The starry sky overhead sparkled with beauty, while underneath its majesty the Uzumaki couple was engaged in conversation with the Taki representative outside. They verified the doc.u.ments and all the details, after which the couple was led inside the hidden village.

The duo was impressed at how Taki had camouflaged its territory and used everything at their disposal to hide from the outside world like Shinobi did in the old times. Even believed it would be hard to fight these people within their territory if they were all just mortals but reality was different and Taki was considered weak.

They looked at the city that came into being in their sight after going through the waterfall, the people seemed to be living in a happy environment and no signs of anxiety could be felt about the incoming threat on their doorsteps. That meant the populace hadn't been informed about it or they had everything set.

'Did they accept Iwa's offer?' was the thought on the couples mind and they were always ready for conflict

The duo was on guard even if they didn't consider the people of Taki as a threat while walking to the office of the leader; Kushina sensed something with high chakra and looked to the side which had her looking at a green haired girl who was watching them cautiously from afar. Kushina realized that the girl was the Jinchuuriki of Taki as understood from the amount of chakra and the existence of two types of chakra within one body. She informed Minato of the girl who also observed her carefully but decided to ignore the issue for now, as they were at the entrance of the office.

They entered the office with permission and came face to face with a well built man who looked really suspicious in his style of clothing but he was well deserving of his fame, as they could feel the power within and understood he could be a threat.

Kakuzu the long lived leader of Taki and one of the immortal beings of Gaia looked up from his work at the visitors whom he had been waiting for. He was flattered that the Hokage didn't send some no-name Jounin for this deal, as that would have made it really hard for him to follow through as it would bring his people's reputation down in the mud.

He observed the visitors carefully, filing all the details and remembering all the information he had on the Uzumaki couple along with how much they were worth. Not so surprisingly the worth of these two people was more than his territory and they were worthy of his attention, he had all the information about the conflict and his choices so he wanted to see what they could offer him.

First he stood up and greeted them, "Welcome, it is a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to be in the presence of the yellow flash and the Infinite chains. I have been waiting for your arrival and wanted to get this over with, so please take a seat."

All the occupants of the room took seat, with the couple thanking Kakuzu for his acceptance of the meeting. The couple did not underestimate the intelligence of the being sitting in front of them so, Minato went to the point, "We all know what the stakes are and it would be just a charade to bring to the table information everyone is aware of. Therefore, we will just mention the offer we have and that is Konoha is willing to let Taki integrate as part of its territory while its citizen get the same treatment as our own and finally the Hokage would like to recruit you as a financial advisor. These are the offer along with conditions you have to comply, if you have any questions you may ask."

Kakuzu wasn't offended with the direct manner as going in circles would have offended him and make him think that the opposite party believed he was incompetent leader or had low intelligence. The offer was what he had expected but the final part was something really surprising, he didn't think Tobirama would be so interested in him. "What about the Jinchuuriki, how are you going deal with her?'

Kushina replied in a swift manner, "You don't worry about her, as Konoha doesn't deal any differently with the vessels as for the final decision would be done in Konoha at later time when she has been delivered to the Hokage."

Kakuzu was assured of his girl's safety as he knew the Kyuubi vessel was treated well in Konoha and believed the Hokage wouldn't do anything immoral. His little apprentice who was the focus of his life other than money and duty, the sad little thing had lost her parent and had been the most compatible with the seven tails. He had taken shine to her when she had demonstrated her strong personality and it was his duty to train the vessels to protect the village.

But unlike the previous vessels the girl had wormed her way into his hearts, making him worry about her and take special care for her. As Fuu's safety was insured he accepted the offer but wanted the couple to talk with her and stay in the village for some days. The couple complied with the request and Kakuzu had Fuu show herself, as she had been hiding outside his office's window.

The Uzumaki couple had already expected it to be the girl, so no surprise was shown but the girl was looking at them with admiration like she was seeing celebrities. Fuu who was 13 years old this year and she looked like an active child, even though she looked really harmless they knew that she was very dangerous. Even then they were happy to see a child act like this with excitement which reminded them of Naruto who reacted so differently to everything, the couple signed for Fuu in her notebook where she collected the signatures of well known fighters.

Kushina and Minato looked at the girl with guilt, when they realized who she was going to end up with. Minato turned to Kakuzu and said with a quiet voice, "We had like to test her strength, as she is most likely to end up with Mito Uzumaki and she is well known for her power and personality."

Kakuzu became really happy at that kind of possibility but the feeling he got from the couple made him think that the woman must be really harsh to make them feel like this, but he didn't mind as she would be the best teacher Fuu could ever have. He informed Fuu of what is going to take place and she should extreme excitement at the opportunity, she rushed outside of the office towards the training area followed by the a.d.u.l.ts.

After Minato had tested out her capabilities he was very satisfied, as he believed she could now be friends with Naruto and not have him harm her. She would be worthy in his eyes and looking at the cheerful lad, the couple hoped their child would return to his cheerful state instead of the monochrome he had become.

They gave their scores for her shown skills and praised her efforts while encouraging her to work hard to improve as she would be trained by the one and only Mito Uzumaki. Kakuzu invited them to live at his place which they accepted and trained Fuu while they were staying and teleported with her and Kakuzu on the third day to meet with the Hokage.

