Chapter 48 - 48 Menma uzumaki and fifth hokage

konoha .....

A man is walking towards the gates of konoha . He is walking slowly without a care in the world . He stopped in front of the gates . Izumo and kotetsu looked at him and asked for identification papers . He handed them the papers .

He looks very tall and have a lot of muscles . He looks quite handsome even in his 40's . He is looking everywhere as if searching for someone . He has a dark red hair .

" Is this your first visit in konoha ," Izumo asked him . He has never seen this guy in konoha .

" Yes it is my first visit in konoha . My wife lives here now . She called me for the hokage ceremony . If I didn't come she would have divorced me ," The tall man said to them . He looks quite uninterested in ceremony .

" Where your wife lives ? I know all the area in konoha I can tell you the exact location ?" kotetsu said to him . He is quite confident in himself .

" She lives in senju compound . That all the information I have ," Tall man said to them .

At that moment kurenai and her team entered from the gates . They finished a mission and back to village .

" You finished your mission Kurenai san . Could you please help this man to find his wife's house . It is in senju compound . I am unable to leave my post to help this man ," Izumo said to kurenai . Kurenai looked at the tall man like a rare creature .

" It is my first time that I am looking at a man who doesn't know where his wife lives . What is her name . I am not sure if I know her but I will help you ," kurenai said to him . Even she is not sure who this man is searching .

" Her name is Tsunade senju . She now lives in senju compound with my sister and her apprentice . I never visited her parents house so I never knew where her house is in konoha . I wanted to give her a surprise so I came early ," The tall man said to them . All of them looked at him for some time . They were so shocked at his casual behaviour . Team 8 is shocked to see the husband of their future hokage .

" You are lady Tsunade's husband . May I know your name ," Kurenai asked him . She can't believe the rumours were true about her idol's marriage .

" I am menma uzumaki . Looks like you are a jonin of konoha . Do you know my nephew Naruto uzumaki . I heard from my wife that he is a chunin now ," Menma said to them . He looks quite excited when he is talking about his nephew .

" You are Naruto kun's relative . It's nice to meet you ," Hinata said to Menma . She is nervous to meet him . She never met any of Naruto's direct relative .

" Your eye looks like a pearl . My nephew has such a cute girlfriend . Nobody told me about it in the letter ," Menma said to Hinata . She heard his words and became red like a chilly .

" I know where is senju compound . If you don't mind I can take you there ," Kurenai said to Menma . ' If I lead him to senju compound there is a chance I can meet with lady Tsunade ,' Kurenai is thinking about the imaginary meeting with her idol .

" You and your team can lead me to senju compound . After all Naruto lives there and he would be happy to meet his friends and girlfriend ," Menma said to them and they started to lead him towards the senju compound .

...

Senju compound....

Team 8 and Menma walked and reached towards the senju compound . When they were about to enter the compound they were blocked by an invisible wall .

" Why can't we enter in the senju compound ?It's like something is preventing us from entering inside the compound ," Kiba said to them . He never faced this kind of situation .

" It looks like they have put a fuinjutsu barrier to hold down the intruder or those who are not recognised by the fuinjutsu barrier ," Menma said and started to do some handseals . He bite his thumb and put his blood on the invisible wall .

" Let's get inside before the barrier stops you again ," Menma said to them . This time they passed through it easily .

" How did you passed through it . If you never came to konoha ," Kurenai asked him . She is curious about how he solved the fuinjutsu in very short time .

" Whenever an uzumaki or his relatives make a barrier they put some extra fuinjutsu on it . So another uzumaki can easily pass through it . Our blood is used as a key and another person cannot use it . They should know the exact fuinjutsu handseals to lift it ," Menma said to them while walking ahead . Now it feels like he is giving them a tour of senju compound .

Irene and Tsunade are busy in garden when they saw Menma . Tsunade ran towards him at full speed and hugged him .

" You came early Menma . I am becoming hokage tomorrow . I thought you will come on the exact day ," Tsunade said to Menma while releasing him from her bear hug . Menma looked at her and then without thinking he carried her like a baby in his hands . Tsunade is fully red face due to his actions . Even Kurenai and Hinata blushed by his action .

" Brother it's not fair that you only lift Tsunade what about me . If Naruto will see you like this what kind of first impression you will give him ," Irene said to Menma . Anyone can tell she is jealous of Tsunade being carried by Menma .

Menma put Tsunade down and then a figure appeared in front of Menma . It's Naruto who decided to appear through shunshin . But Menma dashed and hugged him .

" Ohh my sweet nephew is here to greet me . I brought a lot of gifts for you . I met your girlfriend and brought her with me . No need to say thank you . I can understand your feelings ," Menma said to Naruto . Hinata never thought that naruto's uncle can explain things like that . Her face looks like a tomato .

" I am still 12 years old uncle and it's embarrassing when you talk like that to me . You can see Hinata is fully red because of your comments ," Naruto said to Menma . Menma just laughed after hearing his words .

Irene came and pulled Menma's ear for talking like that .

