Chapter 4: An Abnormal day of healing

Naruto took the time to knock Jiraiya out once he entered his operating room and then used a Room to strip him of all his clothes. He was a professional after all and he was not one to shy away from a male's naked body. So while Jiraiya was out, he took a blood sample, measurements of his body as well as his penis length, girth, and shape. Once he had all the information that he needed to know, he got the materials he needed to mix together to make the concoction that would enhance a man's penis size depending on what they wanted.

Jiraiya had stated that he wanted his penis to become as big as physically possible, and he would do just that since the man was a paying customer and he was a fan of his book. His body was capable of growing up to at least ten and a half inches in length with the girth that was the size of a soda can. So once the mixture was complete, he placed it into a syringe and held Jiraiya's penis before he stabbed it into the vein. As he pushed the plunger down, the size slowly grew as well until it reached the maximum amount that he was able to. Now that all was done, he replaced Jiraiya's clothes back onto his body before he took out a pill that he snapped under his nose, doing so caused Jiraiya to wake up with a start.

"Holy crap!" said Jiraiya in surprise, but then again he had not expected to be knocked out like he had been so it was understandable.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty," said Naruto with a chuckle, "the operation was a success."

"Already," asked Jiraiya with a start as his hands went to his pants to feel his now enlarged appendage. "Well hot damn! You truly work miracles as they say you do."

"Well I do the best I can," said Naruto with a smile and a shrug, "but now if you would be so kind as to pay me what is owed." Naruto then handed him a slip of paper that had the bill on it. Jiraiya took one look at it before he pulled out his wallet and handed Naruto the amount in full. This operation had been worth every cent!

"Now to find myself a date and get me some sweet loving," said Jiraiya with a laugh as his confidence was boosted exponentially with the increase of his size.

"I would advise against that," said Naruto with a shake of his head, "your body needs to adjust to the growth in size. If you were to try and do what you planned to do too much blood would flow into your genitals and you would faint due to it."

"Wait a minute," said Jiraiya in shock, "so you are saying that you made it bigger but I can't use it?"

"For the next several days at least," said Naruto as he walked over to his desk and grabbed two small bags with pills. "Now before you go take these."

"What are these," asked Jiraiya as he took the drugs.

"Pills to help you," said Naruto with a smirk. "The red ones will help regulate your blood flow until it happens naturally. The blue ones are essentially so you don't pop a stiffy until your body adapts."

"Why would you give me those ones?"

Naruto simply raised an eyebrow with a 'really' look on his face.

"Right," said Jiraiya with a slight laugh, "dumb question."

"Yet before you go I have a question for you," asked Naruto as he pulled out his cane and leaned on it.

"Okay," said Jiraiya as he folded his arms, "shoot."

"Do you know of a cloning technique that I can use?"

"Why would you ask me that," asked Jiraiya with a confused look on his face.

"In my line of work," said Naruto with a sigh since he was speaking truthfully about the situation, "I am in high demand to help heal so many people. The problem with that is that I am only one man and so I have to go out and gather materials, and when I do that I can't heal people while I get the necessary materials. I tried using a cloning technique of my own that uses my bloodline, but since it is one made of my blood the drawback to it is that I need the same amount of blood as a normal human being. I have been able to collect blood to do it, but it is fairly impractical in use. So I thought to ask you since you have been around and would most likely know one or two I could use. I assure you that it is not for anything nefarious, it's just so I can be in two places at once so that I can gather and heal at the same time."

"Well," said Jiraiya as he thought about it for a bit. He knew of one specific clone jutsu, but it was one used solely by those who resided in Konoha, and even then it was used by their strongest members at that. Now at first he was against telling Naruto about it, but Naruto did make a good point about how it would aid him in his medical practice. "I do know of one that would help you. Now while I am capable of teaching it to you, I want your word that you will not use it against the shinobi of our village in any way."

"You have my word as the Surgeon of Death," said Naruto seriously, "I only wish to use it to gather the materials I need to heal while still healing. I am a neutral party to all shinobi matters, so I only defend against those who attack me and do not seek out opponents to fight. I am a doctor, not a shinobi."

"Well then," said Jiraiya. He showed Naruto the proper hand signs to activate the Shadow Clone Jutsu, which Naruto copied and used himself. This put a smile on his face since he was being completely honest about his intentions for the jutsu and with that he summoned a door and sent the clone he made through it to pay a visit to one of his friends he bought materials from. Now that he had a building he could order large quantities to be delivered to said building.

"I thank you," said Naruto as he held his hand out to shake Jiraiya's hand, "with this I will be able to heal so many more people."

