Since Minato and Kushina are alive and well the girls and their respective Team waited one year to take the (Canon) Chuunin Exams.

Fruit Used:

For Naruto:

Ope Ope no Mi – Operation Fruit - (Trafalgar Law)

NO OTHER FRUITS WILL APPEAR! NO OTHER SO DON'T ASK, THOSE FRUITS ARE EXTINCT!

Pairing: Naruto/Karin and later Naruto/Karin/Naruko and Minako.

Naruko and Minako are two Ocs, Twin sisters born after Naruto and that hold respectively the Yang-Half of Kurama (Naruko) and Ying-Half (Minako).

Naruto is their Big Brother, born 5 years before Obito's attack on Konoha that forced Minato to seal the Kyuubi inside the two girls. NO BAD PARENTS!Minato and Kushina.

Naruto's attitude has a reason, I prefer to tell you now before you start telling me I made him into an asshole.

"You bastard" - demon talking / jutsu.

"Let's finish this" – dialogue.

" Can it get any worse? " - during flashback/Thoughts.

Have you seen how Trafalgar Law was dressed in Punk Hazard Arc? There, Naruto is like that plus the sword, sans the tattoos. Just to be clear.

Naruto the Thrice Cursed Chapter 1: The man with Three Curses.

Konoha – Hokage Tower – Hokage's Office -

"WE HAVE A BROTHER?!" a girl with long red hair and wearing a deep-red jumpsuit with black sleeves and black pants shrieked in shock.

"Why you never told us, dad?" the girl's twin sister, and wearing identical clothes,asked equally shocked.

They were Minako and Naruko Namikaze, twin daughters of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina; the girls were perfectly identical twins resembling a tiny version of their mother but with their father's azure eyes, the only way to distinguish the two were the peculiar whiskers-like markings on their face as Minako had three on each cheek while Naruko had only two.

"We never told you for a simple reason...shame..." Kushina admitted with a sigh and unable to meet her daughters' eyes.

"Why? Was he a failure?" Minako asked.

"NO!" Minato answered angrily and slamming his fist of his desk before dropping down on his chair to bury his face in his hands.

"He was...He was braver at five years of age than what I was at twenty five...I never told anyone because I didn't want him to be ashamed by admitting to have me as his father..." the man admitted sighing.

"What happened?" Naruko asked confused.

"Years ago, when you two were just born a masked man attacked me to extract the Kyuubi..." Kushina whispered.

"The Fox? The one you said we have half each inside us?" Minako asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, we had barely managed to seal the two halves inside you two as soon as you were born when that man attacked us killing the ANBU guarding the area before taking you, Minako, as an hostage." the woman answered.

"Me!?" the young girl said shocked.

"He covered you, a newborn, in explosive tags and ordered me to hand-over your mother so that he could extract the Kyuubi, and contrary to the method we used I knew he would not have made sure Kushina would survive the thing...it was then that one of the nurses that helped us blurted-out the fact that the Fox was no longer inside your mother." Minato said with a strangled sob.

"And then? What happened?" Naruko asked.

"That man was enraged and threatened me, he would have killed you, Minako, had the Kyuubi Vessel not be given to him...he couldn't know that he was already holding half the Fox in his hands...and I...I almost told him so in fear of losing one of you." Minato admitted with an ashamed expression.

"And our brother?"

"He must have somehow understood the situation, because barely a second later he walked forward telling him HE was the new Jinchuuriki...he just...he just gave me and your mother a smile and lied to that man." the Fourth Hokage answered.

"So he took him?" Naruko asked.

"I tried to save both Minako and Naruto at the same time, but that man simply launched your sister up in the air and my instinct forced me to first grab her, when I looked away from the baby in my arms he was long gone with your brother...I have never seen him again nor my son..." the man answered.

"Naruto...That's why you called me like him, to honor his sacrifice!" Naruko said shocked.

"It was a pathetic way to remember him, I am sorry...I made a terrible mistake, I should have saved both!" Minato answered moving to catch both girls in a strong hug.

"You couldn't expect him to threaten a newborn baby, and I am sure our Oniichan is not holding a grudge!" Naruko said patting her father's back.

"It's a miracle to know that he is still alive and here in Konoha, but the fact that he never tried to contact us leaves me in fear of him hating us for never trying to save him..." Kushina admitted.

