Izumo one of the two 'eternal' gate guards. Sighed as his best friend Kotetsu was once again snoozing. Seriously the bastard was lazy as fuck.
Izumo sighed once again. He missed the Uzumaki kid, He knew full who the kids parents were. After all, he met the Yondaime and his wife on several occasions. He knew enough about them to know that the resemblance to the Yondaime was no coincidence, not to mention the kid had his mother's attitude as well.
He suspected that Kakashi knew full well who the blonde was as well, seeing as the masked Jonin was quite persistent on having the blonde on his team after he passed the academy.
Heck the Icha Icha fan had to argue with Anko, Konoha's own snake mistress for the blonde. Anko's reason's for wanting the blonde was because they lived a similar life, and that only she would be able to truly understand him, and give him the attention he needed.
Kakashi's reason's were because, the blonde was his Sensei's son, and that only he could show the blonde what the will of fire truly meant. He thought it was a load of bull, seeing as, from his observations, the blonde knew full well what the will of fire meant. Kotetsu and Anko knew that Kakashi was just being a little selfish, wanting to remain close to his Sensei's son in the closest form possible.
The closest he could get to the blonde, was becoming his Jonin Sensei without causing suspicion.
Anko was a bit heart broken, when the Sandaime took Kakashi's side. He should know, he was a friend of Anko so he knew how depressed and disappointed she was when she couldn't train the blonde and take him as her apprentice.
He remembered how when most of the Jonin's got together and spoke about their students, she would stare at Kakashi in envy when he spoke about Naruto. And how angry she was when he only taught his team the tree walking exercise during a A-rank mission. She exploded and yelled to Kakashi on why he would take Genin on a C-rank mission turned A-rank mission with no support.
Kakashi argued that he let his team decide if they should continue or not. And of course Anko exclaimed that he could have called for back up. Anko angrily said that Kakashi wasn't fit to be a teacher because of his lazy habits and his insufferable tendencies to be late.
The friendship between the two had been a little rocky since than.
However when Anko heard that Kakashi was nominating them for the Chunin exams. She again snapped and was furious with the former ANBU. After the meeting was over, she stomped over to Kakashi, and let her opinion known about his course of action.
She claimed that yet again, that he was unfit to be a Jonin Sensei. Sending fresh Genin to the Chunin exams were like you wanted to kill your team. And that he probably didn't even train his team for the exams let alone taught them anything other than teamwork, which is useless anyway if they didn't cooperate with each other properly.
It was no secret that the Uchiha believed he didn't even need a team. Kakashi argued that Naruto was in his team now, and his student and that if she didn't like it than she could take it with the Hokage.
Anko merely gave Kakashi a angry and cold glare, and told him that she was going to be a exam proctor only to keep an eye on her surrogate little brother.
Many of the people who heard her blinked at the relationship between the two, and before anyone could ask her why she considered the blonde her little brother, she stormed out of the building with a glare to any and everyone who looked at it.
And yet again she was furious when she found out, Kakashi was training Sasuke instead of the blonde. So she set out for finding the blonde... And to her surprise she found him learning under Jiraiya. A smile lit her face knowing that he was in (arguably) good hands.
After witnessing that, she set out to give Kakashi a piece of her mind once again.
No one knew what happened between them, but they all noticed how Kakashi shuddered when someone mentioned a rubber duck and a senbon.
It was somewhat amusing for Izumo. Watching Kakashi shudder every time someone mentioned a rubber duck and senbons. He lightly shook his head, clearing his mind of all thoughts and looked towards the horizon. His eyes narrowed however when he caught sight of three figures heading right towards the gate at a slow and leisurely pace.
He kicked his best friend awake, not only making him fall out of his chair, but for him to also let out a surprised squeak. He silently laughed, before he straightened up when Kotetsu was glaring at him.
He silently gestured his hand to the three figures coming to the gates. Kotetsu's eyes widened slowly, before they gained a bored look to them, though he his body did tense as they were getting closer. When the three figures were close enough... Both of their mouths dropped.
Leading the two was Jiraiya of the sannin. Behind him was a girl with silvery white hair, and pink slitted eyes, with a beauty so natural and beautiful that they needed several moments to regain their composure. However the third and final figure surprise them immensely.