" You will never change brother . Your wife is gonna become hokage and you should at least keep that in your mind . So for how many days you are staying this time ," Irene said to Menma . She totally acting like the boss in front of Menma . She released his ear after pulling it roughly .

" You can't boss around my husband . It's my work Irene . You look like a jealous sister whenever he carries me . hehehhehe ," Tsunade said to Irene . Irene pouted at the words of Tsunade .

" We can about it later . You can see I brought some guest with me . I invited them for lunch when they helped me in search of our house . Naruto can spend sometime with his girlfriend ," Menma said to them . Hinata and Naruto both are embarrassed by his words .

" Lady Tsunade , I am Kurenai yuhi , a jonin of konoha . This is my small team , Kiba inuzuka , shino aburame and Hinata hyuga are genins under me ," Kurenai nervously said to tsunade .

" It's great to see a female jonin with a genin squad . Come inside , we can talk during lunch . You all look hungry and my husband might have disturbed you when you were returning from a mission ," Tsunade said to them . She observed them and can tell they are tired from a mission . As a courtesy she offered them lunch with her family .

Kurenai and her team accepted their offer . Tsunade house is much larger than naruto's previous house . It has three floors but in width it is larger than any house they have seen . They can see shizune is already arranging the table for lunch . She welcomed Menma and others .

During the lunch Menma started to tell them what he has seen during his adventure . Shino and kiba attentively listening to his story . Ladies are having their own ladies talk . Hinata is stuck between them . Irene is checking Hinata and gave a small nod as if she is a right choice for naruto .

Root headquarters .....in konoha ...

" Danzo sama , I was ȧssigned near senju compound . I have a important information regarding tsunade senju ," Anbu said to Danzo .

" Speak . I want to know what information you brought regarding tsunade ," Danzo said to him . He is curious about the information .

" Recently a man came with team 8 towards senju compound . He came recently to konoha . From their conversation I think they have met in the gates of konoha . He is the husband of tsunade senju and his hair colour is red . He is an uzumaki . He directly went to senju compound and passed through the barrier with team 8 . When I tried to enter the senju compound after them I was unable to do it ," Root anbu said to Danzo .

" Anything else have you noticed during their conversation ," Danzo asked again . He keeps his eye on everyone . Whether they are his friends or foe .

" He mostly travel around the world . He visited konoha for the first time . That's all Danzo sama . He didn't reveal anything important about him ," Anbu said to Danzo . Danzo signalled him to leave and he left soon afterwards to keep an eye near senju compound . He cannot enter in senju compound because of the barrier .

' Tsunade's husband is in konoha . He might know fuinjutsu . From all the information I got from root spies . He is not a veteran shinobi and he likes to do some odd jobs . If I kill him somehow and put the blame on Kumo and Iwa or any shinobi villages . It will cause a huge war . Tsunade might get furious this time and wage a war against other shinobi villages and country . Even if I couldn't become hokage it doesn't mean I cannot fulfill my goals through other means . It is a golden opportunity for me ,' Danzo is making plans for the upcoming war which nobody has think about . He has a lot of planning to do .

.....

Senju compound....

After Kurenai and her team left the senju compound . Menma transformed himself on Naruto . The other Naruto is a clone who dispelled himself soon afterwards . He looks at tsunade , Irene and shizune .

" It is tiring to act like a ȧduŀt man . I just hope this information will be send to root and other shinobi nation's . After that you can eliminate all the spies of foreign nations in our village ," Naruto said to Tsunade . He is tired from all the acting . To act like a ȧduŀt when you are a child it is not simple .

" May I know why you created this new persona named Menma . I don't mind that you act like my husband . You could have brought Irene as only my cousin ," Tsunade asked him . She is confuse why create her husband in first place .

" Do you know why nobody knows Menma's name wherever demiurge planted evidence . It will play a huge roll in future . That is all I can tell you for now ," Naruto said to tsunade .

" You look quite handsome in your ȧduŀt look as Menma . I didn't mind to have a big brother ," Irene said to Naruto . She is thrilled with this kind of role playing .

" You are so confident in yourself . You know swordsman ship which is smilar to kenjutsu ," Naruto said to her . He is surprised by her attitude .

" Yes Master . I know all about swordsmanship . I can even put cocytus in difficult situation if we are having spars . I praticed kenjutsu styles and mastered it in few days . I can use chakra as it is very similar to magic . Before coming here I praticed a lot of jutsu ," Irene said to Naruto . She provided new information about herself to her master .

" We should sent you to teach in academy as a new teacher or ȧssist tsunade as her secretary with shizune . It is better if you three stick together after she becomes hokage ," Naruto said to them . All of them nodded at his suggestion .

" It will be a great help if I get two secretary . Shizune will also help me in hospital . So it's a nice idea to keep someone in the hokage office all the time . So Danzo will not get to do whatever he likes in my absence ," Tsunade said to them . She likes the idea of Naruto .

" Shizune , have you seen the file of Sasuke . If tsunade operates him then till what time he will fully recover ?" Naruto asked shizune . She thought for a few moments .

