Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll just be seeing some reactions to Team Sevens mission to Taki, along with taking a look at some other factions as well. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

"And that's what happened, Hokage-sama." Kakashi said, having finished recounting everything that happened, on their mission.

From meeting Minnie, to arriving in Taki, the Missing-Nin attacking, Fū being rejected by the villagers, leading Naruto and Mandy offering her a place in Konoha, with Mandy having verbally torn the Taki villagers apart, soon after.

The Hokage could only rub his temples to ease his growing headache, as Team Seven, Minnie, and Fū stood in front of him.

'Is it too much to ask, for them to go on one C-Rank Mission, that's completed without any problems, or complications?' Sarutobi thought, unknowingly mirroring Kakashi's own thoughts, while wondering how it seems Team Seven kept attracting trouble, while on missions.

He's honestly tempted to give them a higher ranked mission, just to see if they can do it, without any more problems happening.

"Right. Well Minnie and Fū, I have no problem with you both joining Konoha. But I will have to ask that you meet with the T&I Department, for security reasons." Hiruzen said, upon seeing how Minnie and Mandy were similar in appearance, he came to the same conclusion as Kakashi, that she might have been related to Mandy and Naruto, from their father's side.

As for Fū, he could understand, why Naruto and Mandy extended the offer, for her to join them. She is still a Jinchūriki, that left her village, and he had to make sure, she wouldn't leave Konoha as well. If she suddenly got a better offer, from an enemy village.

"That's fine, Hokage-sama." Minnie replied, with Fū nodding in agreement.

"I understand, sir." Said Fū.

Naruto and Mandy were fine with this, as it'd just give them plenty of time to ensure that Minnie passes any tests, or questions, they'll have, with flying colors. Given there's a chance a Yamanaka would search her memories, to make sure she wasn't a spy or a sleeper agent. And they didn't want them finding out, who Minnie really was.

"Very good. Team Seven, you're dismissed until further notice." Sarutobi said, while mentally swearing, that he'll triple check the mission, and where it came from, the next time he sends them on a mission, to make sure it goes off, without any problems.

'Oh, thank Kami.' Kakashi thought, relieved to be dismissed, as he Shunshined away, wanting to take some time to relax, away from all the craziness, his team seems to attract.

Meanwhile, the three Genin, plus Minnie and Fū, exited the Hokage's Office, before exiting the tower, as well.

Once outside, they were greeted by Ino, who smiled at Sakura.

"Hey Sakura, I missed you." Ino said, while walking up, and kissing her on the cheek

'Huh, I guess the rumors were true.' Mandy thought, while raising a brow at seeing that Sakura and Ino, did indeed have feelings for each other, and were dating, as well.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Ino, upon seeing the exasperated expression on her girlfriend's face, while Sakura shook her head.

"Just…thinking that my team is a magnet for trouble, with everything that's happened, whenever we have a mission, outside the village. First, we encounter a green Baku, that never seems to stop talking. Which Mandy decided to bring back, with her, and I'm thankful, that I haven't seen it around, yet. Then, we escort a village leader home, only to have to fight bandits, attacking a village. Then, we had to deal with Missing-Nin, and Mandy just…being Mandy." Said Sakura, while groaning, as she held her face in her hands, as she wished that they could just have one, easy and simple mission.

"Oh…wow." Ino said, with wide eyes, before rubbing Sakura's back.

"Well, since you're back, how about we go do something, just you and me." Offered Ino, while smiling at the pinkette, which Sakura returning.

"I'd like that, I'd really like that." Sakura replied, liking the idea of getting some rest and relaxation, with it being even better, with Ino.

Watching their teammate leave with her girlfriend, Naruto and Mandy traded a glance, before shrugging, as they headed home. With Minnie and Fū joining them, as they left the tower.

Though, suddenly, the four immediately jumped away from where they were standing, as several kunai stabbed into the ground, where they had once been standing. Looking to where they came from, the four saw a furious Shizune glaring at them.