Those robes... The gauntlets with the image of a large nine tailed fox on them... The eagle based sword strapped to his side... The crossbow on his back... It was the A-ranked unknown Shinobi by the moniker fox assassin.
However they were paying more attention to his face that caught their attention, seeing as the hood was off his head. Spiky golden blonde hair tied in what they suspected to be a low ponytail, spiked bangs framing his face. Bright blue eyes that were gazing upon the village with a happy expressed. And the whisker marks on his cheeks. It... Couldn't be... No... It was...
"Uzumaki Naruto." Izumo heard his best friend softly utter, as a large smile came upon their faces. They idly noticed how the whited haired girl had her arm hooked around the blondes arm like a married couple, but they cast that aside... After all, their favorite blonde was back. Gossip could wait.
"Yo! Kotetsu, Izumo. Still on guard duty huh?" Naruto greeted once he was close enough to the two 'eternal' gate guards, a broad grin crossing his features.
Kotetsu, and Izumo chuckled along with the blonde and Sannin. though Shiroi merely gave them a judging stare for a few moments, before she chuckled giggled along with them.
That didn't go unnoticed by Jiraiya, but he filed that away for later.
"Naruto. It's great that your back man, Konoha has been a little dead since you left, to be honest." Ketetsu said, after he gained control of his laughter.
Izumo, gave the blonde a pleasant and teasing grin "And who knew you would bring back a girlfriend eh?" He teased, both of the Chunin were expecting the blonde to stammer and stutter in his sentence, bu to their shock... He smiled and placed his arm around Shiroi's waist.
"Kotetsu, Izumo. I want you to meet Shiroi-chan... My mate, and future wife." Naruto said in a tone of warmth and love for the girl beside him. Shiroi blushed deeply beside her mate, and husband-to-be... though it was unofficial, they had taken to calling each other that since it was obvious it's what they wanted.
Both Kotetsu and Izumo were stunned into silence for a few moments before they suddenly gave Shiroi a judging stare. After several moments, they both leaned back with satisfied expressions on their faces.
"We approve." They both stated at the same time.
Shiroi felt a surge of anger course through her... Who were they to judge their relationship? Who were they to decide if she was any good for Naruto?... Who were they to say that Naruto and her needed their approval!?
Naruto seemed to agree with her, as he spoke in a slightly tense and disapproval in his tone. "Since when did I need anyone's approval on who I chose to marry?"
Both Kotetsu and Izumo glanced at each other before they grinned at the blonde. "Since that day... when you were only six Naruto... The day you met us, was the day we decided to be your surrogate older brothers." Kotetsu commented with warmth and a hint of fondness in his voice.
Naruto stiffened, before a large smile came upon his face as he stared at the two gate guards. "T-Thanks for caring guys."
Meanwhile Shiroi pursed her lips in thought... When Naruto was six... She searched the memories she obtained from the blonde when she drank his blood... Hmm... When he was six... Her eyes widened slightly in realization, that was around the time... Of his fifth beating... Where they nearly ripped his arm off, and one of them tried to gouge his eyes... But these two Chunin saved him... And they... Treated him to Ramen whenever they could.
She looked at the two with new found respect. They definitely deserved to be called his older brothers.
"It's no problem Otoutou. Now get your ass back in the village already! Hokage-sama wants to see you no doubt." Izumo grinned, giving the blonde a thumbs up. Kotetsu gave the blonde a broad and brotherly smile, before he gestured him to enter the village.
"Thanks... Aniki's" Naruto said, a smile adorning his face. Jiraiya gave the blonde a smile, happy that he now had brother figures to look up to.
Shiroi stared at the smile on Naruto's face, and a smile of her own came upon her face just watching this heart warming moment.
Without any further delay the trio entered the village, preparing themselves both mentally and physically.
"Hard to believe he's back huh?" Kotetsu commented.
"Yeah... And he's matured quite well as well... I guess, all that time with Jiraiya-sama worked wonders for the blonde. He even has a future wife." Izumo replied.
Kotetsu grinned "Yeah... I'm glad he forgot about that sakura chick." He said.
Izumo looked at the direction the blonde and his fellow travelers went through. "I wonder... Just how powerful is the gaki now?" He idly questioned.
"Who knows?... He's been with a Sannin for three full years... He must be more way more powerful than Kakashi now." Kotetsu answered.
