Ichiraku Naruto
by Pentupfury
_
Here's a quick one-shot that I came up with. It's neither original nor deeply developed. Some parts may also be a little
poorly written, but I just figured I'd spit it down and get it out of my head.
On a side note, canon Naruto is really starting to piss me of. What's with this whole "We'll die together" shit? Could he
be any more gay? (I don't have anything against homosexuality but I hope you get my point).

_In a dark room four figures sit at a small oval table. Three of them
sit at one end, closer to each other but still keeping a comfortable
distance. The left one was distinctly female with long hair, the dark
outline showing generous curves. The middle one was short his outline
giving the impression of a stocky older man. The right one was tall and
large with broad muscles. At the other end a small lamp allows the
fourth figure to read whilst keeping his face in the shadows.
"Do you accept the mission?" One of the three asks, a man, with an aged gravelly voice.
The questioned rolls up the scroll he was reading, slips it into his breast pocket and get to his feet.
"I do."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A twenty four year old Naruto sits bare chest at the table on the veranda, pretending not to notice the presence of his observers.
If he were standing he would be at six foot four, powerfully built with hard; sculpted muscles. His blood red hair hangs like a mane just past his shoulders. His eyes are now a royal blue with fox like slits. His cheeks are free of whisker marks as it has already been a few years since he fully absorbed the Kyuubi, and he now has perfect control of his youki.
He smiles as his wife, and mate, walks out of their traditional Japanese style house carrying two large bowls of ramen on a platter. He has long since stopped eating the noodle dish at every meal but it is still his favorite food.
"Arigato, Ayame-hime." He takes a deep breath through his nose. "It smells delicious as always." He adds with a grin and rubs his chopsticks together before starting to eat.
His vixen smiles widely, showing her slightly elongated, fang like canines. She stands at five foot five. Her once brown hair now has a dark red tint and flows freely to her waist. Her eyes are a warm earthy brown, but now have the same fox like slits as her mate's. She's wearing a soft, white form fitting kimono with vermillion trimmings and maple leaf patterns.
Moments later a shadow stretches out from the tree line and connects with Naruto's. Seven of the eight intruders then jump out from the trees. He had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. He wasn't sure what part of the situation proved best just how stupid his would be attackers were. One that, despite his reputation, they tried such a low level jutsu and were actually confident enough that it had worked to 'reveal' themselves. Two that, despite his reputation, they truly seemed to believe he hadn't sensed them. And finally that they hadn't bothered to 'restrain' his companion. All in all they were lucky that he had use for them.
Pretending to be immobilized he let his eyes wonder over the different faces.
"Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Chouji, Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten, and I suppose that's Nara Shikamaru hiding in the trees." He said calmly.
They frowned at his reaction but Neji quickly recovered.
"Uzumaki Naruto, by order of the Hokage and the council your banishment has been lifted and you are to return to Konoha. If you do not come freely we are authorized to use any means necessary to ensure your compliance."
Naruto was tempted to ask them what tree they lived under. The bingo book ranked him as a SSS flee on sight ninja and they sent two measly teams to 'bring him in'. He sighed softly. It was most likely more of the council's arrogance at play. That and Tsunade probably thought that he wouldn't attack his 'friends'. Well…she was right on that, but not for the reasons she would assume.
His brow creased into a frown as Ino drew a kunai and started walking towards Ayame. The ex-waitress was far from weak, over half a decade of training with him and then being marked as his mate had seen to that, but a kitsune is nothing if not possessive.
"One more step Yamanaka, and I'll break you in half." He growled in a chilling voice, blasting the area with Killing Intent to show he wasn't joking. It was only a fraction of what he could generate but it was enough to have them in a cold sweat and shaking at the knees.
He released the KI and, since Shikamaru had dropped his jutsu, pushed his chair back and got to his feet.
"Well, what do you say Ayame-hime?" He asked cheerfully. "Want to visit Knonoha?"