------------------------------------------

While the Uzumaki couple left in a happy state one man was not very happy at the situation. He was the ambassador to Taki for the negotiations, Diedara.

Diedara was the leader of the Aerial bombardment squad but somehow had been sent on this mission because of his fame and power.

"F.u.c.k that ugly bastard, I will show them true power of art for saying no." Diedara was really angry at failing so easily and from the fact that the Uzumaki couple hadn't been sent outside; he concluded that it was done deal

'Let them come out and I will send them packing.' Diedara planned as he spread nano sized bombs into the environment, he wasn't sure where the village was but it didn't matter with his range

"Diedara, retreat. You can't match them."

Diedara heard the voice and felt a chill down his spine as he heard the voice of the Merchant of Death, elite of the Raikage.

"Yes" He replied and flew back to report what had taken place

The destruction might have stopped but it was just postponed to a later date as the war had gained more fuel.

------------------------------------

While this was happening, in the outskirts of the Empire a city was visited by an unusual visitor. He wore a black robe with red patterns and a staff with rings.

His face was that of a young man in his twenties and beside him were two little girls of the age of 13. The cities had been informed to increase their security and send signal back to HQ once a new face appeared so the guards sent the picture of the trio.

"State your name and purpose"

"Hidan and I am the emissary of my Lord. I wish to show the poor people the way to enlightenment." Hidan replied with a smile that looked harmless but his eyes showed his insanity

The guards didn't find any charges against him nor did their equipment pick up strong signal from the man or the girls so they allowed him to enter as Tobirama didn't stop such people unless they made trouble like the Jashinist or the Human movement or the Chakra Supremacy.

"Master, do you think they will join our cause?" The girl with orange hair asked as she enjoyed the sight

She wore a similar robe while having guns and daggers on her back.

"I don't know but we will try to get these heathens on the right path or sacrifice them to our Lord. Today just enjoy the sights, girls. I will handle it alone." Hidan said as he looked at his assistants, Nami and Nojiko

"Yes, Father" Nami and Nojiko replied with a smile as they hugged him tight and left to explore the city

'I never thought I will be a father, wonder if this place got some real f.u.c.k.i.n.g food. Last place was true shit.' Hidan thought as he moved towards the smell of food

Somebody needed to be enlightened and empty their pockets in the name of the Lord.

--------------------------------------

Naruto was in a good mood after his meeting with Beirut and the fact that his mission was just doing what he already intended to do.

'We got real good chemistry, Gaia. If you were a woman, I would have taken you there.' Naruto smiled as he walked the road to the academy of elites while everyone shook in their boots and got out of his way

"Chill, dudes and dudettes. I am not going to bite." Naruto said to help them calm down but it made it worse as they ran for their lives, the monster had gone crazy

Naruto shook his head at the scene and moved on; people like those didn't need to attend such a place.

"Menma" Naruto heard the voice of a girl, he knew very well as they had shared some very intimate times

He turned around to find Ino glued to his body as she had jumped him.

"I missed you so much. Why didn't you take me with you?" Ino snuggled into his c.h.e.s.t for a minute, enjoying his warmth when she suddenly pushed him away

"Who are you?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, Menma is my little brother." Naruto replied with amused expression as he had his hand in his pocket

Ino looked at him cautiously while her anger was rearing its ugly face, "How dare you use my Menma's face?"

Ino snapped as she attacked him with a mind crush but Naruto stood their casually.

"Is that it? It was good, a lot better than her but nothing much to me. I am stronger than your Menma so don't try that again." Naruto said as he walked closer, with slow steps and Ino found herself glued to the ground

"Also, I don't like your attitude. Don't attack people without reason." Naruto whispered into her ears making her go red and picked her up, put her on his shoulder

'What are you doing?'

"Something you need." Naruto said as he slapped her a.s.s hard causing her to scream in pain and embarrassment

The people that watched thought it was Menma doing it, assuming that he went crazy and decided on giving his girl a different kind of punishment.

This repeated for ten times before he decided to stop.

"What are you doing, Menma? Doing that kind of thing in public, have you no shame."

Naruto looked at the blonde girl that gave of the same feeling as Tsunade and somehow similar to him.

He dropped Ino onto her feet and patted her back, "I hope you learnt your lesson, next time don't hurt any innocents or else I pop your head like a balloon."

Ino felt her body shiver at his voice, it was so similar to Menma that she felt her body heat up.

'NO!' Ino ran away in shame as her body reacted to Naruto

"I was just punishing a bad girl, Kusano. Do you want to try?" Naruto replied as he ignored Ino for now, she was good looking but needed two or three years to become worth his time

"You, you, fiend" Kusano stuttered as she heard his words and felt his hands on her shoulder

"I am Naruto not Menma so let's be friends, Kusano." Naruto chuckled and dragged the poor girl with him as he wanted to know about Tsunade before going to meet her later

I like it when people write their opinions even when its negative but please show a bit of maturity by actually writing a proper paragraph with a reason. Writing trash and shit by the end of the last chapters show that your mindset and the fact that you must not have read more the first chapter and skipped to the last to just comment such a thing as i can't fathom anyone reading a terrible story till the last chapter to just comment shit and trash.
