author note- chapter was in wrong location. Takes place before the last.
-A few hours later-
“So many kids..” Pana said looking out. She looked to the side at a portal that connected to those in the other two villages. “Definitely have been busy.”
“Yeah..” Kai scratched his chin. “A lot of things happened. Well you know that already. So go ahead and start. This is everyone with my blood or has been changed by me. Minus a few that life is not part of this of course. Those who will never really change.”
“Right. So… are you going to create a Pantheon and rule?” Kai shook his head no. “Good. You would not last long before becoming a Tyrant. That leads to straight becoming a Devil.”
“Do it! Papa become a Devil! With fangs and stuff.” Three little boys and two girls start to pretend to bite at Kai with fangs. “We can be the Devil Dogs!” Each of them said at the time. The synchro from the five speech drives Kai crazy at times. He swears they share a mind with each other.
“Ok Quints settle down.” Kai said softly. His voice was lace with chakra. It caused a slight whistling sound to go out. It let the children know it was something serious going on. The Quints then ran and jumped on him. Runt was on top of his head. the girls hung from his shoulders and the other two boys hung from his lifted arms. “Do continue Pana.”
“Hehe ok.” Pana smilled at them then turned to the countless others. “Some of you will never reach past your father’s current strength. That is because of how limited this World is. But since you plan on leaving that will be fine. “Good news, your seals that have limited your strength is good. With Kai finally finishing his Path and becoming powerful, he can can keep you all from destroying each other.”
“Umm why would we do that?” Chrysa said. “Not all the kinds are violent.”
“Because of Kai. Because of what we represent. Which is Pandemonium.” Pana said. “Kai was suppose to absorb me and take my knowledge as his own. But he return me instead. “That is not really the norm for our “kind” specifically. We pass the Aspect on to the next deserving. But a change is not bad. Each of you has one formed or forming. You can let the power guide you to the person in the future .. or chose yourself.”
“You two are really not siblings. More of like.. Yah know what, no. Just no. I am not thinking about it anymore.” Anko said. “This is a weird bit of info. Always weird info when dealing with your family.”
“Haa because you are from this World and I am both from here and not from here.” Kai said with a little chuckle. His kids were moving about antsy. “We will stay here for another few years and wrap some things up. Then leave for those who want to. For those who want to stay, they can stay. I will not force you to come with. The same how some of the others left before.”
“Yeah… but some of them died. Killed and hunted by missing ninja from other countries.” Anko said.
“Well not much to do about that.” Tsume said. “They over estimated themselves and turned their back.. well on Kai. They paid the price.”
“Haaa so we become weaker if we break ties with you. How shitty is that.” Kisame said. “But then again we gain power from you so their is that. They were what, jonin rank right?”
“Yes.” Kai said shaking his head. “Changes that were made to some of you, they reverse slowly the more you pull away from me. Or in some cases turn against me. Do not look at me like that Chrysa, that comes with the power itself. I am glad it works that way. I am not about letting my enemies become stronger from me.”
“I see, but they were married to you.” Chrysa said frowning. “I understand they wanted to leave but couldn’t you have done something more?”
“I made sure they were healthy and had medicine to take care of themselves.” Kai shook his head. His son on top, laughing as he enjoyed the turning and shaking. “They made their decision. Would you rather I kebt locked up in the compound doing things instead.”
“Yes! They would be alive then.” Chrysa snapped. “What is the point of this strength and power if you do not use it?”
“Tch.” Tsume smacked her teeth. She was a little angry at the other woman’s statement. “We have been. The amount we have stopped already is way more than what we should have gotten involved in. We can not waste ninja and resources on those who do not want to stay. As well as does who do not want to help with things.”
“They left but their sons and daughters remained. That is something they did right at least.” Kari added in. “Does not mean we wont look for them still. Especially with the info Kai recently obtained. All the bodies have not been recovered. We will still continue the search. At our side will be their final resting place.”
“Right. I am sorry.” Chrysa said. “Just feels like we don’t have control of everything anymore.”
“Because you dont. That is life.” Pana said. “But enough of that. In the next few years, I will teach you all control for you can enjoy a normal life as well as an extraordinary one. From what I can tell from Kai, that does not mean you are allowed to be weak. So I will help with chakra control. Unlike this one,” she pointed at Kai. “I have complete control of my higher powers. For the actual fighter’s I will have you at the rank of Kage in no time kiddos. For the a.d.u.l.ts’ lets just say I will make so Kai will have trouble fighting you all at once.”