"Why? You never tried to find him?" Minako asked.

"We tried, but the man had hidden his traces well, and two years later we renounced; we believed that he would have killed Naruto as soon as he discovered the Fox was not inside him, so we focused on keeping you two safe...but that man never returned to try again and in the meantime we managed to hide the identity of Konoha's Jinchuuriki so to give you two a normal childhood." the Fourth Hokage answered.

"Maybe your brother by some miracle managed to escape, but seeing no-one looking for him..." Kushina added leaving her words hang in the air unable to finish her sentence.

"Where is he now? You said he was in Konoha." Minako asked.

"Can we meet him?" Naruko asked as well.

"Sigh! You really want to meet him? He will probably not even show any reaction at seeing you, last time you saw each other he was five and you were newborns..." Minato said sighing sadly.

"...We still want to meet him, please, Dad!" Minako said after she and her sister exchanged a short glance of non-verbal communication.

"Okay. Okay, come with me. I was going there myself...you coming, Kushi-chan?" the Hokage asked.

"I am, I-I need to see him myself. I need to see my baby boy alive and well!" Kushina answered nodding.

"Sigh! Then come with me, I'll have Ibiki use the cell normally used for interrogations." Minato answered.

"HE IS WITH IBIKI!?" the three women in the office yelled as one.

"We managed to capture him after a long hunt, he had been living in Mist Village under fake identity for the last ten years, he even took his Chuunin Exam in Kumo last year, it was by mere luck that one of our spies discovered his real identity as Naruto and alert us, three months later and everything was ready to bring him here, a squad of ANBU delivered him to Ibiki yesterday and they notified me immediately, I just preferred to wait for your return from your respective C-Rank Mission just in case you too wished to come." Minato answered.

"Our son has slept in a cell last night?! YOU CAN'T PRETEND HIM TO BE OPEN TO FORGIVE US IF WE BEGIN LIKE THAT'EBBANE!" Kushina howled in fury.

"IT WAS PROTOCOL! I had my hands tied since he was recognized as a shinobi of a non-allied Shinobi Village, especially since Mist up until last year was drowning in a Civil War and didn't even had a 'proper' Mizukage!" the Hokage replied rapidly and with a scared expression.

"We'll explain it to him, Kaasan! He will understand!" Minako said equally scared.

"I bet Mist has a similar rule! He won't be angry!" Naruko added while hiding behind her sister.

"I really hope so, come on. LET'S GO THERE!" the woman answered as she marched out.

"...Dad? Why mom is no longer an active ninja?" Naruko asked shivering.

"We are no longer in a Shinobi War, darling. Unleashing your mother on the others would have been seen as an act of unnecessary cruelty even without the Kyuubi backing her up." Minato answered taking deep calming breaths.

"Not that she needs the Fox to be dangerous..." Minako muttered as they too left the office.

Few minutes later – T&I Department – Ibiki's office -

"Hokage-sama." Morino Ibiki said giving a deep bow to Minato as soon as he and his family entered.

"This is personal business and you know it, Ibiki-kun, so drop the formalities. How's he?" the man said worried.

"The boys had been gentle once discovered he was your own son, Minato. But he is one stoic bastard so you can stay sure he is okay...he is even too much calm actually," the scarred man answered signaling the others to follow.

"Mind-walking?" Minato asked.

"We preferred not to...he had this at the base of his neck near the left shoulder." Ibiki answered uncertain and showing a picture to the blond man.

"T-T-This is..." he said paling considerably.

"A Cursed Seal, 100% Made by Orochimaru. If we have to believe him he got the 'Anko Treatment' some time ago and that is his souvenir." the Head of the Torture and Interrogation Department answered grimacing.

"Anko Treatment?" Naruko asked confused.

"It means he got experimented on and treated like family before that lurid bastard left him behind and with his own mark as the sole reminder of all his lies...The stigma of that traitor." a woman with purple hair hissed angrily in answer as she joined the group.

"Calm down, Anko. He too had been used, he didn't take the Seal voluntarily." Ibiki answered glaring at her.

"I am not angry at him, but at Orochimaru for doing this again to someone else." Anko answered cupping her shoulder with a disgusted expression.