"You are welcome," said Jiraiya as he saw Naruto summon up another door that led back to the village, "but while we are on the subject, is there any way that I could convince you to join our village?"

"Ha," laughed Naruto. He knew that there would be a few attempts to try and get him to settle down in the village, "one out of three it seems…"

"'One out of three?'" asked Jiraiya with a quizzical look on his ace since that was quite the odd thing to hear out of the blue.

"Well," said Naruto as he thought about it for a second. Jiraiya may be a spymaster for the village of Konoha, but there was no real harm in explaining what he meant since it wasn't really crucial or even vital information. "Allow me to explain a bit. Every time I enter any of the major villages, or sometimes even when I enter a minor one, the people there try no less than three times to try and get me to join up and set up shop there. But each time I decline their offers, and believe me when I say that they offer me a lot to stay."

"But why don't you settle down," asked Jiraiya, "it would make life easier for you since you would be safer in a village then on the road as a nomad."

"Medicine is a universal thing," said Naruto as he shook his head, "and as such it is not limited to one place. I am a one of a kind doctor who heals all who pay me, and since I am wandering about as a nomad my client list is far larger."

"Just how much money do you make," asked Jiraiya, "if you don't mind me asking you."

"More than I could possibly spend in one lifetime," said Naruto simply. This was true, since he had so many clients who paid and even though there were those he helped for free out of the kindness of his heart, albeit with threats of harm if they ever tell people about it due to the act that he wanted to maintain his image, he still made so much. But he did not use most of that money for himself. He had four funds that he kept separate. One was used to buy ingredients as well as materials he needed to make his medicine. The second was the smallest, which he used for his own needs which he simplified to food and clothes. He grew up poor and did not need much since that was how he was raised. The third was in an account that he left alone and only added to bit by bit. This one was saved for when he started a family in the future since raising one took money.

The last one was the largest that he had under his name. The vast majority of the money he made was used to fund fourteen different orphanages that were all over the Elemental Countries. He knew how it was to be without parents, and so he used his money to make sure those orphans got the things they needed, as well as free healthcare as they lived there.

He had been doing this for the past three years, with each of them getting a renovation since they were in need of repairs, as well as eliminating the person in charge since they were all greedy assholes who were embezzling the money meant to help the children into their own accounts. Naruto found various trustworthy people to run the places and the children were happy. To them he was the big brother who they always wanted. While it was true that they may be orphans, with Naruto around they all truly felt as though they had family.

"But I have taken more than enough of your time," said Naruto as he opened the door and gestured Jiraiya to leave, "and I must prepare myself for tomorrow."

"What's happening tomorrow?"

"Word spreads fast in this village," said Naruto simply, "so I will set up a small booth and help those who pay me. That's pretty much my day all tomorrow."

"Well," said Jiraiya with a smirk on his face. He was happy about the enhancement he had done to himself. He couldn't wait until he was able to get him some once these few days were up and his body adapted. He might just try his luck and go for Tsunade like old times. Who knows, she might just give in once she saw what he was now packing. Ah, what a day that would be! "You have fun with that. Good luck."

"You too," said Naruto as he held out his hand to shake Jiraiya's. Jiraiya shook his hand and then left through the door. Naruto followed suit and sent the door away as he once more set out towards his hotel room. He stopped halfway when the memories of his clone flooded his mind. He didn't know that he would inherit the memories of the clone, since it was not the case with the blood clones he made. But in all honesty it only helped in the long run. But eventually he made his way to his room, this time he had one to himself while Kurotsuchi and Haku shared one.

As he was brewing himself a cup of tea, he was unaware of a shinobi that entered the room under his own. This shinobi was one of Danzo's ROOT forces, one that was a member of the Yamanaka clan. He had his orders, which were absolute. He was under the orders to wait for it to get late in the night, and when Naruto was at his most vulnerable, infiltrate his mind and implant the suggestions to settle down in the village of Konoha. The ROOT shinobi got comfortable as he sat in his chair, as he patiently waited for the time when he would complete his order…

(Several Hours later)

Naruto was up and about late in the night. He had taken one of his anti-sleep deprivation pills to keep himself awake. He was in the process of developing a concoction that he planned to use in future and he was having a breakthrough so he didn't want to sleep and lose it. He had just finished writing down how to replicate the process for the future when out of nowhere he heard a knock on his door. At first he thought it was Haku, but that was unlikely since he had asked her to stay away while in this village. He had explained that this village, mainly Minato, would use any if any tactic to force him to remain within the village. So while here they were simply squad mates.

