Chapter 9 – Failed Invasion, New Housemate, Fall of Root, Rise of Bark.

Both Naruto and Mito heard a noise outside.

*KABOOM*

"What was that" Mito asked

"…The invasion has begun…"

The Kage box exploded and the ninja from Oto attacked. Suna was helping the Konoha ninja thanks to Naruto and Gaara but mainly due to a better treaty letting Suna take the missions Konoha has been getting from their Daimyo. During the exams and evacuating those who didn't go to watch the finals.

Many of shinobi went outside of Konoha to eliminate Oto ninja's who were going to attack the village. The clans of Konoha decided to keep their clan scrolls safe, leaving many of the clan members there. Zabuza left many Mizu Bushins at their compound as they planned to make a jutsu scrolls for the clan compound. Naruto sent Kage Bsuhins to the compound as well while he treated Mito's wounds.

Konoha, Iwa and Suna ninja fought off Oto shinobi. Jiraiya summoned a toad to counter the summoned snake that was luckily stopped before it destroyed any major property. Kushina fought along with her genin students; Yugao Uzuki, Hayate and Hana Inuzuka. Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and Kurenai fought with their students.

Orochimaru was NOT having a good day first the Tsuchikage and Minato where working together, secondly Suna was helping Konoha, and thirdly Gaara wasn't acting insane and was actually acting normal instead of screaming bloodlust and existence.

"Something wrong Orochimaru?" Minato said sarcastically. Onoki was behind the Sannin holding a Dust Release sphere. This scared Orochimaru greatly.

Naruto and Mito ran out of the medical room and saw that Kurotsuchi, Gaara, Satsuki, Haku, Neji, Sai, Yakumo and Akatsuchi were there.

"Took you long enough" Sai mused.

"Yeah yeah, let's just fight some Oto nins hmm" Naruto said before looking at Mito. "Ready Imoto?"

"I was already ready nii-chan."

"Oh so I'm nii-chan now." Naruto smirked.

"Haha very funny now let's go." Mito said as they all went to help stop the invasion.

A few hours of fighting, Oto started to retreat and Naruto went to help his father and his so called future grandfather-in-law. Orochimaru was dodging Rasengans and thrown boulders until his body got numb. "Raiton: Shibire Sutoraiku" a voice belonging to Naruto called out. "Now!" he shouted as he and Kurotsuchi and Mito went through hand signs.

"Suiton: Mizurappa" Kurotsuchi said as she shot a stream water at high speed at Orochimaru.

"Futon: Daitoppa" Naruto said increasing the speed of the jutsu.

"Kenjutsu: Oshioki" Mito shouted as she slashed the air creating multiple red waves of energy.

"Oh shi…" Orochimaru started as he was hit by all three attacks. Onoki and Minato seeing the opportunity to attack Minato used his Hiarishin and Rasengan while Onoki used his Dust Style.

"Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu (Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique)" Onoki said trapping Orochimaru in the cube variant version making it explode with Orochimaru inside. Minato looked at his two children while Onoki looked at Kurotsuchi.

"Your three all idiots you know that right! You could have gotten hurt." Minato said while Naruto stared at him.

"I rather be an idiot than a genius any day." Naruto retorted.

"Well at least you three are fine, by the way how did you get in here." Onoki said.

"Well…since Orochimaru is dead at least as far as we know with that slippery snake. Oto has no leader and many ninja here ARE under influence by the curse mark, I just happened to convince them that I'd remove their curse mark." Naruto said as Minato sighed knowing his eldest was right. He knew he couldn't just let Oto ninjas in but…Suna could take in some new ninja due to their sizes. Minato found Suna nins and told him the new treaty with the missions and with a larger ninja force.

"You do know what you're doing right?" Dosu asked

"Of course" Naruto replied with a few Oto nins who agreed to join Suna changed that changed their clothes and got Suna headbands watched. Naruto placed his hand on his shoulder and his hand started to glow, and then…it was gone. "Ok who's next." Naruto said before working on the others. Naruto got rid of the Sound Four, the Sound Trio and Anko's curse mark.

"Thanks gaki (brat)" Anko said finally free of the curse mark.

"No problem" Naruto said as he turned to the new Suna teams. "Have a nice trip."

"We will" Gaara said before shaking Naruto's hand.

"Congratulations Kurotsuchi for making Chunnin" said Onoki.

"Congratulations Shikamaru, Naruto, Mito for making Chunnin." Said Minato, he then told them their crowning achievement. "You three are in the bingo books. No bounties just high ranked ninjas." Minato said.

"You three did help in killing Orochimaru and we decided to give you three the bounty spilt three ways." Onoki said handing each a scroll. "But now…"

"…the arranged marriage…" Minato said shocking a few genin who stayed behind outside to hear what was happening. Minato expecting a 'Eh' or a 'What' got something completely different.

"I already know of this….tou-san…" Naruto sighed with Minato seeing how hard it was for Naruto to call him that.

"Let me guess….Mito?" Minato asked when Naruto nodded. Minato was got a Konoha hitai'ate and gave it to Kurotsuchi. "You don't need to wear it as you'll both be considered ambassadors but we both decided that you'll both live in Konoha."

