Two Uchiha, Millions Troubles

Naruto's Apartment

Another new day in Konohagakure no Sato. Naruto woke up like he does every day. But his mind says otherwise. After sorting yet another batch of information dump, He honestly felt that he hadn't sleep for weeks. But, thanks to his improved mind and body, that tiredness was gone pretty quickly.

'Well, that was quite a news.' He thought to himself. Not only that he got all the info about Konoha secret projects, He got all the information about all the shinobi that Konoha ever had, all the trades that happened, even on the backdoor, to every spying route that made even Jiraiya's one seems like a rat's tunnel.

'Those Jutsus though. I can't imagine Hashirama-jiji really make those jutsus.' Naruto thought again. While he thought he knew all of Shodaime's and Nidaime's Hokage jutsus, he wasn't quite hit the mark. In that dimension, both of them had some really, REALLY, messed up shit. Like Wood Release: Thorns of The Roses or Water Release: Wrath of Ryuujin, which judging by their casualty report from their sides and others' kills hundreds to thousands of people. Naruto was surely surprised. He couldn't fathom the thought of that Senju Hashirama, a man filled with compassion, silliness, and sometimes stupidity that even competed him, could think of a jutsu that trapped the victim into genjutsu, numbed their pain receptors, and made them see their body, only to found out that it was being impaled by thorns in every single non-lethal spots both inside and outside, and then release the genjutsu to overload their head with so much pain they died instantly.

'Whatever, now, let's see what my prank caused today!' He thought and chuckled. Oh boy, after he got the information from his clones, he knew that he just made the pieces he needed.

"Alright." He got up from the bed and stretched a bit "I should go to the place Mikoto-san mentioned." He said to himself. He already decided that he had to master Fuuinjutsu first. He took a fast, and unfortunately cold shower, made some breakfast and packed a bit of the leftover, and then go to the far side of Naka River.

Then he remembered 'Right, those ROOT ANBUs.' He thought. He just discovered that Minato decided to send a ROOT member every 2 days since Naruto could avoid detection from normal shinobi from now on. If Minato knew that he was getting stronger, he could jeopardize hos whole plan. He cut his thumb and made some handseals.

"Blood Clone." He said and a clone of Naruto appeared.

"Can you be a dumb person, please? I know you're the master of it." He said to his clone. His clone only looked back with a strange face.

"You know that you're basically saying that you're dumb yourself, right?" the clone said. Naruto only looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"Well, you get the point. I know I was a dumb kid. Can you act like that?" He asked. The clone then made a shit-eating smile and shout.

"Alright, time to start a day! I'm going to be the best Hokage, 'ttebayo!" he shouted. Naruto got a shiver down his spine.

'Holy shit! I don't think I'm this obnoxious when I was a kid! Fuck, now I remember EVERYTHING!' He said and slowly rolled his body. Then he started shivering and his eyes were blank while mumbling something incomprehensible about his life. His clone looked at him with flat face which said 'What the hell?"

Meanwhile, Kurama was having a time of her life "Hahaha! That was a perfect impression of your childhood, Naru-kun! And you know, I still remember everything~" She teased at the end. Hearing that, Naruto start rocking his body and mumbled "Naruto is fine as he is."

Getting tired of his shenanigan, the clone decided to gave him a chakra-enchanted flick to his forehead with an equivalent power of a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. After that flick, Naruto snapped out his trance.

"Ow! What the hell, dattebayo!?" He snapped at his clone. His clone only shrugged.

"And i'm the one who supposed to act dumb…" he said and looked away.

"Ha! That's because you don't experience what I saw." He said while keeping his hand folded "Whatever. Just do what you have to do. Just don't reach that level and you're gold. Report to me when we do our training. Got it?"

"Sure thing, boss." He said and he got out of his room. Meanwhile, Naruto headed to his own destination.

Waterfall near the river

After he arrived there, he found a small house near the waterfall. There he saw Mikoto practicing her kenjutsu. Naruto could only be awed by the beauty and fluidity of the movement. Every strike of her Ninjato is clean and beautiful, like a dance. He reminded himself to definitely learn bukijutsu, other than his current katana training.

Mikoto, who's just minding her own business, felt someone staring at her. She wanted to lunged the pervert that was staring at her so intently, only to found out that it was Naruto. She felt a blush appeared on her face. She couldn't help but feel happy that Naruto was admiring her. She's no show-off like many of her clan, but seeing that Naruto looking at her like that…

'It feels…really nice…' She thought happily. No men have ever seen her as a kunoichi. They are usually eyeing her like she's an object, a prize to win over. But Naruto was different. His age doesn't measure up to his matureness. She felt her chest swelled up a bit with pride.

After she finished, she went to greet him "Good morning, Naruto-kun."

Naruto, who was awed by her performance, just stammered "M-Morning, Mikoto-san." Then he continued "You were really beautiful there." He said and smiled at her.

Mikoto who heard his compliment just stood there frozen. Naruto just complimented her. He just said that she was beautiful. Her face immediately turned red. Her heart soared with unknown happiness. Damn him and his smile!