"Another thing is that when we tried to suppress it the boy reacted violently, he almost managed to bite clearly off the hand of one of my colleagues." the T&I Head said shaking his head.

"Why?" Kushina asked shocked.

"He didn't want to say why at first, so I personally had to tire him down until he admitted that whatever that Snake fetishist did to him during his experiments years ago now it's only that Cursed Seal that is stopping it from killing him, so if we remove that Seal your son will die...at least this is what he told us, so to be safe we didn't try to suppress it anymore, just in case that too could kill him." Ibiki answered helpless.

"What kind of experiments did that traitor do with my baby?!" Kushina asked grabbing Ibiki's collar to slam him against the wall.

"I don't know, okay!? He won't tell and that thing stops Inochi from entering in his head, contrary to Anko's Seal that is dormant his is still perfectly active and will attack whoever enters as we know and saw happen in other cases with prototype seals, we can only guess how 'vicious' a perfected one would be!" the man replied equally angry.

"Let him go, Kushi-chan. Let's just meet our boy." Minato said while gently separating the two.

"Okay...Okay, I am calm...sorry, Ibiki." the woman said taking deep breaths.

"Naah, It's fine. It's understandable...the boy is down there in room 24 and already hand-cuffed to the table and waiting for us." the man answered unconcerned.

"What can you tell us about him? How's he?" Naruko asked.

"Is he okay?" Minako added.

"I can tell you that he is healthy, sharp-eyed and a smart-ass...well-off economically speaking as well, when we caught him he was wearing a 'Punk Hazard'coat and hat, those shops are not cheap." Ibiki answered snorting.

"Any news about his abilities?" Minato asked.

"Still soon to talk about abilities, but he is surely a registered Chuunin of Mist Village, fake identity or not the fight was regular so he has what it takes for the rank...anything else will need to wait for our spies to gather up the full info." Ibiki answered.

"Nothing else?" Kushina asked.

"He seems to be an accomplished swordsman, I would have chosen another sword though as a cursed one is a big weight to keep around." the scarred man answered shrugging.

"A cursed sword?" Minato said confused.

"Here: the infamous Kikoku itself, not a copy. It's a large version of your normal everyday nodachi: oblong-shaped hand-guard trimmed with short white fur, a purple grip with two white rings around it and a yellow pommel, sheathed in a black scabbard decorated by white crosses from the opening to the bottom and with a small piece of red rope tied near its opening. Pretty big and heavy so not the usual weapon you strap to your back." Ibiki answered.

"Kikoku...an honest-to-God Ō Wazamono (Great Grade Sword) and both a Meito and a Yoko to booth..." Minato muttered impressed while looking at the pictures the others took of his son's possessions.

"Meito?" Minako asked.

"Yoko?" Naruko asked.

"Meito: A sword that has gained its own fame, that people would recognize it upon seeing it. In your brother's case this 'Fame' comes from his sword being an 'infamous' Yoko." Kushina answered.

"Which is a sword that carries a curse and brings misfortune to its wielders. This Curse usually can be overpowered if the user's luck is superior to its own power of misfortune." Minato added.

"Should I confiscate it?" Ibiki asked curious.

"No, if he can wield it it means he has defeated its curse, and unless we lock it somewhere away from human hands we would have a long stream of dead men on our conscience ESPECIALLY since the blade may resent us from removing it from its Master." the blond man answered shaking his head.

"As you wish. Here we are, your son is behind this door. Me and Anko will be behind the double mirror watching, the ANBU inside will actually leave if you insist, but I would prefer them remaining just in case."

"We have nothing to fear from our son, right Minato?" Kushina said in determination.

"Right!"

"As you wish. Go on, the show is yours now." the scarred man said as he and Anko entered from the door immediately next to the one Minato and his family were standing in front of with scared expressions on their faces.

"..."

"...Nervous?" Kushina whispered.

"Yeah...what about you?"

"Me too."

"On three?" Naruko offered swallowing hard.

"On three." the Hokage answered nodding.

"One..." Kushina said.

"Two..." Minako continued.

"THREE!" Naruko said as the whole family shoved open the door to hurry inside and actually falling on an heap in front of the table in the middle of the room.

