Last Time:
Gato didn't know it, but he made a powerful enemy that night ...
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruto sighed as he saw Sasuke attempt the tree climbing exercise for the eighth time, "Are they trying to prove that they're good senseis or something?" He mumbled as he saw Minato and Kushina gave the Uchiha pointers. The hybrid noticed that the two Namikazes would glance his way as if they were looking for his approval.
Sakura sat down next to him, "They certainly did a 180 since the other night. You know, they asked me to train with them."
"Do you want to?" asked the curious hybrid.
She shrugged, "Not really. I want to be a medic so what can they do for me if they don't know anything in that field?"
"Well, if you want we can continue our training." Naruto suggested.
The pinkette smiled, "Sure, everyone is up and moving now, but should we leave them alone?"
"No, best to be safe. Let’s both leave some clones behind." They each summoned a clone and left to train in the forest.
Several hours later ...
Sakura charged Naruto and threw a punch at him. He easily avoided the attack and watched as the earth erupted under Sakura's fist.
Naruto landed gracefully on his feet, "Very good, you're a fast learner. Let's take a break."
The two medics undressed and took a swim. For some it might be embarrassing, but Sakura was trained to see the body for what it was, which was not something to ever be ashamed of ... and it helped that Naruto was like a brother to her ... A gay brother.
"Hey, Naruto-sensei. How did you meet your mates?" She asked curiously as they dressed.
The hybrid smirked, "Why? Are you looking for some dirty details?"
Her face turned red, "Nooooo ..."
A scream stopped the conversation in its tracks and the medics raced back to Tazuna's house ...
XXXXXXXXXX
Itachi was drying his hair as he sat down on the couch next to his friend Shisui, "What are you thinking about?"
Shisui smiled, "When I first met Naruto."
Flashback
Shisui woke in the hospital and saw a young 11 year old medic standing next to his bed.
"Hello, Shisui. It's good to see that you're up. I'm Naruto Namikaze. Do you know where you are?"
The Uchiha looked around weakly, "Konoha hospital?"
The blonde nodded, "That's good. Do you remember what happened to bring you here?"
"... I ... Our mission went horribly wrong ... Did anyone else survive?" Shusui exclaimed in a panic caused by his memories returning.
"Only one other and she's in critical condition ... You should rest." Naruto said firmly gently pushing him down and tucking him in.
The Uchiha nodded weakly, "Yes, Doctor."
Later that night ...
Shisui opened his eyes and he froze in fear. There in the window was an enemy ninja from the same group who attacked him before! He panicked and, without any strength or chakra at the moment, he tried to call for help, but the ninja darted forward and covered the Uchiha's mouth.
"Time to finish you bastards off." whispered the shinobi as he held a kunai to Shisui's throat. The Uchiha shut his eyes and waited for the cold metal to slash his flesh, but nothing happened. He opened his eyes and saw a senbon sticking out of the enemy's neck.
"Are you alright?" Shisui turned his head and saw his blonde doctor. He nodded and a second later an anbu with a rat mask appeared.
"Damn, I was close ... Oh well, I'll try next time." said the anbu.
Naruto's eyes narrowed, "What is that supposed to mean, Rat?"
Rat shrugged, "That is none of your business, medic-"
A wave of killing intent froze the ninja in his place, "When it concerns my patients then it is my business."
"You’re just a medic, you can't do anything." Rat laughed nervously ...
Flashback Over
Shisui laughed, "Naruto beat that idiot into the ground and sent him to Ibiki."
"It served him right! He was trying to use you as bait so he could get a promotion ... I think it's your fault Naruto has that nickname in the bingo book." said Itachi.
Iwaka, Raido and Genma walked into the house. "What are you guys talking about?" asked Raido.
Itachi smiled, "When we first met Naruto."
Genma raised an eyebrow, "I met Naruto on a mission where he was a field medic, but how did you meet him, Itachi?"
"After Shisui got out of the hospital I returned from a mission and I wanted to meet the doctor who saved my friend. I found him training and after thanking him we sparred together. Been pretty close since then. What about you, Raido?"
Iwaka chuckled as Raido smirked, "Iwaka and I met Naruto at the same time ..."
Flashback
"Excuse, ninja-san. Could you help me find the hospital?"
"Sure, it's this way. My name is Raido." He said as they walked up a street and turned to find the hospital slightly hidden by trees.
"I'm Iwaka, I'm new here so- ... who's that?" The new doctor asked as he pointed to a young ten year old who was lecturing some students.
Raido shrugged, "I never met him personally, but that must be Dr. Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage's apprentice."
Iwaka blinked, "Dr.? But he's so young." The two moved closer and listened to the class as they moved through the hospital.
They came to a bed with a man on it and his crying wife next to it, "Excuse me, miss, what's wrong?" asked the ten year old blonde teacher.
The woman sniffled, "It's my husband, h-he's been unresponsive since I came home to celebrate our anniversary."
Naruto nodded and instructed his students to make some suggestions on what could be the problem. Iwaka was sure that the guy was faking it and was going to raise his hand when the blonde instructor looked his way. Naruto shook his head slightly silently asking him to remain quiet so the students could answer.
"Ok class, you all had some good guesses, but tell me what you see." The teacher instructed.
One student raised her hand, "All the readings and results are normal, sensei."
The blonde teacher nodded, "Exactly." He looked at Raido, "Raido, right? Could I borrow your sword?"
The ninja shrugged and handed his sword to Naruto, "Of course, but how ..."
"I'm friends with Anko and she's always talking about your poisonous sword." Naruto explained as he held the black blade and addressed his class. "Now sometimes you should look deeper, but in a case like this something like smelling salts should suffice. I'm not in a smelling salt mood today so I will instead use this sword and slice his stomach open starting at his groin and work up from there."