"T-Thank you, Naruto-kun." She answered shyly. She never imagined the day that she would blush like those fangirls.

Naruto, who saw her face, just grinned at her and offered her his lunch box "I had a bit of leftover from the breakfast. Do you want it?"

Mikoto smiled a bit and accepted it "Thank you, Naruto-kun." Then, they sat on the porch in front of the house and she ate it. She could proudly say that his cooking is that on the level on some chefs her clan had, even better. The mix of his determination, abuse of shadow clones, and his own brightness really made him excel in housework, especially cooking. She felt really special because this is the side only she knew. The thought of that made her really happy and embarrassed at the same time.

After she finished her meal, they proceed to enter the house. Naruto took a good look inside the house. Nothing was really special there. Just a tea room with racks of books, a toilet, and a small bedroom. He wondered why this house was made. But, He got beat by Mikoto who answered his question first.

"This is the replica of the tea room where Madara-ojii-sama and Mina-obaa-chan used to live. Kaa-sama asked it to be built so I could fit in with Konoha's lifestyle. It's still my most favorite place." She said and reminisced a bit. She remembered how his grandmother would teach her there, whether it was civilian's subject to fuuinjutsu, how her grandfather used to give her a scroll of his jutsu every birthday, how their grandparents would still get lovey-dovey while telling her their stories. She really missed those simple days.

Naruto than looked at her and couldn't help but smile ironically. Uchiha Madara, who was driven by his revenge he even summoned Juubi to destroy the world, is the opposite of it here. Ah, the irony when he knew that his Hashirama-jiji and Madara-teme was the reversed here. Thankfully, Hashirama doesn't have Sharingan to use Izanami. And from some of ROOT's old mission journal, they acquired Hashirama's cell to breed Mokuton user and just succeed recently. Speaking of ROOT, surprise surprise, it still exists under Hokage's order. that little shit Danzo died because he tried to overtake the Hokage's seat, only to be killed by Minato after he got framed of kidnapping children. At least, he doesn't have to worry about his Kotoamatsukami which could messed up his plan. But again, Minato could also try to do what Danzo did.

"I really like this place. It feels so comfy and relaxing." He said while looking around.

"Thank you." She said and then walked to the room. Then, she gave him a stack of books about Fuuinjutsu with brush and ink ready on the table. He read the book like there's no tomorrow. After he grasped the concept, he tried to draw a simple storage seal. It immediately worked when he put a kunai in it.

"Wow, that's amazing, Naruto-kun! A storage seal in the first try!" Mikoto said amazed. Even among the Uzumaki, her grandmother said that getting a seal to work on their first try was plain insane. There's only few of them, including Uzumaki Mito who's able to make a seal in their first try. Those people later turned into creators of the most advanced seals ever made, including Mito's signature 8 trigram seals.

"Hehehe, thank you." He laughed sheepishly and smiled at her. It must be a really good thing that he succeeded on the first try. After that, he tried to make other basic seals, like chakra depletion tags, explosion tags, mark tags etc. And then, he stepped up his training to making those seals in higher level. After he got a bit of hiccup during training, he decided to make 10 shadow clones and ordered them to start reading those books.

Then, something came across his mind "Ne, Mikoto-san. Could you change an active seal's function or at least reverse the seal?" He asked.

"Hmm…" She wondered a bit before she took 2 papers and a brush. She drew a small chakra storage seal and a high chakra drain seal" to reverse the seal effect, you need higher seal level to do it." She said and then put the chakra storage seal onto Naruto. After 5 seconds or so, the seal was all filled up. Mikoto then put the chakra draining seal on top of the chakra storage one. Naruto felt a bit of his chakra was drained. She continued "That seal should had popped one of your shadow clones. But, because it was a replacement seal, the effectivity of it will go down to 95% at best or totally failed, depending of how advanced the seal was." She explained and then release the seal.

She took other papers and draw low barrier seal and then put it on the table, causing a blue barrier to appear around the room "You could also change the seal itself. But…" she paused and started to moving her finger as if she's writing with her fingers. To Naruto's amazement, she changed the array on the barrier seal, causing it to turned into elemental defense barrier "It requires such a perfect chakra control and a lot of chakra that even a seasoned medic-nin like Shizune, could only manipulate some high-level seal. Very high seals manipulation was never heard of, much less the Uzumaki level. No one, even from Uzumaki royal family, could manipulate a seal to such degree." She finished.

Naruto was amazed and excited. Even after his transgression to another dimension, he's glad that there're still some things in the world that he could do. He couldn't call himself an Uzukage if he couldn't master fuuinjutsu to that level!

'Ha, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, Shodaime Uzukage of Neo Uzushigakure, I like the sound of that. Sandaime of Uzukage doesn't sound too shabby either.' He thought. And the more he thought about it, more he was inclined to do it. He could be a leader to his village, albeit it's not Konoha like he wanted to. But he can provide a home for those who's been affected by Shinobi Wars, rebuild his own clan, and most importantly, protect his loved ones and everyone around them.

Such thought made him more amped up than before. He made another 10 shadow clones and order half of them to read more books and another half to practice using chakra only. He's really getting into it. His mind was thinking every second about what combinations would work, or how to make it more devastating or complex.