Once recomposed himself and helped his wife and daughters to do the same Minato actually gave a look to the young man that should have been the son he had been forced to abandon years earlier; and he actually found himself relaxing at seeing his being at least in apparent good health once recognized that yes, that was definitely his son Naruto that the Masked Man had took away that night.

The prisoner was a slim man of a relatively tall height with faint shadows right under his cerulean eyes; sporting sun-kissed blond hair a majority of which obscured by his hat (northern-style covered in short white fur with spots on the bottom and a thick 'bill' on the front) save for his sideburns and small goatee.

He was still wearing his yellow hooded t-shirt and black pants all covered by a long black coat at the moment opened on the front and the dark, pointed shoes he had on himself when the Hunter-nins brought him to Konoha instead of the normal prisoner garb; making Minato sigh in relief at understanding how well he had been treated by the others.

"Earrings?" Kushina hissed at her husband at seeing the young man's pierced ears.

"He seems like a cool guy..." Minako muttered to her sister, surprised to see how taller he was than her (she and her sister would probably need to stand on their toes to be as tall as him, she mused) .

"Very handsome. We'll have to protect him from those dirty girls that will try to court him once released." Naruko answered nodding.

"Yeah!"

"Can I help you?" Naruto asked curious, regretting the question once he saw the four take in an huge breath with a wide smile on their face.

"I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!SO YOU ARE MY BROTHER?MY BABY, YOU ARE FINALLY HOME!HI, I AM YOUR SISTER MINAKO!" the four answered at the same time making the ANBU present and the prisoner sweat-drop.

"...Eh?" the blond hand-cuffed to the table said in confusion.

"Ehm! Hokage-sama...can you please talk one at a time and slower? I don't think he understood a word of what you said." one of the ANBU said shyly.

"Oh!" Minato muttered embarrassed.

"So you are the Hokage? I imagined you to be taller."

"You are my son? You really are Naruto?" Kushina asked pleadingly.

"I don't go by that name in a looong time, red-hair-ya." the other answered.

"Red-hair-ya?" Kushina repeated with an heavy eye-tick.

"I don't know your names, so I have to improvise." the young man answered shrugging.

"I find hard to believe you don't know our names, we are pretty well known," Minato said sitting in front of his fellow blond.

"You have my hair and eye-colour, but the face structure is all Kushina's..." he then said with a longing sigh.

"Okay, okay! I know who you are. But what do you want from me?" the young man asked sighing.

"We." Minato said pointing at himself and then at Kushina and the Twins, "are your family and wish to have you back." he then said.

"Listen. I may be born here, but I have a life in Mist now, you can't pretend me to forget everything and return here."

"Why not?!" Kushina asked shocked.

"I am 21 and I lived in Mist Village ever since I was 15 after jumping from a foster family to the other around the Elemental Countries, my life is in there now." he answered.

"But...but..." the red-haired woman stuttered in horror.

"Listen, give us a chance, I don't know how you managed to survive and escape from that man, but we can help you! We can even find a way to remove Orochimaru's Cursed Seal without killing you!" Minato said.

"You can't remove it. Or better, you could as it was made to be removable by Orochimaru himself..." Naruto said shaking his head.

"Then we can do this! We can save you!" the Fourth Hokage answered smiling wide.

"I am cursed, my dear Hokage-ya...I have three curses hanging over me and this Seal on my neck is the only thing stopping them from breaking-down my body." the other said sighing.

"Three curses?" Minako asked worried.

"I can't tell."

"Get out, get out and tell Ibiki to come here and Anko to stay outside and be sure no-one is spying." Minato ordered immediately.

"As you wish, Hokage-sama." the ANBU Captain in the room said immediately before he and his men left the room.

"Here I am, Hokage-sama." Ibiki said as barely a minute later he entered the interrogation room closing the door behind himself.

"The recording." Kushina added.

"Already disabled." the man answered nodding.

"Okay, Naruto. We are alone and no-one other than us will know. Tell us how we can help." Minato said grabbing his son's hands and recoiling in shock at seeing him trying to free his fingers from the man's hold.

"...Sigh! Fine. I have three curses on me, a gift from Orochimaru. While I was guest of the Snake Sannin he gave me an extract..."

Hidden Base – Orochimaru's lab – Naruto Age: 6 -

In an ample room housing an incredibly furnished lab there could be seen a big metallic table where a blond kid had been strapped onto looking at the man looming above him with a small, satisfied smile.