"You have a point there." Izumo commented.
The duo would have continued their conversation but they were interrupted by a familiar voice saying their names.
"Kotetsu-san, Izumo-san!" The duo looked over, and they noticed a certain pink haired girl with three twelve years behind her. "Ah, Sakura-san, and the Konohamaru corps." Kotetsu observed with a disinterested look.
Izumo snickered slightly at the glare Sakura and the three kids were giving Kotetsu. "Hey. You four will never guess who just came back." Izumo said, with a gleam in his eyes at the curious looks he was receiving.
"So gaki, did Konoha change much since you were last here?" Jiraiya idly commented, staring at his apprentice, ignoring the looks some of the villagers were giving them.
Naruto gave a single glance around, before he shut his eyes. "Nope, not at all ero-Sensei. Same people, same attitude, different day." That was an understatement.
A few villagers gave the blonde a friendly wave now and than, while others merely gave him a neutral look before returning back to work. While most gave the blonde slight scowls but didn't do more than that. Some of the women of the crowd gave him looks of a predator, and lust. But they cowered in fear when Shiroi gave the females her 'evil eye'.
Most of the men gave Shiroi looks of lust, however a quick brust of killing intent from Naruto made them sweat, and look away instantly, and they dared not to look back.
Jiraiya sweat-dropped, at both Naruto's answer, and the actions they were doing.
"TEACH THOSE PATHETIC FLESHING'S THAT THEY DO NOT FUCK WITH YOUR MATE KIT!." Kyuubi suddenly roared, a little angry that those... Insignificant worms dared to look at his container's mate like that... He will not stand for it! Altair pulsed in bloodthirsty agreement.
"See! Even the sword listens to me" The giant fox commented in victory. 'Guys... You know I won't kill them.' Naruto thought.
Kyuubi snorted in disappointment... "You could always maim them ki-... I mean gaki." Kyuubi offered, going tsundere for a moment. Altair pulsed.
'No I will not maim them Kyuubi, and no Altair I will not hack off their limbs.' The blonde thought, sending more killing intent to another male who looked at Shiroi in lust.
Kyuubi snorted in disappointment once again. "Fine than, your choice. Just wake me up when something interesting happens." Kyuubi said, before he went back to sleep. Altair pulsed in disappointment, at not being able to hack off the limbs of those villagers that looked upon his wielder's mate in lust.
Naruto rested his hand upon Altair's pummel 'Don't worry Altair. I'll be sure to use you in tonight's sparring session with my clones kay?" Naruto thought. Altair pulsed in contentment.
Naruto smiled slightly, right before he was forced to send more killing intent to another villager who looked upon Shiroi in lust. Idly he glanced up for what ever reason, and found a good view point. "Hey. Hold on a minute, I want to check out the entire village from that pole." Naruto said, before he ran up the pole, and stopped at the top.
"Showoff." Jiraiya muttered.
Shiroi only slightly shook her head with a smile, before she looked up to see her husband-to-be overlooking the entire village from his view point.
'Heh, they finally added Tsunade baa-chan's face on the mountain huh?" The blonde rhetorically thought, as a fox like grin came upon his features. It was true, they did add Tsunade's face on Hokage mountain. The blonde smiled, it had been such a long time since he saw Tsunade, and his surrogate older sister Shizune.
His robes ruffled in the wind, and his hair seemed to slightly flow as well. He closed his eyes. He loved this feeling, the feeling of the wind brushing against his face, the feeling of freedom.
"Naruto-ni Chan!" A voice yelled excitedly. The blonde glanced down from his perch, to see four figures looking up at him. He grinned, before he spread out his arms, and leaped off his perch and dived down like an eagle going for it's prey. He adjusted his body so that he may be able to land on his feet when he landed. And he landed with a loud thud, right on his feet. Slowly he stood, and faced the stunned newcomers.
"Yo Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi." He casually greeted the trio of newly Graduated Genin. He faced the last figure, and gave her a friendly smile "Yo Sakura." He nodded to her.
The newly arrived others gave Naruto a once over on his attire, and gave his sword a curious look before they filed that away for later.
The air around them drastically decreased in temperature... Was winter coming this early? Seriously for some reason it was cold as the fucking arctic. Except... The only thing that was really freezing was your soul.