So with his curiosity peaked, he made his way to the door and opened it up to see who it was. H would have looked through a peephole first, but hotel rooms don't have one so he simply prepared the wires in his glove just on the off chance that this was an abduction attempt of some sort. But to his utmost surprise, it was not an ambush or an attack of any kind. In fact the person standing there was the absolute last person he expected to see in this given situation.

Standing there was the wife of Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki…

"Hello there," she said with a kind voice to try and ease the tension.

"Sorry," said Naruto as the initial shock faded away, "but if you are here for medical purposes you will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll have everything prepared by then."

"I didn't come for medical reasons," said Kushina with a slight wave of her hand.

"Now that I have gotten a good look at you I can see you are in peak health," said Naruto, "but if you are not here for medical purposes why are you here?"

"May I come in?"

"Well sure," said Naruto as he waved her in and closed the door behind him. "Please tell me that this isn't a late night booty call, because I am flattered, but I'm already taken."

Kushina stopped mid step for a second before she began to laugh at the random response.

"No, that is not the reason I have come," said Kushina as she stopped laughing, "I would also like to state that I am a married woman."

"You think that changes things," said Naruto with a sigh, "I have had a few offers from married women who have offered themselves as payment for my services or trying to get me to join their village."

"And let me guess," chuckled Kushina. She was a mother who understood hormones, and since this man was most likely sixteen years old he was probably the type of guy to accept pussy thrown at him if offered. "You went along with it and still did not join."

"No on all accounts," said Naruto as he sat down in one of the chairs in his room, "since my mind is used more for science than the pleasures of the flesh. Don't get me wrong, I am no virgin, I am just not a whore nor will I accept sex as a payment since it does not pay the bills or for materials. But enough about that, why are you here?"

"Truthfully," said Kushina with a serious face, "simple curiosity alone."

"Curious as to what exactly," asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow.

"Your parents," asked Kushina as he looked the young man in the eye to ensure that he spoke the truth, "who were they?"

"Why do you wish to know who my parents were," asked Naruto with a bit of a glare. For some reason he did not like where this conversation was going.

"You called my daughter your sister in Wave when she and her squad were there for a mission. I want to know why."

"Is that all this is about," said Naruto as he began to laugh hard. "Because I called her that? I only said that that to get her off guard and it worked."

"Why did you need her off guard," asked Kushina.

"Her squad had nearly killed my friends," said Naruto simply, "so I distracted them long enough to get them to safety."

"But still," said Kushina, who knew deep in her gut that there was more to this story than what was being told, "who were your parents?"

"I only ever knew my mother," said Naruto sadly, "her name was Moka. She had no family other than me, and she died when I was only five. She meant everything to me, and it nearly destroyed me when she passed away, so a simple word of warning, never disrespect her in my presence."

"I mean no disrespect," said Kushina, "and I am sorry to hear that your mother passed on so soon. But who was your father?"

"To be honest," said Naruto with a shake of his head, "I don't know who he is. He abandoned us to fend for ourselves, and I never met him in my life."

"That must have been hard on such a young man like yourself," said Kushina in a motherly tone with sympathy since she actually cared, "if it is any consolation, my homeland as well as the vast majority of my clan was killed off in the Second Shinobi War. So I know how it feels to lose family."

"I know that you are trying to be sympathetic," said Naruto with a sigh, "but your clan was well known for their proficiency in seals and their strength. I was the son of an unknown man and a woman who people don't even know. Her tombstone has nothing more than the date of death along with her name. People will remember your family for years, and yet no one will remember mine. So please don't compare us since we are not alike."

"Well I am sorry if I hit a sour note," started Kushina before she felt a pressure send a cold shiver up her spine.

"You came to my room in the middle of the night and demand to know who my parents were," growled Naruto. Family was a tender subject to him and to be reminded that he no longer had one only infuriated him, "for what? To mock me? To do as so many have in my youth and insult me for being worthless? I worked my ass off to get where I am today with my infamous reputation. I had no clan name to coast off of, and I made a name for myself."

"I meant no disrespect with my inquiry," said Kushina as she began to worry that Naruto would attack her out of the blue.

"Well you have," said Naruto simply as he pointed to the door, "now leave me be. And warn your daughter that when we fight in these exams, I will hold nothing back."