"What's wrong, Naruto-kun? This is what you wanted...power and a way to get revenge on your dear daddy! You won't chicken out now, ne?" the pale man asked with a mocking sad expression.

"Orochimaru-sama, the extract is ready." an unidentified voice said from outside the kid's field of vision.

"Perfect! Do you remember the strange fruit dish you saw once entered here, Naru-kun?" Orochimaru said pointing at a near table and at the small dish holding three strange fruits that were enveloped in a translucent white flame and at the clear liquid dripping from it into a vial through several tubes.

"Uh?" the trapped kid muttered from his mouth-gag.

"I have some years got my hands on a very special plant I even managed to salvage from Konoha's dirty hands when they forced me to flee, it produces cursed fruits able to simulate Bloodline Abilities! But they have several downsides..." the Snake Sannin said, this time showing a real sad expression.

"The Bloodline can be used by only one person and at their death the plant 'regrows' the fruit containing said power, we tested several times and saw that no matter what the fruit's curse does not transfer to the descendants." the same unknown voice explained.

"Until now, that is..." the Sannin added smirking smugly.

"Because, you see...I have found a way to fuse the fruit with the subject enough for it to pass-on on their children and become a proper Bloodline Ability. Why you may ask? Well, I'll just tell you that I may need someone with those abilities one day and I prefer to have their children have those powers and be loyal only to me." Orochimaru said chuckling darkly.

"But there was another problem, few months ago I have found myself wondering...Why only one fruit? Why not have someone eat two? Or three?...The final result wasn't a nice spectacle even for my tastes." the man added grimacing.

"The subjects all had their bodies break apart as soon as they gave a bite to the second fruit, either having their flesh 'melt' or down-right 'exploding' like water balloons. It was not nice to watch." the stranger added with a gagging tone.

"It was baffling, why that happened? Why someone could not get more than one power? Was it a joke of God? Of the Devil? It was the same as mixing existing Bloodlines, no results other than the death of the subject. Then I had the admittedly bad idea of starting to use the extract of the fruits instead of having the subjects eat them directly...Same results but with the added bonus that the fruit was then lost forever never to regrow on the plant." Orochimaru said with an ashamed expression at the 'waste' of said fruits.

"In the end only four Fruit remained, the one of the first Test Subject of the 'Fruit Serum Extraction' method and those three we are going to us on you, Naruto-kun." the faceless voice said making the boy feel an hand mockingly pat his head.

"Since those can't apparently be cloned, and I tried everything so trust my words, this will be the final chance and then I'll be back on my Bloodline researches and completely forget about those fruits...yes, you'll be also dead if something goes wrong, but at least I would be able to say I made an honest try to help you." Orochimaru said shrugging before taking the now full vial of extract to pass it to his still unknown assistant.

"I had a brainwave yesterday, my Cursed Seal can empower the User's body and even transform it and infuse Nature's Energy inside their body...So I told myself: 'Maybe I can use one to strengthen the human body healing abilities to sustain the transformation!' But who to use? The answer literally fell in my arms when I remembered the kid I took away with me when I left Akatsuki few months prior to that moment. You!"

"Orochimaru-sama theorized that your Uzumaki blood's natural High vitality and Healing powers would make you a perfect candidate once the Cursed Seal had been added to it."

"I created one specifically for this reason, a variation of my 'Cursed Seal of Heaven' that focuses more on the Healing strengthening aspect, and since we are dealing with cursed fruits I think calling it 'Cursed Seal of Hell' would be quite fitting isn't it? Hahahaha!" Orochimaru said before biting Naruto's neck making him spasm and lose consciousness.

Present time – Konoha – T&I Department -

"I see..." Minato muttered with an horrified expression.

"So you hate us?" Kushina asked faintly.

"At the time I did. I was five and believed you lot just abandoned me, I was easy to talk into accepting being a guinea pig especially when Orochimaru technically saved me from being killed by that Masked Man in retaliation to my lie. Now I simply stopped caring about you and what you did, I have my own life to live so I can't waste time and brain-power into thinking about the 'what if' or the 'maybes'." he answered bluntly.

"And it worked? Those three fruits gave you their powers?" the woman said worried.