She gave another radiant smile with just a hint of mischief, and if you looked carefully, a touch of evil intent.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The group arrived around midday one week and five days later. They could have made the journey in two or three days easily enough, but Naruto and Ayame felt no need to hurry, much to teams nine and ten's chagrin.
As soon as they entered Konoha they were surrounded by ANBU.
"Uzumaki Naruto you are to report to the Hokage's office immediately!"
He looked at their masks with a bored expression. Cat; Boar; Eagle and Wolf. They were all slightly tense, ready to spring into action. At least someone knew to take him seriously. He scratched his chin, pretending to give the idea some thought.
"No…we've just arrived from a long trip," He said with a slight drawl. "I think we're going to rest our weary feet. You can tell your Hokage that we'll see her tomorrow."
Before they could react Naruto disappeared, seeming to phase out of existence. Ayame was just a beat behind him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They reappeared in an isolated clearing. Small white flowers were interspersed in the lush green grass. They joined hands and made their way up the slow slope, stopping a few feet from the base of a large tree. The flowers were more heavily present here, blues and yellows coming to join the whites. Carved into the bark was an inscription.
Here lays Ichiraku Teuchi, beloved father.

FLASHBACK
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ayame felt tears well up in her eyes as she sat next to her father's hospital bed. He had caught a bad fever and from what he had just told her the doctors said that with his advance age they didn't expect him to make it through.
She felt like finding them and beating to within an inch of their lives when he told her. She could tell that they hadn't even made an attempt at bedside manner. Since Naruto's banishment just over a year ago the citizens of Konoha had been a lot less subtle in expressing their dislike, taking it as a sign that they would no longer be punished. And they were right; even though the Sandaime's law was still in effect the Godaime was a lot less strict in enforcing it. The whole village was now aware of Naruto's tenant and the few who openly defended him were called 'Demon lovers' and treated like pariah's. Whether the slug princess didn't care or was too drunk to take notice was anyone's guess.
"Ayame-chan," her father's tiered voice broke her out of her reverie. "Ayame-chan, I want you to promise me something."
"Anything, otou-san." She replied in a subdued tone.
He looks at her sadly for a while before continuing. "When I'm gone, I want you to take what you can and leave Konoha." He took a rattling breath. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to stay here. Not with the way things are turning out." A grin spread across his face. "Who knows, maybe you can find Naruto."
A blush tinged her cheeks as the tears finally broke free. She nodded once, firmly. "Hai! I promise!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
END FLASHBACK
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He had died a couple of hours later. He had been cremated and she had buried his in the clearing, refusing to have her father share his ultimate resting place with the bigots of Konoha.
She had then collected what money she had, her personal affects, and then she had left the village hidden in the leaves. She had gone to the Land of Waves, knowing from Naruto's stories that he might have gone there after his banishment. There she had met Tazuna who, at first, had been suspicious of her because of where she came from. But eventually he had told her to go to
Spring Country.
Apparently he had sent a message ahead of her because when she got there Naruto had been waiting for her.
They had been together since.
When they finished paying their respects to the ramen chef they headed back to the village.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Small lemon warning
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The mid morning sun shone down, breaking through the cracks between the drawn curtains of their hotel room. They had set up a strong genjutsu to prevent any kind of intrusion but they hadn't taken any chances. As far as they were concerned Konoha was hostile territory so that meant no sleep if it could be avoided. Instead they had partaken in a more…pleasurable…activity.
"Ummm! Harder Naruto-kun." Ayame moaned as his cock pound into her pussy.
They had been going at it for hours, all night in fact. Reaffirming his grip on her hips Naruto complied, plunging into her folds vigorously and pulling her back so her but slapped against his pelvis with each thrust. She was on her hands and knees with Naruto fucking her from behind as was their preference, probably due to their Kitsune side.