Those were the last words Kushina heard before the door was shit in her face. She could only stand there for a bit and wonder about the information that was just told to her. The main thing about him having an apparent vendetta against her daughter as well as the fact he was participating in the exams was something that shocked her. If this was the case, she needed to make sure that her daughter was prepared to fight against him, and so she set out to perform some intense last minute training with her daughter…

As she left, Naruto could only chuckle to himself since that had worked better than he had thought. He was not really pissed about what had been said, he just wanted Kushina to leave so as to end the conversation before she pried too deep into his history. He knew exactly who his father was, and he would make him pay dearly in the end. He took a few steps so as to pack up his tools as well as his books, but his body fell forward as his mind went blank…

(Mindscape)

Naruto woke up with a headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw a massive hospital before him and as he saw it he knew exactly where he was. Faust had always told him about organizing one's mind in a familiar setting, and a hospital was the place he was most familiar with. He knew the exact reason he was in his mind, and it only pissed him off immensely as he knew the reason.

He always feared that someone would fuck with his mind like Ino did years ago in his youth, but unfortunately he had no means to make himself immune to the Yamanaka family jutsu. He had tried to find a means, and yet all he was able to do was develop a seal that would slow down the process so that he could expel the intruder of his mind out of it. While he was no master of sealing like the Uzumaki, he got by with what little he could do. He was strong willed, this he had learned in time, so he was capable of doing so.

His memories were represented as files like in any hospital that were located underground under lock and key, and he had the various rooms filled with the usual medical equipment, but were void of anything vital. He saw as a portion of the hospital's lights flickered out for a bit before the lights burned out. That was where the intruder was located, and his eyes turned to ones filled with rage as he summoned up a lever on the wall and pulled it hard. As he did, an alarm sounded throughout the facility, and the sprinklers activated. But the thing about these sprinklers was that they were not spraying water…

It was blood…

The intruder to his mind had spent what felt like hours searching for the location of Naruto's memories so as to complete his mission when he heard the alarm go off. This surprised him since he shouldn't have known that his mind was being invaded at all. But what made it worse was the fact that the sprinklers sprayed blood instead of water. He became drenched in the thick liquid, and as he was he became stuck in place for reason that he was not able to understand.

"So," said Naruto who appeared near the man, and with a click of his fingers the lights returned to the area, "This is the man who invaded my mind."

"How is this possible," growled the man emotionlessly, "you should not be here."

"Well this is my mind," said Naruto with a growl of his own. He had a few encounters with shinobi who wore masks like this one before, and all he could get out of them was they were a member of ROOT, and nothing else. "So you should have thought of that before you invaded it."

"You will serve my master," said the man, "you have no choice in the matter."

"I would try and get information out of you," said Naruto as he pulled the mask off the man's face. And like all the other ROOT shinobi he had faced over the years he was paled faced and devoid of emotion. And just like the rest of them, he most likely had a seal on him to keep him from talking and divulging information. "But it would be for nothing. Tell whoever your master is that I serve no man, and I never will."

Naruto then used the blood surrounding him to form the curved blade on the edge of his cane to make a scythe. He then quickly decapitated the man, whose body dissolved once dead. Naruto growled as he snapped his fingers, which made all the blood disappear so that the place was clean as it was before all this happened. With a sigh, he quickly vanished from his own mind since his work was done and the intruder was banished from his mind…

(The next day)

Naruto had woken up early to get up and go find a good spot to set up his temporary shop. And since he had been born here he knew exactly where he wanted to go put it, which was dead center in the village square, in plain view of anyone and everyone who came this way. He sat there for about forty minutes before he got his first customer.

The process was quite simple. The customer would talk to him about their problem they needed medical help for, and then depending on what was ailing them Naruto would hand them the proper paperwork which they would then fill out. The paperwork helped to identify the exact problem they had, and then he would sign off on it and place the price in the box left blank for that exact reason. The first customer came to him since he had a severed muscle in his arm so that he could no longer use it. Naruto showed him the price, which he was paid, and the customer left happy that he was able to use both arms again.

To be honest, the man was lucky since healing a severed muscle was cheaper than reattaching a severed limb. He could do it easily but it still cost more. Once the man left, more people showed up to get aid such as he had. And within a few hours there was a crowd of people who appeared to fill out the proper paperwork. Out of all the people who came to see him this day, only three people really stood out.

The first was Anko Mitarashi, the former student to the traitorous Sannin known as Orochimaru.

"So I hear that you are the infamous Surgeon of Death," she said as she appeared while eating a stick of dango.

"That I am," said Naruto with a chuckle. He had heard this said to him multiple times for years as well as at least a dozen times today alone. "So what exactly can I help you with today?"

"Well I need help with a bit of a personal matter," said Anko sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head.

"So what STD do you want me to eliminate," said Naruto with a smirk. He saw Anko look shocked as she heard him ask that before she began to growl.

"I don't have an STD!" she shouted in anger.

