Chapter: The Mother Alliance and the Ghost of the Fourth
Konohagakure no Sato: The Nara Clan Compound
It had been nearly thirty minutes since Uzumaki Naruto arrived at the party. He had already met with the birthday boy, Shikamaru, who—true to form—found even his own birthday celebration "troublesome."
He had met with his big-eater friend, Chōji, who had spent the last half-hour recommending an exhaustive list of dishes and cuisines from the banquet spread. Even his Yamanaka friend, Ino, was partaking in today's feast without a single care about her usual "lady-like" image.
Everything was going according to his "plan." But alas, just as good times don't last long, how could someone with the status of a Jinchūriki and an "unwanted" Demon Fox have an easy time anywhere—especially at a prestigious celebration?
(........When will this be over?) Naruto thought, his mental stamina reaching its limit.
"Here Naruto-chan, take this dango," a voice cooed.
The one in front of him was the Matriarch of the Nara Clan and the mother of his friend. Yoshino Nara, after a very short and heavy introduction, seemed to have forgotten all personal boundaries.
".....yes." Nom. Nom.
One dish after another. Somehow, the women seemed to think he was a malnourished child who had never been taken care of in his entire life. Questions after questions about his daily life followed the food.
When do you wake up?
You wake up early and go jogging? Amazing.
What do you eat for breakfast?
Naruto-kun can cook? Amazing.
You also train after the Academy? Amazing.
You also do a part-time job? Amazing!
The Nara lady seemed to have accepted an overly concerned "Grandma" role, especially when she started feeding him the food herself. But this was not the only reason for Uzumaki Naruto's discomfort. A single woman couldn't stop his Hokage Path or his Will.
But then...
"Ara, if it isn't Naruto-chan! How lively, Yoshino."
"Ahh Kaoru, you are here! Come," Yoshino gestured.
"...Greetings, Auntie," Naruto managed.
Yamanaka Kaoru, the Yamanaka Matriarch and Ino's mother, joined the fray. Naruto already knew her from Ino's shop; he had been visiting the Yamanaka Flower Shop from time to time to buy flowers for his apartment
" What are you doing , Yoshino" Yamanaka Kaoru asked, her eyes twinkling
"Look at Naruto-chan, so diligent! I will make sure my Shika learns something from him,"
" Ho , Now That I think about it , My girl also seems to have changed because of Naruto-chan "
"Huh ?"
And Somehow Naruto got double-teamed by two Mother's , Now just there questions and invasion in his personal space , but also their overly enthusiastic attitude towards his well-being .
" Hooo , Naruto-chan has already infuated our Ino then "
" Hmmm Hmmmmm , So what did you do Naruto-chan "
" But I Didn't do anything Aunt "
At this moment an unexpected intruder appeared
" Here Mochi "
" eh"
"eh"
" ehhh"
And another Chubby mother intruded the circle with bunch of mochi , At this Naruto seems to have already guessed her identity
" ah Uta , you are here too "
" Even if you want to trouble the kid , at least do it after he is fed "
" Hummm you are right , alright Naruto chan let's begin the feast "
" Ara I am also hungry for food and gossip too "
" Here kidddo , Mochi "Uta pressed the snack toward him.
" hah???"
Surrounded by the Ino-Shika-Chō Alliance, Naruto decided to brace himself for the future battle. So began the grand feast of the Jinchūriki.
Only after twenty minutes did the "Greatest Hokage of all time" decide to use his Lv. 3 Dynamic Vision and Lv. 2 Keen Eye skill to look for reinforcements.
But there was no sign of Shikamaru. There was no sign of Ino either.
there was no sign of Shikamaru .
There was no sign of Ino either .
There was no sign of the gentle Choji either .
" Naruto- kun , say Ahhhh " x3
( They abandoned me , ...Lone Wolf Activate )
=======================
While Uzumaki Naruto was too preoccupied to focus on his surroundings, he failed to realize that his goal for the day had already been overachieved—and it had happened within just thirty minutes of the celebration party starting.
Every eye in the room was drawn toward the three Matriarchs. The crowd of guests—a mix of various clans, high-ranking shinobi, and even prestigious civilians of Konoha—all watched the boy who was receiving such an "enthusiastic" welcome from the heads of the renowned Ino-Shika-Cho Alliance.
This was no mere greeting or formal small talk. They had already spent nearly thirty minutes with the boy.
It had begun with the Nara Matriarch, followed by the Yamanaka Matriarch, and now even the Akimichi Matriarch had joined in. Their protective and welcoming attitude spoke volumes.
Finally, the crowd shifted their full focus onto the boy, racking their brains to place the blonde child.
Nearly ten years of age, blonde hair, blue eyes, and those remarkable whiskers that were now slightly harder to notice. As people of status and intellect, many reached the same conclusion instantly:
The Jinchuriki.
The so-called S-rank secret was a joke to many of the elite attending this celebration; to them, the identity of the "Demon Fox" was no secret at all.
However, after looking closer, the shinobi senses of the guests began to tingle. Even those with purely political instincts noticed something shifting in the air.
Then, the whispering began.
" .....That kid is quite handsome "
" Right not cute but handsome "
" Blue eyes "
" That Blonde hair look bright "
" ...Like sunshine "
" Did you notice that hairstyle "
" Hmmm "
"....."
" That Kid looks a lot like Fourth ......no way "
" Stop dreaming that's Demon-fox"
" yeah The Jinchuriki "
" .....he seems near 10 year old .....right "
" But Kushina sama passed away with the child "
" yeah ....Tailed beast breaking seal means death "
" ....But What if ?"