"Where's Tsunade-sama?!" Shizune demanded, angry that they had kidnapped her teacher.

After being released by Mandy's Shadow Clone, Shizune had chased after them, to save Tsunade. Only to realize, she had no idea where the twins lived. The villagers and Ninja were no help either, as whenever Shizune asked anyone where they lived, everyone immediately went silent, and ran away, without answering her.

So, she had instead, been stuck searching the entire village, until she finally managed to find out, where they lived. Shizune had tried breaking into their home, to save Tsunade, only for it be sealed shut with seals. Leaving her stuck, waiting for them to show up. Now that they were finally back, Shizune intended to make them release Tsunade, from whatever it is, they're doing to her.

"Tsunade, Tsunade, Tsunade? You mean the old hag, hiding behind a Transformation, yeah, we have no idea, where she is." Naruto replied, which was technically true.

They knew what dimension Tsunade, was sent to, but not where the dimension, itself, is located. They also didn't care, where Tsunade is, either.

"Liar! You kidnapped her!" Shizune shouted, while glaring at them.

"Yeah, we did. Because she owes us, for the money she stole from our clan's treasury, and everything she pawned off, to fund her addictions. She should be thankful, we didn't just take her head, as repayment. Though, given what we did, that might have been a mercy." Stated Mandy, knowing death would be a release, from having to deal with Fred, for who knows how long.

Believing that meant, they were torturing Tsunade, Shizune ran towards them, to force them to tell her, where Tsunade was, and release her.

Seeing the Jōnin charging towards them, the four jumped away quickly, while Fū went through handsigns.

"Scale Powder!" Said Fū, opening her mouth, and unleashing a large amount of fine dust, with Naruto, Mandy, and Minnie recognizing the attack, and shielded their eyes.

Shizune wasn't so lucky, as the dust caught the sunlight, and emitted a bright light, that blinded her. Releasing a scream, at her eyes burning from the light, Shizune couldn't see, as Naruto appeared in front of her, before delivering an upward kick to her chin, sending her into the air. With Naruto following, by her kicking Shizune higher, and higher.

Once she was high enough, Naruto jumped back as Mandy appeared above Shizune, and slammed her fist straight into her face, sending the woman crashing back to the ground.

Groaning in pain, from the attacks, Shizune was about to get back up, only for Minnie to shoot several arrows, through her clothes, pinning her to the ground. The four, then stood around, and looked down at Shizune.

"You, must be a special kind of stupid, attacking us like that." Mandy stated, before looking up as several Ninja, Anbu, and civilians showed up, having seen and heard the commotion.

"What is going on here?" Demanded Neko, before flinching, when Mandy looked at her.

"Well, Naruto and I, along with our new friends, were about to go home. When Shizune, here, attacked us, and demanded we let Tsunade go. We currently have Tsunade in our custody, as she's paying for a debt, she owes us." Mandy explained, scowling, when she mentioned Tsunade and her debt, with everyone paling or gulping at this, knowing whatever debt the Senju owes the Uzumaki Twins, it's a very high one.

"I-I-I see, well that's alright. Though would you be able to…release Shizune. I swear, we'll make sure, she won't do this again!" Neko said, quickly, knowing Shizune doesn't know about the unspoken rule, to not mess with the twins, especially so brazenly, as well.

The gathered crowd all nodded rapidly in agreement, since they wouldn't wish Mandy's wrath, on anyone.

"Hmph, you just got lucky." Mandy said, while looking down at Shizune, before looking at the crowd.

"Fine, take her, and make sure she understands, how things work, here. And know, that if she ever tries anything against us, again. She'll get to join her master, in her suffering." Mandy said, with everyone cringing at that, knowing they'd have to make sure Shizune understood, she couldn't attack the twins, again.

Shizune was then picked up, and taken away by some of the Ninja, as the crowd dispersed.

With that, the four continued on their way, until they arrived at Naruto and Mandy's home, with Fū being surprised at the size of it. Though, she was only further surprised, when they walked inside, and were greeted by Grim.

