Chapter 1 To leave your home and make new friends

The night is dark and we arrive in a large valley with two statues on either side both of founders of the very village our hero was born on one side the villain Madara Uchiha the other Hashirama Senju the hero and Shodaime Hokage of Konoha but under them right now down by the waterfall is a battle, a battle between two people thought to be friends one With black hair and Red eyes with 3 Tomoe the eyes of the Uchiha clan the famed sharingan this boy at this moment in time has odd grey skin starting to take over his body his eyes being turned black with yellow and weird hand like protrusions sprouting from his back almost like wings with lightning cackling around his hand charging at his one time friend, The other side we have a blonde haired blue eyed boy clad in orange surrounded by a red chakra shroud that resembles a fox with three whisker marks on his cheeks and fangs in his mouth not to mention claws on his finger holding a spiraling ball of energy in his hand rushing towards destiny. The two boys no older than 14 meet in the middle the Uchiha shouting "NARUTO!" And the blonde "SASUKE!" The hand of electricity holding the famed Chidori technique plunges right through Naruto's lung but seconds before our Blonde hero saw the trajectory of the Chidori he knew the boy he thought of as a brother meant to kill him and resolved himself to do the same taking the hit to his chest to hold him steady he slams a Rasengan right into sasukes chest destroying his heart and lungs in the process Sasuke feeling his life leaving him and knowing he lost reaches out for one last shot at revenge grabs a kunai from his pouch and slashes Naruto across the left eye before falling over and bleeding out on the ground. Naruto screams and is holding the area his eye used to be and staring at the gruesome seen before him of the human being he had slain it was his first kill and it was his best friend he passes out from the shock but in that moment his seal was weak and while some might think the Kyuubi would try and escape watching. Naruto kill sasuke proved interesting for him and he wondered if he was starting to grow soft in his old age as he merely took control of Naruto for a second and removed Sasuke's eye and used it to replace Naruto's damaged one now that isn't to much it even could be considered self preservation on the part of the Rage filled chakra construct as that blind spot could get his host killed in the future and he would go with him, but what he did next was the shocking part he bonded the eye to Naruto's DNA perfectly as if it was his own eye and replicated it in his other eye as well giving Naruto 2 sharingan though the boy didn't know that yet as his eyes went back to their original blue color and there were more surprises in story as well but the bijuu would lock them away from Naruto unless he proved interesting.

Hours later the blonde groggily starts opening his eyes his first sight is a weight ceiling and his first sound is incessant beeping of medical equipment "Not the hospital again" is the first thing he says but when he goes to move he realized he's tied down to the bed with ninja wire "What's going on why am I tied down? KAKASHI-SENSEI! BAA-CHAN!" The blonde screams trying to get help but when the pair he called for walks in and he sees the look on their faces he knows it's not good. "Naruto I have news but first do you remember what happened before you got here?" Asked Tsunade "The stupid Teme tried to kill me with a Chidori to the chest and it hit after that his hand got caught in my chest I slammed my Rasengan into his chest it ripped straight through and there wash so much blood" said the blonde shaking retelling events "Oh my god Baa-Chan I killed him I killed Sasuke is that why I'm tied up? They finally have their excuse to execute me now even though it was self defense as he was pulling a kunai out at the time and could've killed me? ... come to think of it that Kunai hit me right across my face cut through my left eye I thought I'd be blind?" Asked the severily confused and seriously pissed off blonde "You're almost right Naruto they pushed for execution however I was able to argue it being self defense but your use of 2 tails of Kyuubi chakra did put off quite a few clan heads while you won't be executed I will have to exile you from not just Konoha but all of Hi no Kuni" spoke Tsunade in a grave tone with a hint of sadness, Then Kakashi stepped forward "Naruto I know it isn't your fault and you didn't kill Sasuke for any reason other than self defense and I want you to know I'm not mad at you I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and doing what needed to be done however, being I was Sasukes teacher and we were close-ish it's really hard for me to look at you so I don't have much else to say I did leave Tsunade some things from your parents but she will tell you about that stay safe." With that the spiky haired one eyed Jounin left in a leaf shunshin and all attention went back to the busty Hokage "Like Kakashi said Naruto I don't blame you either in fact I love you like a son and doing this kills me inside but it's the only way I could save you Gaki and I'm sorry." She took a deep breath before relaying the last bit of bad news "I'm sure you noticed the pervert is missing well after he heard what happened he had you stuck from the Toad summoner contract and you can no longer summon roads and he dropped you as a student." She said sadly "He cited the reason he didn't teach you so you could kill a comrade" At this Naruto scoffed tears falling rapidly from his face "what a joke he was the one that told me he wanted to be the one too kill oorochimaru as he was to far gone and as his teammate and friend it was his responsibility and now he leaves me for doing what he couldn't" after finishing his statement Naruto unleashed a bit of KI on accident. "Calm down Gaki I don't have long to get all this out before I am to escort you to the gates as per the council and Diamou's orders, so now on to the good news as you're no longer a ninja of the village I no longer have to keep your parentage a secret and before I tell you who they are id like you to know those things Kakashi left from them are in this scroll he gathered all their scrolls belongings furniture money etc emptied their accounts by my order and stored it all in here." Says Tsunade to a wide eyed former Genin of her village "You know who they were Baa-Chan please tell me?" Naruto pleads to his mother figure who takes a deep breath herself before blurting out "Minato Namikaze our 4th Hokage was your father and Kushina Uzumaki crown princess of whirlpool country was your mother otherwise known as the yellow flash and read death." She said as she closed her eyes and held her breathe waiting for the explosion "So you mean my Tou-san sealed the Kyuubi in his own son? And what do you mean whirlpool country? I've never heard of it does it still exist?" asked the blonde formerly Uzumaki now Namikaze. Tsunade glances at the clock before answering "You have an hour to leave the village so let's make this fast Gaki first yes he did but could you really as Kage ask someone else to sacrifice their child when you couldn't do it to you're own? And yes it was a country the hidden Eddie village in whirlpool country it was wipped out by Kumo and Iwa as they were to powerful here is a map there if you want to check it out now let's meet Shizune at the Gates she will have the scroll with your belongings from you apartment sealed in it"