“Oh, I like her a lot.” Tsume said. “Can you give me a hand with some of my clansmen? Kai has been a little to rough with them.” Pana nodded curtly. “Good. Anyway behave quints. Or I will make sure we head to the desert for rough training.”
“Booh desert training sucks mama.” The girls hanging on Kai said. They did a swing on his arms before jumping towards their mother. “But we will behave.” Tsume nodded and left. A bunch of the others left on their way as well.
“Anui & Rea come here.” Kai said to the two girls. They rolled on the ground an popped up. “Toma, Jorro, do not start fighting.” He looked at the two boys by his legs. He spoke right as they were about to start acting up. Only behaved one was Ricklen or Runt he liked to call him. “Get cleaned up, it is your turn for a story tonite.”
“Yay!” Jorro said. Like every Inuzuka he had spiky hair. And a lot of it. He did however have Kai’s disposition. That and the dark red hair. “Tell the story of the Sith Empire!”
“No screw that! Tell the story of the Jedi revival.” Anui countered. “She shared her mother’s aggressiveness. Anyone that disagreed with her, had trouble on their hands. It did not help she spoke like Karin and knew how to get to people’s secret. And she was stealthy and had quick hands. Really quick hands. “You filthy little Sith lover.”
“Humph! Better than a psycho Jedi plebian!” Rea said. She was the snarky type and loved to pick an argument apart. Much to the amus.e.m.e.nt of the a.d.u.l.ts who tried to enforce rules with any meaning. Kai had to take her with him several times to explain things. “You Jedi are useless!”
“Enough already.” Runt said getting down. “If we keep arguing, papa wont tell us any story.” He was the mediator of the group. Always finding common ground. But that did not mean he was not a fighter. He loved to kick things. Especially steel balls at training dummy’s. His hair was spiky, but the ponytail he tied it in kept it contained.
“Last one to clean up has to clean the bathroom!” Toma said. He sped off leaving his siblings behind. Always rushing into things, never waiting once his mind was made up. He looked just like Kiba when he was younger. He had Kai’s eye though.
“That dirty little.” Rea said grumbling. She sped off past Kai and the rest. Runt as the last to leave.
“Your kids are… something else.” Pana said. “Even the other 27 who didn’t really speak. The others whispered enough for me to hear. They are happy you have gotten stronger. Kids love seeing their parents strong. Except…”
“Except the children in the Frost village.” Kai said smiling. “They view me differently than the other Kai. It is because of the time and our appearance. His white hair and his now dark purple eyes with the pink ring in them. To different than my own. It will be fixed soon.”
“Bweem!” A portal opened and the other Kai stepped out. Both touched hands and refused back togethor.
“Haa better. Much better.” The air churned from the increase in chakra. Whole Kai’s power was terrifying. “Much, much better.”
“Hey! You better not stay like that!” Mastica yelled coming out the portal. “I rather not have to stay in the Leaf village.” She looked at the others and waved.
“No, just to help with something.” Kai eyes glowed as he let loose a wave of chakra. “Take this Chrysa and follow Tsume’s lead when she comes back.”
“Woom, woom, woom!” A map appeared. The material was completely made from chakra. On it was images of people. Formed from the info he gathered. The bodies moved on the map effortless in a way that was not natural.
“I have no idea how to use this.” Chrysa said. “How do you use it?”
“You will figure it out. Time is wasting.” Kai said. His tone was a little cold. On the back of the map was his symbol of Cruelty. It formed the map. The people were that of those he was hunting, searching, or trying to find. “Hah I can not read it either. Something in my mind is stopping it.”
“That is Pandemonium at work.” Pana said. “You can not always have it easy. It will not let you. Moe so because you need to let them work more.” She pointed at Chrysa and Anko. “They are… lazy. But oh well. Tsume and Kari are making you stronger here. As well as those other women.” Flashing her eyes at Mastica she scanned the woman and smiled. “Oh that is nice. I really like this one.”
“What does that mean?” Mastica asked. Kai just shrugged. “I a female companion but I do not like women like that. So no.”
“Did not mean it like that.” Pana said shaking her head. “I like men only. But I could not mind sitting down and talking with you privately. A little woman talk is all.”