"Since your both too young to officially marry you will wait a few years before you'll actually marry." Onoki added. Naruto turned to Kurotsuchi.

"Well looks like I have to show you were you'll be staying Kurotsuchi-chan." Naruto said.

"Lead the way Naruto-kun" She replied.

"Maybe I could make this work…" Naruto thought. Later that day Naruto showed her around Konoha and to where she would be staying.

"You live here?"

"Yep, bought it myself from selling seals and doing missions." Naruto brought Kurotsuchi to one of the empty rooms. "This is one of the empty rooms you can use" Naruto pointed at a room "That room is mine and the other two are my housemates."

Kurotsuchi entered the clean empty room and pulled out a few scrolls and filling the room with her belongings. The next few weeks Naruto took Kurotsuchi on a few dates making Satsuki, Haku and Yakumo jealous, however Jiraiya was writing down furiously at this endless gold mine. One night both Haku and Kurotsuchi got the same idea and both go on each side of Naruto as he slept. When Naruto woke up he saw both of them snuggled up to him making him blush a dark shade of red. He didn't bother to wake them up and when they both woke up and asked he replied saying that he found it cute and wouldn't mind doing this.

The council saw fit that Naruto should be placed into a CRA (Clan Restoration Act) when Minato tried to stop it the council it got out of hand when Danzo said that they had the last known Mokuton that could be passed down with children. This put Naruto in a CRA however that Naruto could choose his wives and decides when or if to bear children thanks to the interference of the clan heads.

Unluckily for Danzo, Naruto had a spy of his own in ROOT and his name was Sai, after learning of Shin's fate who was Sai's brother. Naruto promised Sai that he would help him by getting information, blackmail and evidence to use against Danzo. Sai brought many copies of documents and letters to Naruto about ROOT's missions, plans and experiments as well as kidnapping children with Kekkei Genkai.

"Sai" Naruto called out.

"Yes, Naruto-sama." Sai responded making Naruto's eye twitch.

"One…STOP CALLING ME SAMA!" Naruto shouted at his friend. "We are friends….Secondly…prepare for the 'Unrooting' alright."

"Operation 'UNROOT' will be ready soon."

"I was thinking….maybe just maybe…..we could call you BARK ANBU."

"BARK? What do you mean?"

"There is ROOT, and the village if the branches and the leaves and of course the TREE itself correct."

"Correct."

"We are the BARK on the tree protecting it keeping the TREE safe from harm."

"I understand, so this is the creation of BARK?"

"You could say that…..Don't worry were not going to be like ROOT only a small group of individuals….us two mainly." Sai just nodded. "For the first phase of 'Operation Unrooting' as you called it…we need to inform the Fire Daimyo about Danzo and his treason with all this evidence." Naruto then turned to Sai. "What is your current mission?"

"My current mission is to go out of the village and eliminate some higher ups…behind the council's back of course."

"Okay take this copy of the evidence to the Daimyo." Naruto said as he handed a scroll fill with the copied documents. "Also this copy to the Hokage…by the way come here." Naruto gestured Sai over before his and glowed green and showing ink from a curse mark. "There no more curse mark." Sai thanked his friend and left to go to the Daimyo and Hokage.

Minato was working overtime again in his office until a masked clone handed him a scroll. "From a friend…also the Daimyo will also be informed…under your name of course." The clone said before dispelling. Minato looked over the documents in this scroll and was fuming.

"ANBU Arrest Danzo for treason!" Minato ordered the hidden ANBU.

The Fire Daimyo got an unexpected visitor when a masked ANBU appeared and handed him a scroll. "This is the evidence of treason by Danzo Shimura and is protected by the civilian council that makes the Hokage unable to touch him." The masked ninja said before disappearing to his mission. When the Daimyo read this he was furious of how Danzo used both him and the Hokage without anyone knowing and that he was protected due to the civilian council and spies within the Daimyo's palace, the Daimyo ordered to capture the spies and was going to Konoha.

When Sai returned and told of his mission's success about the assassination. Danzo waved him off saying that his mission was complete. Sai then went to Naruto telling him his side of the mission.

"Good work Sai." Naruto said working on a seal. "Since Danzo isn't the last member of the Shimura clan we don't have to worry about wiping out a clan….Phase two; we wait till Danzo's execution… have fun drawing Sai." Naruto waved.

Later that night in Naruto's compound he was working on a seal until he saw something under the floorboards…something red... Naruto easily picked up the piece of floor and saw a red scroll, placing the floor piece tightly back in place. Naruto read the contents of the scroll and saw that the clan that was here still had their clan jutsus here, the place might have been cleaned the clan estate but they didn't search for anything.

The scroll itself had a few things in it was well as giving clues to the location of the so called 'Vault' where all the previous clans' weapons, jutsus and other the other clan's property. The scroll had a key for the vault stored in in. Naruto decided to put the scroll back where he got it and to look for this vault later.

Naruto added his own jutsus into scrolls and placed them in the library along with Zabuza's, Haku's jutsus even Kurotsuchi added the jutsus that she knew into the library, luckily that only people with their chakra signature added can get into the estate and into again into the jutsu library. Naruto thought of adding a chakra signature reading on the vault when he finds it.

Right now he just had to wait for the arrival of the Daimyo.