The two blondes reached the gate with minutes to spare and said their goodbyes as Naruto walked down the path out of the village and made a beeline for Mizu no kuni and the land of waves to plan his next move. 2 days later he reaches his destination at Tazunas house and settles in for the night thinking about his next move. "Well I could find another village but after hearing about Kumo and Iwa destroying my mother's home country and after Baa-Chan telling me Kumo tried to kidnap my mom as well they're both out of the equation only leaving Suna or Kiri" said Naruto out loud to himself "Kit I think Suna is the best option as according to Zabuza and Haku is still in a civil war plus you're friends with Gaara and he was related to The last Kazekage and probably has some pull" said the fox much to Naruto's confusion "Who the hell said that come out show yourself" commanded the blonde "Hahahahaha Kit you're so entertaining I'm in your head idiot it's me the kyuubi" said an amused giant fox from Naruto's mindscape "Woah you can talk to me in my mind? that's weird Dattebayo you know it's weird I should hate you for how I was treated but I'm interested instead you've been around for thousands of years you probably know so much and I find it hard to believe someone with that much life experience can be as evil as they say, I mean if you've been around that long you and were that evil I would think with your power the elemental nations woul no longer exist." Stated the blonde who to Kyuubi's great shock actually made an intelligent deduction "That actually was an intelligent thought kit wow who knew you had it in you?" Kyuubi laughed while Naruto sweatdropped "Did I just get made fun of by an old overly large fur ball? Well anyway I feel like we should get to know eachother better as we are clearly stuck with eachother my Names Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze I find it hard to believe your name is actually Kyuubi so would you enlighten me oh great one as to what your true name is?" Said the prankster with a whole lot of sarcasm laced in his voice and a foxy grin "Ho ho you got guts Kit getting snippy with a being with my power but yes you may know my true name it's Kurama now I need you to close your eyes and meditate to come into your mindscape we have so much to discuss" The blonde did as ordered and found himself in a damp sewer with a cage staring into the eyes of a colossal orange fox "Kurama?" Asked Naruto "Yes Kit is I the great and powerful Kurama strongest of all Bijuu!" Said the giant fox in an almost Jiraiya like manner that made Naruto sweatdrop at the fox's antics "Okay Kit now we need to talk now that you left that sorry excuse for a village we can actually work together I only acted as I did as I hate the leaf as they have kept me prisoner in 2 Jinchuuriki before you and Hashirama and Madara both controlled me at one time or another." Stated the Fox "Now that you left that wretched place we can work out a deal I'll be blunt all I want is access to your senses and to talk from time to time because it's lonely in here in return I can alter your body to suit your needs heal you and grant you my chakra as well as advise you from time to time" Now that Kurama was done talking he waited for the blonde to answer and answer he did after taking 10 minutes to think it over "What do I need to do for you to access my senses" Asked Naruto "Tear off the corner of the seal about the size of your thumb" Kurama stated bluntly while pointing to the seal tag on his cage. "You think I'm dumb ripping of the seal will set you free!" "I don't think I know after that statement do you even listen at all Kit you're only removing a corner yes it'll weaken it but just enough for me to link with your chakra and access your senses in time when we go to trust eachother you can remove the seal and we can truly work as a team but I know that time is not now" Again the fox waited for an answer and as if on que the blonde ripped off the corner of the seal "Okay Kurama you got a deal but what exactly can you do to improve my body physically and what advice do you have on our current situation?" The fox sat there in a meditative pose thinking "well I'll start with the advice because that's simpler go to Uzu the homeland of your mother they were the best Fuinjutsu users in the world it's likely all that knowledge is sealed away waiting to be found and if I had to guess was sealed for all but the royal blooded Uzumaki as they had the highest clearance you being the son of the princess should be able to access it and learn a lot" stated the fox before continuing on "As far as your body I already made an addition when