Mikoto, on the other hand, was surprised with how much Naruto has done only hours after he started. Holy damn, was he a prodigy on another level. She didn't expect a medium-level complex seals, let alone a medium chakra one in a day! And judging from his pacing, he could reach the high-level complex seals in few days. She could only imagine how advanced he would be if he was given time in few years or so. She was witnessing a fuuinjutsu master in making!

'Wow, only 8 years old and he is already this far? How far can you go, Naruto-kun…' She thought. She decided to put more effort on her seal-making. It's been a long time since anyone get her pumped on making seals. Kushina, other than her secret lineage and utter disgust to actually step on Namikaze-Uzumaki Household, was busy training her daughters. Minato…She won't even think about it.

She made 3 shadow clones and then starting to make new seals. Both of them were in their own world, discussing about seals. That's until Naruto got hit by the sunlight. It's already afternoon. Remembered about his schedule, he started to tidy up the books and gathered his work of the day.

"Going somewhere, Naruto-kun?" Mikoto asked curiously.

"Yes, I do. I want to visit Hanabi-chan. Hyuuga-sama asked me to console her and to make sure she's alright. She has been quite unstable recently, and I will be damned if I can't help her." He said with determination.

"Oh…" Mikoto could only nod on that matter. Truly, she was a bit jealous. Izumi was really busy being an ANBU, so they have never met before. And Sasuke, unfortunately is closer to his father, meaning he's not interested. So, there's no reason he would ever visit her house. But her woman's intuition said otherwise. It's because of Hanami Hyuuga.

Oh, who she's kidding. Hanami Hyuuga. 'Mother of Konoha' was her nickname. Kind and soft-spoken. Combined with Naruto's desperate need for affection, they're match made in heaven. If only Naruto was a bit childish, she would've lost to her. She would sing him lullaby, gave him the best of everything, and treat him like a prince. She would smother him with her love, both literally and figuratively. Seriously, those F-cup breasts would do their job wonderfully.

Naruto, seeing Mikoto's face, noticed what she was thinking. It's not hard to see why she reacted like that. From his memory, he knew how exactly Hyuuga Matriach treated him. And to be honest, 'he' had a little crush on Hanami.

"Don't worry, Mikoto-san. I'll be back tomorrow if you want to." He said, trying to reassure her.

"Of course, Naruto-kun! You can stay here whenever you want!" She said a bit too excitedly. Realizing what she did, she blushed in embarrassment. Naruto can only laugh on her action.

"That's great! Thank you, Mikoto-chan!" He said gratefully. Mikoto could only blush from the nickname.

"See you tomorrow, Mikoto-chan!" He said and then left. Mikoto stood there for seconds, and then pumped her fist while jumping.

'HELL YEAH! NOW I CAN MEET HIM EVERY DAY!'

Hyuuga's Household

After he had his lunch, he went to Hyuuga compound, he ran towards the entrance, only to be stopped by the guard.

"Halt!" The Hyuuga commanded "What are you doing here, demon?" He asked with a condescending tone while glaring at him.

'Great, main branch. Just what I needed.' He thought, annoyed. Damn it, out of anyone that's in guard, it had to be the main branch that day.

"I just want to see Hanabi-chan. Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked while glaring back. Truthfully, he could exude enough aura to alarm Konoha about another invasion. But, decided to hold back.

"Well, well" the other Hyuuga said smugly "Hanabi-sama and the elder had personally asked us to keep your dirty presence from tainting our sacred ground." He boasted.

"So, you're out of luck, demon." The other said and looked down on him. Finally, Hanabi-sama finally gained wisdom and decided to purge the filth presence from their ground! Oh, how long they have waited to say that to that little bastard!

"Fine!" He stomped away. Inside, he was thinking of how to get through the compound. They were just almost got raided, so he bet that the Hyuuga spent quite a fortune to fortify their place with some Uzumaki seals. He didn't know what seals they had, so he decided that the only way in is through deception or some sort of trick.

'Wait. I can do Genjutsu now!' He thought while he just facepalmed at himself. He never used Genjutsu, considering how shot his chakra control was. Now, he can use and make Genjutsu!

'Hmm, what Genjutsu should I use?...wait, they're Hyuuga. Of course, I know!" He thought and giggled a bit at his mischievousness. Kurama who knew what he was thinking, also giggled.

'Oh well, Naru-kun will always be Naru-kun.' She thought and saw the scene unfolded. Naruto made a shadow clone and command him to use Perfect Henge. The clone turned into Maito Gai. The clone then used some Genjutsu on him.

The guard was guarding the gate, when they saw the Green Beast of Konoha suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Dynamic Entry!" He yelled on top of his lung. Both of them looked at the direction, only to feel annoyed by the presence of that…man.

"Great." He said while looking away "State your business, Gai-san." He asked with sarcasm dripping in every letter.

"Good Evening, my fellow Shinobi!" He said boisterously "I heard young Hanabi was training very hard! Hearing those news makes me want to do something spectacular!"