“Right…. sure. Not today though. Have to do some things with the husband once he separates again.” Mastica said. Kai looked at her and shook. Slowly the other him pulled back out. “Great!” Mastica wrapped Kai in her chakra, and puled him into the portal. “By see you all in a few years!”
“Well that was something.” Kai shook his head. “So many different thoughts. But the Frost village is doing fine. I cannot believe he saved Doomsday.” Thinking for a bit, Kai remembered about Kara Zor-El. “Oh crap Kara.”
“I will take her with me. Kari set up a place for me to stay at. It is in the Senju compound area. Something about helping to build relations there. I doubt it will work. Especially, since I can feel your animosity building there.”
“I am working through it.” Kai said somberly. “Anyway, going to go read the kiddos a story. TenTen, Karin are you two ok with everything?”
“Um yes Karin said. I will talk to you tomorrow.” She walked up and gave Kai a hug. She then walked away. “I am sleepy.”
“Who cares what you are or where your soul comes from. You are my papa. That is what matters.” TenTen said looking at Kai and the others. “I am with you no matter what. Same as mama Hisa. I wish she was here instead of the other village. But that is how things work. I still have mama Pakura, Kari and the others. So I am good. Just never betray me Papa. Always come back for me.”
“Of course I will my little General.” Kai said to her. “Always and forever. Oh, do you want to return to your real height or stay like this?”
“I will stay like this. It is fun. Especially when I tease the others.” TenTen smiled. Kai gave her a strange look. She stopped him from prying. “Nothing, noting. Have my secrets. Night everyone.”
With her gone, Pana talked with the rest. Kai went to read the kids a story. Then a walk or a fly to clear his head.
TenTen was out looking for Naruto. She tried to use her senses to pinpoint his signature chakra after just wandering around aimlessly. However, another signature matched Naruto’s. It was something odd that needed to be looked into. To use her x-ray vision would have been horrible. To many people in the area. She just wanted to spend a little time with him. To show a new technique she learned. She needed to pay a little more attention to her support abilities like Ino does.
Stopping at the park she closed her eyes and focused on her ears. A few breaths later she was calm and started to communicate with Chompers who crawled out of her hair. Slowly tattoos formed on her hands. This was the only way TenTen could use her chakra sense without letting out to much power. Control was still something she lost out on. Especially with her recent increase in strength.
“Fwoosh!” With a quick step, TenTen around in a spot with Naruto not to far away.
“Hey Naruto. What are you.. doing.. here? Why is Jiraiya here?” TenTen asked quietly. As if speaking lower would make this image disappear. “You have to be supervised when he is near.”
“I.. welll..I.” Naruto stumbled his words. Seeing as the secret was out, he had no choice but to come clean. “He is training me, as well as telling me stories about my dad.”
“What!?” TenTen said question him angry. Her chakra spiked for a bit. She then saw the scroll to the side with Naruto’s signature. “You signed it!”
“Yeah, my dad did as well.” Naruto said sheepishly. “I know Kai wanted me to sign with the fox clan but..”
“So you sign with frogs! F.u.c.k.i.n.g frogs!” TenTen was really upset now. Her fox Chompers came out of her hair and looked at the scroll. Its eyes were menacing as fire let its nostrils. “Break the contract Naruto!”
“He cannot.” Jiraiya said. “This isn’t for him to break away from. He made a commitment.”
“Shut up!” TenTen grabbed Naruto’s hand and started to pull him away. “We are leaving. You stay away from him you hear me.”
“TenTen stop. I have to keep training.” Naruto said planting his feet firmly in the ground. It didn’t do much since she was stronger than he was. ‘She is so powerful!’
“If you want training, we have several methods at home. I will even ask Kakashi to up your training myself.” TenTen said.
“Kakishi already helps train me. TenTen stop!” Naruto used a lot of his chakra to plant his feet firmly in the ground. TenTen let him go and turned to him. “I have to do this my way.”
“Really why!? Tell me why and I might let you stay.”
“I cant trust Kai.” Naruto said. “My parents… he has them both.” Seeing TenTen not even flinch he turned angry. “You knew about it!?”
“Yup. I was the one who helped him design the seal. But it still is a work in progress.” TenTen said matter of fact. “You shouldn’t be upset. Papa can just as easily release it and let the soul pieces dissipate.”
“Can he bring them back at this exact minute?”