you lost your left I replaced it with Sasuke's sharingan after you feinted and I took control for a second as my chakra was pumping through your body for a while it was easy I bonded it to your DNA allowing it to turn the same color as your narutal eyes and even adding the genetic code for the sharingan into your other eye as well so congrats you now have the sharingan, however it is slightly weaker than the regular one as it won't ever be able to go to mangyeko which is the next level it will always be stuck at the 3 tomoe faze allowing you access to the copying ability and the genjutsu" said Kurama to an excitable blonde "I did this for two reasons one the mangyeko can control me and I didn't want to be controlled again and 2 once awakened you progressively go blind unless you can transplant a close blood relatives eyes as you don't have a close blood relative with the sharingan you'd definitely go blind and that wouldn't be good for either of us" Naruto nodded hearing this as he didn't exactly like the possibility of blindness anytime soon "But to answer your previous question looking at how your body stands now and knowing you the best things I can do for you is make you a bit taller and increase your max height I can alter you muscle mass and I can increase your speed and reflexes by adding more fast twitch muscles lastly I can add one more affinity to the two your chakra already has that's all I can do and after I'm done I will not be able to do it again so make sure to ask for everything you want now because if I edit to much more there is a chance your DNA destabilizes all together and you'd be nothing more than a puddle of goo" said the giant Fox smiling at the last part and the Blondes reaction "Okay Kurama I definitely want to be taller for sure and one max out around 6'5 or 6'6 one day I want to definitely have my speed and reflexes increased as much as possible as it's what my dad was known for and I want to surpass him and I wouldn't mind a strength boost to as for how much surprise me and is there anyway to improve my memory? I don't exactly like being an idiot and what do you mean affinities and how do I have them?" Asked Naruto running out of breathe from talking so fast "Yes I can do all of that including the memory enhancement though when using then sharingan you have photographic memory anyway so that would count but I'll make it an all the time thing, as for affinities you have the strongest wind affinity I have ever seen and a fire affinity on the same level what that means is wind and fire Jutsu will be almost child's play to learn while any other elements will be much more difficult I can add one more affinity to that but it won't be anywhere near the level of the others your wind is so high because it was your Mother's and fathers primary affinity and the fire is the way it is from me being sealed in you and from the Uchiha DNA from that eye. Now my advice would be to pick earth or water your two primary are all offense so you need some defense Water is extremely powerful but it does need a water source to use it unless you have an affinity for it on par with your fire or wind ones and earth is great as you have it everywhere and the Jutsu are very sturdy when used for defense but it's extremely weak to lightning I'd honestly pick earth if I was you as it's easier to use when it comes to a secondary affinity." Said the fox while exiting what Naruto called the professor mode "Sounds good Kurama I'll go with your advice as you're older than me and have more wisdom ALOT OLDER" said Naruto with a chuckle "Watch it Kit I could still eat you when you go to bed tonight I'll get to work on the changes oh and like I said if I was you I'd go to Uzu train for a while and learn everything you can before going to Suna to try to join up as a ninja also send word to Gaara before you go he can propably help" as Naruto heard the Fox's last words and turned around to leave he got another idea "Hey Kurama before I go I was wondering do you know of any other summoning contracts that was one of my best techniques and thanks to that Perv I lost the ability to summon them and it's been bothering me" at this Kurama tilted his head to the side and quirked an eyebrow looking almost like a curious puppy "And what if I did Kit?" Asks an extremely amused Bijuu "Then I want to sign it and make them 10x more famous than the Toads or Snakes ever were Dattebayo!" "Well Kit I will allow you to sign the Kitsune contract and when you have proven your worth we will start sage training!" Was the last thing said before thrusting a contract at Naruto which the blonde signed before getting throw out of his own head.

