Uzu of Iwa

Rough Steps

The group had made it to Iwa but took longer as they were in no hurry to get their but that was an adventure itself.

We see Onoki, Autsuchi, Kurotsuchi and Naruto had made it too the front gates the two gate guards saw their leader and princess come back but with some blonde man with them he had two blue armbands with Leaf insignia's and he looked similar to the Yondaime Hokage.

"Greetings Tsuchikage-sama, halt stranger," one said.

He did as Onoki spoke, "relax this here is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, he is now a part of Iwa," the old man stated.

The guards eyes widened, specially when they said his last name, he was his son, their eyes darkened and were about to speak but Naruto cut them off.

"Lady Kurotsuchi and i fought, i lost and i am now her servant, i mean now harm as i am under her control," he said bowing to them.

Onoki and Kurotsuchi looked at him in shock but the guards looked pleased by this.

"Right, you may pass but know this dog, make one wrong move and you won't live to regret it," one spat at him.

He nodded and they all went inside.

"Babe, why did you do that?" Kurotsuchi asked.

He looked at her, "because they like most of this village i suspect hate my father for the losses he committed, so i have to tread lightly here and plus they will all find out soon, it's just better to be your slave for now!" he said to her with a smile.

She looked at him sadly but nodded as it was still true most of her village hated the Yondaime more then his village, but Naruto was a good man and she would make sure they all knew it.

"That was a brave thing you did my boy, i'm sorry to say that it won't be easy here for you!" Onoki said.

"Well have someone more precious then myself to protect," he said taking his eyes away from Onoki, to look at his Kuro-hime.

She blushed at his words, while the old man gave them a smile, it did him good to know he could rest now that he had a worthy man to protect his beloved grand daughter.

All the while all of the civilians saw them with this new comer as he looked like the yellow flash himself, most were shocked by this specially since he was so close to their Princess.

"Who is that?".

"He looks like the yellow flash!".

"What is his intent with our Princess?".

Whispers and other things like that were heard, but he didn't let them get to him, he had heard it all before back in Konoha.

Luckily no one else had anything to say or reason to cause trouble yet so they made it the Kage tower with relative ease.

Once inside he bid Autsuchi goodbye and sent him home, leaving the three alone in his office. "Well now it's time to make you an official member of Iwa, so tomorrow i well have some of my best fight to gauge your power and see where you belong.

"Well if it helps, i was only a Gennin in Konoha so...yeah," he said to dead panned.

Onoki sighed and Kurotsuchi sweatdropped. When the door opened up and in came a man with dark hair and a scar along his face on the left side he looked to be about Autsuchi's height (even thought Naruto was bigger by two feet) but more muscle then fat but he held an air of arrogance and disrespect.

"Hey old man your back, oh hey babe didn't see you their," he said smugly as he walked over to Kurotsuchi and put an arm over her shoulder.

Onoki glared at him while Kurotsuchi felt uncomfortable, "ummmm hey their but she doesn't want you touching her so back off their guy!" Naruto said to him.