“Duno. He is not working on it right now.” TenTen said. “Right now, we have more important things to worry about than those two. They are building up strength as promised.”
“Tch, they are my parents! How can he be so blaze’ about it?” Naruto gripped his fingers tightly. “You see nothing wrong with this? What if it was your parents this was happening to!?” After yelling this out, Naruto realized he should have kept him mouth shut.
“My parents didn’t have fragments that could be restored. They are completely in the afterlife.” TenTen tone turned hard and cold. “We tried to bring them back, it did not work. I was able to talk with them for an hour. Just an hour! You had much longer than me! Your parents are gonna be here permanently. What right do you have to be angry!”
“I.. I didn’t know.” Naruto took a step back.
“You were suppose to train and get ready for the future. Yet you are here with this fool.” TenTen chakra started to get away from her control, as both she and Chompers let loose their power. “Papa wanted to do something nice for you back then. I told him he should have waited. You are such a stupid brat!”
“Hey now.. that is enough.” Jiraiya said. He stepped forward to get between the two of them. “You do not understand TenTen. There are things happening out of your understanding.”
“Pft!” TenTen looked at him like he was crazy. “That nonsense about the prophecy. You were wrong twice before and trained one of the biggest enemies of the world. You still have not gone to talk with the fool Nagato.”
“How do you know about that?” Jariya eyes went wide at her. “Of course your father. Why should I go and talk with Nagato?”
“If you cant figure it out, it is on you. Stay away from Naruto or else.” TenTen looked back at Naruto and offered her hand to him. “Come with me.”
“I…” Naruto started to say but stopped. “I want to stay and train. Everyone has their own path.”
“I think it best you leave TenTen.” Jiraiya said walking up to her.
“Oh.. you gonna stop me old man?” TenTen looked at him and sneered. She was blatantly provoking the man into a fight. A chance to fight a Sannin could not be passed up. “You and those little froggies of yours?” Her cheeks puffed up as she exhaled. ‘Great Breakthrough!’
“Woosh!” Jiraiya slid back. He then did a bac flip correcting himself. He was not that rusty. “Woosh!” A burst of speed as a figure moved to Naruto.
“What are you ..” Naruto started to say. “Ugh.. I.” TenTen sped over and knocked him out cold. She placed a quick seal to keep him asleep.
“What are you doing?” Jiraiya asked. He felt cold sweat dripped down his back. ‘What is with that look?’
“I am going to start beating you now… try your best to stay alive.” TenTen dropped a scroll that unraveled on its own. “You see.. you took Naruto when you were not suppose. You broke the agreement. You need to be punished.”
“Poof!” The scroll released a Greataxe. On the shaft were twin engravings of a fox. The blade itself was made of a special metal that TenTen and Kai made mixing chakra and all sorts of other components.
“I wonder if its first kill well be a legendary Sannin?” TenTen rubbed her thumb along the sharp edge. Her eyes watched it closely. “Just enough to barely break the skin.”
“I will not play with you child.” Jiraiya.
“I am not giving you a choice.” TenTen stomped her foot on the ground. This had two effects. first creating a seal preventing others from entering, second stopping the sound from escaping. “Ha!”
“Fwoosh!” With a burst of speed, she appeared right in front of Jiraiya. “Bweem!” With a swing of her axe, fire trailed after it. “Bang!”It cleaved right through a kunai Jariya held up to block. Landing in his arm, Jiraiya then turned to smoke.
“Kuhg!” TenTen g.r.o.a.n.e.d. “Tch, how fast.” Her head looked back as mess of hair tried to wrap her up. “Oh how cute.” Instantly TenTen was completely covered and bound.
“That was dangerous missy. I think you need to calm down.” Jiraiya said. He felt something was off but he was to late to react. “What the?!”
“Fwish!” An intense flame burned the holdings. Several bits of the hair bindings fell away from the intensity. TenTen was completely covered in flames and walked towards the stunned Sannin.
“Hmph, combine with you froggies old man. I need to see your sage mode.” TenTen said. She rested the greataxe on her shoulder. Fire building around her. “If you keep this up… I might just kill you.”
“Humph, you little brat. You asked for it.” Jiraiya built his chakra and started to go through the hand signs. ‘Huh?!’ He stopped when noticed TenTen stared at him unflinching eyes blazing with a strong intensity. ‘She is so sure of herself. Why is that? What happened to Naruto?!’ Looking to the side he didn’t’ see Naruto anywhere.