Jiraiya shivered at the blank look Shiroi was giving Sakura. An emotion of sadistic glee passed through her eyes before they resumed being blank... But Jiraiya knew that look she had for a splint moment... that was the look she had when she wanted to slowly torture someone and than give them the slowest and painful death possible.
He mentally offered a small prayer out of pity for the pink haired girl... He almost felt bad for her... Almost.
Sakura felt a cold sweat form on the back of her neck... She felt... Cold and hollow almost as if her very soul was being chilled. And just as quickly as it was there, it was gone. Now that the disturbing feeling was gone, she took the time to actually take in Naruto's appearance. And a slight pink hue entered her face. Who knew that the little shrimp she knew as Naruto would become so much taller and more handsome.
He was even more handsome than Sasuke now, and that was somewhat shocking to Sakura. She lightly shook her head, he was still probably the same idiotic blonde she knew. Meaning he still had a crush on her. Confident in her assessment, she gave the blonde a smile.
"So Naruto, do I look more womanly now since the last time you saw me?" Sakura asked, a smile on her face as she stared at the blonde. Though a surge of confusion went through her when she noticed that Naruto's face did not leave it's calm expression.
Feeling a piercing stare boring into her head, she glanced to her right when she noticed movement. And to her surprise, a girl with silvery white hair moved to stand beside the blonde, even though she was taller than white haired girl... She couldn't help but feel as if she were in the presence of a vicious lion that was... Judging her... She felt as if her life was in this girls hands.
Looking into her pink slitted eyes... Sakura couldn't help but feel like she had just done something stupid, and that she was treading on very dangerous grounds... And she didn't even know on what grounds she was treading on.
"Nah Sakura you haven't changed at all since I last saw you." Naruto finally replied in a polite manner. Sakura's eye twitched slightly at his answer, completely forgetting about the ominous feeling in the air, she stared at the blonde in annoyance, though she was also inwardly shocked at the polite manner in which he spoke.
"Naruto-nii chan! Who's the girl next to you?" Konohamaru asked, blushing as he stared at the girl, along with Udon who was also blushing just looking at her. While Moegi, stared in awe at the girls beauty.
Naruto smiled "Shiroi-chan would you like to introduce yourself or should I?" The blonde asked.
The Konohamaru corps, and Sakura noticed the way he called her chan.
Shiroi smiled lovingly at the blonde as she spoke "No I can do it Naruto-kun." She answered, before she turned her head to gaze upon the four individuals.
"Hello it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Shiroi, though I'm not sure if that's the right thing I should say." She greeted with a gleam in her eyes as she trailed off in her sentence. Everyone save Sakura did not notice the gleam in her eyes.
Sakura's eyes narrowed only slightly... What did she mean by that?
"What do you mean by that Shiroi-san?" Moegi asked.
Shiroi gave the three Genin a kind smile, however when she aimed her smile towards Sakura... It become cold and taunting.
"Very well, I guess I should give a proper introduction no?" Shiroi snickered "As I said... My name is Shiroi, however in the future I'm going to be called... Uzumaki Shiroi, seeing as Naruto-kun is my fiance." She finished her sentence with a light bow... And she treasured the look of shock on Sakura's and the Genin's faces.
The Konohamaru's corps eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. This girl was Naruto's wife-to-be?! Thant means... That this was their older sister in a way.
"Shiroi-nee san!"" Konohamaru affectionately exclaimed with the other two excitedly following soon after.
Meanwhile Sakura continued to stare at Shiroi and Naruto in disbelief. It just wasn't possible... Naruto with a fiance? Already? How? What? It? Waa? Her mind mind which had so many book smarts could not comprehend what she had just heard.
A lump formed in her throat as Shiroi turned her head towards her. Naruto was chatting animatedly with the Genin to even notice their transaction, while Jiraiya was currently leering at a couple of women not to far away. Basically meaning... It was just her and Shiroi.
Shiroi's polite and now kind look was off her face... Now replaced with a dark look of sadistic glee as she looked upon Sakura. Sakura could, for the life of her not stop looking into Shiroi's eyes. Visions of her death were soon flashing through her mind, each one more gruesome and bloody than the last.
