Naruto: Advent of the Flash

October 11

Konohagakure no Sato

Konoha Hospital

Kushina had awoken feeling more exhausted than ever; her eyes fluttered open as she groggily looked around to see where she was. The all-white room, the patient's gown, and the definite smell of anti-bacterial spray allowed her to figure she was in the hospital. She sat up feeling pain course through her body with every movement she made. Then memories of the night before came rushing back to her as she remembered all that she had lost that night. She remembered how her husband sacrificed himself to seal that demon and save the village. She felt a pang of guilt as she remembered how he said he split the Yin and Yang halves of the chakra and sealed them into Mito and Kara while they sealed the soul into their only boy Naruto.

With a significant amount of effort, she managed to get up and make her way to the door, dragging her feet along the icy tiles of the hospital floor. The door clicked open, halting her progress, and in came Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hiruzen, and Kakashi. All present seemed to be astounded that she was already up and about.

"Kushina, even if you are an Uzumaki having a bijuu ripped from your body is enough to kill anyone; the extraction has taken its toll on you, you should rest and let your body recover from the strain." She scolded Kushina, but she paid it no mind. Tsunade brought her back to the bed and helped to set her gently as she started going through her medical charts.

"Well, Kushina, you should be fine after a week's worth of rest. But there has been a lot of damage to your chakra coils that will take some time to recover. You will have to spend a couple of years in rehabilitation to let your chakra coils recover before you could use the shinobi arts again." She said, and Kushina nodded and gave her a small smile as Tsunade smiled back.

"Alright you all can talk, I have to go and check on some other surgeries that are going on." She said and left as Hiruzen gave her a grateful nod for returning to the village in its time of need. He knew it was only temporary, but the village needed her medical skills, and he was glad she was there. She had saved many lives already, treating the patients that had been deemed beyond saving by the medical staff, and he couldn't be prouder of his student. He walked up to Kushina's bed as he saw she was lost in thought and put a hand over her shoulder as she looked at him surprised that she had spaced out and smiled a little smile back, and he saw that she was hiding the pain that was in her heart.

"Hiruzen, where are my children? Please bring them to me." She said in a pleading voice, and he nodded as the three men walked up to the cribs, and each took hold of a peacefully sleeping child in their arms. Hiruzen and Jiraiya laid the twin redheaded girls in her arms as she looked at them, smiling that they had wholly inherited her Uzumaki traits as they gazed at her with their tired violet eyes and went back to sleep. The three men smiled at seeing their interaction, and Kakashi stepped forward to hand over her third child.

Kushina saw the blonde bundle in his arms, and her eyes widened as she laid her first gaze on him and immediately began to cry, he was a Namikaze, golden blond hair, sun-kissed skin, and jewels of the deepest azure for eyes, she then noticed the six faint whisker marks on his cheeks and remembered what he held. Growing cold, she began to lose sight of the boy, and all she could see was a bleeding Minato, her surroundings faded away. The panic of the previous night came rushing back to her as she saw The Kyuubi piercing Minato's abdomen with his claw as he tried to save Naruto and finally seal the monster's soul into him, with a hateful glare her hands slapped Kakashi's away.

Kakashi was startled by this look, from the closest person he had to a mother and jolted back, Naruto felt the movement and was about to wake, only for Kakashi to start rocking the little child who drifted back into a deep slumber snuggling in his arms. He smiled under his mask, seeing how much he looked like his beloved sensei. Hiruzen and Jiraiya, too, saw the interaction and were surprised at Kushina's actions.

Hiruzen decided to voice his confusion as he felt dread form in the pit of his stomach. "Kushina, what's wrong? Don't you want to hold your son?" he asked gently, and she stared at him with icy eyes that startled even him.

"That 'thing' is not my son anymore." She said in an icy cold tone, and all three were wide-eyed at what she said.

"Kushina, what do you mean, Naruto is your son!" hissed Jiraiya in a low voice, not wanting to startle the sleeping kids, and she glared at him.

