Can I Live with Him

*don't own Naruto or the lyrics to Pocket Full of Sunshine, just the OCs*

*in Konoha*

"There the teams, better land and hide that the fox can fly" Tsunade said the birds and kitsune landed in the covering of the trees before shrinking, riding on the shoulders of Sasuke, Tenten, Yipsu while Konoha held Kituna before they walked out of the forest and toward the group, hiding the happiness as they walked slowly, heads down slightly. They reached the gates when they were bombarded by the Rookie 9, the sensei, Anko, and the Konohamaru Corps who were asking all kinds of questions, one making them all quiet.

"Are they alive?" Konohamaru asked before going quiet as the group lowered their heads to hide the way their lips were twitching as the group gasped before going quiet, a sniff or two heard.

"I'm calling a meeting at my house so we can have privacy to mourn" they heard Sasuke say which seemed weird, making them look up at him to see his lips twitching. Thinking he was mocking them they were about to yell at him when they heard voices below them, making them look down.

"So this is Konoha, cool it's almost as big as home expect ours is more cheery" Yipsu and Konona said looking around the group before looking up when the sensed the stares. The group instantly noticed the fox in Konona's hands before they looked at their faces that had whisker marks along with blue and purples eyes, making the group gasp.

"What are your parents' names?" Kurenai asked full of hope as the children smiled and told them.

"Kurama and Kori Yoko"

Kurenai sighed, looking down with a sad look while Asuma was asking about the marks on their faces in which Tsunade spoke up as they were still in the open.

"Go to the compound, you can learn the reason there" she said as the group's eyes grew wide before they all rushed off toward the compound, the ones at the gate following behind along with Suna when Sasuke spied Hiashi and Hanabi returning to the Manor, making him smirk as he thought about the show that was going to take place soon.

'They're in for a big surprise if they find out Hinata and Neji are still alive' Sasuke thought as they neared the compound, Sasuke running forward to unlock his house so they wouldn't break down his door. Sasuke watched as they burst inside his house, turning and asking what was happening while he decided to torment them some more as the rest calmly walked in, taking off their shoes while Sasuke asked them if they wanted drinks.

"JUST TELL US!" they screamed, their patience running thin which they all could see as Sasuke said alright before he placed sound repression seals, that he learned from Naruto over the week, all around the living room before he turned toward the group who were nearly in his face.

"Hinata-"

"Neji-"

"My brother Itachi-"

"…are all alive" Tsunade said with a smile as the group gasped, Kurenai having tears run down her eyes along with Gai as he talked about his youthful student still living on in youthfulness.

"And Naruto niichan" Konohamaru asked, looking up at Jiraiya and Tsunade who smirked and nodded their heads.

"You know you can't kill the gaki that easily" they said before there was uproar of questions that came out in one big blur.

"When are they visiting?"

"Why did they leave?"

"Are coming back?"

"How long he been alive?"

And so on the questions came before Iruka calmed them all down and said they would all explain while Jiraiya smiled as he jumped on the wall of the compound to look at the town calmly going on with their lives. This sight made Jiraiya angry at the villagers who he remembered didn't even feel the least bit sorry about the Hyuuga disappearance and they called Naruto's death a blessing in disguise before he calmed down, thinking about what Sasuke told them.

'What are you planning Naruto?' Jiraiya thought before his attention was brought back to the real world when heard sounds in the distance, the villagers all looking toward the gate. Curious, Jiraiya jumped up on the roof of the Uchiha house to get a better height for viewing and took out his telescope to see what was happening before his eyes grew wide and he grinned, putting up his scope.

"So that is your plan, you gotten craftier in your years gaki" Jiraiya chuckled as he jumped down from the room and walked back in the house to tell the rest of the team.

"Tsunade I got news, there is a black 9 tailed kitsune coming straight this way"

"Nani, what you mean a black 9 tailed…"

Tsunade looked at Sasuke who was smirking as he said it was all part of the plan.

"It's time the village learned what really happened that night so long ago" he said before Tsunade chuckled, saying that was true before the sound of screaming caught their ears and they rushed out to see the village in a panic, Danzo outside, calling all available shinobi.

"I want all available shinobi to stand down and keep the villagers in the village as the order of the Hokage" Tsunade yelled, glaring at Danzo who stared at her asking what was she doing in which he saw the grin on the group's face. "It's time for the village to accept their fate, along with you soon" she told him as she said turned toward the group, saying she only wanted them to accompany her.

"I bet all of you wish Naruto was here now, he's the only one who could control this kitsune" Jiraiya said as Yamato came running to the Hokage, asking what was happening when a loud voice was heard from beyond the gate.

"WHERE IS MY MATE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY MATE?" a loud voice said which made Kakashi chuckle as he looked around at the village.

"It's sounds like an angry vixen is upon us and I think she's pregnant too" Kakashi said as he and the rest of the group took off running, smirks on their faces which Yamato noticed as he asked Kakashi what was going on.

"We'll explain along the way, for now just play along" Iruka said before he started talking about how a female kitsune that was pregnant are more aggressive than the males, especially if their mates have been killed and how they hold their pregnancy for up to eight years.

"Must be the reason she is looking for her mate, she's ready to give birth" Sakura said loudly, seeing some of the villagers pale which made her grin, thinking how they deserved this when they saw Izumo and Kotetsu running toward them from the Kage's office.

"Follow, Kakashi will explain" Tsunade said as she looked beside her to see Yipsu and Konona on the back of the fox, keeping up with them easily.

"I can't wait to see okaasan do the village"

"Wait, whose kids are these, they the fox?" Izumo and Kotetsu asked hysterically while Yamato stared at the whisker marks before Sasuke gave them all a rundown of what was to happen when they reached the gate, Hiashi already there with Hanabi whose eyes were wide.

"What's happening around here?" he asked the Hokage when the fox outside spoke up again.