She couldn't move, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't even think. Fear swept into Sakura heart by just staring into Shiroi's... No this monster's eyes. She felt as if her very soul was being torn apart, and by the look of dark amusement in Shiroi's eyes... Sakura knew that if she had the choice and could get away with it... She would rearrange her soul into the order she most likely preferred best... Leaving Sakura as an eternally broken beyond belief... Or as a slave.
Sakura released a breathe she hadn't known she was holding when Shiroi removed her gaze. She prayed to whatever god out there that would listen to never leave her in a room alone with Shiroi... She didn't think she could handle it... Just being stared at by her was enough to nearly sent her into a seizure.
"Alright that's enough everyone, you can play catch up later. Right now we have to get to Tsunade before she decides to cave in my skull for being late." Jiraiya joked, having finished his leering at the group of females... Oh yeah he had gotten some awesome research material.
The Konohamaru corps looked a bit disappointed before they brightened up when Naruto promised to talk with them later. Sakura offered to escort them to the Hokage's office, seeing as she needed to report to the Hokage's office anyway. They agreed and set off, though Sakura made sure to stay at least Four feet away from Naruto, seeing as Shiroi would glare at her whenever she got to close.
It didn't take them long to reach the Hokage tower, when they did, they quickly entered and ignored the secretary who was telling them they needed an appointment. Seriously they've had an appointment for three years they didn't have to fucking wait!
Tsunade was in a battle that took priority, for she was fighting an enemy so evil, and vile that even Uchiha Madara whimpered when it was mentioned. What evil could be so vile and dastardly that even Uchiha Madara whimpered when it was mentioned you may ask...?
That evil... Was... The dreaded paperwork.
Tsunade sighed in accomplishment as she had gotten at least five-hundred documents signed, that means she only had ten more documents to go. She was so happy that she could perform a tap dance. She glanced over at the last bit of paper she had to do... And her eyes widened to epic drastically as the it had gotten bigger by at least TEN-FOLD!
She inwardly cried anime tears as she now had even more work to do and the snickering ANBU were not helping!. She looked over at the portraits of the other past Hokages, and she glared at the grinning portrait of Minato.
"Damn you Minato! How did you get your paper work done so quickly!?" She angrily exclaimed. The grin on the portrait of Minato seem to get wider slightly, and it gave her a wink.
"Now that's just creepy." Tsunade uttered, before she turned casting off as the stress finally getting to her. Though if she turned back around she would have seen the portrait's grin widen more and it seemed to cackle at Tsunade's plead, before it went right back into it's normal pose... Let's ignore that ever happened alright?
Tsunade was distracted from her own 'hell' of paper when knocking came upon her door.
A chibi Tsundae was happily dancing in her mind, thanking Kami for the break she would have. "Come in!" She yelled happily. In response both the window behind her and the door opened, from the door entered Sakura with a silvery white haired girl with pink slitted eyes. Though Tsunade raised an eyebrow when she noticed that Sakura seemed to give her cautious glances, while the girl merely had a polite and pleasant smile.
And from the window, entered Jiraiya and... Her breathe hitched in her throat as she caught sight of golden blonde hair. It couldn't be could it?
However she caught sight of the whisker marks, and she knew... This was Naruto.
A smile lit her face, and without any further restraint, she shot up from her seat and moved towards the blonde.
"Yo Obaa-chan!" Naruto greeted a grin forming on his lips. Tsunade once she was close enough, flickered his forehead causing him to stumble slightly. Hey Tsunade was still as strong as hell, so it's understandable that a Chakra enhanced flick would make him stumble and feel a slight pain.
"Don't call me old you little gaki!" Tsunade exclaimed as she shook her fist at the blonde.
"Ho? Is Obaa Chan afraid of being called out on her true age." Naruto teased, a smirk on his features.
Tsunade's eye twitched, and she was about to give her fellow blonde a another flick to his forehead, when a slight giggle caught her attention. Curious, she turned her gaze to the silvery white haired girl that came in with Sakura, and she noticed how she was staring at the blonde with affection and a warmness that reminded her of how she looked at Dan.
She eye's slightly widened, before they returned to normal. "So you must be Shiroi correct?" Tsunade asked, a curious expression on her face as she stared at the girl.