"No, my son died the moment Minato sealed the soul of the Kyuubi into him. He is possessed by the demon that killed my husband and almost destroyed the village. Look at those whiskers on his cheek. They are proof enough of the possession. He is the reason my husband died and left me alone." She hissed in rapid succession, glaring at the blonde bundle in Kakashi's arms as he held him protectively and backed up, away from the distressed mother. Hiruzen was stunned at the confession she made and the pure hatred she glared at the little blonde bundle.

"Kushina, you can't be serious, that is your son! Just look at the resemblance he bears with Minato. He has inherited those strong Namikaze genes from your husband. Don't be blinded by your hatred." He spoke gently, trying to get the point across.

"Kushina, you were a Jinchuriki yourself, you should know better than anyone that's impossible." Said Jiraiya in a calm tone, trying to keep his temper in check while Kushina's face darkened as she glared at them.

"That 'thing' killed my husband and took possession over my son's body and those marks on his face are proof enough, I never had them, and neither do Mito or Kara have them now. Minato must have slipped up the sealing in his last moments, and the demon took advantage of it. Just finish that 'thing' off and be done with it. It has caused so much damage to this village and my family already." She said in a cold tone, and all three were wide-eyed at her words, and their eyes turned cold as they glared at her.

"I expected better from you, Kushina." Said Hiruzen as Jiraiya and Kakashi too followed him without saying a word. They walked out of the room and sat down on the bench in the hallway, all of them in deep thought. Tsunade was walking down the halls as she saw the three sitting there with thoughtful expressions on their faces and saw the little blonde bundle in Kakashi's arms as he stirred awake and was getting a bit uncomfortable. Kakashi tried to calm him down, but he kept struggling. All the three men tried everything they could, but the boy wasn't calming down as they saw his troubled expression. He wasn't crying, but they knew he was uncomfortable and nearly whimpering, but they didn't know why or what to do for him. Tsunade saw the pathetic attempt of the three men calming him down. They were all startled as Tsunade walked up to them and took him in her arms as she wrapped him up in a warm embrace. He instantly calmed down and smiled as she rubbed his back gently and held him by his waist as she gazed at him with a loving expression. Naruto just kept staring at her with wide blue curious eyes, and she smiled at him lovingly as she kissed him softly on the lips, and he giggled happily as she rocked and cooed him, making him laugh all the more.

"Aren't you adorable, my little angel, ooohhh." She cooed, and he gazed at her curiously and rubbed her cheek softly with a bright smile as she held him closer to her. All the three were dumbfounded as Tsunade played with the little child that they were trying so hard to calm down and smiled a moment later, seeing her lost in her own world.

She cradled him in her arms and watched as he was smiling and giggling as she rubbed his whiskers that made him look all the more adorable in her eyes. She brought him closer to her chest as he yawned cutely and snuggled into her embrace and just went back into his deep slumber again. She smiled at his peaceful sleeping face and gazed at the three smiling men and looked on curiously.

"Why is it that you three idiots are taking care of him instead of Kushina?" she asked, and all of them looked down ashamed, confusing her greatly.

"Well, you see Tsunade, Kushina has kind of abandoned Naruto thinking that he is possessed by the Kyuubi." Said Hiruzen nervously as the temperature of the hallways dropped a couple of degrees.

"What?" she asked in a low voice, and all of them began to sweat as Kakashi spoke up.

"Well, you see Tsunade-Sama, she believes him to be the Kyuubi and that his soul has taken over his body. She even went as far as to call for the boy's death." Explained Kakashi nervously, and Hiruzen sighed.

"Yeah, and she won't be the only one too; once word gets out about his status or heritage, there will be whole villages out for him, not excluding our own. With Kushina abandoning him, he has nowhere to go, the orphanage won't be safe anymore, nor does he have any family since Minato was orphaned. He can't be entrusted to just anyone." He said sadly, and all of them looked down as Kakashi spoke up.