He grunted as her velvety walls tightened and fluttered around his meat as another orgasm sent her body on fire. He pulled his ten inch member out, panting slightly from the effort it took to hold back his own release, and pressed his engorged head against her other hole.
With a firm push he buried his entire length in her rectum. She screamed out in pleasure at the filling sensation. They had done it enough times that there wasn't even the tiniest hint of pain.
Naruto set a steady rhythm, grinding in and out, pressing against all the right spots and sending the vixen into a stream of successive orgasms.
With a final thrust Naruto emptied his load in his mate's bowels, rope after rope of hot, thick semen filling her depths and triggering an ear splitting scream of ecstasy.
Without pulling out her spun her around and picked her up. Ayame wrapped her legs around him as they made their way to the shower. When they were under the warm running water Ayame got down on her knees and took his still hard meat in her mouth.
She swirled her soft tong around the head and sucked hard, cleaning all the seed from his canal with a lewd sound. When she was satisfied that there wasn't any left she started bobbing her head back and forth. Her hand came up and started fondling his sack in an attempt to coax more out of them.
Minutes later her efforts were repaid with a pulsing torrent of Naruto's baby making batter. She worked her throat overtime to swallow it all up and as she took in the last mouthful she applied another hard suction before releasing him with an obscene 'pop', leaving the large member squeaky clean and shining from her saliva.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Small lemon finished
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Ayame and Naruto arrived at the Tower they went straight to the third floor and stopped at the secretary's desk. Shizune was busy doing paperwork, Tsunade's no doubt, and hadn't noticed them.
"Excuse me, I was told your Hokage wanted to see me." He said dispassionately, his mind still on the morning's activities.
The Hokage's assistant looked up and her eyes widened, she sprung to her feet and practically ran to her master's door, motioning for them to follow her. Inside they were greeted with the sight of a snoring Tsunade, a bottle of sake tipped over on her desk with its contents soaking into what little paperwork she hadn't pawned of to her assistant.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune cried out in dismay, and started bustling around cleaning up the mess.
Naruto waited patiently as the woman woke from her alcohol induced nap, her eyes widening when she saw him. He raised a brow when she sent a meaningful nod to her assistant that sent the younger woman scrambling out of the room, but wasn't overly interested.
After a short silence Naruto spoke up.
"So you requested my presence." He said, enjoying the slight shock his calmness caused. After another silence he frowned and spoke again, this time in a much colder tone. "Senju-san, if you've nothing to say I'd rather not waste my time here."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him. "I ordered you here Naruto, because you are a ninja of Konoha and there are affairs that require your attention."
The kitsune sighed dramatically. "I WAS a ninja of Konoha, Senju-san. If you remember YOU and the council banished me when I failed to return Uchiha Sasuke when he abandoned the village."
Ayame smirked when she saw the woman flinch. She didn't need to be here, in fact this was the first time she accompanied her mate since she usually preferred to stay at their house in southern Spring Country. Konoha, however, was a sore spot for both of them and she had wanted to see how things went.
"Nonetheless," The kage said. "We have decided to reinstate you."
"And what makes you thi…"
He was interrupted by the opening of the office door. Turning around he saw Shizune walk in with two red headed women, one seemed to be about his age and the other was in her late forties. By the way they carried themselves he could tell they were kunoichi, and probably quite talented. He also had a pretty good idea of who they were.
Tsunade looked as if she had won the lottery. "Ah! Kushi-chan, Naru-chan, you're here." She exclaimed happily. She was obviously glad to give the conversation a new direction. "Gaki! Meet your mother and sister."
His suspicion was confirmed. Ha had found out about his mother and sister from his father, or rather the imprint of his father that Minato had left in the seal. The only thing he hadn't known was if they were alive or not. He looked at them with mild curiosity, noticing that both seemed happy to see him. But there was also something else…
"I see, nice to meet you." He said, and then turned back to the last Senju. "Now as I was saying: what makes you think I have any interest in being reinstated as a Konoha nin?"
