Tsunade looked over at Naruto who gave her a discreet wink, resisting the urge to smirk Tsunade turned back towards Danzo. "Apology accepted Danzo-san, just see that it does not happen again," she said emphasizing 'san' to let the man know who was in charge. She was so glad she had given Naruto the Tokabetsu jonin rank; she finally had someone who would help put the civilians and elders in their place.
Danzo resisted the urge to glare at Naruto before continuing, "as I was saying before, there is something very important that you must know Namikaze-san. Because you are the last of your clan, you fall under article D, Claus 36 of the Konoha Clan charter. As it states 'any last male heir of a new or extinct clan must marry a minimum of four women by the time of their eighteenth birthday, in order to produce strong heirs for said clan so as to keep the clan from dying out'. As you are the last of your clan, it is required that you find at least four women to wed."
As Danzo finished and sat down another elder, named Koharu stood up in what had to have been a practiced routine. She picked up a scroll and unrolled it while clearing her throat. "Namikaze-san we of the council have chosen several women who we feel would benefit your clan; I hope that you will…"
"Excuse me Koharu-san," Naruto cut in with a frown. "But I believe that under Claus 37 of the same article it states, 'until the time of the heirs eighteenth birth date, neither the council nor even the Hokage have any say in who said heir is to wed. To do so is in violation of said Heirs Clan rights, as such if the council or Hokage tries to force the heir into marriage before that time. Then said heir has the right to take his clan assets, and leave Konoha' I am only sixteen at this moment Koharu-san. So correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you don't have the power to even suggest who I am to wed. am I right?"
The Shinobi council looked at Naruto with a mixture of awe and respect, none of them held any love of the elders or those on the civilian side of the council. So to see them being humbled like this, was definitely a pleasant experience for them. Hiashi in particular was both amazed and impressed by Naruto's political prowess; to him it felt almost like he was looking at Minato who was speaking circles around the council. He would have to invite the young man over for dinner sometime.
Homura and Koharu narrowed their eyes in anger, displeased that another young upstart was countering their every move. It was like Minato was staring at them and ridding them of their power all over again. It was even worse since this boy was not only his son, but also the Jinchurikki for the Kyuubi. Danzo despite feeling the same way did not show his emotions, not wanting to give the young blond another victory.
Likewise the civilian council was feeling most displeased with the situation, many of their daughters had been on that list. It had been their hope that they could get some of them to marry Naruto to get into the clan, and then they would be able to use several political loop wholes to strip the boy of any actual power. However until Naruto turned eighteen there was nothing they could do, making them regret turning Naruto into a Clan Head.
Tsunade smirked as she looked at Naruto, feeling quite proud at how her godson was handling the council. She knew that the main reason Naruto was able to talk circles around the elders, was because of the topic at hand. When Naruto had told her that Jiraiya had gone over the C.R.A. in explicit detail, he had not been kidding. The young blond knew the C.R.A.'s laws better then the back of his hand, having memorized every single sentence of that law. Making it the one thing that the elders would never be able to beat him on.