"Wait, Jiraiya-Sama, why don't you adopt the boy, you are his godfather, plus he will be safe with you." Said Kakashi and Jiraiya grew nervous as he looked around, trying to think of an excuse.

"Well, Kakashi, I have to run the spy network for the village, and I can't have a fear of a helpless child with me if someone tries to attack me or something. And I am not a great father material kind of a guy, you know." He said, laughing nervously, and Hiruzen sighed.

"I would have adopted him, but the council will raise hell over it, and with Biwako's death and me retaking the Hokage position, I cannot take care of him; there just isn't enough time for me to give if he is with me." He said, full of regret, and both turned to Kakashi.

"Well I have ANBU duties, and I don't have any experience with children, while I would be honored to be raising Sensei's child, I just don't think I have what it takes to commit to raising a person to adulthood, I'm not even there yet."He said as all three of them looked down on the ground, thinking of what to do as Tsunade had enough of their rambling.

"Pathetic…" she whispered, and they all looked at her questionably.

"To think that you would all make such excuses and leave the child of the person who gave up his life for this pathetic excuse of a village. How far has this village fallen? To think that a mother abandons her own son, his father's friends abandon his son as a worthless child, and the village he died protecting is calling for the murder of his child. The only excused one is Kakashi since he is a kid. This isn't the village that my grandfather and granduncle envisioned and died for. It was their dream that no child should ever suffer the childhood that they faced in their era, and thus, the village hidden in the leaves was found, but I guess they failed." She said icily, and all of them averted their eyes ashamed as the truth slammed into their faces.

"Don't worry about the child if none of you cowards are willing to take responsibility for him; I'll adopt him as my own son." She said calmly, and all of their eyes widened as Hiruzen smiled hopefully.

"So you are going to stay in the village now, Tsunade?" he asked hopefully, and she scoffed as they all looked confused.

"I've seen the real face of this village tonight, and it disgusts me to no end. No, I will be retiring from the shinobi forces entirely and go out of the village to raise Naru-chan there as my own son. He will be safer there than here with all the wolves hunting him in the village." She said, and Hiruzen was wide-eyed.

"You can't be serious, Tsunade, the village needs you now more than ever, and Naruto belongs here where his father wanted him to be raised." He said desperately, and she glared at him icily as he flinched from the stare.

"I came here just to treat the people of this village from the attack, only because I heard about the magnitude of the destruction. I was going to retire anyway, but I guess destiny had a beautiful plan for me in mind. Kami gave me a beautiful son to raise and live for." She whispered softly, kissing Naruto, and Hiruzen smiled sadly knowing she was right, and he had no way to make her stay. Plus, Naruto was not safe in the village at the moment. The villagers were plotting ways to get rid of him, and the council wanted him to keep the demon away from the 'hero twins' so that he won't get his power back and kill them.

"But Tsunade what about his father's enemies, they will be hunting him down, you are safer here than outside the village." Said Jiraiya knowing the village needed the strength of a Sannin and her skills desperately at the moment, and she glared at his pathetic excuse for keeping her tied down.

"Please I am one of the Sannin, Jiraiya and my skills haven't gone rusty since I got rid of my hemophobia I have upped my skills again, and I don't think that anyone is stupid enough from Iwa or Kumo to take me on just for the sake of hurting a child and bring the wrath of Konoha on them. They are recovering from the last war themselves and won't do anything stupid for now. Nothing any of you say will make me stay in the village any longer." She said, and Jiraiya nodded hesitatingly, knowing she was right. Kakashi just listened silently, knowing Tsunade will be giving him the love of a mother that he so desperately needed. It was the best for him, and he was happy for his sensei's legacy.

"Alright Sarutobi-sensei, I'll send my retirement papers to your office tomorrow morning along with the adoption papers for Naru-chan. I'll leave tomorrow at noon after we have dealt with everything." She said, and he nodded hesitantly, knowing there wasn't anything he could say to make her stay in the village.