Several students snickered as they saw the heart monitor spike indicating that the guy heard him and the class started a countdown, "Three ... two ... one."
"DON'T KILL ME!" The man bolted out of bed was clinging to the ceiling for his life making the students laugh.
Naruto gave Raido the blade as he said to the man's wife, "I believe I have a diagnosis. Your husband is an idiot who forgot his anniversary and was trying to buy time by faking a coma."
The furious woman looked at her terrified husband, "Honey ... GET DOWN HERE!"
The young blonde teacher turned to a nurse and asked, "Could you make a room for him? I have a feeling he'll be back with real injuries this time."
Flashback Over
Everyone laughed at the story, "No one tried faking an illness after that story went around ... I wonder what Naruto is doing now." Iwaka pondered.
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Sakura came back to Tazuna's house and found a gruesome scene ...
Six bloody corpses littered the ground ...
Sakura's clone was standing with Shino and Kiba protecting Tazuna and his family ...
Naruto's clone held back Zabuza's blade ...
Yuki was trapped in an ice mirror with a masked man standing near it ...
The two medics dispelled their clones and received those memories. Apparently, while training the six corpses fell from the sky. Zabuza used the commotion to try and kill Minato, but the Naruto clone blocked the blade and everyone backed a way to safety thinking the ninja was out of surprises ...
They were wrong ...
Everyone turned when they heard a scream and saw Yuki inside a mirror of ice with Zabuza's masked accomplice threatening to smash the mirror if anyone moved ...
The hybrid mulled over the memories for a second before he calmly tossed a senbon at the masked accomplice's feet as he walked towards Zabuza.
"One more step and my companion will kill your friend." Naruto kept walking ignoring Minato, Kushina and Yuka who were begging him to stop. "Fine then ... Haku, kill the whore! ... What are you waiting for-..." Zabuza froze, there was blood dripping out from behind Haku's mask.
Naruto continued walking towards the mist ninja, "Don't bother, Zabuza. Your accomplice is dead. That senbon released deadly gas the second it hit the ground. Sakura, grab Yuki."
Sakura nodded, "Ok, sensei." She said and she reached into the mirror to pull the trapped girl out of her chilly prison. As she did so the masked ninja collapsed and his mask fell off.
Zabuza stared at his ally's face as Minato and Kushina comforted their daughter, "Poison? You. Of course, that bitch hokage would send you! The second strongest medic in Konoha and a brilliant poison user who will kill anyone who threatens his village or patients, Dr. Naruto Namikaze aka 'The Demon Doctor', S ranked in the bingo book ... Is it true you can change into a wolf?"
The hybrid chuckled, "People exaggerate ... Are you going to leave peacefully-guess not." He said as Zabuza swung his massive blade at Naruto ...
Minato and Kushina were running towards Naruto in order to save him, but it wasn't necessary ...
Naruto vanished, in a blink of an eye he was holding the blade's handle and Zabuza's head was on the ground. He made some clones to bury the bodies
Everyone was stunned save for team 8 and Sakura ...
"WOW ... That was awesome, big brother!" Yuki and Yuka yelled. That comment confused the members of team 8.
The doctor ignored the twins and turned to Sasuke, "Your stitches popped open. Follow me and I'll fix it." Sasuke blinked, he didn't see that his side was bleeding.
Just as the Uchiha and Naruto were about to leave, Minato grabbed the blonde's medic's arm, "Wait, please tell me, Naruto. Do you know the hiraishin?"
"No, I'm just fast" Naruto escorted the quiet Uchiha into the house where he was treated by the very person he tried to kill only four months earlier. It seemed quite awkward for Sasuke.
"What's going on, Kushina? Why did they call Naruto 'big brother'?" asked Kurenai, who was glaring at Kushina with suspicion.
The red head fidgeted nervously, "Well ... ummm You see ..."
Sakura sighed and decided to explain since the Namikazes didn't seem interested in going into detail, "I'll answer that, Kurenai-sensei. You see, Yuki and Yuka aren't twins. Yuki, Yuka and Naruto-sensei are fraternal triplets."
Kurenai was shocked and even more confused than before, "We were friends. Why wasn't I told this or anyone for that matter? Why haven't I seen Naruto in any photos or at your house or training with you? The entire village thinks Tsunade-sama is Naruto's- ..." Realization dawned on the genjutsu mistress and her eyes narrowed in anger. "You neglected him ... Why?"
"Because ... h-he didn't- of course, we have pictures. We took so many on their 13th birthday! So Naruto must be in there-" The redhead and her family froze as Sakura burst into laughter and team 8 seemed even more pissed.
Hell, Kurenai was so mad that she couldn't speak so Shino did, "Minato, Kushina, do you remember any gossip when you came back from that 13th birthday trip? Like news on stone ninjas in the village?"
Minato nodded, "If I remember correctly, three stone ninjas infiltrated the village and tried to assassinate the hokage's apprent- ... " The Namikazes paled.
Shino nodded, "Exactly,. How could you have pictures with Naruto when he was in a hospital bed recovering from a near fatal injury?" The oblivious family members finally started to see the full extent of their actions and it sickened them.
"You avoided my question, why? Why did you leave him behind?" Kurenai asked.
The pink haired apprentice shook her head, they weren't answering, "He didn't have a bloodline." They murmured weakly.
"What? Is this true?" The genjutsu mistress didn't get a response, just four faces filled with shame, but that was all she needed ...
"I see ... Goodbye, Kushina." The redhead winced at the lack of the suffix 'sensei' as her former friend went back in the house.
Sakura was about to leave too when Minato asked, "Sakura, what is the relationship between Naruto and the hokage?"
The medic in training smiled, "She's his mother."
The rest of the people went into the house leaving the four heartbroken Namikazes alone with their thoughts and tears ...