"You're back, finally. I put dat scroll and water ting, in my trunk, along with everyting, else." Grim said, while knowing his trunk was actually safe here, without Billy around, to go through it.

It also helped, that he put new locks on the damn thing, that wouldn't open for anyone, stupid enough to ignore his warning, not to touch it.

"Good." Mandy replied, nodding, before looking at Fū, who was still looking at Grim, in shock.

"Sk-ske-skeleton, there's a talking skeleton! Why is there a talking skeleton?!" Fū shouted, shocked at seeing a talking skeleton.

"That's Grim, also known as the Grim Reaper, he's our friend/servant." Replied Naruto, with Fū paling at being in the presence of Death, itself.

"Ho-how did you manage to get the Gr-Grim R-Reaper, as your friend and servant?" Fū asked.

"Technically, he's my handler, so I don't destroy the multiverse. But originally, he was my friend/slave…" Mandy said, as she brought Fū into the loop on who she was, who Minnie was, and how she was reincarnated.

It shocked the Nanabi Jinchūriki to hear everything Mandy just said, part of her wanting to deny it was real. But given she was currently standing in the same room, with the Grim Reaper, Fū was inclined to believe them.

Though, while Fū was a little unnerved at hearing Mandy's plan for world domination, and eventual multiversal domination. She also accepted it, given Naruto, Mandy, and Minnie were her only friends, aside from Shibuki. Along with not really caring about the rest of the world, after her past treatment. Plus, she also found it hilarious, when Mandy told her, that they stole the Hero's Water, and Taki's Forbidden Scroll, as a last "Fuck You" to the villagers.

"By the way, that Shizune mentioned Tsunade, did she mean Tsunade Senju, the Slug Sannin?" Fū asked, curious if it was the same Tsunade.

"Yes. We are currently holding her captive, to pay off her debt, for all the money and relics she stole from the Uzumaki treasury, which is legally ours." Mandy replied.

"And did you actually torture her?" Questioned Fū.

"No, we only really knocked her out. She's fine, physically at least, I think." Naruto said, with a thoughtful look at the end, as he was sure that being forced to eat nothing, but frozen yogurt and nachos, wasn't good for anyone, especially with how long they were leaving her, with Fred.

"Mentally, on the other hand…" Mandy trailed off, with an evil smirk.

Though it did make the twins wonder, just how much Tsunade's mind has crumbled, after sending her and Fred to the Nacho and Frozen Yogurt Dimension.

*With Tsunade*

Tsunade could do nothing, but cry, as nacho cheese and frozen yogurt stained her face and clothes, having been forced fed by Fred, for the duration of their stay here. With the Baku in question, currently sitting in front of her, happily eating his own yogurt, and recounting one of his many adventures.

"So anyway, then some friends of mine and me, Fred Fredburger, teamed up together, to fight this evil bunny. Who turned out, to have also cut off my tusks, and it was really awesome. Yeah, we called ourselves Underfist, and my friends were a giant spider, a guy with a robot hand, a guy with one eye, a kid who was part mummy and part vampire. Oh! We also had to fight some candy monsters, and a witch, who was evil, but then wasn't evil, and then-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! JUST FUCKING STOP! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI, JUST STOP!" Tsunade screamed in agony, just begging for Fred to stop with the stories.

"Hm, you look sad. Oh, I know! You need more nachos; I'll go get you some!" Said Fred, before jumping up to get more nachos, as Tsunade screamed in horror, at the thought of eating more nachos.

'Please Kami, anyone, just have mercy, and end this torture, please!' Tsunade mentally pleaded, just wanting this horror to end.

*With Naruto and Mandy*

"Two more months?" Naruto asked.

"Two more months." Said Mandy, as the twins smirked at each other.

*Akatsuki Base*

Meanwhile, within a hidden cave, the Akatsuki members were meeting, through the use of the Magic Lantern Body Jutsu.

"Zetsu, report." Ordered Pein.