Shiroi smiled politely at the older woman, before she nodded. Meanwhile Sakura was inwardly smirking a bit on the inside, If her Sensei learned of the engagement between Naruto and Shiroi than she would immediately pound Naruto, before setting him straight, and than telling the white haired girl to get lost. Oh yes Sakura couldn't wait fo-
"It's nice to meet you Shiroi. So your marrying the gaki huh? Alright so far... I like you already, you have that look in your eyes that kinda reminds me of another woman I knew at some point." Tsunade said, a grin forming on her face. Some of the ANBU's jaw dropped when they heard Naruto was marrying the white haired girl.
Sakura's jaw dropped... W-What!? Why wasn't her teacher pounding Naruto into the ground? Why wasn't she reprimanding him on getting engaged to a girl like this!? Couldn't she see how much of a monster she was!?
"It's a pleasure to meet you Tsunade-sama." Shiroi politely said.
"Ho! Ho! And she's polite to! You could learn something from her gaki." Tsunade grinned, giving Naruto a pointed stare. Her fellow blonde merely snickered at her.
Shiroi silently giggled at Tsunade's now annoyed expression at hearing the blonde's snicker. Oh how her Naruto could her giggle no matter what situation he's in.
Meanwhile Sakura's brain is still trying to reboot, after seeing Tsunade's reaction to Shiroi... Folks... I think we just broke Sakura... And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing
"So tell me gaki. What do you want exactly?" Tsunade asked, getting right down to business.
Naruto gave her an innocent look "Why Obaa-chan I have no idea what yo-"
"You wouldn't come to my office when you get back your training trip without at least going for some Ramen... Or you would at least wait a day. So what do you want?" Tsunade interrupted, giving the blonde a smug look on calling him out.
Naruto frowned for a moment before he chuckled "You know me so well Baa-chan." He grinned. He gestured Shiroi to come stand beside, Shiroi seeing no reason to not listen to her favorite blonde, moved to stand beside him.
Once she did, the blonde gently took her hand into his, She smiled, and gripped his hand. "As you can see Obaa-chan... There's gonna be two of us living in the same place. And I don't think my small apartment is big enough for the two of us." The blonde explained.
"So you want to buy a new house or apartment." Tsunade quickly deduced, though inside her mind a Chibi version of her was happily dancing while plies of money were laying around her.
Naruto nodded at Tsunade assessment. "Yeah, so could you allow me and Shiroi to browse through a couple house you may have?" He asked.
Tsunade silently took out a folder labeled 'Homes for sale' and offered it to the younger blonde. Naruto took the folder and shortly after she and Shiroi were browsing through the house that caught their attention, with some comments like 'Oh this house seems nice' or 'Wow this one is actually impressive' and 'they actually call this a house... that isn't even a homeless shelter'.
Tsunade's eye twitched as the comments went on and on... And on! Seriously every time Shiroi opened her mouth it was to insult a house, or say it was impressive before she would turn the page and look at more! Seriously a lot of those houses were expensive and she just brushed them off! What were the girls standards!?
Though Naruto seemed to notice Tsunade's annoyed state, as he gave her an amused look. Tsunade rose an eyebrow... Before she noticed that Shiroi was giving her the same amused look... SHE WAS INSULTING THE HOUSES ON PURPOSE! That little!-
Tsunade took a deep breathe to calm herself... And she glared at Jiraiya and the hidden ANBU when she heard them snickering.
Several minutes later Shiroi and the blonde were FINALLY done browsing the house's they had.
"You have a lot of good houses Obaa-Chan. But Shiroi and I have found a house that we would like to purchase." Naruto said handing Tsunade the picture of a White three story house, with the most beautiful gardens, and a a balcony on the top floor.
The house had two bathrooms, three rooms on each floor, a kitchen, a large living room, an attic, and a large basement.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow at the blonde. This was one of the most expensive houses they had, and a house that almost all of the villagers have tried to buy. But the house couldn't be purchased because it was way to expensive even by Shinobi standards... And because that was the house Minato was secretly building should he ever have a large family... Not that anyone knew that.
After all, the only people who knew about the house being built by the Yondaime was her, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Hiruzen the Sandaime Hokage.
"You sure you want this house gaki?" Tsunade asked, even though she was planning on giving the blonde the house for free anyway.
