Spring Country

Chapter 4

So, I've got news. I'm sorry for all those you loved this story, but I've decided to let someone adopt it. I've just lost interest in it mostly because of the writer's block I kept getting. No fear though, @Emiko_Shizuka has adopted the story. Once again I'm sorry. 

Below is the little bit I wrote during the wait period.

Tsunade sighed as she rubbed her forehead with her palm. These damn council meeting were so annoying! On top of that, the scouting/retrieval mission that some for her shinobi went on had came back in the most humiliating way, about a week ago. They were returned in coffin boxes.

But they weren't dead.

It was a message that they could have returned dead, that it was in her right, the Daimyo's right, for them to be killed, but spared didn't. Though what they went through, almost all of them wished they were dead. They had reported to her that Naruto was living a peaceful life with one of Konoha's biggest traitor's, yet he wasn't really a traitor from the information they had told her and as she looked at some of the old files her sensei placed away. That he was living with the Akatski, who were partly not so evil and they even saw Minato and Kushina, two of Konoha's most prominent shinobi, though they were alive for sometime for Naruto's birthday party. The brat had apparently given birth to twelve children, three which she was sure were going to enter the Kumo chuunin exams and on top of that some of the Akatski children were as well.

As for the reason why they all wished they were dead? According to the group, well mostly Tenten, since she was in the least worse condition, though he was just as bad, they were all brutally tortured by Itachi. According to the lazy genius, he was paying them back for what they all did to Naruto or 'his blonde' as he named him. The worst were Team 7 and Jiraiya, followed by, of all people Hinata because he deemed her a 'coward for not doing anything', as well as Chouji, then Ino for being a 'complete bitch' to him, then Neji, who had 'spouted out nonsense about fate' to his blonde during the chuunin exams and belittled him, then Kiba, for being an 'annoying mutt' for always mocking him, Shikamaru for being lazy and seeing his blonde's situation 'too troublesome to deal with' and Lee for belittle his skills. Shino was in the same boat as Tenten, since they never really interacted with Naruto at all, but Shino had lost half of his hive, which was why he was suffering.

Tenten had explained how the barrier system that the Spring Country was created by Naruto. It was designed so that all those who intruded into the village without permission, there was a seal immediately placed on them that, when activated, would immobile them and seal their chakra. Tsunade was naturally impressed as were the elders, but they wanted such a barrier to exist in Konoha. The team was still recovering, a few still unconscious, others were awake while the worse, namely Team 7 and Jiraiya were in comas and luckily should be waking up soon.

"Silence!" she roared at the nuisances that were in front of her. After they were told of Naruto's heritage and she confirmed it, they, the civilian council and the elders, wanted him back in the village. The Shinobi council, seeing the state of their children, wanted nothing to do with the blonde and his over protective husband.