"WHERE'S MY MATE?" the voice said sounding closer while a shadow fell on the gate and them.

"Quick Hiashi, tell me what you see" Tsunade said, hoping the byakugan wouldn't see Hinata inside but relaxed when he said a female nine tailed fox that was pregnant.

"It must be the mate of the Kyuubi that was sealed inside Naruto"

At this Hiashi paled as he told Hanabi to go home in which she ran, Konohamaru grinning at how scared she looked while the sensei asked what they were supposed to do when they heard an angry cry.

"MY MATE IS GONE. HIS SCENT HAS FADED FROM THIS AREA. YOU TOOK MY MATE I WILL TAKE YOUR VILLAGE AS PAYMENT!" they heard the vixen outside said before a large bellow of blue-black flames was seen over the village, the villagers crying out in terror before they stopped. Wondering what was going to happen now, the panic returned when they felt the ground shaking and something pull at the gates of the village that easily opened as Neji had snuck in the gate controlling box to let it open up. The village gasped when the gate opened to show a large black fox snarling at them, eyes spotting Hiashi almost instantly.

'Oh this make it more special' Hinata thought evilly as she roared at them, enjoying when Hiashi flew back, landing in a heap on the ground before he picked himself up, fear deep in his eyes. Neji was silently snickering as he wished he had a camera as Hinata continued on with her role of angry vixen mate.

"WHERE IS THE BLONDE ONE, THE ONE WHO HAS MY MATE SEALED INSIDE HIM?" the vixen growled, hearing the villagers whimper before she heard Tsunade yelling.

"Don't attack, you will only make her madder" she said as Danzo had gone against her wishes and had rounded up every available shinobi he could to throw weapons at the vixen who rolled her eyes, the fire underneath her fur melting the weapons instantly. Just to put on a show, Hinata swiped away more with the wind from her tails, watching as the group retreated as their attacks came back at them, before she growled as if they had angered her more, enjoying the way the villagers were crying.

"WHERE IS MY MATE, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MATE?"

Tsunade and the rest walked forward, some shivering as they didn't know who the vixen really was, Kotetsu and Izumo whimpering too as Tsunade walked closer and told her that her mate had died with the blonde. The group soon covered their ears as the vixen let out a cry of horror and rage.

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE VILLAGE, THE ONLY ONE THAT SAVED YOUR PATHETIC LIVES WAS THE BLONDE-HAIRED BOY" Hinata said, hearing the gasp from the villagers as Jiraiya asked why.

"HE HELD MY MATE, HE MADE A SACRIFICE FOR HIS VILLAGE SO I DECIDED TO SPAR YOUR LIVES AS LONG AS HE HAD LIVED" the vixen said, a tear escaping that turned into a pale blue flower before she crushed it with her paw, burning it with the flames of her coat, as she growled her eyes glowing.

"NOW THAT HE'S GONE I WILL AVENGE HIS LIFE AND THE BLONDE. I WILL SPAR HIS FRIENDS AND DESTROY EVERYTHING ELSE!"

"No please have mercy"

"We did nothing wrong"

Danzo appeared and spoke up, saying the one who killed the blonde was Sasuke and that she could have him as a sacrifice for the safety of the village. Danzo soon jumped back when a fireball was shot his way, looking at a pissed Uchiha while Tsunade glared at him, angry that he would do something like that.

'Now I see why Naruto didn't come back and the Hyuuga left when they could' they all thought angrily before they watched as Danzo and Hiashi, who happened to have agreed with Danzo, jumped back when the vixen tried to bite them, calling him weak for even suggesting that as he was the one who attacked her earlier.

"Wish she had bit them" Sasuke grumbled as the village continued to cry for mercy.

"MERCY, WHY WOULD I SHOW ALL OF YOU MERCY, DID YOU SHOW THE BLONDE MERCY?"

The villagers were screaming out cries of yes which made the group frown, thinking how they were quick to lie when they were trying to save their own skins.

"WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER LYING, I CAN SENSE THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS IN YOUR WORDS. YOU DIDN'T SHOW HIM MERCY AND NEITHER WILL I" the vixen said as they saw her jump back, opening her mouth as to shoot a giant fireball at them as the villagers screamed, thinking it was the end as the ball of fire got closer.

"NO" Tsunade cried before she calmed down when she heard a second familiar voice call out an attack.

"Water style: liquid bullet" and the village watched shock as a ball of water intercepted the ball of fire, leaving nothing but steam.

"Where did that come from?" the rookie 9 asked as they looked to the far side of the fox to see something that made them gasp.

"Is that…the 4th?" Ino gasped while Danzo and Hiashi paled before they ran off, Neji and Sasuke snorting as they ran before their attention was brought back to Kakashi who chuckled as he looked up.

"He really does look like his father, only with red hair" he said before the group stared at the person in the distance on top of Gamabunta's head, his sons Gamakichi and Gamatatsu sitting right next to him.

"That's Naruto?" they said loudly, making the Sennin tense but relax when Hinata's roar drowned out their words.

"Yes but keep quiet about it" Sasuke hissed as they watched as the black kitsune toward Naruto and the three frogs.

"WHO ARE YOU TO DARE MESS WITH MY DESTRUCTION OF THIS VILLAGE?"

'Enjoying this role just a bit much aren't you Hinata-tenshi' Naruto thought as he grinned before acting his part.

"My grandfather is the one who sealed your mate in the blonde boy named Naruto"

"DO YOU PLAN ON SEALING ME TOO" the vixen asked while the group wondered how Naruto was going to show how the 4th sealed the Kyuubi when their hearts nearly stopped.

"No, I'm not" they heard him say making the village gasp while the Sennin stared at Naruto like he was insane.

'Gaki, what are you doing?'

"WHY?"

"It's not my father's village fault for what have been done nor was it your mate, he was being controlled" Naruto said, hearing muttering from below as they learned about the new piece of information.