"Alright, then I have healed all those that needed my immediate assistance and left the rest of the cures needed with the medical staff. If that is all, I will be retreating to the Senju compounds for the night. Naru-chan and I need a bit of sleep." She said, getting up, and they watched her leave with ashamed faces knowing that the truths she spoke of their cowardice would sting them for quite some time.

Senju Compounds

Tsunade walked through the large Senju compounds to the house of the clan head and saw that this abandoned part of the village was mostly unscathed with the barrier seals of her grandmother still holding up stable even after all these years. She walked through the gate of the house and on to the rock steps on the grounds of the massive garden towards the old royal two-story house that was still as elegant and beautiful as it was in its former days.

She opened the door as the barrier didn't stop her recognizing her blood and chakra signature and she walked in towards the master bedroom and put down Naruto on the massive bed as she went into the bathroom to get changed into her sleepwear and came out in a white robe tied around her and her hair flowing freely as she sat on the bed and took up Naruto in her arms and sat down as she heard the door open and knew Shizune must have come home.

Shizune slid open the door and dropped the small bag in her hand in shock as she saw Tsunade there holding a little child in her arms, gazing at him lovingly. She wondered who the child was, and his blonde hair just shocked her all the bit more.

"Tsunade-sama, who is that child?" She asked in a stunned voice pointing at Naruto and Tsunade saw Naruto's eyes open slightly from the voice as he yawned cutely and gazed at her with those wide blue curious eyes again. Shizune came beside her and sat down as she watched the adorable child that wasn't even paying attention to her and just staring at Tsunade curiously.

Tsunade kissed his lips softly, and he smiled and giggled happily as she cooed him, and suddenly Naruto tugged on her robe slightly. She thought that he must be hungry since the last food he was given at the hospital was six hours ago. She gently opened her robe as Naruto latched himself on her nipple, and she held him close to her as she held a ram hand seal, and Naruto started feeding himself happily. Shizune watched in disbelief as she saw her master feeding the little child on her own. But didn't understand how that was even possible for her to do.

"H-How?" she stuttered out, and Tsunade smiled at her little apprentice.

"This is a medical jutsu that I wanted to introduce to the nurses at the hospital for children who lost their mothers unexpectedly and needed to be fed. The council shot down the proposal seeing that it took a lot of training and time, and they thought of it as a waste of time for potential combat medics during the war. Well, I guess it does have its uses now. The user sends the medical chakra activating our mammary glands forcefully and stimulates them to create the milk for the child. I am the only one for now who can use it with the amount of control it needs, or it could lead to breast cancer in any inexperienced females attempting it.." She said as Shizune nodded with a smile and was amazed at the skill of her master as she watched the little blonde boy feed himself. She saw the glow of happiness on Tsunade's face and smiled at the two. She hadn't seen that smile on her face in so many years. This was what she needed the most she mused.

"Who is he, Tsunade-sama?" She asked, and Tsunade changed the position for little Naruto as he latched onto her other nipple and gazed at Shizune with a smile.

"I have adopted him, Shizune, and his name is Naruto. Kushina has abandoned him; he is Minato's son and has the soul of the Kyuubi sealed into him. The whole village, his mother included, has abandoned him and is calling for his death. I'll take him away from this village and raise him as my heir. I will send my retirement papers tomorrow morning along with his adoption papers, and we'll leave tomorrow at noon." She said, and Shizune was wide-eyed that they would do such a thing and watched as Naruto stopped, and Tsunade smiled as she tied her robe again. She undid her jutsu and watched as Naruto was staring at her curiously and then saw him looking at Shizune for the first time.

Shizune gasped as she saw his wide beautiful cerulean eyes staring at her curiously and hesitantly took him in her arms as she saw him staring at her. She just resisted the urge to yell KAWAII and glomp him to death at his adorable face. She watched as he gazed back at Tsunade and opened his arms to her urging her to hold him, and she took him from her and cradled him in her arms as he snuggled into her embrace happily. Shizune was surprised that he had such an attachment to her in such a short amount of time.