3 weeks later in the ruins of Uzushiogakure

After traveling for 2 days and eventually hitting the ocean he ran across the water for almost an entire day before he came across what looked to be an entire circle of whirpools stretching as far as the eye can see at the center a giant mist doing as Kurama told him he bit his thumb and dropped blood into one of the whirlpool the water over the area stilled until he passed and they started spinning violently again he walked through the mist until he found a sandy beach with palm trees and he walked onto land and walked onward through a tropical rainforest moving deeper into the island encountering all kinds of plants bugs and animals he's never seen until he reached the the village it sat at the base of a large dormant volcano the village was eastern style but with wide open buildings to let the air flow and cool the residents off rubble was everywhere and the beautiful buildings and architecture were falling apart some from the battle and some from time skeletons littered the ground and grass was popping through the cracks in the stone streets he kept moving deeper into the village till he came across a massive tower it seemed important so he assumed it was the Uzukages tower biting his finger and smearing his blood across the door a seal appeared and the door opened and his jaw dropped straight to the floor. "Kurama you seeing this? What he hell am I saying of course you are this is amazing dattebayo!" We pick up the seen with a taller blonde standing in the middle of the ruins clad in all orange having just opened the door to the former Uzukage tower all the paint was faded the floors cracking and the building generally falling to pieces but in the middle of the room clear as day was a 10ft in diameter sealing array and at the middle was a pedestal walking up to the pedestal the now 5'6 and still growing blonde placed his hand at the center and screamed in agony as the the seal tore through his chakra network and blood deciding if he was allowed entrance after what seemed like forever the pain stopped and he dropped to the ground panting and blacked out when he woke up he was in a bedroom with no windows and grey walls and red bedding with the Uzumaki swirl in orange in the center the furniture was fairly spartan and basic a black metal bed with a solid as a brick mattress and a dresser a wordrobe full of traditional Uzu shinobi gear in all sizes and a desk standing up confused as to where he is "Kurama where the hell are we and how did we get here?" "I have no idea Kit after you passed out the seal activated and sent us here it was some type of time/space Jutsu that teleported us here similar to your dads hiraishin as to where here is I have no clue but I'd guess some sort of bunker for the Uzumaki during the invasion though my sensing abilities say no one is around so I guess no one made it here in time you should definitely have a look around." Listening to Kurama's advice he opened the door and found a bathroom across the hall he exited the bathroom and made a left and walked to the end of a hall of bedrooms "Dead end it seems" thought the blonde so he turned and went the other way reaching the end of the hall after some time he realized Kurama was right he entered a massive living area easily fit for 300-400 people with a large industrial kitchen and a living space but that wasn't the best part at the back of the room he found 4 doors he opened door #1 and found a massive library filled with info on history and chakra theory and Jutsu's for all elements and a section on taijutsu and kenjutsu as well as bojutsu exiting the room with his jaw on the floor he approached the 2nd door and opened it and it was just as large and again filled with scrolls this time though it was all about Fuinjutsu and they shelves were labeled level 1-15 and the last shelf was merely marked with a capital M realizing he'd be in here all day if he didn't move on he checked the 3rd room and found a dojo for training Kenjutsu and Taijutsu but the 4th room was his favorite it had a seal that replicated the outdoors on the island and it seemed to go on for days it was so massive it was used to practice Jutsu without reprecussions. Exiting the training area he heard his stomach growl hard and felt a pang of fear "There's a kitchen here maybe there is food in there? Even if there is I doubt it's edible by now, what do you think Kurama?" "Well Kit the Uzumaki were sealing masters maybe they placed a preservation seal on the pantry and some of it might be edible go check it out." And sure enough just as Kurama thought the large kitchen that was stocked to the brim with food for the 300 or more VIPs that were to seek shelter here was preserved with seals and still edible somehow Kurama tried to explain it something about using seals to creat a pocket dimension where time moves much slower in there than outside thus while it has been around 40 - 50 years outside its been about 7 days inside Naruto didn't understand much of it but from what he didn't get he wondered why they didn't use that for training but again Kurama tried to explain it by saying that essentially if they reversed it so as to have time move quicker inside than outside you'd age quicker to basically spend 30 years in there lose 30 years in real world And knowing that Naruto understood why. Next Naruto searches for the exit so that he knew he wasn't trapped after finding it he summoned a messenger fox named Izune which was a small female fox with orange fur and a black stripe pattern and he sent her off with a letter to Suna for Gaara asking to join Suna after he finishes his training. After that he went to sleep as tomorrow he would look through his parents belongings and begin his training.