"CONTROL BY WHO?"

"It doesn't matter now this person is dead, killed by one of his clan members for the village and your mate. The same clan that turned their back on him for the leaf village, their home the village they swore to protect until they died."

"WHAT CLAN IS THIS AND WHO IS THE PERSON WHO HAS AVENGED MY MATE?"

"The person who controlled your mate was Madara, killed by Sasuke of the Uchiha clan" Naruto said loudly, hearing gasping all around as he looked down at Sasuke who had a surprised look on his face.

'It's the least I can do for you and Itachi. Bring honor back to your clan name' Naruto said as they was a loud commotion from among the people as they started to talk about Sasuke avenging Naruto vs. him killing the blonde.

"SILENCE" the vixen roared, causing the village to go quiet as the fox turned back to the village, calling for Sasuke who walked forward, knowing Hinata wouldn't hurt him as she picked him using the wind phoenix that she created with her tail that flew him up on top of the gate wall.

"SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO AVENGED MY MATE…YOU LOOK SO MUCH LIKE YOUR BROTHER"

"How do you know my brother?"

"HE SAVED MY CHILDREN FROM BEING KILLED IN EARLIER TIME, THEY ARE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE I CAN SMELL THEIR SCENT."

"Hi kaasan" Yipsu and Konona said waving while the village gasped, staring at the kids sitting on the back of the fox while Naruto mentally snickered from his spot, seeing the shock look on the group's faces.

"I see, well I'm not on good terms with my brother."

"OH AND WHY IS THAT?"

"He killed my clan and that is why I must kill him."

"NO, HE DID NOT. I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT TO VISIT MY MATE AND I SENSED THE NEGATIVE EMOTION AROUND THE COMPOUND, ONLY TWO SOULS INNOCENT. YOU AND YOUR BROTHER WERE UNAFFECTED BY MADARA'S POISONOUS TOUCH AS HE TRICKED YOUR CLAN TO TRY AND REBEL. I WAS AROUND WHEN ITACHI WAS ORDERED TO KILL HIS CLAN TO PROTECT HIS VILLAGE, IF YOU WANT TO TRUTH, SUMMON THE ONE NAMED DANZO" the vixen said looking at Tsunade who realized their plan as she yelled for someone to find and hold Danzo.

"He has fled" a masked Anbu said making Tsunade curse, muttering about how she should have had him held sooner.

"HE WILL BE FOUND, HE CAN'T HIDE FROM HIS PAST AS IT WILL BE HIS DOWNFALL" the vixen said as Sasuke jumped down to join the rest of the group, all staring up at her, trying to figure out the mystery behind the vixen.

"YOUR LIVES ARE ALL SPARED BUT THE REST OF THE VILLAGE WILL FRY…EXCEPT ICHIRAKU RAMEN WHICH I HEARD WAS MY MATE'S VESSEL FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT, THE ONLY PLACE THAT LET HIM EAT."

The group involuntarily snorted as they heard the vixen's words, knowing well that Naruto was really behind this.

'So like Naruto to mention ramen at a time like this' they all thought as the voice in the distance, which they swore was laughing, say he wouldn't allow it which earned him a growl from the kitsune as she turned back around.

"TRY AND STOP ME. YOU WILL DESTROYED LIKE THIS VILLAGE" the fox roared as she ran over to Naruto who was tell the toads to get ready. They decided to put on an epic battle as Naruto had Naruto used Gamakichi as a distraction while he used his wind style: toad gun with Gamatatsu while Gamabunta shot water style: liquid bullet at the vixen who counter-acted the attacks with fire or wind from her mouth or tails.

"She's strong, too much for us, it's up to you otou" Gamakichi and Gamatatsu said before they disappeared back to their home while the vixen roared, launching at the toad.

"NOW DIE!"

Gamabunta stopped the fox from biting him before he jumped back, waving his hands.

"Her fur is hot" Gamabunta grumbled while Naruto said, oops, forgetting to tell the toad boss about the henge.

"Yeah, sorry about that" Naruto said lowly before he yelled out there was only one way to end this after all. "It seems I have no choice but to seal you after all, I'm sorry for what happened to your mate but I can't let you destroy this village" Naruto yelled as he started to create some hand seals that many couldn't see.

"YOU WILL NOT SEAL ME" the kitsune roared as she ran to slice at Naruto and Gamabunta when the earth shook and water erupted from the ground, trapping the fox inside a sphere of water, steaming rising from her fur.

'Perfect timing Neji' Naruto thought as he called out his attack, looking behind him to see Itachi was ready.

"Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal"

"WHAT IS HE DOING?" Tsunade yelled as she and Jiraiya started to run only for the fox to stop them while Sasuke quickly went over to tell them it was a bluff.

"He's not really summoning him, Itachi is using Susanoo in its place, since nobody really knows what it looks like" Sasuke whispered to them as they watched as Susanoo formed, sword and shield in hand which made them relax, seeing what his plan was they had the sword "pierce" the fox while a Hinata clone met up with Naruto on the top of the toad's head.

"Kori, my wife, please bear-"

"My child"

"JIRAIYA"

"I was kidding"

"-the sacrifice of protecting this village from the vixen's rage" Naruto said quickly, biting his cheek when he heard Tsunade cry out the toad sage's name, making him wonder what he said.

"Yes, I will" the Hinata clone said as she dived off the toad's head and straight into the water, the steam covering the fact that she had disappeared into poofs of smoke.

"YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MATE PROTECT A VILLAGE…YOU HAVE NO LOYALTY TOO…YOU ARE TRULY A HE…RO" the village heard the fox say before it disappeared in a swoosh of flames, the water leaving too along with Gamabunta as Naruto landed in a tree, seeing his wife falling who was low on chakra. With a wink to the group who couldn't see it, he disappeared in a red flash making Jiraiya and Kakashi chuckle.