"He likes you, Tsunade-sama." She whispered as she saw Naruto feeling sleepy and going in and out of sleep, and Tsunade nodded.

"Yes, after all, he is my son." She spoke in a soft and happy voice, making Shizune smile as she walked out of the room towards her own, letting them have their rest. Tsunade laid down with her head on the pillow facing sideways as she gazed into the sleepy eyes of the little blonde beside her.

"Do you like me as your mother Naru-chan?" she whispered softly, and he rubbed her cheek with his tiny hand, and she kept her own on his and as she brought him close, and he snuggled into the crook of her neck happily, and she smiled. It was almost as if he understood the words she mused. She closed her own eyes and went to sleep with a big smile after all those years.

"Good night Naru-chan." She whispered as sleep claimed them both, and they slept peacefully into the night.

The Next Morning

Tsunade woke up with a yawn as she felt something snuggle into her neck and a small breath on her neck as she gazed down at the little blonde bundle cuddled up against her and smiled. She slowly sat up with him in her arms as he too yawned cutely and gazed at her with those curious cerulean orbs. His eyes and his little smile transfixed her, and she was surprised that he hadn't cried once since last night when those three idiots were scaring her cute baby. She fed him as he tugged on her robe again, and she rubbed his back gently, waiting for him to burp and then freshened up herself and little Naruto as she sat in the warm water of the bathtub with Naruto in her arms who was giggling and playing with the water. She played with him and laughed so happily after a long time and felt completely refreshed. She walked out of the bathroom as she walked over to the dresser and closet for some clothes.

She opened it and saw her usual clothes but chose to discard the green jacket for today and wore a white full-sleeved battle kimono that gave her excellent access if she had to feed Naruto again. She picked up Naruto and put the diapers on him that Shizune had brought her a while ago and wrapped him up in a blue blanket with the Senju symbol on it as she walked out with her hair tied in a loose bun with a senbon. She walked through the streets and towards the Hokage Tower as every villager turned and gazed at her curiously, seeing the little blanket in her arms and whispering things about who the child was or was he her son since they looked at his blonde hair and started gossiping.

She paid the idiots no mind as she gazed down at the little boy hidden from the villagers in the blanket and saw him playing with a lock of free hair of hers and smiled as she came up to the Hokage Tower.

Hokage Tower

Hokage Office

Hiruzen was going through his paperwork and was wondering if it would ever end. The stacks just kept piling up no matter how many he completed. He sighed as he heard a knock on the door and sighed in relief from the break he got.

"Come in," he said, and the door opened as Tsunade walked in with a blue blanket in her arms, and he saw the familiar mop of sun-kissed blonde hair peeking out of it and smiled at his student. Maybe this would be good for the both of them he mused. Tsunade walked up and placed a scroll on his desk with the official Senju clan seal on it, and he sighed.

"Tsunade, you don't have to retire, you have a lot of years ahead of you, and you already have Sannin travel rights. You can just go without retiring ." He tried to persuade her one last time, and she just scoffed.

"Please Sarutobi-sensei, that means the village can recall me if there is ever a trouble and force me to return. I don't want to return to this village until I want to and until Naru-chan is ready for it." She said, and he sighed as he took the scroll and unsealed it. It was worth a try he mused as he stamped the scroll handing it to her secretary and knew the council would raise hell over it. He took out the papers for adoption and kept them in front of her as Tsunade took a seat and picked up the brush signing it as Hiruzen took them back and stamped them with his official seal and handed them to his secretary too.

"Sarutobi-sensei, this adoption is official, right; I mean Kushina is still his real mother…" she said with uncertainty as Hiruzen cut her off with a wave.

"I had the paperwork done with her last night after you left, and she has evicted Naruto from the Uzumaki clan and has cut all her ties with him. She requested for Minato's inheritance, and I am afraid that Minato has left most of his fortune for the girls since Kushina has evicted him from it and left just a little for Naruto. Minato believed Kushina would take care of him and left her the guardian of his fortune, but he has left the knowledge he had for Naruto seeing he took after him." He said, handing her some scrolls with the Namikaze seals, and Tsunade took them with a smile.