" Stop there , don't be delusional "
".... He looks a lot alike "
" His name seems to be Uzumaki "
" ....Uzumaki "
" There was only one Uzumaki in the village at that time "
" isn't he orphan , why can he dine with them "
" The kid's been eating nonstop "
" Amazing "
" Yeah why are they so enthusiatic with that kid "
" Kushina-sama was friends with them .....right "
" ...yeah "
"Did you notice that hairstyle? The way it's pulled back but falls in the front?"
" SO "
" Shhhhhhhh"
" I also want to be fed with some Oku-san"
" Believe in Third Hokage "
" don't speak blasphormous things "
" Something's fishy "
"Is he really an orphan? Why is he dining with the Matriarchs like a long-lost nephew?"
" It's been 30 minutes , maybe he is Akimichi's "
" you say Kushina-sama and Akimichi "
" My legs are tired "
" Let's sit somewhere "
" Maybe Minato-sama and some Akimichi"
" .....let's talk with the Nara Head "
" Now..!!"
" .....together , let's gather more people "
"He's almost ten... the math adds up."
" That Shikaku is definitly cooking something with this celebration "
" Look The Hyuga are here "
" Should we approach "
" Inuzuka are here too "
" Where are Aburame "
" .......we are here for some time "
" .....woahhh My Heart"
" Is that kid really fourth's legacy ??"
" Maybe the seal broke after the childbirth "
Those who knew more began to piece it together, reaching conclusions that were frightening in their own right.
After all, everyone knew of the "Demon Fox" and his infamous stunts across the village, but now the context was shifting.
Minds clicked. Gazes narrowed. Long-held beliefs wavered, and for many, a sudden surge of guilt replaced their previous disdain. Disbelief swept through the crowd like a cold wind.
Tucked away in a corner of the room were three men who knew more than most, yet had still been fed the official lie by the Third Hokage: that the Fourth Hokage and his entire family had perished.
They were the elite guards of the late Minato Namikaze:
Genma Shiranui, Iwashi Tatami, and Raido Namiashi.
Their discussion was hushed, voices tight with suppressed realization.
"...Genma."
"Hmm."
"But the Third Hokage said—"
"S-rank secret, Iwashi. Remember."
"Still... what if?"
"Yeah," Raido muttered, his eyes fixed on the boy. "That kid looks exactly like him."
"Let's approach the Nara Clan Head."
"Hmm."
"...Yeah."
The Fourth Hokage's guard squad had never forgotten their role or the honor of serving their leader. Despite the political turmoil brewing in the village, they moved as one toward Shikaku Nara.
The guard squad may have only consisted of these three men, but they represented something much larger: they stood as the vanguard for the loyal civilian-born shinobi who had once supported Minato Namikaze.
And "coincidentally," quite a lot of those loyalists were in attendance today.
The Side of the Clans was also in turmoil , with Ino-Shika-cho Matriachs leading , they were much more prone and eager to know this mystery , especially for their gain against Hokage and his Council in these days.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at center of crowd and pinpointed the cause without even using his Byakugan and he was also shaken with the implication behind
( .....Why is the kid here , Whether its Jinchuriki identity or his similar looks .....does Third Doesn't understand what it means ...or is he allowing it ??)
Just when Hiashi was lost in his thoughts , His Wife came close to him to inquire too
" Dear "
" Hmm?? yes "
" Should I join too "
"..."
" Soo "
" you know this will give a very big message here "
" Hmmm "
" ....take Hinata with you "
" Alright "
And so the Hyuga Matriach took the hand of her distracted daughter who seems to be totally in her own world .
" Hina- chan "
".... Mother "
" Let's go "
"...where ??"
" hehe , To make new friends....><"
" ???? "
===========================
While the Celebration was going outside , The atmosphere in a side room , which was already converted into a meeting hall was tense .
A lot of Civilian Shinobi's have noticed the Village Clan's movements and also their Leader Nara Shikaku .
When they got the invitation for today , they all noticed the implication behind and most of them came only to give attendence without any intention to choose sides .
Quite a few didn't even attend and There are already some who were not even invited .
Nobody had intentions to listen to the Nara Head Before
But that changed instantly just after arriving , and so after a single invitation from The servants , they were all present in the meeting hall .
The Nara Clan Head at the front looked at everyone while musing to himself
( It became pretty easy ...... I was ready to bleed today but that Kid )
Remembering Naruto and his change of style , that is gonna shake whole Konoha and the consequences of it , Nara Shikaku massaged his head and spoke up
" The let's Begin "
====================================
" Yo kid How about you eat some meat "
Naruto was terrified to see Inuzuka Tsume also appearing with some excuse and reinforcing the Mother Alliance
" Who's the cute kid , Yoshino San "
" Oh Hitomi san , It seems the Hyuga are here too "
" It's Naruto-kun , he is classmate of Ino and others in the Academy "
" Oh My , My Hinata is also in the same class then "
" Greeting Aunt , my name is Uzumaki Naruto "
" How polite , I am Hyuga Hitomi , Mother of your classmate Hinata ....come on Hinata-chan introduce youself "
"..."
"Hinata-chan....hinata hinata ....hina chan ...you ok "
" oh my what happened "
" the kids face is red "
" should we call a doctor "
" come on lets go in a seperate room "
And In this Way Hinata saves Naruto against all odds , She didn't hesitate to sacrifice herself and This Situation again reminded Naruto why Hinata is the only one who will support him against everything .
And Naruto finally gains a respite after the nonstop chattering and overly enthusiastic Mother Alliance .
Or Not
" Haha don't worry , I am still here Kiddo " Inuzuka Tsume
" right Yoshino will take care of everything " Ino's Mom
" I still haven't asked what your favourite food is " Choji'Mom
looking at Mother Alliance still goinf strong , Naruto had only one thought left
( FUCK YOU 'WILL OF FIRE' )