"He mastered his father's technique" they muttered as the group watched Naruto catch Hinata before flashing right in front of them, Neji riding in on his eagle Taiyo before jumping down beside Naruto with Hinata in his hands.

"Nice use of the Water Style: Gushing Water Imprisonment to stop the fox Mizuo" Naruto said as Neji nodded, saying thanks before asking how his sister was. "She fine just really tired from having the kitsune placed in her" he said when they heard cheering and looked up to see the village celebrating as they thanked them for what they did as they entered the village of their birth in 5 years.

"We are honored what you done" some of the villagers said while Naruto frowned, looking at the villagers.

"Well I'm not honored at any of you" Naruto said, making the village surprise.

"You didn't honor my grandfather's wishes you tormented the blonde who sacrificed his life for this village, just like my friend Itachi"

"Who are you?" Tsunade asked, a smile on her face as Naruto grinned, red hair blowing in the wind while his shades covered his red slit eyes.

"My name is Kurama Uzumaki, adopted son of Naruto Uzumaki, and grandson of Minato Namikaze" he said out loud, hearing the way the village gasp and started to talk among themselves while some said Nartuyo was dead.

"He's dead now, my friend Itachi saved him before he died but he was too close to death to have lived for more than a month, on his death bed his last wish was for us to protect the village from the fox's mate. We chose to honor his last wish, even though we knew of the way you treated him when he lived in this village."

"Why would you do that?" Jiraiya asked a grin on his face as he heard Naruto explain.

"The Kyuubi knew his mate would come to check on him when it was time for her to have her kits and he knew this would happen. Naruto asked me to relay a message from him and the Kyuubi, he is sorry that he attacked, he was against his will and that you should honor him and Naruto for what they done for the village, the sacrifice they made to stop it from being destroyed by his mate."

The village grew quiet at this in which they all nodded, saying the will.

"Also you should honor the Uchiha clan for saving the village too, especially Itachi" Neji added as they looked at him and Naruto who had serious looks on their faces as they said fine, the village shouting about throwing a festival.

"It's time we honored our fallen heroes and our new ones with a festival" someone shouted as the rest agreed before they ran off to prepare while Hinata groaned and looked up at Naruto, giving him a quick kiss that had Neji sighing.

"So where is Itachi?" Neji asked, looking back at the gate.

"I don't know, he said he had some loose ends to tie up but I'm sure he's around here somewhere" Naruto said as he carried Hinata with Neji beside him to the front of the Sennin who were grinning as they congratulated him on a job well done on the show. "Thanks" Naruto said as he watched as the Rookie 9, the Konohamaru Corps, and the sensei went around the Sennin to look at the trio who were smiling.

"It's so good to see you all again" Anko said with a grin as Naruto chuckled, saying it was good to see them too which made them smile.

"So where is niisan anyway?" Sasuke asked, ignoring the stares from the group as they wondered what happened to earn Sasuke's respect toward his brother.

"I don't know, I think he muttered about going to reclaim what is rightfully the Uchiha clan" Naruto said with a shrug as Hinata told him that he could put her down now in which he did after grumbling how he didn't mind.

"We have so much to talk about, for starters how you two finally meet up" Ino said while Sakura whispered she would tell her while Naruto's stomach growled, making him chuckle.

"Well to start off, is Ichiraku Ramen still open?"

This got them all start laughing, saying he was Naruto after all in which they nodded their heads.

"Yeah, Teuchi-san retired but he still works there, Ayame runs the place now" Iruka told his former student having eaten there at least once a week in memory of Naruto.

"Well then what are we waiting for, off to Ichiraku Ramen" Naruto said with a fist in the air, Yipsu and Konona mimicking him which made them laugh.

"Same old Naruto" they said until the group from Yu laughed, saying they were way wrong.

"That's not true, dobe, Neji, and Hinata have grown a lot stronger and have a few surprises too" Sasuke said as Taiyo and Asa flew onto Neji and Hinata's shoulder while the kids hopped off Kituna's back before she shrank and was picked up by Naruto where she also rested on his shoulder.

"Hello okaasan and otousan's friends" they said, making Ino say they were precious before their words hit the groups' minds.

"YOU HAD CHILDREN?" they asked looking at the whisker marks and eye color when they said no and they were adopted.

"Not yet but Hinata is having some along the way though" Naruto said as he rubbed Hinata's flat stomach while Ino said she wanted details in which Naruto said over ramen.

"Yay, ramen" the kids said making the group smile as they said to walk and talk, heading toward the ramen shop when they heard screaming.

"What was that?" they asked as they looked up to see a large black raven fly above clutching an armless an eyeless Danzo in its talons, Itachi riding on the back the big black bird.

"I see Itachi found Danzo but I wonder what happen to his arm and eye"

"We'll find out when he lands, you go to Ichiraku and we'll catch up later" Tsunade said as she and the sensei left for her office where they saw Itachi take Danzo while the old Konoha teams headed toward the ramen shop, Naruto walking at a fast pace.

"Slow down or you will give yourself away" Sakura hissed while Naruto sighed and did just that, muttering he was hungry.

"I haven't had Ichiraku Ramen in 5 years."

"Wait, you been gone for 8 year though."

"I was pretending to be 'Chibi-kun', Hinata's pet fox that her father didn't know about. She used to feed me ramen when I was in the village but still having Ichiraku ramen for the first time in 3 years than having to wait 5 more was torture" he explained while the group rolled their eyes at the drama that was Naruto.

"How ever did you survive?" Kiba said sarcastically, the Sand nin chuckling as Naruto said through determination.

"Also Kori-tenshi is an excellent cook I don't know what I would do without her cooking."

"Who's that?" the group asked confused as Naruto chuckled and pointed to Hinata, saying that was her new name.

"I went by Kurama Yoko that was the Kyuubi's name. I decided to take it as honor of him for what he did for me. Neji is Mizuo Shou…"

Naruto glanced at Tenten before he eye gleamed, his trickery side waking up.