"And how is that have to do with us, Gai-san?" The other asked, not even paying any attention to him anymore. This man right here is probably the definition of annoying. Everything that he had done only screams tiring, useless, and ridiculous. Thank Kami that this man cannot reproduce by himself. The thought of another him sent scary shiver to their spine.

"I want to train her, of course! With the power of my training and her youthful energy, her youth would explode!" He said and then laughed.

The Hyuuga let those thought in. Young mistress Hanabi, with Gokken style, dressed with that hideous green suit, large caterpillar-like eyebrow, and screaming youth everywhere she goes. No, Not the young mistress!

"No, you can't, you abominable green man!" Both of them yelled. But he ignored them.

"Time to start the training, young Hanabi! Charge!" He said and then ran into the compound and destroy everything in his path. The guards were shocked for few seconds before they rushed into the compound.

"NO, HANABI-SAMA! WE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THAT ABOMINATION!"

"HANABI-SAMA, STAY AWAY FROM THAT MONSTER!"

And then few seconds later, huge ruckus can be heard around the compound. Both Naruto and Kurama laughed at that scene. Not trying to waste any more time, he decided to go in.

Few Minutes Later, Hanabi's room

Hanabi was tired after the shenanigan that just happened. The Green Beast of Konoha decided to take her, or kidnap her as her family said, to his training. She wasn't really against it, but the majority of the main branch family decided to keep her in the maximum-security room, which she admitted was a bit too ridiculous. But after the problem was solved, she went back to her room. There, he saw something near the window, there's a bento box.

She opened it and found all sorts of dishes that she loved. Not only the type, but the amount, decoration, color of the box, everything is perfect! Even the detail on the scone was spot on. But then, she reminded of something. There's only one person that can make her lunchbox to that detail. And she was correct. She found a piece of paper stuck on top of it.

"To Hanabi-chan

I'm really sorry if you found the lunchbox not to your liking. I just want you to know that I never, ever to even consider seeing you as an object for my own goal. I don't want to ask you to trust me. I just want you to be happy by yourself. If there's any chance you want to meet me, I will always be there.

Naruto"

She could only scowl on the note 'Liar! He lied about himself! How could I trust him like that! Everything written there must be fake! I had to tell this to the elder!'

She was about to get up. Fortunately, one of the elder entered her room.

"Evening, young Hanabi. I have some news for you." He said emotionless. Hanabi immediately got into her position.

"Is there anything you want to tell me, honorable elder?" She asked politely.

"Yes, I do. This is about you. Next week, we're going to a meeting between Konoha and Daimyo of the Lightning. You are to be tasked to socialize and bring new connections for our clan. You are even allowed to choose your own future partner, as long as it is within our requirements. And always bring Hyuuga the honor and superiority in everything you do." The elder said with an expecting tone and look.

She wanted to sigh, hearing those complicated stuff. But she knew better than to get herself punishment, he bowed down obediently.

"I shall not disappoint, honorable elder." She answered.

"Good." He said and started to walk away from the room. Before that, she managed to get his attention.

"A-Ano…" She said meekly, only to receive a glare from the other end.

"I got this f-from someone…" she said weakly. She didn't know why, but she felt her resolve crumbled with every step he took. And when he took the lunchbox, she started to wonder if it was the right decision.

He looked unimpressed, before an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Good one, young Hanabi! You are truly to be destined with greatness!" He looked at her with his smile that really scared her out. She saw him bringing the box to the veranda. And then he did something that she didn't expect to happen.

He slammed the lunchbox very hard. The perfectly made dishes inside it either got smashed or were cluttered on the ground. She saw ants starting to swarm the food.

"You were starting to notice your position well, young Hanabi! You rejected that demon's temptation to false promise and sense of relationship! It won't be long before you're going to be the true heiress of our clan!" He boasted and laugh a bit maniacally. Then, he walked out of the room with the same smile he had before.

Hanabi could only witness what just happened. For every single fiber in her body that hated him, she certainly didn't know how it would affect her. She could feel every taste of the food. She could feel every sweat that he poured into the food. She could feel every little money that he had to use to give her the best that he could give. And most importantly, she could feel his attention on every single thing he made.

But now, it was no more. Everything was destroyed. Gone in just few seconds. She could feel her heart wrenched. Those wonderful things that he made, has come to an end. And from now on, she had to let go of it.

'W-why do I hesitate? It's what I want.' She reassured herself. But she felt lost on her own words. She could only ask herself and looked at the mess on the soil. She could only look there, even from the futon, she let her veranda open. And then, she cried herself to sleep.

Forest of the Death, Naruto's Arena

"Right, here we go." He said and made a handseal.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" He yelled. Thousands of his shadow clones appeared. The thing is, there are 45 thousand clones now.

"…I'm not even surprised anymore. This is just plain ridiculous." He sighed while Kurama giggled at his assessment.

"Alright! Split with the same proportions as we did! But now, I want each regime to give me 200 clones each." He commanded. Then everbody went to their group while some of them left. There are 4200 of them.