"Of course we would like to purchase it Tsunade-sama." Shiroi politely said.
Tsunade gave a slight grin "Well you two are in luck. You see the house was created by the Yondaime, and it was meant to be given to you Naruto." She said. The message was very clear 'it was created by your father, so it's your right'.
Naruto hummed for a few minutes, before he looked at Shiroi's expectant look. The message she was giving him was clear, 'Take the house, it would be a perfect opportunity to be close with your parents'.
The blonde smiled before he gave Tsunade a short nod.
Tsunade smiled as she had seen the interaction with the two. To think that they would be able to interact like that without actually speaking was incredible. "Alright gaki." Tsunade began, as she reached into her desk drawl and pulled out a small key. "Take good care of the house, also be prepared for extra attention from the villagers." She warned.
Naruto rose an eyebrow "Why Baa-Chan?" He asked with a confused expression.
Tsunade handed him the key, and she spoke shortly after he took it. "Because almost the whole village has had their eyes on the house. But they could never afford it, so you might be getting some envious looks from them."
Shiroi gave a small smirk :I'm pretty sure we can handle it Tsunnade-sama." She politely, and confidently said.
Tsunade gave a small smirk to the white haired girl "I'm sure you can. Now get you boyfriend and get out of here, I need to talk with Jiraiya." she said.
The duo of both Shiroi and Naruto shrugged, before they walked past a still shock frozen Sakura and left the door. But before they Naruto threw in one last sentence that made Tsunade want to bang her head on the desk.
"Yo Baa-Chan as thanks for the house. The secret to defeating paperwork is Shadow clones." He gave Tsunade a grin before he closed the door.
Tsunade felt the world around her stop, and she wanted to bang her head on the ground and say how stupid she was. Bu she couldn't not when witnesses were here... She could do that later. "Sakura!" Tsunade yelled towards her still shocked student.
"Huh?" Sakura blinked in a daze, she was having a weird dream that Naruto was actually getting married.
"Sakura get out of here will ya? I need to speak with Jiraiya about something. And your in the way!" Tsunade said to her now attentive student.
"R-Right I understand Tsunade-sama." Sakura bowed, before she left wondering if the dream she had was real... Poor Sakura she can't even accept the fact that Naruto is now engaged.
Sure that her student was now gone, the busty blonde turned towards Jiraiya. "Now think you can explain to me just how strong Naruto is now?.. And Kakashi get in here!" She yelled shortly after her sentence. She didn't have to wait long, as the window to her office opened and in entered the masked Jonin. "Yo." He lazily greeted as he moved to stand in front of the Hokage's desk.
Though Tusunade could detect a hint of shock within his eyes. Looks he arrived when she said Naruto was engaged.
"Before I begin I have to ask Hime. Could you get rid of your ANBU?" Jiraiya seriously asked.
Tsunade only made a single hand-sign, and the ANBU suddenly phased into existence before they all blurred out of the room.
"Is that all of them?" The perverted sage asked.
Tsunade knew why he asked, as they was another presence in the room besides Kakashi, her, and the pervert. Silently the busty blonde nodded.
Jiraiya narrowed his before he blurred, a loud snapping sound was heard. And both Tsunade and Kakashi turned to see Jiraiya holding the neck of a dead ANBU with the ROOT insignia on it's mask. The body glowed for a minute before it burst into flames, turning the entire body to ash.
"Looks like Danzo is getting bolder." Jiraiya grunted.
"It seems so." Kakashi uttered staring at the dead ROOT ANBU.
Tsunade scoffed "Sometimes I just want to kill that war hawk, even if I have no evidence to support it." She darkly said.
Jiraiya grunted an agreement before he moved back to stand before Tsunade. "Now about our favorite blonde." He said, his attitude taking on a fatherly look to his eyes.
"I myself am also curious Jiraiya-sama." Kakashi said, looking at the toad sage in curiosity.
"Just get on with it!" Tsunade impatiently yelled.
Jiraiya smirked for a moment "Naruto... Has long since surpassed me." He said, pride brimming in his voice.
Tsunade and Kakashi looked at him in disbelief before Kakashi spoke. "Your kidding right Jiraiya-sama?" He asked.