Naruto and Ayame were more than a little amused at the slack jawed shock that his callous response provoked, but before they could come up with a reply an Owl masked ANBU puffed into the room.
"Hokage-sama, the council has convened and wishes to see you and Uzumaki-san."
Naruto grabbed Ayame's hand and started walking towards the door, pushing past his 'family'. "Good! Let's see what the council wants." Then seeing another opportunity to rub them the wrong way he said, in an only slightly lower voice. "Besides, better to speak to the master than its dog." He moved in for the kill. "Or bitch in this case."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Naruto and Ayame sat in front of the council. Opposite them was Tsunade with the advisers on either side, to the left was the civilian council and to the right the shinobi council. Apparently Kushina and her daughter (He couldn't be bothered to remember her name.) were representing the Namikaze clan, something he knew they couldn't legally do since he was the heir.
Finally, half hidden in a mysteriously dark corner was Danzo. Though why he was there and what position he supposedly occupied Naruto had never found out.
Homura took the reins and decided to get the show started. "Uzumaki Naruto we have…"
"Ichiraku!" Naruto interrupted. How the old man could sound so pompous with just four words was nothing short of amazing.
"Excuse me?"
"My name is Ichiraku Naruto." He took Ayame's hand and placed a small kiss on it. "The name Uzumaki means nothing to me so when we married I took my wife's name."
There was a soft drone as the various members of the council muttered their opinions, but it died down when Koharu spoke.
"That is acceptable." This earned her a raised eyebrow from the couple, and an unhappy look from Kushina. "However we are here to speak about your reinstatement and you duty to Konoha."
Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Sorry but I'm actually here for an entirely different reason."
Before anyone could react Ayame disappeared in a blur and she, and four copies appeared in each corner of the room their hands held out in a tiger seal.
"Shishienjin!" (Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment)
The barrier sprung into life and moments later four smaller ones protected Ayame and her clones from inside attack. This barrier however was different from the one used by the sound four during the invasion, rather than a clear purple barrier it was a thick malevolent red.
Ayame had started training to late to properly develop her chakra coils for ninjutsu, so at first she had focused on taijutsu, kenjutsu and fuinjutsu, though she could only charge the smallest seals. When Naruto had marked her as his mate however her chakra had been converted into youki and her reserves, while not at Naruto's level, was on par with the higher biju.
Panic spread through the civilian council, whereas the shinobi were now on guard.
"THE DEMON'S GOING TO KILL US! ANBU! ANBU!"
A few flares of chakra marked the demise of those who tried to answer the call.
"Do calm down." Naruto said in an exasperated tone and blasted them with KI. This time he use his full ability, making all the civilian council pass out and bringing the shinobi to their knees. Outside the Tower the same thing could be observed throughout most of the village, along with a good number of heart attacks. "I'm not going to kill you." He said, still facing the now unconscious pink haired banshee. He released the KI. "I just want to talk without being interrupted."
Naruto turned back and looked from one adviser, to the other, and back again. He decided to draw the moment out a bit.
"So." He drawled out. "You were saying something about duties? Am I to assume this has to do with the war against Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa, and the fact that, after my banishment, most of your political alliances were cancelled?"
Homura scowled, but Koharu took on a kind façade as she replied. "Hai, Naruto-kun Konoha is in need of your help. "
Tsunade piped up with her two yen. "Look at it this way gaki, it's the first step to becoming Hokage." She looked like she expected the short blond knucklehead of ten years past to spring out and scream about how he'd be the best Hokage ever, dattebayo!
Kushina tried to seal the deal. "Besides Naru-kun it's time you got your inheritance and took your father's legacy." She obviously thought he would jump up and start pleading her to tell who his father was.
Naruto just looked at them and sighed.
"You know I had intended to drag this out so I could crush your hopes after. But you're all so dense that I'm just gonna get this over with." He completely ignored the frowns and scowls. What really irked him was that he knew why they acted so dense. In his youth he had forgiven and forgiven and forgiven to such a point that even people he barely knew couldn't seem to contemplate a situation where he wouldn't bend over backwards to please the people of Konoha.