"Well, I don't care about the money anyways the Senju fortune is already large enough. And I'm sure Naru-chan will appreciate these much more than money anyways." She said, and Hiruzen nodded with a smile.

"I suggest you keep the name Naruto Senju for now and do not associate with the Namikaze name for the time being until the animosity dies down a bit, alright." He said, and she nodded with a smile as she gazed down at the little child in her arms.

"So how do you like your new name Naru-chan, Naruto Senju has a nice ring to it, right?" she asked, cooing, and he giggled happily, making the adults smile, and Tsunade sat there playing with him.

"So Tsunade, where will you go now?" asked Hiruzen, and Tsunade answered him while playing with Naruto, not looking at him.

"There is an old Senju compound unused from the warring states era. Grandpa used to take me there when I was a child, and it is quite a big house with lots of open spaces and the protection of my grandmother and granduncle's seals. So it should be the safest place for Naru-chan for now. There is a small village nearby for supplies and is unknown to almost everyone now." She said, and Hiruzen nodded sadly.

"So when will you return to the village?" he asked, and she frowned.

"I don't know sensei, maybe when the village has recovered enough from their hate, and Naru-chan has grown up enough. If the villagers would still hold their hatred on him, then I don't know if I would ever return if Naru-chan doesn't want to." She said, and he nodded, hoping that the villagers came around in time.

"So, I guess this is goodbye, for now, sensei." She said, standing up, and he nodded himself, getting up and walking her to the door. Tsunade left and walked down the streets as she entered a convenience store and bought some supplies for the trip and went back on her way to the Senju estate, avoiding the annoying gossiping villagers.

Senju Compounds

Tsunade walked in, seeing Shizune packing all the stuff up and smiled for her help. She sat down on the cushion in the enormous traditional Japanese living room as Shizune came in, finishing the packing and smiled at her as she sat down in front of her.

"So Tsunade-sama, did everything go alright?" she asked, pouring both of them some tea and Tsunade took the glass gratefully and sipped it, keeping it down on the table.

"Yes, Shizune, everything went fine, and from today onwards, our little Naru-chan is Naruto Senju to the world and my son being the official clan heir to the Senju clan." She said happily, and Shizune smiled brightly.

"So now I am a big sister and have a little brother to coddle." She chirped happily, and Tsunade smiled and nodded as Shizune took the little boy in her arms.

"Now I am your big sister Naru-chan, you like me, don't you? Isn't your big sister the best?" she asked, cooing, and he giggled, giving her a confirmation as she coddled him happily and played with him. Tsunade smiled, thinking about how he had made both of them so happy over the past two days. She saw that he was now warming up to Shizune, too, and was happy about it.

"Shizune, is everything done? Are we ready to leave?" she asked, and Shizune nodded.

"Hai Tsunade-sama, everything is done, and we can leave anytime we want." She said, and Tsunade nodded as she took Naruto from her arms, and both started sealing the things into storage scrolls, and Naruto giggled every time they sealed something at the poofing sound it made, and the both of them laughed as they saw him get upset when everything was sealed. Tsunade glomped him as he puffed his cheeks slightly and rubbed her cheek against his making him giggle. Both of them picked up the scrolls and walked out of the compounds going towards the gates.

At the Village Gates

Tsunade came up to the gates seeing some people standing there. Hiruzen, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and the three elders, too, were there with them. She frowned, thinking about what they could be wanting with her and walked towards them. Koharu and Homura came forward and gave her a warm smile, and Tsunade just gave a small nod of acknowledgment without so much as a slight smile. They noticed this and grimaced at her cold greeting, and she looked at their faces of disgust that they had for a moment as they gazed at Naruto, and she held the sleeping child tightly to her chest, which they noticed and frowned.