"It would seem that the Nanabi Jinchūriki has left Takigakure and joined the Kyūbi Jinchūriki Twins, in Konoha." Said Zetsu, with Pein frowning at this, as it created a problem, with three Jinchūriki in a single village.

It could potentially set the other villages on edge, and boost the security around their own Jinchūriki, in case any of them have any ideas of leaving, as well.

"Should Hiruko and I, attempt to capture the Jinchūriki, Leader?" Asked Orochimaru, as he and Hiruko were the ones chosen to capture Naruto and Mandy, given they were the most familiar with Konoha, and it's layout.

"No, for now, we will continue gathering funds, and monitoring the Jinchūriki, to see where they are, and what protection they'll have around them." Pein said, not wanting to risk Orochimaru and Hiruko failing, or worse being captured, or killed, as that would mean, when they did capture a Jinchūriki, the extraction would take even longer.

The best they could do, is remain hidden, and wait for the right opportunity.

*Unknown Location*

'Everything is coming along, nicely.' Thought Yashiro Uchiha, smirking, as he watched Sasuke's training, pleased at the brutality, the young teen was showing.

After he and his followers had abandoned Konoha, refusing to accept the treatment they've received from the villagers, after everything they've done, along with kidnapping Fugaku's son, it had been tough at first. Given they no longer had a village to protect them, and had to constantly be on the move, in order to not be found.

But now, after years of hiding and waiting, they had finally started getting ready for their revenge against Konoha, and their clansmen, who refused to take the chance to take over. And the best part, was that Sasuke would be the one to lead them to victory, and kill his traitorous father and brother, the only two, who really posed a threat to their plans.

Having conditioned the boy to hate Fugaku and Itachi. Making him believe, they didn't care about him, that they were glad he was gone, that he had been nothing, but a burden. It also helps, that Sasuke had a bit of an inferiority complex, from being in Itachi's Shadow. Now after years, they had managed to turn Sasuke into the perfect tool, to use against Konoha.

It was just a matter of time, now.

*Asgard*

"Alright, that is everything we need. Are you five ready?" Freya asked, while looking at the five Valkyrie, as they were getting ready to travel to the Elemental Nations, to meet their ruler's best friend, and her new brother.

"Yes, Lady Freya." Replied Rossweisse, Brynhildr, and the Valkyrie Trio, all of them eager for the chance to travel to the Elemental Nations, the former two especially glad, for the chance to take their minds off their respective problems.

"Good, then let us be off, then." Said Freya, as the goddess and Valkyrie travelled to the Bifrost, to be taken to the Elemental Nations.

Though, what none of them noticed, was that they were being followed. With the one following them, being a young girl with olive green eyes, blue hair tied into a braid, and thrown over her left shoulder. While wearing a blue dress, with a light blue collar.

This girl was Meili, a goddess and daughter of Odin.

Meili hadn't been present, when Billy sent a team to watch over his friend, Mandy, only having heard of it, after the team was made. Though, Meili also wanted to go, curious of who Mandy, was along with her new brother, as well. Thus, leading her to sneak away, so she could follow Freya, Rossweisse, Brynhildr, and the Valkyrie Trio, to the Elemental Nations.

It also helped, that her father was now busy, cleaning up after Fenrir. Now, she just had to hope, she could successfully leave, without being noticed.

Though what neither Meili nor the Valkyrie's noticed, was the small smirk on Freya's face.

'Oh Meili, you really should learn by now.' Freya thought, fully aware of the young goddess following them, and didn't plan to do anything to stop her, in joining their mission.

So, what did you think, good. Yeah, not much happened this chapter, but we did get a look at some interesting factions, namely the Akatsuki with Orochimaru and Hiruko being members, given Itachi never went rogue and joined, so Orochimaru is still in the Akatsuki. Along with the rogue Uchiha, seeing Sasuke has been conditioned to hate his father and brother. Finally we get a look at the Asgardian goddesses who will be watching over Naruto and Mandy, seeing they're also getting an unknown, at least to the Valkyries, stowaway in the form of Meili (who's appearance is based on her Re: Zero one). So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
