.
Naruto introduced "That's right, this old man is Jiraiya. You can call him Perverted Sage. Be careful, this old man is a pervert. And this is Haku, my wife, and this is my father-in-law, Zabuza."
Haku blushed at the mention of being Naruto's wife as she was still not used to being referred to that way meanwhile, Jiraiya and Zabuza's face twitched but for different meanings.
Jiraiya coughed and said "Fool! I won't go for such a young lady! At least, she has to be 5-6 years older!"
They ignored Jiraiya's degeneracy as Zabuza asked "What happened to your eyes? And that tattoo on your forehead?"
Haku nodded her head, also curious about what that was about.
"Oh this? It's the marking of a sage."
"Marking of a sage?" Haku tilted her head in confusion
Meanwhile Zabuza looked at Naruto with his mouth wide open and said "Y-Y-You! You learned Sage mode?!" He heard of it before! He was still one of the seven ninja swordsmen of the mist.
(A/N: How do I say this… I, for one, am getting tired of all the shocked reactions but can't do anything about it cause Naruto's been fighting against the will of the heavens with his heaven defying talents. Plus… my vocabulary is considerably vast but when I write… I find myself repeating the same words over and over again T_T XD )
Jiraiya and Hiruzen nodded their heads in approval to Zabuza's reaction as they knew that it was the natural reaction. A 12 year old learning Sage Mode? Where in the world could you find another one?
Haku was still confused so she tugged on Naruto's sleeves "What's sage mode?"
Naruto's eyes widened as he screamed in his mind 'So cute!!!!!!' and explained "Sage mode is…"
As they conversed Haku was nodding a lot while Naruto was explaining with a smile.
Haku then asked as her eyes shone "I see… You've become a sage of wind… Is it possible for me to become the sage of ice?"
Naruto was a bit taken aback but then replied "Hm… I think it'll be a bit more difficult than becoming a sage of wind. Ice element is the mixture of Wind and Water right?"
Haku nodded "That's right."
Naruto stopped talking for a bit and thought 'I see… It's not possible to fuse Chakra Natures if you don't have the bloodline right? But what if it's Natural Energy? Kekeke!' and smiled wickedly.
Jiraiya, Hiruzen, and Zabuza simultaneously frowned and thought 'He just thought of something that'll shock us again right?'
Haku asked in concern "What's wrong? Naruto?"
"Nothing~ but you'll be incredibly strong if you can do it. I don't know about mixing Chakra natures but I guess you can learn to become a sage of water first since it's easier if you want to. I'll help you out."
Haku nodded happily before Naruto said embarrassedly "But first… let me eat… I'm hungry… I haven't eaten in a day."
"..." They all looked at Naruto and bursted out laughing as they forgot, Naruto was still human despite his monstrous talent. "Hahahaa!"
"That's right! You haven't eaten as you've trained." Jiraiya said as he smiled
Haku stood up walking towards the kitchen and smiled, "Sit down, Naruto. I'll prepare food for you."
Naruto smiled and went towards the seat beside the table.
Haku continued "Please sit down, Sandaime-sama, Jiraiya-sama. I'll prepare food for you as well."
They nodded and sat down on the opposite side of Naruto at the table.
"By the way, Jii-chan. I think I can dispel the cursed seal now."
"I see… Come to the office at 9 tomorrow. Remove Anko's cursed seal." Hiruzen nodded
Jiraiya chimed in, "I'll come too. I wanna see how Naruto will remove the cursed seal."
…
"What's this? It's so delicious! You got yourself a good wife! Naruto!" Jiraiya said happily as he ate
"Indeed… It's delicious." Hiruzen followed to praise the food.
"Right?!" Naruto replied bragging.
Zabuza just nodded his head in agreement to their statements. Haku's cooking is indeed delicious.
Haku replied bashfully "Thank you…"
…
After a while they finished eating and Hiruzen said his goodbye "Well then… It's time for me to go, I'll see you tomorrow, Naruto. And Zabuza, I have a mission for you, I think it'll greatly align with your interest. Of course, you can choose to take it or not."
Zabuza flinched for a bit but nodded in reply as he knew it was about Kirigakure. Nothing else would interest him.
Hiruzen nodded as well and walked out of the house with Jiraiya saying "Well… I'll see you tomorrow Naruto."
Naruto simply nodded as he sipped tea that Haku served him.
After sipping tea, he asked "You don't have a mission tomorrow? Do you? Haku?"
"No?" Haku replied
"Great. I'll help you train 'Sage Mode' if you want? How about it?" Naruto stared at Haku
Haku thought for a bit and smiled "Sure!"
Zabuza on the side snorted "You better not do anything to Haku, while I'm not around."
"Zabuza!" Haku embarrassedly replied
Naruto chuckled and teased "I don't know about that…"
"Hey!" Zabuza snappily replied
Naruto then replied again with a laugh "Hahaha! I won't whip my d*** out, don't worry, Father-in-law~"
"Naruto!" Haku blushed on the side as she scolded.
"I got it! I got it! I was just teasing Zabuza. I'm still a bit young, I can't say when I get a bit older tho… Hahaha."
"Tsk!" Zabuza clicked his tongue and drank some beer.
…
A day passed… Hokage's office…
Anko was sitting on a chair inside, as Naruto put his hand on the cursed seal with Hiruzen and Jiraiya watching.
Hiruzen asked "How is it? Can you remove it?"
Naruto nodded and said "I can but it's a bit of a waste… so I'll just remove the 'Natural Energy'. Grit your teeth, Anko-sensei. It'll hurt a bit."
"A waste?" Hiruzen asked in confusion while Naruto just ignored it for now.
Anko nodded in Naruto's instruction
Naruto injected his 'Natural Energy' into Anko's seal.
"Ghhhhhh!" Anko gritted her teeth harder from the pain, as Naruto injected his 'Natural Energy'.
Naruto with his excellent chakra control, instantly surrounded the 'Natural Energy' inside the seal and pulled it out in one swift motion. His palm was now carrying an orb with darkish 'Natural Energy' visible to the eyes.
Naruto smiled and said "Done."
"Huff… huff… huff…" Anko breathed heavily as he nodded looking at the 'Natural Energy' in Naruto's hand. And asked "What's that?"
"This? Just a defective, 'Natural Energy.' It has bits of 'Elemental Natural Energy', and mostly, 'Snake Natural Energy.' No wonder it was so painful for you."
Jiraiya asked as he still saw a cursed mark in Anko's neck "Why did you leave the seal on?"
"Oh that? I can remove it but Anko-sensei? Do you want it removed? I think you can use that as an external chakra storage as long as you fill it with chakra."
Anko in surprise asked as he caressed the seal "It can do that?" then smirked "Don't remove it then."
Naruto smiled and nodded as he turned his attention to the 'Natural Energy' in his palm and dispersed it into thin air.
