Uzu of Iwa

Perseverance

Pulling out his own blades he caught the slashes and the fight began.

The mysterious attackers, thought the boy would be an easy target from what the council told them, but something was off, he was a lot stronger then they had been told and before they knew it, Naruto had beaten them back like they were children.

Cursing their luck they retreated but didn't see the Anbu following them, as Naruto put his blades away, now he had a major problem and needed to see Tsunade about it.

On the other end of that Jiraya was also on his way back to tell them of the impending attack.

===============================

The girls had split off with Shizune and Hana going to there apartment and the others heading home when Anbu appeared in front of them.

"Milady, the civilian council has attempted to capture Naruto, they have failed and have now convened in hopes of kidnapping Mito to blackmail him and remove you from your seat" the female voice said.

Temari and Kurotsuchi were not happy in the least Natsuto was confused and Tsunade was angry.

"Keep an eye on them tell me of what other plans they have and i want to trap them and dissolve the council....permanently" she said coldly.

Nodding they and headed back to the manor, if Mito was the goal then they had to get her safely tucked away.

"If they so much as try, i'l kill them all" Kuro said in a drunken rage, no one was gonna take her baby from her to black mail her husband into giving them more power and influence to those undeserving.

Temari nodded in agreement, Garra would never allow for it, not after what the blond did for them, plus the idea of babies being used as game pieces made her sick to her stomach.

"Don't worry girls, nothing like that will happen, with the elders out of office those greedy bastards lost a lot of there power, i was hoping this would happen, now i can finally stick it too them and take it back as it should have been" Tsunade said with a smirk playacting alot of their anger for now.

While the pair were not happy, they still agreed, this needed to happen.

The Anbu, placed in the room had been listening in on the conversations, everything was there, murder, treason, black mail and extortion.

Apparently two of them wanted there daughters pregnant so they could used the children to steal the Namikaze fortune, one wanted to blackmail him for his influence with several of the other nations and many more wanted his daughter so he could be used like a puppet.

The last one got to several of the Anbu, though they wore masks and hide there emotions and such, the idea of babies being used like this was monstrous, they had all seen Mito and couldn't lie about the fact they enjoyed seeing her, she was a beautiful baby and so happy, to see the light leave those innocent eyes was a crime against the very fabric of nature itself, But they sat in wait, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Naruto was making his way home with a terrified Tonton on his head, poor thing had been shaken by the fight and so he put her to sleep to melt away her stress.

Once he made it he saw that everyone was out back, Kurotsuchi was feeding Mito and the others were relaxing for the moment.

"Hello" he called out.

They all looked over and smiled happily.

He came up and kissed Kuro, little Mito then Temari, and told them what had happened.