"Okay. Now, 4000 of you are going to do Fuuinjutsu training, while 200 of you supervise it. You're allowed to experiment, as long as you're sure about its capability. But remember, we're still not an expert! Therefore, you're only allowed to improve the performance of a seal, or combine functions between 2 of the same level seals. No new function whatsoever. Got it?!" He asked those clones.

"Yes, Boss!" They yelled back.

"Now all of you, Begin!" He yelled and the clones went to their own position, while Naruto was doing exercise. Safe to say, Fuuinjutsu section was the most volatile area there. No other regimes dared to be in 5-mile radius.

After around an hour, his blood clone arrived with a big grin on his face.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Naruto asked, a bit creeped out.

"Oh, I got big news for you. You're going to love it." He said with the same grin. He decided to dismiss his clone and started processing the information. Sure enough, he was satisfied.

'Holy crap, he was right! This is more effective than I thought it would be!' He thought, while Kurama was smirking evilly.

"Well, what do we have here! I know you got some evil bone in you, Naru-kun!" She said. Well, she wasn't wrong though. "The Masked Man spotted with OBSIDIAN. Another assassination attempt towards our Hokage!?" followed with another headline of "Masked Man is Iwa Shinobi all along?" followed with many articles about waging war with Iwagakure to 'teach them another lesson for messing with Konoha, the strongest hidden village' or 'to show our might towards those pebble eaters.'. there's also a small article about 'Masked man is an Uchiha!?". He had feeling that article won't be small next time he read it, that's for sure.

'Wow! I can't believe my clones had setup the perfect scenario!' He thought with a grin. Judging from those headlines, he already guessed the picture of Konoha's politics in few years. Then he went back to his training.

Few hours later

"Alright, I think that's it for the day." He said to himself. After he fortify his training ground even more with more genjutsu and thousands of barrier seal, he got out from the area. A few minutes of walking, he sensed that someone was near him. And judging from the chakra, they are around ANBU level. Naruto prepared his kunai for the worst.

*CLANG*

He parried the sword that was trying to slash him while he tried to dodge. It goes on for a minute before the attacker stop in front of him. He considered to use his jutsu, only to find out it was actually Konoha ANBU.

"Wait, hold on! Stop! Stop! I'm from Konoha!" He yelled franticly, hoping that the person is friendly.

The person stopped their movement, and it was tense for a few minutes.

"Who are you?" The ANBU simply asked in a womanly voice. Naruto was surprised, but decided to be on guard.

"Naruto Uzumaki…Ma'am" He answered simply, kunai still ready. After few seconds, the ANBU moved to behind him using Shunshin. Naruto noticed that she swung with the back of her sword. Not deciding to complicate the problem, he let himself got knocked out, but still conscious to his surroundings. The ANBU then took his body away.

Izumi's perspective

Izumi, or known as Itachi could only sighed at her incompetence. She almost blew her cover up to a civilian, and to such a high-profile one.

She was a carbon copy of Mikoto. With the exception of her shorter, but straight hair, she looks almost exactly the same as Mikoto. She was wearing a normal ANBU outfit, which considered of a grey vest with black shirt and ANBU pants. But in addition to that, she also had a thick bandage wrapping around her chest, which can be looked as a wound bandage in her male form. She also had a giant black robe with high collar as the last protection should everything failed. It was a perfect disguise, but it could get stuffy, so she usually hangs it while mission. But she always wears it in the village to protect her identity. Well, not that day.

At that time, she was not wary for her surrounding. To be fair, it is in Konoha and nobody ever crossed or use Training Ground 44 due to its story and rumor surrounding it. So, she uses it as a personal training ground. At that time, she was training as usual and she wanted to head back. Then, she sensed someone near her. She didn't know whose chakra it was, so she decided to subjugate the person. Turns out, she didn't expect their counterattack. So, she decided to stop and looked at her opponent.

"Who are you?" She asked with low tone. She thanked her low tone was quite husky, so it was easily misheard as a man's voice.

"Naruto Uzumaki…ma'am." At that answer, her mind went batshit crazy and went overdrive. She didn't realize she already teleported behind him and readied her weapon. Thankfully, some part of her mind still able to control her body, so she didn't accidentally kill him. She just realized her mistake after she knocked him out.

'Crap. Now what do I do?' She thought. Then, she got an idea to bring him to Konoha Police Department. She grabbed him, brought out her coat, and properly applied her seal. She started jumping from tree to tree, while thinking about her victim.

Naruto Uzumaki, or formerly known as Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the disowned son of the 4th Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki. More known as the Kyuubi or Demon among Konoha's people. Rarely being in the village, she doesn't really know much about him. The only important information that she had to highlight was that he held Kyuubi's soul. Other than that, she doesn't know any story of his disownment, or how his life was. Being Hokage's former son, she assumed that he's still living a good life, although the disownment part really intrigued her about his past.

Konoha Police Department, Minutes later

After they arrived, she was saluted by 2 Uchiha who were standing by. Ignoring their gazes toward the boy, she entered the office.

"Good evening, Itachi-san. What can I help you with?" the officer asked, also looking at the boy on her shoulder.

"About this boy." 'he' said and show him Naruto's face "Do you know where Naruto Uzumaki lived? I want to take him back to his house."

