New fic Recommendations vs. Hanoi Xan and the World Crime League

[Foxboy]

The challenge is thus:

The Missing Hokage challenge.
We all know how Tsunade only
returned to Konoha because of Naruto. Well, in this case, the start of
the divergence is when the council starts to get all huffy, overruling
her about the boy so they can banish him, Tsunade DOES NOT just sit
back and take it like a little lost lamb.
If they are throwing
out the reason she returned to town in the first place, she goes with
him. Thus, you have the Missing Hokage, as Tsunade just packs up and
walks out of town with Naruto. Shizune, Tonton and Hinata all trailing
along.
But she's smart enough not to leave without first using
that Hokage stamp to her advantage. 'Team Hokage' are pardoned of all
past crimes, released from all future obligations, and are walking out
with several notable treasures, including the Scroll of Forbidden Seals
and a sizable fraction of the town's treasury - all released to herself
under her authority as Hokage.
If they want to treat her family like crap, she can return that favor.
Things to happen in this challenge:
One, Tsunade took the hat with her.
Two,
she takes both Naruto and Hinata on as her apprentices, after promoting
both to chunin on her authority as Hokage. Naruto goes through some
extreme, and probably ongoing, chakra control training, but both Naruto
and Hinata start powering up, learning her strength and medical
techniques.
Three, Tsunade and Shizune start studying from the
Scroll of Forbidden Seals, and secrets from it are held out as rewards
to the two kids for successfully completing bits of their medical
training.
Four, the group goes through a period of being
wandering treasure hunters, like Indiana Jones, but ninja. They can
move through any countries or encounter any characters the author likes
while doing this. One preferred treasure hunt is to penetrate a certain
castle and RETRIEVE, not destroy, the Lizard summoning contract held
within.
Five, One of the things they walked out with was
Sarutobi's Monkey Summoning contract. Holding multiple summon contracts
is possible, but most people have no reason to, not even having enough
chakra to summon one boss, let alone need many.
Six, because of
their skills and treasures (both taken from Konoha and recovered on
hunts), ALL of the Hidden Villages, major and minor, are trying to get
the Missing Hokage to settle down in their village. Some use fair means
like persuassion and incentives, others play foul.
Seven, the
Kitsune Clan bloodline from my fic, Chunin Exam Day, is available for
Naruto and Hinata if you want to use it. That includes the
regeneration, chakra boost, nearly prehensile tail and parabolic ears,
although if you can find a way to add Wood or Ice you are welcome to
them.
Eight, this should be a Naruto/Hinata matchup, though harems are also acceptible.
Back around town, the following should happen:
One,
people are very upset, for any number of reasons. People, especially
Team 7 (whether Sasuke was retrieved or not), who expected things to
get better with Naruto gone are disappointed. If anything, stuff they
expected to improve with Naruto gone are going the other way.
Two, with no one doing the paperwork, Konoha's infrastructure and mission assignments are doing poorly.
Three,
in response to number two, above, the village council that drove her
away eventually decides to revoke Tsunade's title of Hokage for extreme
dereliction of duty (this, after her face is at least partly carved
onto the monument). In her place, they appoint Jiraiya, this time
successfully getting him to accept the post.
Four, Jiraiya tries
to get the council to revoke their decree of banishment on Naruto. They
refuse. He points out that they have now directly opposed four of the
six Hokages they've ever had on this issue. The Fourth wanted him to be
seen as a hero, the Third wanted him treated better, the Fifth left
town with him when they banished him, and now Jiraiya, the Sixth, wants
him back and they won't agree. When they still refuse, he pulls almost
an identical exit to Tsunade's, leaving town with a few genin and loads
of treasures to go join up with Tsunade. He takes the newly made
replacement hat with him.
Five, soon after the departure of the Sixth Hokage, they appoint a Seventh: Kakashi.
Six,
although Kakashi stays in town, ALL of his bad habits as a genin
teacher carry over to his tenure as Hokage, and between his extreme
lateness and laziness, having Kakashi as Hokage is almost no better
than having no Hokage at all. The town is going to pieces, the clans
are unhappy, and NOBODY can do any missions because the paperwork on
everything is so far behind. Konoha literally starts going to pieces,
and some factions become desperate to get one of their missing Hokages
back.