"...I am here now, so what do you think happened, Kushi-ya?" the young blond man answered bitterly.

"So he abandoned you when it didn't work."

"That and the attack of some ANBU to the base helped the issue along, Orochimaru was very angry when his plant was destroyed along his research data and me and few others managed to escape during the chaos, not that he was worrying about us to begin with. I have lost every contact with them ever since." Naruto answered.

"They were our men, had I know you were that close...you would have returned to us sooner!" Minato said shocked.

"What will you do now?" Naruko asked.

"The Chuunin Exams start tomorrow, right?" the young man asked.

"Yes, you came here to watch?" Kushina answered.

"I'll use this as an occasion to cheer for the Team I know we have sent here to show we are back into being a proper Village now that the Bloodline Purge is over and Terumi-ya is our new Mizukage." Naruto answered shrugging.

"Will you cheer for us too?" Minako asked hopeful.

"You are my sisters then? The Twins I have left behind?" he asked back.

"Yes!" both girls answered as one before running at his sides to hug him.

"...So you liked those necklaces then." he whispered low enough so that only the girls could hear him.

"You were the one giving them to us?!" Minako whispered back with wide eyes.

"We just found them in front of our bedroom door last year!" Naruko added showing the matching necklaces both were wearing; a simple, segmented Uzu spiral made of amber with white gold bands holding the shards in place.

"I may have issues with your parents, but I never forgot you two. But keep this a secret for now." he answered with a discreet wink.

"Thank you, oniichan!" both girls said hugging him once again.

"What are you three talking about?" Ibiki asked.

"Nothing!" the two girls answered sticking out their tongue.

"Let him go, Ibiki-kun. I am taking him home with us." Minato ordered.

"Thanks but not thanks, Minato-ya. I'll book a room in one of the Inns of the Village and I will sleep there." Naruto replied standing up as soon as his hand-cuffs went opened.

"Why?" Kushina asked sadly.

"I don't plan to stay here more than what it will take for the Exams to be over." he answered buttoning his coat up to under his neck to hide the Cursed Seal.

"NO!" Minako said grabbing his left hand in both of hers.

"You have to stay!" Naruko added doing the same to his right hand.

"I can't, I saw how people here treat the ones with a Cursed Seal, and I have an home already and a daughter to look after." Naruto answered.

"A DAUGHTER!?" Kushina shrieked in horror.

"Another victim of those fruits, her name is Moegi and she is the daughter of the other test subject survived Orochimaru's experiments, she inherited her mother's Fruit Curse and I promised to look after her when her mother died, she is 15 but has the mind of a little girl because of several traumatic experiences and I am her only safe-line, her being young didn't stop Orochimaru from experimenting on her to see how her powers worked." He answered nonplussed.

"She is almost our age..." Minako muttered horrified.

"And she has red hair, apparently I am cursed with caring about troublesome red-heads as well." Naruto answered smiling and patting her head making her blush in embarrassment.

"About that, you talked about three curses, you referred to the three fruits they tried to give you?" Minato asked.

"It can be seen like that." he answered uncaring.

"Listen, the Exams will last at least a couple of months, even if we don't live under the same roof at least consider the idea of reconnecting with us!" the Fourth Hokage pleaded grabbing his son's shoulder.

"We never wanted to stop looking for you, but after days, weeks even, we thought that man had killed you as soon as he discovered the Kyuubi was not inside you...At least try and reconnect with your sisters, they are innocent." Kushina added.

"Sigh! I still have to stay here for the duration of the Exams and will cheer for the Twins. Other than that...well, don't bring your hopes too high yet." Naruto answered sighing.

"Okay." the young man's mother muttered weakly while looking down.

"Is still something, Kushi-chan...is still something." Minato said with a sad expression while hugging his wife.

"Big Brother..." Minako said sadly as she and her sister watched Naruto walk away escorted by Ibiki and Anko to retrieve his sword.

"We'll have him back in our life, don't worry. We'll be a big family again." the Fourth Hokage promised.

Later that night – Konoha Inn – Mist delegation room -

A faint knocking at the door was all the noise that filtered inside the room making the sleeping blond snap his eyes open, carefully slipping out of bed without waking-up the small girl lying next to him he went to answer.