"Tenten is soon to be Tenten Shou" Naruto said slyly before he dodged Neji's fist as he tried to hit him.

"You two are getting married?" Sakura gasped while Neji frowned, glaring at Naruto.

"No, not yet"

"Were you planning on it, 'Mizuo'?" Tenten asked having heard what he said which made Neji realize his slip, blushing as he tried to clean it up but couldn't.

"Let's just go get some ramen" he said, walking a bit faster, making them laugh as they continued on until they reached the shop, the kids bouncing up and down in excitement.

"Ramen!" they said as they rushed in, Naruto soon after them as they heard the trio ordering a large amount of food.

"How much can those children eat?"

"A lot, as much as Naruto when he was younger"

"Then we better go in before they eat all the food" Chouji said as the rest of the group entered to see Ayame staring at Naruto and the children with tears in her eyes.

"Is that you…Naruto" she whispered while Naruto grinned and looked around before turning back to her.

"Along as you don't tell anybody else Ayame, where the old man at"

"I'll get him" she said as she went in the back room and reappeared with Teuchi who asked what they wanted, seeing the large group.

"I think you're going to need to help Ayame fix a large order" Naruto said while Teuchi looked at him, asking who he was. "Here let me help you remember" Naruto said as he hair and eyes changed back to normal, taking off his shades to show him which made the old man chuckle.

"You're just like your father and your mother" he said as Naruto said thanks a grin on his face.

"Alright old man, help me remember the taste of your ramen, we will have three bowls of all you flavors" he said while Teuchi and Ayame smiled, saying coming right up.

"Let me help you with the food" Hinata said as she put her hair up and washed her hands, Ayame asking if she was sure. "Trust me, the way Naruto and the rest of them eat, you will need my help" she said as she headed toward the back for ingredients while the group laughed and sat down, asking all their life in Yu when they heard fast footsteps. They turned to see the Sennin, Anko, the sensei, and Itachi, all but the last with shock looks on their faces while Tsunade held an angry one.

"Everything okay" Sasuke asked confused as Tsunade nodded before looking at him.

"I will allow you help torture Danzo when you want" she said darkly as she sighed and sat down to eat with the rest of the group while Sasuke was asking what happened. Itachi sat next to Sasuke and explained the sharingan attacked to Danzo's arms and the one in his head.

"That explains why he was missing an arm and an eye" Sasuke muttered, furious at what Danzo did while Itachi said yes, a smirk on his face as he asked if he wanted to help torture him.

"I'm in"

Itachi chuckled as he ruffled Sasuke's hair, making him complain which made the group smiling at the brotherly love before they watched Hinata and Ayame come from the back, carrying several bowls of ramen at one which she placed down in front of them.

"How are you able to carry that many at one time?"

"With lots of practice" Hinata grinned as she went back and placed all the bowls down that Naruto and the rest had ordered before they dug in, talking and catching up, enjoying the time in the ramen shop.

"Nothing can ruin this perfect and youthful moment" Gai said until Neji looked at Hinata who he noticed hands were clenching a bowl tightly.

"Kori, you okay?" Neji asked, making the others look at her as she made eye contact with Neji who tensed before using his byakugan to confirm what made Hinata tense up. "Guys we got company" Neji said coldly as he turned back to his ramen while Hinata gave her back to the door, making the others look to see the reason for their reaction.

"Spoke too soon Gai" Asuma sighed as Hiashi and Hanabi entered the shop, the room growing colder which they seemed to ignore as they looked at Naruto and then at Tsunade.

"Yes, can I help you Hiashi" Tsunade said, trying to keep the coldness out of voice as she looked at Hiashi who said he wanted to see if the rumors were true.

"He truly does look like Naruto, are you sure that's not his son"

"We checked, they're not related" Tsunade said calmly, Shizune glancing at her as she heard the anger in her voice which she wondered about. Hiashi nodded and was about to leave when he saw the back of Neji's head and he tensed, glaring at him as he asked who was he.

"My name is Mizuo Shou" Neji said not turning around which made Hiashi's eyes narrow while Hanabi muttered he had a lot of nerve.

"Neji…where's Hinata?"

"That's not my name" Neji said not turning around while the rest of the group watched, Shizune piecing together the reason their behavior.

"You actually dared to come back here" Hanabi sneered, making Neji tense before he relaxed, seeing as his cover was blown.

"I have the right to come and visit" Neji said as he took a sip of tea that Hinata had placed in front of him.

"You're a missing nin-"

"No, Neji Hyuuga is a missing nin, I'm Mizuo Shou, I have no connection to the clan in this village"

"As long as you have the byakugan you are considered part of the Hyuuga clan and thus this village" Hiashi said eyes narrowing as Neji turned to look at him with a smirk as he took off his shades to show brown eyes.

"Well my eyes are not like yours so I don't have the byakugan and I'm not part of the Hyuuga clan"

"What kind of genjutsu is that?" Hanabi asked as she activated her byakugan to try and see through but couldn't.

"It's not"

"What happened to your curse seal?"

"What curse seal?"

"…you don't know where Hinata is, do you? Have you failed like your father?" Hiashi asked, knowing he struck a nerve when Mizuo stod up, glaring at him when he felt a slight breeze behind him, making him calm and sit back down, knowing Hinata was planning something.

"No, I have not failed and neither did my father also Hinata is well and happy away from here" Neji said calmly as he turned back around while Hiashi frowned.

"Neji, where is my daughter?" Hiashi asked when he heard a laugh coming from in front of him.

"Oh, now you claim me as a daughter" a voice said, making the group look at the person behind the counter, arms crossed over her chest as she frowned at Hiashi and Hanabi.

"Who are you?" Hiashi asked looking at his reflection in the shades of the kunoichi who he could sense rolled her eyes, frown deepening.