" In a week he will be back to do his shinobi duties if tsunade sama operates him today . She operated kakashi as he is in priority list and after him comes Sasuke . Kakashi is already recovering from the effects of tsukuyomi ," Shizune told Naruto . She is surprised because as far she knows Naruto doesn't care about Sasuke .

"Operate him but delay his recovery period . I want orochimaru to wait for him . If someone asks about it . Tell them Sasuke is in growing period so you don't have to rush it . It will not be good for him . One day he will run away from our village . When he runs at that time tsunade will be hokage but we will create certain conditions that root will get this information before anyone else . By the time you will get the information as hokage he would have crossed the border and you will declare him a rogue ninja ," Naruto explained the plan to them . He is sure that even in this timeline he will leave konoha . He wants to become powerful and orochimaru will provide him the knowledge about it .

" It's better to kill him now if he will become a rogue ninja and go against us in the future ," Shizune said to Naruto . She is not a fan of Uchiha clan . She hates arrogant people and Uchiha people are top on the list .

" Their is no need to kill him now . I want him to run away but I will not risk my friends life to bring back a traitor . He is an important piece for me in the future . Any way I will not kill him till itachi is alive . Itachi is already a dying man and I respect him as a shinobi and a person . The day itachi dies , sasuke will be my target number one ," Naruto said to them . He respects itachi from his old world and he thinks Sasuke is blind to forsake everything for revenge . Itachi killed everyone but left him alive to continue his Uchiha line .

" It is tragic story that one brother is so loyal that he killed his own clan and living his life as a traitor which he doesn't deserve . Another brother wants to betray the same village to kill him . Itachi cleaned the name of Uchiha but what Sasuke is going to do will put their clan's name in shame ," Irene said to Naruto . No secrets are hidden from ainz ooal gown's members . Even tsunade and shizune knows about it .

" It is Uchiha clan problem . Obito Uchiha decides to free kyuubi from my mother . He is also the same person who ȧssisted itachi in Uchiha massacre by killing whole Uchiha police force . Uchiha manipulating another Uchiha . They should not have dragged us in their mess . It is not the first time someone is gonna cast infinite tsukuyomi . Kaguya the mother of sage of six paths did it many times but you can see the world is still same as before . It is full of war . Peace is seen only on surface . Pain will not change it . It will only increase the war ," Naruto said to them and remembered his mother's death . Whenever he thinks about Uchiha clan other than itachi and shisui Uchiha he gets angry . Especially when he thinks about Madara and Obito .

" So what do you think about infinite tsukuyomi ? Do we have to stop it or we have to take advantage of it ?" Tsunade asked him . She is curious about this part as it is not known by anyone except demiurge and albedo .

" I want them to cast it but there is a twist . We will take full advantage of infinite tsukuyomi . It will be 'the rise of ainz ooal gown' . Their plan will backfire on them but it will be a golden opportunity for us . Everything is secret about that day . Demiurge is already preparing for it ," Naruto gave some hints about his future plans . He will put devil to shame when it comes to cruelity .

Naruto discussed with them about tomorrow's ceremony where tsunade will become the fifth hokage .

...

Next day .....Hokage tower ....

Tsunade arrived with her full family for the ceremony . Menma , shizune , Irene and Naruto are there with her . All the people of konoha are waiting for the announcement .

Danzo arrived with a heavy heart . Hiruzen is laughing and chatting with his two advisors koharu and hamura . Both of them are happy that their old friend hiruzen is going to retire . They are quite worried about his mental health all the time but they will be tension free from today . He will join them as an advisor of the new hokage after the ceremony .

Konohamaru didn't believe that his grandpa is retiring from the hokage post . But when asuma told him that first hokage's granddaughter is going to inherit the post from his father he became happy that he still has a chance like her for that post . He is standing with asuma and team 10 and looking towards the roof of hokage tower .

Hiruzen and other important members are standing in the roof of hokage tower . After tsunade arrived with her family they started the official program . Naruto and Danzo looked at each other for a few seconds .

' So this is the jinchuriki of kyuubi . He looks more fierce than minato . He has a dangerous aura around him . Maybe Kumo shinobi will die in his hands when they will encounter him ," Danzo is thinking about Naruto . With his life long war experience he can tell Naruto is very dangerous .

' Danzo is checking me . If I doesn't know about him . I would have thought he is one crazy guy to check on the young people . Your number will come Danzo . I will eliminate you myself before Sasuke has a chance to kill you ,' Naruto has other thoughts about him . He is not Sasuke who will give him easy death .

Hiruzen walked towards the front place of hokage's roof from where he is seen to everyone .

" I am so happy to retire for the second time . You gave your love and support to me for more than fifty years as your hokage . I have chosen my successor who will become your fifth hokage . I am proud as a sensei that it is one of my student . In the history of whole elemental nation she will become the first female kage . So please welcome your fifth hokage Tsunade senju uzumaki ," Hiruzen said loudly to them . All the people gave a round of cheers for their new hokage .

Hiruzen gave the Hokage's hat to Tsunade . She took the hat and wear it as the custom and waved her hands to the audience . She officially became the fifth hokage .