"Kabuto." he said sighing.

"Come outside, Naruto-kun, we need to talk." a bespectacled young man with pale hair said smirking.

"Coming, coming." the other answered grabbing his sword.

"Naru-kun?" a girl with fiery red hair asked with sleepy eyes from the bed next to his.

"Keep an eye on Moegi, Karin. I'll be back soon." he promised with a small smile.

"Be safe." she answered giving him a little peck on the lips.

"I will."

A short walk later and both men stood sitting on the roof of the Inn to watch the sleeping Village under them and the various rounds of guards keeping the roads safe.

"How was meeting your family after all this time, Naruto-kun?" Kabuto asked chuckling.

"Exactly like you and Lord Orochimaru expected, I felt nothing." Naruto answered shrugging.

"You sure? I know you were questioned and told them about your Cursed Seal." the other replied.

"I told them the bare minimum needed to calm them down, stop trying to remove it and do not make further questions, I didn't tell them YOU were the one helping Lord Orochimaru giving me those three fruits' power." the blond answered unconcerned.

"So you told them about your new powers?" Kabuto asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, I just told them the sad story we agreed on, they think Orochimaru left me behind just like he did with Anko, it was all them to translate the thing as me not gaining powers, I did nothing nor lied to them. I just omitted this or that detail." Naruto answered with a small smirk.

"Huhuhu! Very well played, Naruto-kun. Try to pretend to be interested in reconnecting with your family, like that we'll have someone keeping tracks of the Hokage." Kabuto said chuckling.

"But infiltrating the Village by being 'captured' by their ANBU has been a pain, was it really necessary?" he asked.

"Contrary to me, you could not just stay in Konoha to spy on them with how many people know you, Suna as well was still considered an ally to the Leaf and Iwa was a no-no from the beginning, it all left Kumo and Mist as the only possible choices, and in the end it paid-up, you got a new sword AND Orochimaru-sama got to follow the Akatsuki's plans about the Village." Kabuto answered smugly.

"They have plans for the Jinchuuriki of Mist, the fact that he died during the Bloodline Purges has put a big stop on their schedule, now they'll need to wait for the Three-Tailed Beast to return." Naruto answered bored.

"Those bloodline samples you sent though were very useful, teaching you how to be a Medic had been a good idea." the bespectacled young man said.

"You trained me for all those years without stop, it was either me getting good or die trying." Naruto answered growling.

"But in the end it was worth it, isn't it? Now you know how to use two of those three fruits! A Pity the third one never managed to stick and activate." Kabuto said laughing.

"Why are you here now? You never told me." the blond said annoyed.

"Just to remember the plan, Orochimaru-sama wants young Sasuke to be marked by the Cursed Seal and attack the Leaf with Suna's help. When the Invasion start you'll have to kidnap the Uchiha boy and bring him to Oto, I'll take care of stopping others from following you." the other answered.

"I'll see what I can do, just see to let the Twins unscathed, last thing we need is a rampaging Biju NOT acting on our side." Naruto said getting up to walk inside the Inn.

"You say this for that reason...or because you don't want them to get hurt?" Kabuto asked amused.

"What do you think?" the blond answered nailing him with a terrifying glare.

"...Sigh! Sorry if I insinuated something, now calm down." the young spy answered sighing.

"Remember why I am doing all this, you all promised me an identity of my own, no longer 'The Son of the Yellow Flash' but a name for myself everyone will respect and the freedom of doing whatever I want with my life." Naruto said with narrowed eyes.

"You just follow your orders and Orochimaru-sama will help you become the greatest, are we okay, Left Hand?" Kabuto answered patting his shoulder.

"We are okay, Right Hand. You just tell Lord Orochimaru that I'll follow the plan, I'll do the rest." the blond answered.

"Good! Now go to sleep, you'll need all your strength to bear the Hokage's not-so-subtle hints about you returning to Konoha without snapping, Huhuhu!" the other said jumping down the rooftop.

"That's not fun...As it is not fun spying on people. ROOM!" Naruto said rapidly summoning a 'circle' or air in his hand and then enlarging it into a wide translucent dome covering the whole Inn.

"You are under arrest for conspiring against Konoha!" the lone ANBU said joining the blond on the rooftop.

"You are alone?" he asked.