"Wow you're pathetic if you don't even recognize your own daughter"

Hanabi gasped while Hiashi eyes grew wide, say impossible.

"Oh you recognize Neji but not me, you're really pitiful otousan" Hinata scuffed, Kurenai eyes going wide while Anko snickered, saying damn straight

"You're not Hinata" Hanabi said, staring at the kunoichi who resembled he sister but gave off an aura of power which she didn't believe Hinata would ever give off.

"Then you just as blind as father Hanabi"

"Don't you talk down to me just because you grew up, you're still weak" Hanabi said angrily, not hearing the snicker coming from Sasuke who quickly took a sip of his tea, hiding the fact that his lips were twitching.

"Alright if you think I'm still weak, how about a challenge to see how much I truly changed" Hinata said sweetly, while Neji and Naruto exchanged looks across the table, shaking their heads.

'They're underestimating her it will be their down fall' the Yu group thought as Hiashi and Hanabi agreed turning toward the door.

"Meet us at the training ground behind the Manor" Hiashi said over his shoulder before he left with Hanabi while the group looked at a smirking Hinata.

"Are you sure I mean Hanabi has truly grown strong" Konohamaru said while Hinata snort and rolled her eyes.

"You don't think I have? What do you guys think, have I grown stronger?" Hinata asked looking at the group that went to Yu, the rest of the teams and sensei noticing the way their lips were twitching along with evil grins from Tsunade and Jiraiya as they said oh yeah.

"How much stronger has she gotten?" Kurenai asked curiously while Naruto chuckled looking at them.

"Remember the giant fox that was outside Konoha"

"Yeah?" they said not seeing the connection while the sensei eyes grew wide, looking at Hinata who grinned.

"Well, guess who was the fox with her dance of the kitsune" Neji said with a chuckle as the group's eyes grew wide at the realization as they looked at Hinata who waved.

"No way" the group said in disbelief.

"Yes way" the group said nodding their heads while Kurenai stared at Hinata, wondering when she gotten so strong.

"Yep, now you about to learn why I'm called 1 of the great Rīdā of Yu" Hinata said as they paid for their ramen and left the shop and head toward the Hyuuga Manor.

"Wait, let me make a quick trip to the store" Neji said suddenly running off to the nearest store where they watched him come back out with a camera a large smirk on her face.

"What's with the camera?"

"I just want to relive the day Hanabi had her ass handed to her" Neji said with a grin, making the group laugh while Konohamaru told him to make him a copy. The group continued down the road while the sensei hung back, Kurenai asking to talk to Kakashi.

"Has Hinata really grown that strong?" she asked while Kakashi looked at her, smiling as he said she had.

"She easily beat Sasuke in a full out spar" Itachi said, making them remember he was there too as Anko's eyes grew wide, muttering about wanting to see that battle while Kurenai looked at Hinata a smile on her face.

'She looks so much like her mother' Kurenai thought as they made it to the training grounds to see the council there, staring at Hinata and Neji with upset looks on their faces.

"Oh are they here to see me kick Hanabi's ass?" Hinata asked raising a brow, Neji laughing when the council started muttering to each other while Hiashi said no, a vein throbbing.

"We are here to make a deal, if Hanabi wins then you are to be sealed with the curse mark and Neji is to be sentenced to death" Hiashi said as Hanabi entered the ring, smirking at her sister who looked at Neji and said that sounded reasonable.

"However, when I win, you have to give up part of the clan of our choosing to live in Yu" Hinata said, a smirk on her face as she stood across from Hanabi while Hiashi talked with the council before they agreed to the terms. Hinata smirk grew as she saw the smug look on Hanabi's face.

"Oh sister, I'm going to enjoy wiping that smug look right off your face"

"Bring it on" Hanabi said as she got into a gentle fist stance, Hinata getting in the same stance only with her fans in her hands.

"What are you doing?" Hiashi asked while Hanabi laughed.

"Ha, do you think you can defeat me with such flimsy things?"

'Yes' the group thought, all remembering what those little flimsy things really were in Hinata's hands.

"Oh I know so in fact it will take me less than 5 seconds to defeat you" Hinata said as Hiashi started the match, waiting to see Hanabi win.

"1"

Hanabi go to strike, Hinata just stand there.

"2"

Hinata fueled chakra to fans as she dodged Hanabi' strike.

"3"

"Gentle style: dance of the tiger"

Hinata called forth her chakra tiger which roared and slammed into Hanabi knocking her out the ring and straight into Hiashi who went flying with his daughter in his arms, clearly knocked out.

"Aw, I didn't even get to dance" Hinata said in a pout like way while she smirked at hearing Konohamaru laughing his ass off at Hanabi getting beaten while Neji said she should have prolonged the battle. "If I did then I would have went back on my world in beating her in less than 5 seconds" Hinata said looking at Neji who had the camera recording, a smirk on his face, while the council were gasping and talking to each other, Hiashi having a surprised then angry look on his face.

"I see you have gotten stronger but you will go against me next" Hiashi said as he gently laid Hanabi down next to the council while Hinata walked back to the spar, gentling fanning herself with her fans.

"Fine by me"

"Hinata nee, embarrass him real good for the camera."

"Oh I plan to I'll even start off on my weakest dance, dance of the phoenix" Hinata said while Hiashi sighed, saying this would be over quickly.

"You're over-confident Hinata and that is why you will fail"

"I'm not over-confident otousan, I just know my limits, I know the ways of the gentle fist, the strengths, weaknesses, and ways to counter it too" Hinata said while Hiashi got into his gentle fist stance.

"I'd like to see you try" Hiashi said as the council started the match, Hiashi charging forward just as Hinata jumped back for room to move.

"Let the dancing begin" Hinata said, eyes glowing with mischief behind her shades as she started to dance, dodging Hiashi all the way, making Neji snicker.