"Tsunade-chan, why are you retiring and leaving the village, you have free Sannin travel rights, and we haven't forced you into anything all these years so why are you doing this? We can always get you reinstated and forget about all this. You don't have to leave," Said Koharu with her grandmotherly smile as Tsunade spoke up.

"No, I don't want to be tied down to this village any longer, and Naru-chan needs my full attention. I don't want you to recall me for any reason by force, and I have served this village quite enough already. I have fought in two of the last wars and have lost enough; it's time I left the shinobi forces and lived for myself." She said, and Homura spoke up.

"But Tsunade-chan, this is the village your ancestors built, the village needs the strength of a Sannin and the last Senju in the village at this time. You shouldn't leave and that too just because of that 'thing.'" He said, venomously whispering the last part as Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the old coot.

"You better hold your tongue, you old goat, that 'thing' as you called it is my son and the heir to the Senju clan and the son of Minato Namikaze." She said coldly, and Homura flinched and glared back as Danzo spoke up.

"You should stay Tsunade, what would your grandfather and grand uncle think of you leaving the village behind?" He asked in his stoic voice, trying to guilt-trip her, and she glared at the old war hawk.

"They would be ashamed of what this village has become, especially what some of their students have fallen to." She said as Danzo frowned, understanding her insinuation. He thought it to be a waste that the last Senju and a Sannin were leaving and that too for a useless Jinchuriki with no chakra. Maybe if he tried, he could get the real jinchuriki and make them good weapons for the village, he thought. All three backed down, seeing she was in no mood for any persuasion, and the other three stepped forward.

"Well, Tsunade, keep writing and keep in touch with your old sensei, alright." Said Hiruzen, and she nodded with a small smile.

"Umm, take care of Naruto Tsunade-sama, I can't think of a better person than you to care for him. Maybe you could come back with him sometime." Kakashi said nervously, and Tsunade smiled, seeing the usually laid back copy ninja fiddling with words and nodded.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, you'll see him, and I'll take care of him. After all, he is my son, don't you worry about a thing." She said, and Kakashi nodded with an eye smile.

"Well, Tsunade-hime don't you worry I'll be seeing you soon, after all, I can't be too long gone without seeing my godson. And Minato did name him after my book's character." He said proudly, and she smiled.

"Yeah, the only book you wrote that was worth anything." She said, and Jiraiya looked offended.

"Hey, I'll have you know my books are a hit. Even Kakashi and Sensei have turned to my ways of exquisite literature. I'll let you know." He said, and she looked at the both of them incredulously who were whistling innocently looking away, and Jiraiya continued.

"And after all, maybe you could show me a thing or two for my research." He said giggling perversely, and a moment later, he was embedded in the village wall crying anime tears as the other two sweatdropped. They all said their goodbyes and Tsunade walked out towards the old Senju hidden compounds with Shizune and little Naruto in her arms with a smile.

Authors Note: So I would like to give a massive shoutout to NXSE- previously NarutoXSharinganxEnthusiast- for allowing me to recycle their absolutely astounding fanfiction. While the original certainly was amazing, I also feel it was missing a few things; most notably, it was missing impact and complexity. I think people should at least somewhat relate to an antagonist, so to add upon this story I want to include the Uzumaki family more, Specifically note how Kushina had made the decision while suffering from PTSD, as evident by the panic attack I added in this chapter. I also have plans for the "Twins," whereas, in the original, they were sort of just there to contrast naruto's demeanor after being raised differently. The first few chapters will remain roughly the same with slight tweaks made to allow for my diverging story to function. Once we enter entirely original content ill be sure to let you know. But if you want to get ahead of me or want to compare the story I still highly suggest reading Naruto: the Advent of The Flash By NXSE and make sure to check out his other works as well, I highly recommend Desert flower, its a beautiful tragedy where Naruto ends up a sand ninja and learns what it is like to be truly loved. There's more to it than that but its honestly really amazing and I'd hate to spoil it further.