"Well that's good to know," said Naruto with a smirk, "do you hear that men? She is clean!" Naruto herd men in the crowd begin to laugh as he said that since it was funny. But as they laughed it only made Anko angry that she was being made fun of as well as being made out as some sort of whore.

"I'll kill you for that!" Shouted Anko in feminine rage.

"Greater people have tried," said Naruto simply. "But all kidding aside, what can I do for you?"

"Well I hear you perform what many consider miracles," said Anko with a bit of a sad tone. "And to be honest I have been trying to find someone who could help me for years and yet they could not. So I'm desperate at this point."

"Please tell me what is ailing you and I'll see what I can do to help you."

"When I was younger, my old teacher placed one of his curse seals on my body."

"So you want to see if I can remove it," asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow as he heard this, "well show me the mark and I'll tell you what I can do."

Anko leaned her head over and pulled her coat down a bit to show the mark on her neck. Naruto placed a finger on it as he examined it closely. The chakra that was in his fingertips showed him enough to understand exactly what it was. Naruto looked for about a good minute before he pulled out one of his personal books he had filled with notes.

"So can you do anything about it," asked Anko hopefully. She truly wanted nothing more than to be rid of this accursed seal once and for all. All the hatred and ridicule were starting to leave their mark on her person.

"Actually I can," said Naruto as he closed his notebook and sent it away for later.

"Wait a minute," said Anko in surprise. To be honest she didn't really believe that he would be able to help her. "Did you just say that you could help?"

"Yeah," said Naruto simple with a straight face, "in my career as a doctor, I have healed eleven different people with various curses on their person. Out of all of them, I only ever lost one but that was because the curse was far more complex than I expected. Yours is not even that complex to understand and so I can easily remove it. But I will need three things from you."

"Anything, "said Anko as she hopped in place all giddy like.

"I need about a pint of your blood, a month to prepare, and the money to pay for the operation."

"Whatever the price," she said happily, "I'll eagerly pay!"

"Well you are lucky that I am not an asshole who would abuse that fact," said Naruto as he pulled out his book of prices. He flipped through the book and showed her the exact price that would be due once the operation was complete. She saw that it was a bit steep, but she could afford it since her job paid so very well. Naruto had her sit in a chair so that he could poke her vein with a needle so as to extract the blood he needed. Once he gathered it up, he placed it into a small metallic case and walked through his door so as to put it in the freezer along with the rest of the blood. She hugged him hard after he came back out and then left to do her own thing for the day.

The second person, or people he should say since there were two of them, who were ones he remembered were two people he never thought he would see in person…

Naruto had been in the process of handing some pills to an older man who had some erectile problems when out of the blue two people, a young man as well as a young woman had appeared out of nowhere and shoved her out of the way. They were both wearing what one would consider crimson colored regal clothes. Naruto was already getting a bit of a headache from just their arrogant attitude alone.

The man had short cut hair, but the thing that people were drawn to was the fact that his left eye was scarred from what seemed to have been a fire jutsu of some sort. The female had her hair tied up via two needles, and to be honest out of the two of them she was obviously the more arrogant one. Naruto stood up and helped the man to his feet before he handed him the pills that were prescribed to him. The two noble people glared as he ignored them to help another who they deemed as a filthy commoner.

"Hello," said the woman as she stood there arrogantly.

"If you haven't noticed," said Naruto as he finally turned around to acknowledge them, "there is a line. So if you are here for medical help you must wait your turn."

"Do you have any idea who we are," asked the man with a growl.

"Not one clue," said Naruto truthfully since he had never seen them before.

"Such arrogance," said the woman in a rude manner since everyone in fire country should know who they were. They were a family that was just below the Fire Daimyo and their family in hierarchy. "Everyone knows who we are."

"I don't," said Naruto with a shrug of his shoulders.

"We are Zuko and Azula of the Kaen noble family." Said the now named Azula.

"Wait a minute," said Naruto as he froze in place when he heard those names, "what were your names again?"

"Azula and Zuko Kaen."

In that moment, it took all the self-control he possibly had to remain calm and quell the rage that was inside of him. He had remembered those names with crystal clarity from his mother's journal…

These two were his aunt and uncle…

The same aunt and uncle who made his mother's childhood a harsh one since she did not see the world through the same arrogant eyes as their family did. The journal had gone into great detail of the bullying that they had inflicted upon her, with Zuko breaking the things she cherished and Azula tormenting her on an emotional level to make her feel worthless.

Every fiber of his being was telling him to tear them to pieces and make them suffer as they had done to his mother when she was no more than a teenager, but if he did that he would be a wanted man in the bingo books for killing such a noble family. If he was going to get back at them for what they had done, he would do so in his own way that no one would be able to backtrack to him.