"Gentle style: dance of air, land, and sea"

"What's that?" Kurenai asked Neji who said it was one of Hinata's 3-hit combos that she pulled out for strong opponents.

"Wind style: fire bird's song"

"She's uses her wind phoenix's song to throw her opponent off guard with a relaxing melody that keeps him from focusing and gathering his thoughts"

"Like sitting back and watching the clouds" Shikamaru said as Neji nodded and said exactly, all seeing the way the group was relaxed, enjoying the song.

"While the phoenix is singing, she pulls out her second phase of the dance."

"Water style: Rain Dance, earth style: Howling Bite"

"While her opponent is unable to focus they make an easy target for her earth wolf, normally she weakens the earth first as to create mud so that's why she's doing a rain dance before she uses her next attack" Neji explained as they watched clouds formed before a quick rain shower made the ground muddy which soon grew into a muddy wolf that let out a how before biting Hiashi, coating him in the mud before it hardened to trap him.

"Now for my favorite, water style: roaring water"

"Once Hinata has effectively made her opponent off-guard and caught in an earth barrier, she strikes with one of three attacks, in this case water" Neji explained as Hinata fans disappeared and they watched in shock and awe as the water tiger formed around her roaring.

"Consider this match over" Hinata said as she let out a roar from the tiger before she ran forward and slashed a water claw at Hiashi, destroying the barrier and knocking him all the way to the trees, the council dodging as not to be knocked down like pins. "Even when trapped you managed to put a quick barrier of chakra around you to cushion my attack, impressive otousan but I still expected more from you" Hinata said as she got rid of the water tiger, watching her father come back from the trees, growling while Hanabi woke up, shocked to see her father returning to the ring while Hinata was smiling.

"That's not an honorable fight, you will fight in the way of which you were born" Hiashi said, clothes dirty and wet from her attacks while Hinata sighed and said fine, putting her fans away as Hiashi returned to the ring.

"Fine you can have your 'honorable' spar if that makes you happy" Hinata said sarcastically as she and Hiashi got into a gentle fist stance, Hinata's stance seeming more loose than Hiashi's as he couldn't relax from being embarrassed by his oldest daughter.

"Hey Neji, Hinata still know how to use the gentle fist right?" Lee silently asked the Hyuuga who turned toward them a giant smirk on his face.

"Better than ever"

"What you mean?"

"I mean she came up with her own form of gentle fist, the twin lion fist and the gentle fist of the kitsune, I wonder which one she will use this time"

"What they look like?" Konohamaru asked curiously while Naruto winked and said they would have to wait and see as the spar started, Hinata using her light way to dodge all of Hiashi's attacks.

"See what happens when you become lazy, letting the side branch do all the work?" Hinata said with a smile as she noticed how Hiashi was falling for the battle, striking her without thinking while she read each of his movements to dodge effectively.

"That and you're really getting slow in your old age otousan, what a sorry father you are for letting yourself go like this"

"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP YOU WEAK LINK" Hiashi roared as he aimed for Hinata's heart, Kurenai crying out before they all gasped when Hinata grabbed Hiashi's hand with a black chakra clad hand.

"All my life that's what I was considered, weak, the runt of the family well let me tell you something otousan" Hinata growled, chakra emitting from her body that started to take shape into animal like features. "I'm no longer the old Hinata you knew, the one you controlled through fear, words, and harsh training, I'm Kori Yoko, born from the ashes I rose stronger, faster, wiser, because I'm a in control of my life and no one like you will tell me what to do anymore" Hinata said, her body coated in black chakra that took the form of a nine tailed black fox, making Hiashi's eyes go wide.

"You were the fox at the gate?" he cried uneasy as he saw Hinata smirk, the same way the fox did at him as she said yes.

"Have a taste of how strong I really gotten, gentle fist of the kitsune: 128 palms" Hinata roared as she sent Hiashi flying in the air with her chakra tails before she jumped up to, using gravity as she struck Hiashi's chakra points with pinpoint precision, having learned to memorize the chakra points of the body.

"2 palms, 4 palms, 8 palms, 16 palms, 32 palms, 64 palms, 128 palms" Hinata cried as she brought a clawed paw straight into Hiashi's stomach, sending in crashing into the earth, a crater from where he landed, knocked out cold.

"Go okaasan" Yipsu and Konona cheered, Hanabi starring at the children before looking at Hinata with wide eyes.

"Game, set, and match" Neji said, turning off his camcorder with a large grin on his face, saying this was going down as one of Hinata's best battles, as he made his way over to Hinata who had landed, looking at the council.

"I won so our deal still stands" Hinata said, looking at the council who nodded their heads saying she improved.

"Perhaps you are more suited for being heir if you wish we will forget about your 'vacation'-"

The council grew quiet when they saw the enraged look on Hinata's face while Hanabi hiccupped, trying to help her father out of the crater.

"Now that I prove my strength you pay attention to me and then even ask me to be heir, HELL NO" Hinata said angry at the shock of everybody, even Hanabi as Hinata whipped her hair around as she turned toward Neji a grin on her face.

"Neji, go tell ALL the side branch members to pack up, they're leaving with us where they will be treated like an equal"

"Uh, you, you can't do that" one of the Hyuuga council members spoke up before he cowered under the heated glare from Hinata and Neji.

"Oh really, she one fair and square and you're trying to deny her what was offered" Naruto said, he and Hinata wrapping in flames before they took the shape of two smaller but still menacing foxes while Neji brought out his kusarigama and wrapped it around the council.

"Do you really want to try us now?" Neji asked with a brow raised as the council growled for them to take them before Neji let go, the duo returning to normal.

"Thank you, come Neji" Hinata said as she left with Neji, Naruto turning to look at the rest of the group with their mouths hanging open.

"That's Hinata?" they all shrieked, starring at the back of the kunoichi who used to be so shy and innocent.