"I'm not kidding Kakashi. That gaki has surpassed me. In tactics and strategy he's above your level Kakashi by a large margin if I do say so myself. In NinJutsu he's at least mid-level Kage. In GenJutsu he's high-level Genin but that's understandable given his Chakra reserves. His TaiJutsu is low-level Kage, and his KenJutsu is high-level Kage. He's mastered SenJutsu and He has control of two tails of the Kyuubi's Chakra." The perverted sage explained.
"All in all. He almost at either Uchiha Madara's level... Or the Shodaime Hokage's level." He finished.
To say both Kakashi and Tsunade were shocked would be an understatement. The little blonde boy, who claimed he would be Hokage no matter what... Was almost as strong as two of the greatest Shinobi in history. To think he would come so far... It made Tsunade and Kakashi smile.
"So your saying that instead of Genin he should be a Jonin?" Tsunade asked, the smile not leaving her face.
Jiraiya gave a short nod.
Tsunade closed her eyes for several moments before she opened them. "Kakashi once Naruto has finished settling in, I want you to test him in combat in order for to receive Jonin rank. I want to see his prowess myself." Tsunade declared.
"I understand Tsunade-sama." Kakashi curtly replied, a feeling of anticipation welling up inside him.
Tsunade gave a satisfied nod, before she returned her attention back to Jiraiya. "Now what can you tell me about Shiroi?" She curiously asked. Kakashi curiously looked at Jiraiya, wondering about the girl who was apparently going to marry his former student.
"I can tell you this Tsunade-hime, Kakashi... Trying to separate her from Naruto is a death wish." The white haired sannin ominously stated. "She may seem like a well mannered, kind, and polite girl... But once you've made her angry she does a complete personally change... She becomes dark, sadistic, cruel, and most importantly... merciless." Jiraiya shuddered.
Kakashi and Tsunade both glanced at each other, before they looked at the Toad sage in worry.
"She can get angry, but when you've truly pissed her off... Their was only two times in which that happened. The first was when she learned of Naruto's life in the village-" Both Kakashi and Tsunade stiffened.
"-When she learned of this... I was certain you could feel her rage from at least four miles away... Naruto was able to calm her down, but I could still feel the suppressed rage that was within her... The second time, was when Naruto overworked himself in his training. So me and her went to get some supplies-" Both Kakashi and Tsunade noticed how Jiraiya shuddered again.
"-A civilian began hitting on her, trying to get her on a date of course. She politely denied, saying she already had a boyfriend. But people are stubborn, and he made the mistake of insulting Naruto. I can still remember the blank look she had on her face... Than she asked me to go on ahead. I did, but I jumped on a roof to see how the interaction would go-" Here he took a deep breathe.
"-I didn't even see it, but one second the guy was standing... The next he was on the ground screaming in pain, as Shiroi literally ripped off his arm from his socket. Before I could stop her, she ripped off his other arm, than she crushed them until nothing remained but ashes. When I stopped her, I saw the look in her eyes-" Jiraiya's eyes glazed over, and once again he shuddered.
"-The look in her eyes, was of a feral rage so hot, that it could have made even the Kyuubi whimper in pure fear. Not only that, but there was also a gleam of dark sadistic, amusement in their, but rage was the most definite. And the cruel smile on her face spoke volumes." He finished.
Slowly Jiraiya leaned forward "This is a warning that should be taken seriously Tsunade. Do NOT make Shiroi truly angry... And pray that the villagers don't do anything stupid. Make no mistake, she is a threat... But only if provoked." He seriously warned.
"We understand Jiraiya." Tsunade said, while Kakashi merely pulled out his Icha Icha. Though Tsunade could see he wasn't paying attention to the book at all.
Jiraiya nodded in a satisfied manner "Well it's time for me to perform some research." He grinned in a perverse manner, before he jumped out the window before Tsunade could yell at him.
"I should get going as well Tsunade-sama." Kakashi lazily said "I do have to prepare for my fight with Naruto do I not?" He stated, before he turned and silently left the room.
Tsunade sighed, before she reached into her cabinet and pulled out an entire bottle of sake. she poured herself a cup, before she sipped the sake, and released a content sigh. She looked out the window, to look over the entire village, and she let out a wary sigh.
She hoped, prayed... No she begged Kami to not let the villagers do anything stupid... Because she feared that the village was already on thin ice as it was.