Next morning Naruto woke up and decided to open the scroll he got from Tsunade regarding his parents belongings before training harder than ever knowing thanks to that perv and the trip to bring Tsunade back that the Akatsuki was after him definitely gave him the proper motivation to train. Heading down to the bunker's living area he opened the scroll and channeled his chakra into it and instantly the floor of the large room was littered with other scrolls going through then he noticed they were all Fuinjutsu and Ninjutsu scrolls as well as his parents Taijutsu styles and Mothers Kenjutsu style and surprisingly a bojutsu style from his father who knew the great 4th Hokage used a bow staff? Definitely not him but 3 scrolls stood out amongst the rest one with the kanji for mother and one with the kanji for father he peaked for a second and saw they were letters to him he planned on reading in a minute and then the last scroll he opened it and it had two seals on it one had the money his parents left for him opening it he saw 2,600,000 ryo his eyes bulged for a second before he resealed it and the second seal had all of the clothing and furniture in the house which he decided to hold onto for memories but leave sealed for the time being. Taking a deep breath he summoned 1000 clones with the help of Kurama Taju Kage bunshin no jutsu! He shouted and out popped exactly 1000 clones which stunned Naruto as he always had an issue summoning exact amounts puzzled he looked to Kurama for an explaination "Simple Kit you have your chakra and mine in here when we were at odds controlling it all would be impossible but with us having come to an understanding and working together our chakras are more in synch and therefore your control is much better with some work you might even be able to do a normal bunshin. Now you'll never had medic level control but you can definitely achieve Elite Anbu level control" after a small skip and fist pump from Kurama's response our blonde starts dividing up the clones before reading his parents letters "Alright clones I want 250 on chakra control 50 on Calligraphy as it's extremely important for seals and Kurama says not only do you guys send memories back but seeing as muscle memory is mental you can send that back as well so get to work 100 of you read through the sealing library stay at level one I want each of you to read every book in the section before moving on so I get a thurough understanding 100 of you find the scroll for fire elemental manipulation and get to work on the first exercise 100 do the same for wind and 50 do the same for Earth then 50 work on dad's Hummingbird style Taijutsu 50 on moms Dragon Fist Taijutsu 50 work on the Sarutobi style bojutsu scroll here and 50 on dads Falcon style Bojutsu there was some weapons in one of the storerooms back there grab them 50 of you do the same with Mom's kenjutsu style the rest of you work on any non elemental Jutsu scrolls you find in my parents stuff or the Uzu archives" ordered the original "Yosh! No problem boss" shouted 1000 clones at the same time giving the original a headache. Now to read what Mom and Dad wrote and get my own exercises done for the day.

To my son,

If you don't know who I am by now I am Minato Namikaze Konoha's yellow flash and the 4th Hokage. As you probably know I sealed the Kyuubi inside you on that fateful night when he attacked and I understand you might hate me but please know that even if you hate me I love you and I always will and no matter what you do I'll be proud of you, and please don't hold it against the villagers they're afraid and they don't understand the finer points of sealing and I'm sure if you were in their shoes you'd feel the same that being said don't just stand there and take it either my greatest wish is for you to be seen as a hero (blood splatter) my time is running near so I want you to know that your mother and I love you look to your godfather Jiraiya of the sannin for guidance in this world but don't act like him drink only in moderation, eat right find one lady that steals your heart or guy if that's your thing settle down get married have a family though I'm sure your mother wants it to be a woman because she wants grandkids just be happy and find your precious people and protect them with all you have. (Blood splatter) and don't be to hard on Kyuubi he didn't attack on purpose a masked man with a sharingan claiming to be Madara Uchiha controlled but I made him retreat before sealing the Kyuubi. Be wary of the masked man as it took all I had just to make him retreat he is powerful and not to be trifled with.