"So let's get down to business. Koharu, I no longer have the need or desire to protect Konoha. Tsunade, from the previous statement even you should be able to deduce that I no longer want to be Hokage. Kushina, I have long since known who my father is. I am well aware that you and your daughter have tried, and failed, to gain access to the Namikaze property and that the security seals have rejected you because neither of you is the heir. Not that it would have done you any good since I emptied the place of all heirlooms, valuables and scrolls years ago."
The whole situation was really starting to get on his nerves now and he just wanted to get things over with. Reaching into his breast pocket he pulled out a small scroll and tossed it to Tsunade. She unrolled it and started reading. Everyone's attention was on her as her eyes slowly slid down the page. Just as she reached the bottom her eyes widened in horror…
…And her world went black.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In a dark room four figures sit at a small oval table. Three of them sit at one end, closer to each other but still keeping a comfortable distance. The left one was distinctly female with long hair, the dark outline showing generous curves. The middle one was short his outline giving the impression of a stocky older man. The right one was tall and large with broad muscles.
This time the lamp was near the three figures, but still kept their faces out of sight.
The fourth figure pulled a scroll out of his breast pocket and threw it down the table. The middle figure caught it and, after a moment's inspection, unrolled, and channeled some chakra into it.
With a series of pops and a large puff of smoke a line of heads appeared on the table. The figures examine the heads for a few minutes then silently three scrolls, these ones as tall as a man, are slid down the table.
"May we ask how you were able to accomplish the mission so fast and with so little…collateral damage?" A soft feminine voice asks.
The last figure tilts his head, and then shrugs. "They invited me in…pretty much did all the work for me."
He stands, collects the scrolls and walks out of the room. He doesn't check the contents; they know the consequences of swindling him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Naruto placed the three scrolls in the slots he had prepared for them. It was a nice cabinet made from exotic wood with five lockable doors, each labeled with a different symbol: Leaf; Sand; Rock; Mist; and Cloud. It was surrounded by heaps of precious metals, beautiful weapons, jewels, coins and notes many other treasures.
On a wall was a series of unrolled scroll, pinned up like posters. They were mission scrolls for his most memorable missions.

Naruto felt a pair of arms wrap around him and smiled.
All in all things had worked out nicely.
"Do you accept the mission?" One of the three asks, a man, with an aged gravelly voice.
The questioned rolls up the scroll he was reading, slips it into his breast pocket and get to his feet.
"I do."

"Excuse me, I was told your Hokage wanted to see me." He said dispassionately, his mind still on the morning's activities.
The Hokage's assistant looked up and her eyes widened, she sprung to her feet and practically ran to her master's door, motioning for them to follow her. Inside they were greeted with the sight of a snoring Tsunade, a bottle of sake tipped over on her desk with its contents soaking into what little paperwork she hadn't pawned of to her assistant.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune cried out in dismay, and started bustling around cleaning up the mess.
Naruto waited patiently as the woman woke from her alcohol induced nap, her eyes widening when she saw him. He raised a brow when she sent a meaningful nod to her assistant that sent the younger woman scrambling out of the room, but wasn't overly interested.
After a short silence Naruto spoke up.
"So you requested my presence." He said, enjoying the slight shock his calmness caused. After another silence he frowned and spoke again, this time in a much colder tone. "Senju-san, if you've nothing to say I'd rather not waste my time here."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him. "I ordered you here Naruto, because you are a ninja of Konoha and there are affairs that require your attention."
The kitsune sighed dramatically. "I WAS a ninja of Konoha, Senju-san. If you remember YOU and the council banished me when I failed to return Uchiha Sasuke when he abandoned the village."