"Noble or not," said Naruto simply since he didn't want his voice laced with rage of any sort, "there is still a line ahead of you."

"Fine," sighed Azula angrily, "how much to skip the wait?"

"It is not about the money," said Naruto simply, as he stood firm, "it's about the principle of the matter. You can't bribe your way here."

"Do you not understand how nobility works you worthless commoner!" screamed Azula as Zuko held her back so she wouldn't do something stupid as she was known to do against those who piss her off. Several maids and butlers within their home had been the subject of such cruelty, so he knew what she was capable of.

"Worthless commoner," said Naruto as he got into her face. He was not scared of her, nor would he ever be. "Well that's rich coming from the nobles who came to seek my aid. You think that you are better than the rest of us, but the reality is that we all function the same. We all have the same weaknesses, and money cannot change that. So if all you came to do was insult me, then leave! Or else get your noble bitch ass to the end of the fucking line and wait like the rest of these people."

At this point Zuko let Azula go since Naruto had insulted him as well, and he actually wanted Azula to fuck him up at this point. She pulled out a dagger to stab him, since she knew that her family had the money and the influence to get away with it. This wasn't the first time she had done this, nor would it be the last. Yet when she went to stab him in the head for his insolence, Naruto simply held his hand up to block the blade. It stabbed through his palm, to which he then yanked it out of her grasp.

"You seem agitated," said Naruto with a straight face. With a slight of hand he whipped out a syringe filled with a powerful sedative. He simply stabbed her in the arm with it, and it took immediate effect for it to work since she fell over unconscious.

"You filthy…" started Zuko before he stopped mid-sentence. Naruto had another syringe in his hand with the intent to use it if he got violent.

"Take your sister and wait like everyone else," said Naruto simply. Zuko simply nodded in shock that he was being threatened like this. He picked his sister up and walked back to the end of the line as Naruto told him. Naruto waited a minute to make sure they did before he took the handle of the dagger in hand and pulled it out. Once the wound was no longer plugged up with the dagger, his blood retracted back into the wound and reformed the skin so that there was no visible damage done to it. His blood ability helped him to heal from such things perfectly like this, and it was useful to say the least.

Zuko though, was back at the front of the line within five minutes though, and it made Naruto sigh to see that his arrogance was like this.

"What did I just say all of five minutes ago," growled Naruto.

"You said that I couldn't bribe you," said Zuko haughtily, "so I bribed the rest of these commoners to skip past them instead."

Naruto leaned his head a bit, and saw a few people counting some money in their hands.

"Fucking smart ass," said Naruto under his breath, "alright then, what can I do for you?"

"We came to this village to hire Tsunade for her medical knowledge," said Zuko, "but we happened to hear that you were here and decided to hire you instead since your abilities in the medical field are far superior to hers."

"And yet you just called me a filthy commoner not five minutes ago," said Naruto simply, "but I'm not going to argue with you. What do you need?"

"Our father is gravely ill," said Zuko as he handed Naruto a scroll with the insignia of the Kaen family, which was a black fire. "And he needs a heart transplant if he is going to live."

"So I take it that you have the donor heart ready to be transplanted," asked Naruto.

"That we do indeed," said Zuko. The heart had come from one of their butlers, one their father had hired for this exact purpose since he knew he would need fresh organs of some sort. The young man had no family other than his sick elderly mother, and he was happy to serve what he assumed was a good man since the job paid well and the money he earned he sent home to take care of her. The man worked there for two months before he was killed and his organs harvested. And to make sure there were no loose ends, their father had hired a shady man to kill the woman so that no one would look for her son.

"Okay then," said Naruto as he opened the scroll. It was an official invitation to their home in the Fire Capital, "I can be there in a least a week."

"We need you sooner than that!"

"Well tough shit," said Naruto, "I have things I have planned to do so that is the earliest I can help you."

"Then we shall hire Tsunade instead!"

"Go right ahead," said Naruto with a shrug, "but that will take even longer. From what I have been able to hear from all the people who I have helped she is not even in the village. She is on one of her 'gambling tours' as people call it and won't be back for a few weeks since she just left a few days ago. So even if you were going to hire her, then all that would happen is that she would get a message requesting her aid and then most likely ignore it since from what I hear she does not like her gambling time to be interrupted. So by all means go right ahead and hire her."

"Fine," said Zuko through strained teeth. "We expect you as soon as possible."

"I'll be there," said Naruto, "but have my money ready or else there will be no operation. I have dealt with welchers before and I am familiar with how to deal with them."