The officer face changed from disdain into an evil smirk.

"Well well, Itachi-san. I do know where he resides. Shall we escort you there?" He said with a smug face. She was surprised. She knows well how they usually done nothing if ANBU was included in the job. This was out of ordinary.

"May I know what the reason is?" 'he' asked simply. The officer took a book from his drawer, it was Konoha Police Department's Law and Protocol.

"It's said here in Article 22 regarding Military Interference in Civilian Affair, Subsection 3 that's written as 'If ANBU were to unable to complete his/her task, Police Department shall provide them with a complement of officer with minimum of 1 Jounin, 2 Chuunin, or 1 Chuunin and 1 Tokubetsu Jounin. The personal provided can also be added to up to 3 Jounin, 4 Chuunin, or 2 Chuunin with a Tokubetsu Jounin and Jounin.'" He recited.

She was really suspicious by their behavior. Never, in her life, police of Konoha actually follows the protocol, let alone recite and remember it. But, due to it's being the law, she can't help but to oblige to it.

"Alright. Assemble the team how you see fit." 'he' said. She knew something really wrong was going, but as an ANBU, she can't just use her gut feeling as the reason to break the law.

"As you wish, Itachi-san" The officer said. She put Naruto on one of the chairs and stood on the corner of the room. She started looking at his face. A bit too pale for normal person, but otherwise he's normal. She then noticed the whisker mark on his face.

'probably something from being a Jinchuriki.' She thought. She got a fair share of looking at other Jinchuriki, and she knows that there will be some abnormal trait they inherited from the Bijuu they have. Then, her eyes marveled to his jumpsuit. It was a bit dirty here and there, but otherwise it looks normal. Well, not the orange color though.

'Speak for yourself, though. My entire wardrobe is all dark blue or black.' She thought and smiled a bit. And then she went back to his face. Something got her attention. She doesn't know why, but she can't help but notice to stare at it. And then she marveled the shapes and curves on his face. Something about it screams divine. Like the curvature is just unique, not in a bad way. For an 8 year old, he's a looker.

'Kami-sama, what did I think about? I never ever thought about appearance, let alone about a male like that.' She chided internally. Even after noticing her thought, she can't help but going back to look at his face again. She decided to look away, although with her cheeks getting a bit rosy.

She was trying to get him out of her head until 4 people appeared. 2 Chuunin, 1 Tokubetsu Jounin, and another Jounin. She raised her eyebrow. What the hell do they need to escort a civilian, a child no less, with full gear, including weapons?

"Sakachi Squad, ready for duty. Shall we go, Itachi-san?" The man asked, a bit too eager. She can't help but to question his motive.

'he' raised 'his' eyebrow and asked "What's with all the equipment, Jounin-san?"

"Oh, these?" He asked innocently "That boy's residence is near the red light district. The area was known to be filled with criminals and ex-ninja. We're equipped to ensure that he reached safely." The Jounin answered. She couldn't help but get even more anxious about this 'operation'. But all of his reasoning is on the mission perimeter, so she couldn't do anything.

'he' gave a nod, and grabbed Naruto. He let the squad Shunshin first, followed by 'him'

Red Light District, Naruto's room

After a few minutes, they reached their destination. Izumi just cannot believe her eyes. Hokage's former son, living in the central of red light district?

"Are you sure this is the location?" 'he' asked skeptically.

"Yes, it is. According to our intel, this is his place. Quite fitting for a demon like him." He said, whispering the latter. Unfortunately, she was still in shock so she couldn't catch his words.

'he' then looked at them again with skepticism clearly shown on 'his' face. The Jounin only shrugged and brought out the intel. It's true, the data shown that he's registered here. She only gaped at the data. Meanwhile, Naruto was taken forcefully from her arms. That's what snapped her out of daze.

"What are you doing to him?" 'he' asked while glaring at the Jounin.

"We're just doing our job, Itachi-sama. Konoha Police Force Operational Code 312 regarding unconscious escort/victim from ninja operation. It was stated that at minimum 2 officer have to be stationed near the person, and the rest guarding the access point that may lead to another harm or injury toward the person." The guarding chuunin said. Again, another anomaly in this operation. And again, she's not allowed to interfere with it. Even if her intuition said something fishy is going on. And because of her status as ANBU, she couldn't interfere with civilian affair, unless it's Hokage's order.

She could only glare at the room as she slowly moving away from her location. She knew that something really wrong is going on behind this whole 'operation'

Uchiha Compound

After arriving at her house, she took off her sandal.

"I'm home." She called. Few seconds later, her mother greeted her back.

"Welcome home, Itachi-kun. How's your day?" Mikoto asked with a smile on her face.

"Nothing. But there's a little accident." 'he' said while taking a pack of Pocky stick from 'his' pouch

"Well? Want to tell me about it?" She asked 'him' and gestured towards 'his' room. 'he' only nodded and then both of them walked into 'his' room. There, 'he' told Mikoto everything.

"Oh…well…" Mikoto answered uncomfortably "That's one way to hide your identity…"

"Yeah…" 'he' said while continue munching the snacks "i hope I didn't hit him too hard. But I still can't believe a child of Hokage nonetheless lived there…" 'he' mumbled. But, Mikoto heard it and she felt her world froze.