Ayame smirked when she saw the woman flinch. She didn't need to be here, in fact this was the first time she accompanied her mate since she usually preferred to stay at their house in southern Spring Country. Konoha, however, was a sore spot for both of them and she had wanted to see how things went.
"Nonetheless," The kage said. "We have decided to reinstate you."
"And what makes you thi…"
He was interrupted by the opening of the office door. Turning around he saw Shizune walk in with two red headed women, one seemed to be about his age and the other was in her late forties. By the way they carried themselves he could tell they were kunoichi, and probably quite talented. He also had a pretty good idea of who they were.
Tsunade looked as if she had won the lottery. "Ah! Kushi-chan, Naru-chan, you're here." She exclaimed happily. She was obviously glad to give the conversation a new direction. "Gaki! Meet your mother and sister."
His suspicion was confirmed. Ha had found out about his mother and sister from his father, or rather the imprint of his father that Minato had left in the seal. The only thing he hadn't known was if they were alive or not. He looked at them with mild curiosity, noticing that both seemed happy to see him. But there was also something else…
"I see, nice to meet you." He said, and then turned back to the last Senju. "Now as I was saying: what makes you think I have any interest in being reinstated as a Konoha nin?"
Naruto and Ayame were more than a little amused at the slack jawed shock that his callous response provoked, but before they could come up with a reply an Owl masked ANBU puffed into the room.
"Hokage-sama, the council has convened and wishes to see you and Uzumaki-san."
Naruto grabbed Ayame's hand and started walking towards the door, pushing past his 'family'. "Good! Let's see what the council wants." Then seeing another opportunity to rub them the wrong way he said, in an only slightly lower voice. "Besides, better to speak to the master than its dog." He moved in for the kill. "Or bitch in this case."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Naruto and Ayame sat in front of the council. Opposite them was Tsunade with the advisers on either side, to the left was the civilian council and to the right the shinobi council. Apparently Kushina and her daughter (He couldn't be bothered to remember her name.) were representing the Namikaze clan, something he knew they couldn't legally do since he was the heir.
Finally, half hidden in a mysteriously dark corner was Danzo. Though why he was there and what position he supposedly occupied Naruto had never found out.
Homura took the reins and decided to get the show started. "Uzumaki Naruto we have…"
"Ichiraku!" Naruto interrupted. How the old man could sound so pompous with just four words was nothing short of amazing.
"Excuse me?"
"My name is Ichiraku Naruto." He took Ayame's hand and placed a small kiss on it. "The name Uzumaki means nothing to me so when we married I took my wife's name."
There was a soft drone as the various members of the council muttered their opinions, but it died down when Koharu spoke.
"That is acceptable." This earned her a raised eyebrow from the couple, and an unhappy look from Kushina. "However we are here to speak about your reinstatement and you duty to Konoha."
Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Sorry but I'm actually here for an entirely different reason."
Before anyone could react Ayame disappeared in a blur and she, and four copies appeared in each corner of the room their hands held out in a tiger seal.
"Shishienjin!" (Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment)
The barrier sprung into life and moments later four smaller ones protected Ayame and her clones from inside attack. This barrier however was different from the one used by the sound four during the invasion, rather than a clear purple barrier it was a thick malevolent red.
Ayame had started training to late to properly develop her chakra coils for ninjutsu, so at first she had focused on taijutsu, kenjutsu and fuinjutsu, though she could only charge the smallest seals. When Naruto had marked her as his mate however her chakra had been converted into youki and her reserves, while not at Naruto's level, was on par with the higher biju.
Panic spread through the civilian council, whereas the shinobi were now on guard.
"THE DEMON'S GOING TO KILL US! ANBU! ANBU!"
A few flares of chakra marked the demise of those who tried to answer the call.
"Do calm down." Naruto said in an exasperated tone and blasted them with KI. This time he use his full ability, making all the civilian council pass out and bringing the shinobi to their knees. Outside the Tower the same thing could be observed throughout most of the village, along with a good number of heart attacks. "I'm not going to kill you." He said, still facing the now unconscious pink haired banshee. He released the KI. "I just want to talk without being interrupted."
