Naruto raised an eyebrow but did not comment on the man's stupidity, instead he turned to Tsunade. "Hokage-Sama is the thirds law still in effect?"
"Er… well yes," Tsunade answered in an unsure tone.
"Good," Naruto said before turning back to Denbe, "it's too bad you don't have a family, otherwise I might have let you live."
Before the man could even open his mouth Naruto threw one of his Hiraishin Kunai, before disappearing and reappearing right next to the man in a flash of yellow, with a Rasengan in hand. Naruto plunged the sphere right into the man's head, making it explode and shower gore on all of the civilian council members. Many of the civilians went wide eyed, as they began to shake in fear from seeing all of the gore and more than a few were unable to hold in their lunches. The few who were not as affected were shaking like a leaf in the wind, as they stared at Naruto who was eyeing them all with a cold expression.
Said shinobi was walking behind the civilians, forcing them to turn in order to look at him; while he spun the tri pronged kunai in his hand in a lazy fashion. "I seem to be finding myself very disappointed with the stupidity of this council," Naruto started in a near lazy drawl. Many of the council wanted to protest, but the odd feeling of death that had come to them stopped their tongues cold. Meanwhile Naruto continued on headless to their problems, "after the number of times I had protected Konoha, I would have thought you would have all realized by now that I am not the Kyuubi. I am no more the Kyuubi then a sealing scroll is the kunai that's been sealed into it. However if I was the Kyuubi, then don't you think that provoking me as you have for the first twelve years of my life might not have been the best choice. If I really was the Kyuubi, then all of you would be dead by now for what you put me through." he paused here as he made his way to the center of the chamber, letting many of the councilors think on what he had just said. In truth many had to wonder about that, it was true after all. If Naruto had really been the Kyuubi, then Konoha would have most likely been destroyed long ago. When Naruto got to the center of the chamber he continued, "however what bothers me more than your treatment of me. Is the way you claim to hail my father as one of your greatest ninja, and yet you continue to show such blatant disrespect! My father not only gave his own life, but the life of his own son so that all of you could be safe! He sacrificed everything for you! And all he asked in return was that the child, HIS child be treated as a hero! And yet you took that request and stomped on it! Treating the child like he was less then dirt! Hailing the father and damning the son!" Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "if my father were alive right now he would be ashamed of you. In fact I'm almost positive that he is rolling in his grave right now." Naruto locked eyes with each and every member of the council, with eyes that were so dead even Itachi would shiver. "I want each and every one of you to consider this; would you have treated your own child the way I was treated if they had been used for the sealing instead of me?" With his piece said Naruto went back over to his seat, sitting down with a soft sigh.
Many on the council looked at him with varied emotions; those on the shinobi side were looking at him with awe and respect. But many were also looking at him in shame, knowing that they were just as guilty as the civilian side for not being there for the boy. The civilians were looking at Naruto with a mixture of contemplation and some even in shame, though only time would tell how they were truly going to take it.
Tsunade closed her mouth as she got over her own shock, "I agree with Namikaze-san, I am disappointed in how he has been treated throughout the years. I hope this will be a lesson for all of you…" Tsunade paused for a moment before deciding that a subject change was needed, "now that this is out of the way I would like to discuss the renewing of our trade agreement with Nami No Kuni. And would the Anbu please take that body away!"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto gave a heavy sigh as he sat on the couch in the Hokage's office, "man that was hard…"
"Really?" Tsunade asked with a raised eyebrow as she went over behind her desk, "I thought you did really good."
"Maybe," Naruto said as Tsunade sat down next to him with a bottle of sake and two saucers in hand. "My my baa-chan, drinking on the job are we?" Naruto smirked at her, "for shame."
"Shut up gaki," Tsunade said as she poured some sake into the saucers before taking one of them. "With all the paper work and crap I have to do, I think I deserve a drink every now and then."
Naruto gave a small chuckle as he grabbed the other saucer, sipping some of the sake and letting it burn down his throat. "Is this the Kumo imported rice sake?" Naruto asked as he took another sip.
"It is," Tsunade said with a grin as she sipped some of her own, "sounds like your into sake just as much as I am, if you know that. So you have no right to complain to me about drinking."
Naruto took another sip before he grinned at her, "maybe but since I can't get drunk anyways it doesn't really matter. Besides that, I'm not the Hokage."
Tsunade humped before the two fell silent for a moment, quietly drinking their sake. After awhile Tsunade spoke up, "when do you think you can have a demonstration for the seals you plan on making?"
Naruto frowned in thought as he poured himself some more sake, "well the first thing I have to do is find a store that specializes in ninja ware. I'm thinking of going to the Higarashi weapons store since I know Tenten, after that I'll schedule the demonstration. As for the seals," Naruto paused in thought before continuing, "they should be done by the end of the week. Most of them are actually things I've been working on for a long time, so they won't take much longer to finish."
Tsunade nodded, "let me know when you plan on doing the demonstration and I'll inform the council."
"You mean the shinobi council right?" Naruto said with a grin.
Tsunade matched his grin with one of her own and nodded in agreement. After the discussions on trade and other commerce agreements, Tsunade had been going to start discussing shinobi affairs, such as the academy teachings and budget. Before that could happen Naruto had once again helped Tsunade by kicking out the civilian council, they had of course protested by claiming they had a right to be there. Naruto had just countered their claims by reminding them that, according to the law set down by the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage's they had no right to involve themselves in shinobi affairs. "Of course, now why don't you tell me about your training trip with Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked.
