Uchiha Change

Chapter 34- Three Months Later

Both Naruto and Natsumi were making sure they had everything they needed. Kushina was helping Natsumi, since she didn’t trust Jiraiya. She was also telling Naruto to watch him and to make sure that he didn’t do anything to her precious sister.

“Kushina… if did anything and I meant anything to Natsumi, that wasn’t part of her training, then he won’t see the next sun raise or set,” Naruto told her. Kushina could only smile at him and she hugged his neck.

“I’m just worried,” Kushina told him. “And yes, I’m worried about you as well. You just don’t have anyone after you.”

“I know.”

“I’ll be fine Kushina,” Natsumi said while putting her scrolls in her bag. Kushina told her to put things in the same scroll, so she could find it later. “Plus like you said, Naruto is strong, so he’ll be able to protect me.”

“Don’t forget my student,” Hiruzen said making all three of them jump out of their skin. He could only smile at their faces, he didn’t mean to surprise him.

“That’s the person Naruto has to protect Natsumi from,” Kushina said while huffing. “I don’t trust that white haired toad… Naruto, make sure he trains her and if he doesn’t, then you do it.”

“Yes. Ma’am.”

Hiruzen only smiled at the three of them. Kushina and Sasuke would be staying with Tsunade, she didn’t care that they were Uchiha, she just wanted to make sure Kushina was safe and the raven haired girl had to look after Sasuke.

“We have to go to the gate!” Natsumi shouted while jumping up and down.

“Hold on Natsumi, I have something for you,” Hiruzen said while handing the girl a scroll. Natsumi smiled and was about to open it, when, “Natsumi, don’t open it yet, but I want you to give these to Jiraiya once you leave the village, in fact give it to him tomorrow.”

“Of course Grandfather.”

“We should be going to the gate,” Kushina said while Natsumi walked out of the room. She looked at Hiruzen and gave him a knowing smile, but he just laughed and walked after the happy girl. Naruto just rolled his eyes and walked after them.

“Hey brats,” Zabuza said while looking at his students. When the fat white man asked to train both Naruto and Natsumi for three years, he almost killed the man, but when he explained why he understood. “If the white bastard does anything I’ll cut his head off faster than you can say ‘toad’, okay Naruto, Natsumi.”

“Sensei, we’re not going to be gone forever,” Natsumi said with a smile on her face. “We’ll see you in three to four years. I think white toad’s going to be threatened a lot. There’s you, Haku, Naruto, Kushina, Grandfather and Tsunade!”

“I’ll look after her,” Jiraiya said while he listened to Natsumi’s list. He was happy that she had friends, but why did he have to have five people threatening him. Natsumi was his goddaughter! Why would he let someone harm her? “Don’t worry about that!”

“Now am worried,” Kushina said while pulling Natsumi into a hug and glaring at Jiraiya. “You let anyone hurt her, or let Itachi touch on hair on her head. And I’ll be your worst nightmare, I’ll drag you soul into my Miranda and when I’m done, I’m sure Naruto would do the same.”

“Then afterwards, both Haku and I will cut his head off,” Zabuza said while making sure his sword was seen. “Isn’t that Haku?”

“His death will be slow and painful,” Haku said a grin on her face, one that offered pain and suffering. “It’ll be fine being known as the one who killed one of the three nin of Konah.”

“I don’t think Tsunade would allow that,” Jiraiya said as said female just looked at him and smiled, crushing the stone she was holding.

“Think again, in fact I’ll help,” Tsunade said. After hearing their threats the group said goodbye and went on their way.

Kushina could only smile as they left. She would also need to train, no one was going to hurt her little sister. Not with her or Naruto in the area, but she wasn’t allowed to slack off, just because Natsumi thought she was ‘strong’.

“Kushina, you’re going to be Team Eleven’s Medic,” Tsunade told her while Kushina only nodded a small smile on her face. “Both you and Sakura will be trained by me personality. If Sakura can’t keep up to you, well I’ll have to give her to the hospital.”

“Just sign her up for the hospital then,” Kushina told her. Dead weight hadn’t improved since Sasuke was bitten, but when she learned that Sasuke would leave her, she started to train. Kushina still thought she was dead weight and would continue doing so, until Sakura proved her wrong.

“These three years are going to be something?” Tsunade asked looking at Kushina. A smile on the girl’s face. Both Zabuza and Haku had gone home. Zabuza was now part of the Yuki clan, so both he and Haku had moved into their own compound, one that was right across from the Uzumaki compound.

Kushina just smiled as the air played with her hair. “Of course it is. When Natsumi comes back, she’ll make it to Jonin no problem.”