During the first exchange, TenTen sent a clone to take Naruto away. She was really planning to go a little overboard. They way she currently was, may cause damage that might hit Naruto.
“No.. I can do it without Sage mode.” Jiraiya said. “I will stop you and take you to the Hokage at once. He needs to be informed that Nine Tails is no longer in Naruto. Just a little of his chakra has traces of it. What is Lord Senju planning?”
“Pat!” TenTen kicked of the ground and swung her greataxe at the man’s neck. If she needed to push him, she would. “Ching!” Jiraiya haired blocked the swing. “Thunk!” His feet sunk in the ground just a bit.
“Ughh, you are strong child. I have fought stronger.” Jiraiya directed his hair to push her away. TenTen didnt budge an inch. ‘How is she doing this?!’
“Had to kick it up a little bit. Just a small increase. Should I show you more?” TenTen asked rhetorically. Her chakra seal was already releasing as she added more strength. Her left hand already forming hand signals. “Hope you can hold your breath.”
Not waiting for her to finish, Jiraiya kicked to her mid section. “Thump!” His foot felt like it hit against solid steel. “Fwish!” The TenTen he kicked burst into flames. It was a clone made of fire. Looking up, Jiraiya spotted TenTen floating. Little bits of fire floating underneath her.
“What an amazing technique. How did you learn it?”
“Firestyle… Scorched Earth!” TenTen yelled. fire poured out of her mouth and from behind her. A ring of flames gathered around the two. Slowly if one looked, it burned the ground but also closed in on itself. “You have two minutes before the ground is done. As well as the air. But I am sure you will be fine.” Floating up, TenTen just watched him from above.
Jiraiya touched the ground and sent his senses through the ground. ‘It’s burning under the ground. How did she spread it that far already? Its picking up speed already.’ Pulling a scroll out he had a solution for this. “You are still green girl. Fire Sealing Method!” Jiraiya activates the technique without any hand signs. Symbols appeared on the scroll and started to draw the flames into the center.
“Haaaa!” TenTen yelled as she unleashed more of her chakra. ‘Need to test the capacity of his sealing techniques.’ She watched as the scroll continued to take in the flames. It took 33 seconds before the scroll stopped taking in the flames. The edges started to burn. “Humph not good enough.”
“Boom!” An intense flame left and returned towards TenTen. It was less flames now but was more concentrated. Seeing a slight change in the color, TenTen held the greataxe out and swung towards Jiraiya. “Fwoosh!” The area burned from the additional chakra she added in the swing.
A few quick hand signs and a earth appeared in front to block him. “Crack!” The intense fire dried the earth and caused it to crack and break.
“You should be running out of chakra little missy. How about you stop already?”
“Hmm I think I will. But not because you suggested it. Enjoy your present.” TenTen then disappeared. She reappeared not to far away and met with the clone that was carrying Naruto. “What to do with you?”
“What present cold she be talking about?” Jiraiya asked. he was slightly puzzled until he felt the intense chakra coming from the ground. “What the flames?! I thought they were all s.u.c.k.e.d towards her and the scroll.”
“Fwoooosshhh!” The seal TenTen placed earlier collapsed and fed into her last Technique. In seconds, Jiraiya was surrounded and encased in a fire sphere. Trying to break out, Jiraiya was surprised he couldn’t cause it to budge. His chakra was also draining rapidly into the barrier.
“Fizzle!” His clothes were burned as well his scroll and undershirt. But his skin and hair were find. “Fizzle.” The sphere disappeared, leaving him completely n.a.k.e.d.
“How much chakra did she have to do this?” Jiraiya shook his head in wonder. Taking a look around he noticed his surroundings were different. With a look around the area, it came to him quickly. “Why in the world did she do this?”
“I think everything will be ok after a good dip.” A woman voice said stepping forward. A few other woman stepped in behind her. The woman each had brunette her and pale skin. The very noticeable thing were their eyes. Each were Hyuga women that remained in the leaf village. Main Branch members.
“Umm is that Jiraiya?” A woman asked pointing. The others all stopped talking and focused ahead.
“Listen.. about this… I was sent here. Not by.. choice…” Jiraiya said getting up. He was having trouble with his loss of chakra. On wobbly legs, he backed away and felt it was going to get bad. Seeing the angry looks, he cursed TenTen in his mind. ‘This is not a present!’