"I was just passing by, but I will be more than enough to capture a Chuunin." the masked black-haired woman said smugly.

"Bad idea, especially since you are inside my Room." Naruto replied nonplussed.

"And what would that mean?" The ANBU Woman asked taking a fighting stance.

"That you are mine to do as I please." he answered unsheathing his sword rapidly to give a wide horizontal slash that beheaded the woman from afar.

"AH!?" the ANBU shrieked in answer as he head went pulled towards the blond's waiting hand.

"I am not...dead?" she asked in disbelief.

"I'll need your heart for that." Naruto answered as he calmly walked towards the woman's body lying on the floor.

"M-m-my heart!?" the ANBU said scared.

"Yup! I just need to do this, Mes! (Mes means Scalpel in Dutch)" Naruto said making the woman's body float until it stood still standing in front of him and then striking it in the chest with his bare hand, causing her heart to expel out of the body encased in a glass-like cube and leaving a cube-shaped hole on the body where the heart was.

"There! Get back to your body." the blond then said making the woman's head reconnect with her torso.

"I am...still alive? I NEED BACK-UP!" the ANBU said sprinting away and outside the giant dome.

"HEY! You left your heart behind! Oh well..." Naruto said shrugging making his Room disappear before looking at the small cube holding the woman's heart still in his hand.

"I guess she doesn't need it." he muttered shrugging before throwing it up in the air before cutting it in two with his sword making the ANBU woman already far away fell to the floor mid-jump, dead.

"Sorry, ANBU-ya. But I still need Orochimaru and Kabuto so no rattling them out for you, I'll send my prayers to your soul." Naruto said with a bow before erasing every trace and re-entering the Inn.

"Wouldn't those two be surprised to see that all the fruits are working after all?" he then said moving his right hand towards the shadows making the man hidden in there choke in pain.

"Gotta keep a trump card hidden with the man holding your life in his hands and with his lackey, right?" the blond asked mockingly and pulling the hidden spy wearing an Oto forehead-protector towards him.

"W-W-What's this?!" the man asked with a wheezing tone.

"A trick of mine. Why were you spying on me?" the blond asked with a small, chilling smile.

"I-I-I AGK! I was promised a place in Suna in exchange of your head and Kabuto's!" the spy admitted as a thin line clutched his throat tightly.

"Anything else?"

"T-T-The girls! The Kazekage said that I could have been free to keep the two girls you always have around if I helped him!" he answered scared while trying to free his hands.

"You mean Karin and Moegi? They are off-limits and everyone in Oto knows this Orochimaru comprised." Naruto answered snarling angrily making the man's limbs stretch painfully in four different directions.

"Who else knows that me and Kabuto work for Orochimaru and Oto?" the blond asked.

"Only the Kazekage! I went directly to him last week! He told me to say this to no-one else! How are you doing this without hand-seals!?"

"Strings, you idiot. The third Fruit they gave me was all about strings, it was a pain to train it without them noticing that I had that power as well, but it was worth it in the end."

"Why are you telling me this?" the scared man asked.

"I thought it would have been nice explaining to you how you will die."

"NO! WAIT!"

"Parasite String." Naruto said uncaring as a a too-thin to be visible string got attached onto the man's spine at the base of the neck, incredibly manipulating his movements like a marionette.

"I-I-I can't control my body!" the spy said horrified.

"I know, that's the point of the technique. Now take that kunai and cut your throat, would you kindly?" the blond asked walking away while still pointing at the trapped man.

"GURGLE!" as soon as the gurgling sound of the victim drowning in his own blood reached his ears the young man dropped the technique making the Oto spy fall on the floor dead.

"And now I'll have to alert Orochi-ya and Kabuto-ya about this information leak and the Kazekage's try at betrayal...The good news is that at least like this I will consolidate my supposedly 'alliance' to the Snake Sannin even more...as if being chosen as his second most trusted agent after Kabuto was not enough already. What a drag." the blond said sighing before finally returning to his room.

He just hoped the annoyances were over and no other issues decided to pop-up tomorrow as well, that was stress he didn't need.

Here we are, the new version of my "Naruto with thre Devil Fruits" project. I hope you liked the new concept, if not, then it means this was a project I am not able to develop properly.

Have a nice day.