Love, your dad Minato Namikaze the proudest father on earth and the 4th Hokage

P.S your mother and I will be watching from wherever we are and I know you'll make us proud

Wiping his tears away "I don't hate you dad and I already know Kurama didn't do it but I never knew the perv was my godfather and going to him for guidance is a joke he dropped me the second he had a chance and was never around before that" the blonde stated out loud to no one in particular, "On to the next I guess"

To my beautiful baby boy

As I'm writing this I know my time is drawing to a close the masked man that attacked during your birth just extracted the Kyuubi from me when my seal was weakened and I'm dying laying right next to you on the bed where Minato left us before going off to be the hero he is. If I know my husband like I know I do he will seal the Kyuubi into you and likely won't be there to help you grow up and neither will I and I'm sorry for that the life of a Jinchuuriki is a rough one and it'll be filled with a lot of pain and heartache and you'll be shunned for something you never asked for, but Mito Baa-Chan the wife of the 1st Hokage said to me when talking about it that Bijuu chakra is filled with so much hate and then you experience even more hate from the villagers the only way to survive it is to fill your heart with enough love to counteract it. So baby boy I say this find a woman settle down have a bunch of kids make friends and find people truly important to you and love them with all your heart and be loved in return because despite your burden you are deserving of all the love in the world. I love you son with all my heart and I know I won't be there to see it but make me proud and live to be happy don't drink to much and find one girl and settle down not a hundred like that perv your father named godfather don't gamble at least not often and eat your veggies all of them grow strong and pay attention in school to protect your loved ones and give me a bunch of grandbabies I'll be watching!

Love, Your crazy mother Kushina Uzumaki ANBU captain and the red death of Konoha and all around general badass

After laughing at that last part for quite a while Naruto got up and started his physical training he grabbed chakra weights from the armory and hit the training field he started with 25 laps around the replica village in the training field then did 250 squats 250 sit-ups 250 crunches 250 pushups and 250 pull-ups and chin-ups 500 punches and kicks with each left and decided he would add 10 laps and 75 to each exercise each week and up his chakra weights one level as well they had 25 levels.

Days went by fast for a while and one month in his messenger fox returned with a letter from Gaara and a scroll with 3 seals on it again one with a Kanji for Wind one with Temari and Kankuros name on it and one with Gaaras. He opted to read the note first.

To, Uzumaki

What Konoha did was unforgivable you were just following orders and completing the mission as we are friends now and I've been working on learning what that means I've been told I should tell you I'll always be there for you that said it's a friends job to help eachother. In that spirit I asked Baki sensei who is temporary Kage until someone worthy is found if you could be enstated as a shinobi of our village in this scrolls if you channel chakra into the wind seal you'll receive your Suna Chunin vest and Hitea-ate (forehead protector) and a standard set of shinobi guidelines for our village also there is a ninja ID number and an ID card we had Tsunade send us a picture of you for it lastly there is a realease form for a 1 year training trip you're currently out on starting the day your fox told us you'd receive the scroll inside you also have some gifts from myself and my siblings enjoy and when you get here you're staying with us.

From , Sand siblings

With a smile on his face he unsealed the beige Chunin vest and forehead protector and smiled he stuffed the paperwork into a pocket on the vest unsealed his standard Chunin equipment pack which had ( 300 shuriken, 300 Kunai, a tanto, 250 explosive tags, 100 sealing tags, 100 blank sealing scrolls and 10 jars of sealing ink) next to that was a small note explaining he was promoted to Chunin based on defeating Gaara who is actually in the running for Kazekage if another candidate isn't found in 2 years time so as you might imagine his defeat carries a lot of weight. The seal from Temari and kankuro contained a large battle fan and clothes from Temari who guessed his size and said he needed to change out of all the orange if he was going to be seen around her and "warpaint" or as Naruto would say makeup. From Gaara he got notes on wind manipulation from the Subaku family's private library having read the part of Naruto's original letter about his affinities. Looking at all his gifts fondly he went to go change today was the first day of the rest of his life!

And that's the end of that I know I have posted 3 stories up here now but don't worry I'm not going to forget about any of them I'm just extremely scatterbrained as a person and sometimes I get ideas for different stories and just need to write them down. That being said the Raikage story and This one are planned as part of a set where I explore various AU ideas I have where Naruto ends up Kage of another village. This and the Raikage story are my first then I plan on putting out The Mizukage and Tsuchikage stories and finish it with a new take on The Naruto growing up with his family and becoming Hokage with them all there to witness it story beyond that I have no idea. My current Hokage story is slow going as I'm trying to keep it plausible by cannon standards which requires me to double and triple check a lot of it but I will get it finished I have an outline and I plan to post 2 chapters a week for each story till they're done then take a month break before I start on the next set.