This time Zuko left for good since their business was done. And then Naruto once again helped those who came to him for medical aid. And to be honest the money that they were bribed with helped ay their fees. Nothing else happened as the day went by, and it was only when he was packing everything up that he met another person who he had expected to see.

It was Minato Namikaze himself, standing there with a grin on his face…

"So you are the infamous Surgeon of Death I have heard so much about in the last couple of years," said Minato with a smirk. He had Danzo send one of his ROOT shinobi to alter Naruto's mind so that when he himself arrived to offer him a chance to join their village that Naruto would jump at the chance eagerly. He had heard nothing back from the ROOT shinobi, but since Naruto was no Yamanaka nor was he proficient in seals he would not be able to counter a mental attack.

"And you are the infamous Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze," said Naruto as he had yet to turn around. He was doing inventory to make sure he had everything and to see exactly what he needed to order more of. "So what brings you here now? If you are here or medical purposes then you will have to wait until tomorrow since I am closed for the moment."

"No I am not in need of medical aid," said Minato with a wave of his hand, "I am here to personally offer you the chance at joining our village. I even have the paperwork with me so that we can get that out of the way here and now."

"No," said Naruto. He didn't stop with his inventory for even a second as he said that since he knew exactly what he wanted to say as a response.

"Well then all I need is your signature he…" said Minato on auto pilot before Naruto's response finally sunk in. "WHAT!"

"I said no." Naruto then closed his book since he was done with inventory and began to carefully pack up his gear.

"How is this possible," said Minato to himself since the ROOT shinobi should have been successful.

"How is what possible?" asked Naruto as he placed the last bit of equipment.

"Nothing," said Minato to shut down that train of thought before it got too deep. "But is there anything that Konoha could offer you to have you stay and set up shop within this village. We are considered the strongest out of all five major villages…"

"Stop preaching to me," said Naruto as he finally turned around to face the man and look him in the eye. "Your village has nothing more than the other major villages and they have all tried to get me to settle down within it as well. But I prefer to remain a nomad and heal all who pay me to do so. But let's just stop all that and talk man to man, me and you."

"And just what exactly do you mean by that?" asked Minato with a serious look on his face.

"I know exactly who you are," said Naruto with a glare towards the man who was responsible for so much of his pain. "And it humors me greatly to see the same man who wouldn't even acknowledge my existence years ago now is trying so very hard to settle down in a village that I have nothing but the worst of memories of."

"So you know the truth then," said Minato with a growl. He had hoped that Naruto would never learn about their relationship to each other. And now he would have to use a Yamanaka to erase that knowledge from his mind once Naruto was part of their village.

"Hard not to know," said Naruto as he folded his arms, "I got your hair color as well as your eyes. I am a doctor and I perfectly understand genetics."

"So if you know the truth," asked Minato with a raised eyebrow, "why would you refuse an offer to remain with family?"

"Family," said Naruto with anger laced words through strained teeth, "you dare claim to be such a thing to me? You who abandoned us when we had nothing? You who left us to die without a shred of aid to sustain us? You who when the woman who you had a child with came to you and begged you on her hands and knees to aid us, you slapped her and threatened not only her life but my own as well? You were willing to harm a child to keep your secret, and now that the child who you sired has made a name for himself do you seek him out when years ago you personally signed the paperwork to hinder his chances at doing just that in the first place."

"So you know the truth huh you little brat?" asked Minato before he whistled. From out of the blue, a dozen ROOT shinobi appeared. Minato didn't want to go down this road, but his first plan didn't work so he went with plan B and was just going to abduct him and brainwash him in the ROOT facility below the village.

"Two out of three," said Naruto as he cracked his neck, "so this is your grand plan? To kidnap me?"

"Listen here you little brat," said Minato with a glare in his eyes, "you have one of two options here. You can either come quietly to begin your reeducation to become a citizen of Konoha, or you could fight my men here and if you manage to kill them you will be placed within the Bingo book with such a high price that even your own customers will turn on you to try and turn you in for the reward. Either way you will serve our village."

"Is that what you think," asked Naruto as pulled out a bottle filled with blood, "but you do not know who I am friends with."

"And that matters why?" asked Minato with a raised eyebrow.

"In my career as a doctor, I have helped many people of political influence from multiple countries. I have helped even Daimyos themselves, seven to be exact, with three of them being from major countries while the others are from minor. I have befriended them all, not for personal gain, but because they are nice people and I like to get to know my patients better so I know how to help them. They know who I am since they too have gotten to know me on such a personal level. Now if you did what you said you would and placed me in the Bingo book, it would only really affect me in Fire Country since the other Countries would not do it. And by doing that you are basically blacklisting me from Fire Country, which while it would be a bit of a financial loss, it's not the end of my career since there will always be sick people wherever I go."

