Black Sunset

Chapter 23

-Wave Country-

Shikamaru sits with his eyes closed and tears running down his face, his form slightly gaunt from his imprisonment.

"Did he suffer" shikamaru asks. Naruto sits with his legs crossed and his arm folded, "Kakashi drove his Chidori through his chest" he says and touches his chest, "It's not pleasant" he adds.

"Damn you Naruto.. My dad could've been redeemed" shikamaru says. Naruto uncrosses his legs with a sigh, "Your father was neutral yes but he chose to ignore my father's wishes.. My parents had embedded their chakra into the seal.. I learned much" he says and looks shikamaru in the eye.

"My Father saved them many times during the war but when it came to honoring his dying wish.. He like a great many of Konoha decided to not honor the wishes of the dead.. They revere my father but Why bother honoring the wishes of the dead" naruto adds. Shikamaru stays silent for few minutes, "You said no one is innocent in Konoha but what about newborns or children wholly Ignorant of things.. You would really end their lives to satisfy your revenge on Konoha" he says and looks naruto in the mismatched eyes.

"You kill them and you're No Different than Konoha" shikamaru adds.

"Naruto-kun is Nothing like Konoha" hinata says, walking up. Naruto kisses her hand as she takes a seat in his lap, "We'll save the truly innocent" hinata says.

"What about Choji or Tenten.. Konohamaru.. He was your Kohai" shikamaru says. Naruto tilts his head with a faraway look in his face, "Yes Konohamaru was my Kohai but he chose to betray me.. He let Asuma and the Sarutobi get into his head.. Danzo used his Propaganda to poison good people but I will purge the Poison from Root to Stem.. I will not leave one alive.. If even one escapes that poison will spread and continue to poison good people" he says. Hinata gets off his lap as naruto rises to his feet, "As for the other Rookies.. We'll see if they step up or stand aside and can be cured of that poison" he says, as they leave a quiet shikamaru. Hinata and naruto return to the main compound and have dinner with his mates, before they cornered him in his bedroom and took advantage of him.

-Nightfall-

Naruto lays on his custom made bed to fit all his mates comfortably, his mismatched eyes on the ceiling. Tsunade was on the left side of his chest and hinata on his right, anko was laying on his lower half. Shizune, itachi and sakura were cuddled up with mabui and mei next to tsunade. Kurotsuchi had returned to iwa to set thing up to convince kitsuchi to meet him and discuss the biju. Naruto drifts off to sleep and dreams of the future with a score of children to spoil and love. The new kyubi saw several children with features of his mates. However naruto's eyes snap open with a furrowed brow, causing tsunade to wake up.

"What's wrong Naruto" tsunade says. Naruto slowly moves hinata off of him with narrowed eyes, "Get everyone up" he says, climbing over anko. Naruto makes to his bathroom and cleans himself up a bit, "An interesting turn of events" he thought. Naruto returns to his bedroom and everyone was up in various states of undress, except anko who was completely naked.

"What's wrong Naruto-kun" hinata asks. Naruto scratches his behind his ear, "Someone contacted Madam Yumi" he says.

"For what" anko comments. Naruto sighs and rubs his head, "The Fire Daimyo's daughter apparently.. She's being in Exile and now wants the throne" he explains. The room went quiet for a few minutes, "Could it be a trap.. The Daimyo must know you're out in the open now" mabui says.