"What?" She asked dumbly. Her mind started went into panic. It must be him!

"What?" 'he' asked again simply. That's until 'he' saw her face change. She was frightened.

"Who!?" She grabbed 'his' body and shook it frantically "Who was that boy you were talking about!?"

'he' was surprised. 'his' mother never reacted like this. Millions of questions starting to swarm 'his' mind.

Getting impatient and more panic, Mikoto shook 'his' body even harder.

"Who is he, Izumi Uchiha!?" 'his' mother asked a bit loudly. She unconsciously dropped her disguise seal and answered with a small voice.

"N-Naruto Uzumaki…"She said to her mother. She closed her eyes, waiting for her punishment. That's until she felt her mother's hand let go of her and frantically opening her window. After that, her mother disappeared. Feeling responsible, she followed her mother's track.

Konoha, nighttime

She has been following her mother for around 10 minutes and she started to get tired. She knew her mother was strong. She didn't gain her S-rank classification in Bingo Book for nothing. But even until now, she never saw her mother at her full capability. And imagining what's going, she knew that she, in the only words that can describe her condition, fucked up.

Then, she heard a scream out of nowhere and she saw her mother headed there even faster. After they arrived, she witnessed the worst torture she ever seen. Naruto was there mangled up. His body almost lost all blood in his body. Every joint or bone in his body had been cracked and he almost lost his arm.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM, YOU MONSTER!" Her mother yelled and then formed some handseals. Her mother formed a wall of fire surrounding him. The villager who didn't react fast enough, immediately burnt to crisp, while their surrounding caught on fire the fire spread even more from them.

Izumi looked at her mother's victim. She saw the body of the Jounin got burned to ashes. To say she was flabbergasted was an understatement.

'What the hell!? Were all of that crap was just to get me out of the picture, so they can torture him!?' She thought. Then, her anger started to raise like never before. She never felt so disgusted and furious in her entire life. She never knew something like this made her blood boil that much. She never knew that she could be angry not only as a ninja, or a person, but also as a woman.

But before she could do anything, her mother had finished the job. The villagers dispersed and run away, while dead bodies just laid there. She then approached her mother and Naruto.

"Naruto-kun! Just hang in there!" She said while she used small-scale healing jutsu. She couldn't believe his mangled body slowly become whole again, as if there's no cut. After his body looked well enough, Mikoto started to Shunshin away. Izumi decided to follow her mother again.

Naruto's Apartment

After they arrived, Mikoto put down his body on the futon and went to kitchen. Izumi, who doesn't know anything to do, stay beside his bed and contemplated what just happened.

'I-I can't believe what just happened there! How could someone do that to such a young boy? What had he done to be treated to such an atrocious attack? What kind of life had he been through for 8 years? Was it better when he's Hokage's son? How could Hokage-sama never heard a wind of it?"

All those questions keep appearing, until she noticed that his body moved a bit. After that, his eyes opened up a bit.

"Ow…What just happened?" He asked to no one in particular. Her body froze, didn't know what to do.

'What should I do? Greet him? Apologize to him? I don't know what to do!' She thought before she heard he called her name.

"I-Izumi-nee-san, is that you?" He said. She felt her mind crashing down. How the hell did he know?!

Before she could do anything, Mikoto came in with a plate of fried rice on her hand and put it on top of the small coffee table.

"Alright. I think it's time for me to tell you something." Her mother said, leaving no room for objection. Mikoto then told her everything she knew, while Naruto hungrily ate the dinner. After listening her mother's story, she had a blank stare on her face.

"What?" She asked slowly "Why did Hokage-sama do such a thing?"

"To be honest, I don't really know. It's probably decided by Civilian Council that somehow got passed, either by Daimyo-sama or that bastard himself. It could also be Minato doesn't want any bad reputation surrounding his name, knowing one of his family contains Kyuubi's soul, which is FUCKING UNBELIEVEABLE!" She spat at the end.

"Even now I still don't know what the hell happened to Kushina. She used to be so unpredictable, but now anytime Minato talked, she followed his words, letter to letter. She even said that she wanted to have a lot of children! But now, look at this! She disowned her own son who's still growing up! A child who still needs maternal love! A child who still want to feel joy! Suddenly, all of those are flushed out because her oh-so-honorable-husband said so! And don't get me fucking started on that Namikaze son of a bitch fuckface with always smug face that I want to burn away with Amaterasu!" She said while unconsciously activated her Mangekyou Sharingan.

Izumi, once again was caught off guard with her mother's rage. But it was understandable. Everything that had been done to Naruto was wrong at all level. Now she understood why her mother sometimes not at home. She did have to train early like him. But he doesn't train for war, but he trains to survive. Even her, an ANBU, could feel her heart cringe at how horrible his life is, to have to wield weapon just to survive from your own people inside the village itself.

"Wait, hold on." She said, realizing about something "Why does he know my name?"