Naruto turned back and looked from one adviser, to the other, and back again. He decided to draw the moment out a bit.
"So." He drawled out. "You were saying something about duties? Am I to assume this has to do with the war against Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa, and the fact that, after my banishment, most of your political alliances were cancelled?"
Homura scowled, but Koharu took on a kind façade as she replied. "Hai, Naruto-kun Konoha is in need of your help. "
Tsunade piped up with her two yen. "Look at it this way gaki, it's the first step to becoming Hokage." She looked like she expected the short blond knucklehead of ten years past to spring out and scream about how he'd be the best Hokage ever, dattebayo!
Kushina tried to seal the deal. "Besides Naru-kun it's time you got your inheritance and took your father's legacy." She obviously thought he would jump up and start pleading her to tell who his father was.
Naruto just looked at them and sighed.
"You know I had intended to drag this out so I could crush your hopes after. But you're all so dense that I'm just gonna get this over with." He completely ignored the frowns and scowls. What really irked him was that he knew why they acted so dense. In his youth he had forgiven and forgiven and forgiven to such a point that even people he barely knew couldn't seem to contemplate a situation where he wouldn't bend over backwards to please the people of Konoha.
"So let's get down to business. Koharu, I no longer have the need or desire to protect Konoha. Tsunade, from the previous statement even you should be able to deduce that I no longer want to be Hokage. Kushina, I have long since known who my father is. I am well aware that you and your daughter have tried, and failed, to gain access to the Namikaze property and that the security seals have rejected you because neither of you is the heir. Not that it would have done you any good since I emptied the place of all heirlooms, valuables and scrolls years ago."
The whole situation was really starting to get on his nerves now and he just wanted to get things over with. Reaching into his breast pocket he pulled out a small scroll and tossed it to Tsunade. She unrolled it and started reading. Everyone's attention was on her as her eyes slowly slid down the page. Just as she reached the bottom her eyes widened in horror…
…And her world went black.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In a dark room four figures sit at a small oval table. Three of them sit at one end, closer to each other but still keeping a comfortable distance. The left one was distinctly female with long hair, the dark outline showing generous curves. The middle one was short his outline giving the impression of a stocky older man. The right one was tall and large with broad muscles.
This time the lamp was near the three figures, but still kept their faces out of sight.
The fourth figure pulled a scroll out of his breast pocket and threw it down the table. The middle figure caught it and, after a moment's inspection, unrolled, and channeled some chakra into it.
With a series of pops and a large puff of smoke a line of heads appeared on the table. The figures examine the heads for a few minutes then silently three scrolls, these ones as tall as a man, are slid down the table.
"May we ask how you were able to accomplish the mission so fast and with so little…collateral damage?" A soft feminine voice asks.
The last figure tilts his head, and then shrugs. "They invited me in…pretty much did all the work for me."
He stands, collects the scrolls and walks out of the room. He doesn't check the contents; they know the consequences of swindling him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Naruto placed the three scrolls in the slots he had prepared for them. It was a nice cabinet made from exotic wood with five lockable doors, each labeled with a different symbol: Leaf; Sand; Rock; Mist; and Cloud. It was surrounded by heaps of precious metals, beautiful weapons, jewels, coins and notes many other treasures.
On a wall was a series of unrolled scroll, pinned up like posters. They were mission scrolls for his most memorable missions.

Naruto felt a pair of arms wrap around him and smiled.
All in all things had worked out nicely.
_This was a quicky and in some parts the quality is a bit off. I mostly wrote it as a rant, I just caught up on recent cannon chapters and I'm really getting fed up with Naruto's attitude. Honestly I've lost all hope that he'll grow a pair of balls and do something other than preach, whine and eat ramen. Has he even made his first kill yet? OKAY... I'm getting worked up again. Ciao!