"That changes nothing," said Minato as he was a few seconds away from ordering his men to capture Naruto.

"Oh but it does," said Naruto with a sinister grin on his face, "since if you try and capture me like you are doing, then I will simply kill your men and leave this village and not return." He said that, but in his mind he knew that he would have to return to help Anko since he said he would cure her curse seal and he was a man of his word. "And if I do that, then I will let the world know exactly why I left. They will know that the boy who was abandoned before he was born by his father is now being hunted by the man who abandoned him now that he me made a name for himself. The world will know who you truly are, and they will not see you as a hero of Konoha, but as the monster that we both can plainly see you are hiding from the public."

Minato was growling in rage at this point since he did not like to be challenged, and by someone like Naruto who he saw as a brat. This would not stand!

"Do you really believe that you can defeat so many of my men by yourself," asked Minato.

"Funny that you should ask that," said Naruto as he raised his gloved hand and bent his fingers a bit inwards. As he did that Minato heard the clear sounds of men choking and turned around to see the ROOT shinobi all grasping their necks as trickles of blood ran down their necks. "Since I actually can and do it quite easily if I need to."

"What!" asked Minato in shock that his men were subdued so easily like this. "How is this possible?"

"You were trained to fight like a shinobi, the same way anyone has been trained with the exception of samurai." Said Naruto as he tightened his grip with the wires that were wrapped around their throats, "But I was trained to fight like a doctor, who no one has been trained to counter in their lifetime. That gives me the edge to do such things like this. So you have two choices here, the first being that you leave me alone and take your men with you. Or the second is that I kill your men and disable you so that you still leave me alone. While I hate you with every fiber of my being, I won't kill you."

"Oh," said Minato sarcastically in rage that this brat thought that he could kill him so easily, "and why the fucking sudden change of heart?"

"Because I don't want you to die yet," said Naruto with a glare, "you took everything from me. My childhood, my mother, and even tried to ruin my future when you denied me the chance to join the academy."

"You would have tried to hurt my daughter in rage of what I did to you!"

"No I wouldn't," said Naruto simply, "I would have hurt her since your daughter is a bitch who also added to my pain in our youth. You should be proud, since she takes after you so very well."

"Don't you dare insult my daughter!"

"And don't you dare attack your son, you hypocritical narcissist. So are you gonna be a good boy and leave me the fuck alone, or should I scar you up to the point that you can't hide your shame from the world?"

Minato growled since this was not part of the plans at all. It should have been a simple acceptance of his offer to join the village since the ROOT Yamanaka shinobi should have been successful in his mission. Once a member of their village, they would have used the CRA to begin a new clan of highly advanced medics with Naruto's abilities. Sure there would have been the meeting with the other members to discuss such a matter, but with the reasoning being Naruto's blood using ability, which he still had no idea as to how he had that ability since it was not a known one, it wouldn't have been a problem and there would have been no objections of any sort.

But in the end he begrudgingly signaled for his men to retreat, and the second he did the wires around their necks retracted.

"This isn't over boy," said Minato in rage as he made to leave, "for in the end you will serve this village."

"You are right about this not being over," said Naruto with a smirk," since I will make you suffer as I have for years. I will take everything that you love from you, so that you know my pain."

Those words caused Minato to stop and turn around to look at Naruto with a glare filled with murderous intent.

"Stay away from my family," he said with venom laced words, "or I will show you that there are fates worse than death brat!"

"Funny," said Naruto with a chuckle, "I was about to say those exact words to you. Looks like I am your son after all if we think so alike."

This pissed Minato off more than before, but he disappeared in a swirl of leaves before he attacked Naruto in a fit of rage. Naruto could only laugh as he saw the infamous Minato tuck tail and run like that. But his laughter was short lived when his mind was once again breached and his body fell forward unconscious. But this time was different since there were more ROOT shinobi involved since the plan was to capture him when he was in this state.

Yet their plan was not going to go the way they wanted since Naruto had prepared for this. He knew that they would try to use a Yamanaka again, so he summoned a crow and asked for their aid in escaping if it happened again. They offered their full support as well as more when asked. A single crow had been watching Naruto all day, and the moment that they saw the Yamanaka use his Mind Possession Jutsu they took action. A swarm of them attacked the Yamanaka and carried him towards the door to Naruto's operating room that was still summoned, and then used their unique jutsu to transform his body into a flock of crows as well to bring him back to the room as well. Once inside, the door disappeared…

All had gone according to plan…