This time, Mikoto looked away. She couldn't tell that she broke down in front of Naruto and told him everything. She knew that Izumi doesn't like her real identity being known by outsider, except her. She couldn't tell her that she misses her daughter so much.

Izumi was waiting for her mother's answer, only to heard Naruto's voice.

"Because she misses you." He said while looking at her with strangely concerned look "She misses the real you, her daughter. She's pained because you're lost. i know how it feels. But I know it even pains her more to see you don't ask her about your problems. She knows that you're in a problem, yet she can't do anything about it. My parents probably hate me, but I know there are some people who loves me. So, you can imagine how sad it is if you, her own flesh and blood is in turmoil."

Suddenly, Izumi got attacked by her own flashback. Memories appeared and she remembered all of them, but she finally noticed how her mother looks every time she goes on a mission. She knew her own problem, yet she didn't notice that her mother always yearned for her to just open up and tell her everything.

Then, she felt somebody crashed into her. It was her mother, sobbing her heart out.

"Please…I want you to be happy …I want you to know to be my daughter again, even just for a moment…I want you to know no matter what you do…Kaa-san will always be with you…" She sobbed. And that's it for Izumi. She finally cried her heart out. Both mother and daughter finally become one again.

After that, both of them confessed their problem to each other. They stayed like that for a while until they smell something sweet.

"I made some hot chocolates for us. I hope I didn't make too much." He said, a bit nervously. The Uchiha could only giggled at his action and took a sip from their own cup. They enjoyed their cup, while Izumi and sometimes Naruto shared their stories. Laughter filled their room overnight.

During the conversation, Izumi felt the passed by so quickly. After the heartwarming revelation with her mother, they spent their time talking with each other. She couldn't help but feel amazed, yet sad about how Naruto's life is, more so for her mother. She finally knew how such a young boy could go toe on toe with her, one of the best ANBU, in close quarter combat. And not only in combat, but his mentality as well. The more stories he told, the more she came to detach herself more from Konoha, especially every time the Hokage was involved.

After they finished their drinks, the Uchiha said their goodbye.

"Thank you so much Naruto-kun. I don't know how I could pay you back for such a favor." Mikoto said happily, while Izumi smiled at him.

"No problem. But can I ask you a favor?" He asked.

"What is it, Naruto-kun?" she asked.

"Can you teach me Bukijutsu?" he asked while scratching his head "I tried to do it by only looking at it, but I always failed to do more than slashing around my weapon like a madman."

"Oh, is that it?" Mikoto asked and take a thinking posture "what if I included weapon training while you're training with Shurikenjutsu. Is that good for you?"

Izumi added "Or you can ask me if you want to, as long as I'm not on mission. Well, that's if you want to." She said a bit nervously.

"Of course!" He answered with glee "Thank you so much, Mikoto-san, Izu-" he suddenly shut his mouth with his hand. Izumi, in particular, was confused with what happened to him.

Naruto then bow down and said "I'm sorry for the slip up, Itachi-nii-san!"

Izumi was surprised, both by herself and Naruto. She would never let her mother call her by her real name, let alone stranger. But now, she felt really bad for forbidding that name to Naruto. She was also surprised with how much humility he has. Considering how much he had done for her and her mother today, she didn't really think about it until Naruto realized about his mistake.

"You can call me Izumi, Naruto-kun. After what happened today and from the story you told to me, I think I can trust you that much." She said and smiled a bit, showing her sincereness "But, other than Kaa-sama and you, nobody could ever know my real identity is. I hope you understand, Naruto-kun."

Naruto hearing that, beamed "Of course! I swear it on my Nindo! Believe it! Thank you, Mikoto-san, Izumi-nee-chan!"

Izumi blushed from how Naruto called her 'W-Why am I blushing again? I felt nice though to be called nee-chan…'

Mikoto seen that face, and she was a bit jealous about it. Izumi was much younger than her, and she could date Naruto if she wanted to. She was afraid that Naruto would lose interest for her in romantic relationship.

'Damn. I really have to address that problem with Mikoto. It really makes me sad knowing that she's always to lose me. That bastard really affected her.' He thought.

To release the tension, he waved them goodbye. With that, they went home. After seeing them disappeared, he lay down on his futon. Remembering the scene made Naruto's heart warm. He's glad that he could help Mikoto for her problem, while solving Izumi problem at the same time.

He looked at the moon. It was full moon. And the reminds him about Kaguya

'Kaguya-chan, I really want to meet you again. Wherever you're, just wait for me, okay?' He thought.

Then he felt his body got wrapped by a warm feeling. It was Kurama's chakra, 'hugging' him.

"I'm sure always thinks about you whenever she can." She said while some of her chakra enveloped him.

"But." She said before Naruto abruptly got pulled into his mindscape "How about cuddling with me now? Your dear wifey really misses you~" she cooed.

Naruto, deciding to play with her game, revealed himself as his adult form with his old outfit, which definitely got Kurama hot and wet at the same time. Then, Naruto skillfully locked her body under his, with every single part touching the right spot.

"Oh dear." He said and slide up his knee closer to her juicy thighs "I don't know that my wife is such a vixen." And then they cuddled like there's no tomorrow.

A/N: See you next time!