"You think that's scary, you should see her when she pulls out the last two dances" Naruto said with a snickered while Kurenai asked if it was really that powerful.

"Ask Sasuke, he went up against her"

The group looked at the Uchiha who was looking at Hinata, a grin on his face as he chuckled.

"All I can say is I won't be challenging Hinata any time soon unless I get some of her training up in Yu with niisan" Sasuke said looking at Itachi who chuckled and said sure.

"Really?" the group said eyes wide as he nodded before they returned to normal, Konohamaru asked what to do now when they all heard the festival starting.

"I don't know about you but I suggest we go enjoy the festival thrown for us before we head back" Naruto said as he watched Hinata and Neji return, smiles on their faces. They seemed surprised when they noticed the sad looks on the group faces, making them ask what was wrong.

"Can't you stay here in Konoha?" Konohamaru asked sadly while Naruto shook his head, saying he couldn't.

"I have a home and a life in Yu now but I promise I will visit constantly, I can't stay away from Ichiraku Ramen for long anymore" Naruto said with a grin, making them all laugh as they went to enjoy the festival with the Suna nin before they stated they had to go back to Suna.

"Until we meet again Naruto" Gaara said with a smile as Naruto grinned and said yeah, the kids getting one last rub of Gaara before they made their way back to Naruto and Hinata, a mischievous look on their faces as they waved by.

"Later tanuki-sama, congrats on the new child" they said making the group stop and ask what they meant when they noticed the way the kids had a foxlike grin on their faces as they seemed to look pass him. Gaara turned to see Matsuri blushing, saying she just found out.

"Aw, I'm going to be an aunt" Temari said happily while Shikamaru sighed, having decided to walk with them back to Suna, saying children could be troublesome at times which made Temari look at Shikamaru. "You know Hinata taught be other dances that aren't battle-related" she whispered in his ear, making him blush as he coughed and said maybe not so troublesome while Kankuro made gagging sounds before he was hit with a small fan.

"Where did you get that?"

"Hinata made it for me, I'm going to try and come up with a new dance, dance of the weasel"

"Well it sure beats being hit in the head with your giant fan" Kankuro muttered as he continued walking ahead his siblings following beside as they said bye while Naruto said it was also time for him to go.

"I'll miss you Naruto nii" Konohamaru said crying while Naruto smiled and said he would miss him too but they could visit anytime.

"We will" the group said before they heard footsteps and looked to see Tenten, her mom, and half the Hyuuga clan walking toward them, things already packed.

"Please be safe Tenten"

"I will kaasan" Tenten said as she gave a hug to her mother before moving over to Neji.

"I hope you bring me back some grandchildren"

"Kaa-san" Tenten said blushing while Tsunade chuckled.

"Looks like I'm going to be seeing all of you quite a lot over the year"

"Yeah" Hinata and Tenten said, laughing while Sasuke said later to Itachi. Itachi smiled and motion Sasuke forward, making him grin as he ran to him before Itachi poked him in the forehead, chuckling.

"Still the same ototou" Itachi said as Sasuke his forehead, a smile on his face as he said yeah.

"Come back with a girlfriend next time" Sasuke said making Itachi chuckle as he said he should do the same.

"Remember to visit" Konohamaru said waving as Naruto gave him a nice guy pose and said he would before Neji, Hinata, Itachi, and Naruto summoned many large birds and foxes to carry the rest of the group, their own personal summoning/pets growing as to carry them.

"What about the clan?" Tsunade said with a grin as Neji and Hinata exchanged a look before chuckling.

"Oh don't worry about them"

"Yeah we left them a note, saying how happy we are in Yu"

*Hyuuga Manor*

Hiashi had just woken up from the attack, surprised to see he was back in his office, lying on a futon in the corner. Hiashi clutched his head as he wobbly stood up and looked around, eyes falling on his desk where he saw a note.

"What's this?" he muttered in confusion as he stared down at parts of a song plus part of a message he knew was from Neji and Hinata. With a frown he started to read, getting angrier which each word.

There's a place that we go

That only few people know

Where the rivers flow

And we call it home

And there's nothing to hide

Because the darkness is light

And nobody cries

There's only butterflies

To come visit our clan and bring,

To live in the village of the hot spring

Life is grand and fun

When you spend it with the one";

Hiashi crumbled up the note in his hand as he rushed out of the Hyuuga Manor to go find the Hokage while Hanabi sat on the roof, waving off in the distance with a smile on her face.

'Until we meet again neechan'

"Hokage-sama, you need to arrest them, they're missing nin and thieves of the Hyuuga Manor-"

"No they're not Hiashi, they are not Hinata and Neji Hyuuga no more, they are Kori Yoko and Mizuo Shou, 2 of the 4 great leaders of Yu and you honored the deal when you agreed to it so they have stolen nothing" Tsunade said with a smirk while Hiashi growled and walked back to the Manor, clearly seeing he had been beaten in the foulest of ways, in his mind. Tsunade rolled her eyes as she turned and waved bye to the group.

"See Tsunade-sama, I told you I would keep him" Hinata said with a grin while Tsunade chuckled saying she did.

"I guess a visit from them wasn't so bad since it turned out better in the end" Neji said looking at Naruto who said yep.

"And I heard your midnight dip date with each other went well, I heard from Sakura and Lee" Naruto said which the duo blush and sigh, muttering about nosy friends.

"Now we live together, from different social classes and different lives as one group of the Yu family" Itachi said as he nodded to Sasuke before yelling it was time to go home, the birds and foxes heading back to the hot spring country while Tsunade and Jiraiya smiled, a tear running down their face.

"He's so much like his mother and father" Jiraiya said as Tsunade nodded, saying he was.

"I don't know about you but I'm already planning my next trip to the hot spring village, what you say baachan, can we go soon please" Konohamaru said with a big smile which made them laugh as Tsunade said yeah, also thinking about their next visit to the hot spring village.
