Last time:

'Better then falling to my doom without an effort to stop it!' he thought as he bit his thumb, going through the seals. "I, Inu, Dori, Saru, Hitsuji! Kuchiyose no jutsu!" he screamed, throwing his hand forward blue chakra turning purple before an overwhelming amount of crimson took over, a massive puff of smoke bursting out of nowhere. "WHO SUMMONS ME!"

And now on with the show!

"Owwwwww," he said, pushing himself up, his head thumping wildly. The ground beneath him felt smooth, and…warm? Jumping to his feet he looked around, and stopped in front of a giant pair of opening orange serpentine eye's.

"Uhhhhhh. Hi?" he greeted unsurely, it was too dark to see anything but the eyes.

"I take it you are my new summoner? Hatchling?" a smooth voice cut out just in front of the eyes.

"It worked?" he asked, his fingers gingerly tracing a bruise on his forehead, wincing slightly as he brushed a particularly sore part.

"Indeed it did, though, I admit to your head injury being partially my fault. You landed rather roughly on my scales," the summon admonished sheepishly. "Though I must admit to being curious on how you managed to get up to that height, 10,000 feet is a rare feat for you humans now a days. Tell me hatchling, what is your name?"

"Uh, I don't really remember, all I remember was getting trapped in a cave, then falling, summoning you, then nada till here, and my name, is Uzumaki Naruto!" he said, counting off events on his hand, his introduction exuberant and loud sending his voice echoing around distractingly. "Uh, where are we?"

"In a cave I located about 7 miles east of where you summoned me, easily large enough to house myself more than comfortably, though, I must admit that my wings are slightly squished."

"Wings? Are you a dragon?" Naruto asked excitedly, here was a possible dragon! A dragon, a creature not seen in the elemental countries in decades, since before the spark off of the second Shinobi war.

"Bite your tongue hatchling!" he felt a gust of hot air hit him, taking him off his feet easily and landing on his rear. "I am not one of those over sized, fire breathing excuse's for gecko's! " it hissed irritatedly at being compared to the dragons.

The summon snorted softly. "Then what are you?" he asked, cautiously this time, not wanting to offend the summon.

The summon snorted softly. "You shall see in a few moments time, I am curious to see how these lands have changed since our last summoner died."

"…Benigami-san?" he asked, recalling the last name he saw on the scroll.

He felt a shift of air, and saw the eyes move up and down. "A truly magnificent warrior, it was a privilege to see her fight down her opponents, never tired of certain aspects of her life. Though, she loved to fly as much as any of our kin, she is well missed by all in the clan," the summon spoke, nostalgia clear from it's tone.

"Fly?" Naruto asked excitedly. Flying was a dream many Shinobi and civilians alike shared, sure people could be flown like the airships of Yuki no Kuni, or glide like the fan masters of Sunagauke no sato, but few Nin had ever truly experienced flight.

There was a deep rumbling. "Yes young hatchling, flight. You think the daggers at your sides are for decoration?" in an instant, Naruto's hand shot to his legs, feeling the smooth grip of the daggers still there, they were vibrating gently for some reason. "Those daggers, were crafted from the wings of our first elders when they died, the blue blade was from our elder, Saphira the cunning. And the white, Yenji the swift."

"But I can fly with them, right?" he insisted eagerly, the thought of flying making him forget all about the pain in his head.

He heard that strange rumbling again. "Once we make the proper harness for the straps, yes. You will be taught how to fly. Now rest," the summon insisted. He felt something wrap around his waist and pick him up, moving him up past the summons eyes, and onto something soft. "We shall leave this cave at night fall, I want you to be well rested for the journey."

Naruto wanted to comment, but he soon found himself to drowsy to say anything coherent, his fingers laced strands of silky hair, it was just so comfy. He soon drifted into the warm embrace of unconsciousness.

-mindscape-
Opening his eyes, he was lying in a grassy field, the wind caressing his face gently as it blew, looking around, he saw a beautiful red headed woman, easily the tallest he had ever seen at about 6'6, sitting next to a large sparkling lake, looking over at him, she beckoned him over. Getting up and walking over to her, he sat down beside her, unsure of why he was being so trusting. The just sat there for seemingly ages, just watching the lake gently ripple in silence.

"My name is Tsunami," she said suddenly, looking at her, he suddenly noticed she had a facemask that covered the lower half of her face, the top half pail and creamy. Her red hair was done up in two tails that was curled all the way down to her shoulders. Her skin, what he could see of it, was pail. She was wearing a red battle kimono that stopped just over her thighs, and baggy orange shorts that stopped just over her knees. Just below her knees, were a pair of long stripy socks with a strange pair of shiny black boots(think gothic) coming up to her calf.

"n-Naruto," he said curtly after a moment, startled by the fact he was checking her out. (in his mind)

"Nice to meet you, Naruto-kun," she said, her eyes shifting to U's. "Now, I suppose you want to know who I am, or rather a more important question, where we are, hmm~?" she asked with another eye smile.

"Who you are, is the last summoner of whatever I managed to summon back there, and where we are, is my mindscape," he answered blankly, catching her by surprise.

"Sharp. You remembered the names on the scroll. But how did you know this was your mindscape~?"

"I come here often to let him out," he said, lazily pointing at the cave coming out of a hill.

"Oh, you have a creature sealed in you, that make so much more sense then some of the things I was imagining," she said, sounding more then a little ditzy. All she saw was his eyebrow ticking mildly, so," she just clapped her hands and tilted her head, eye smiling the whole time. "Let's go meet Mr Fuzzilump then~!" She whooped exuberantly, jumping off and skipping. Yes, SKIPPING towards the cave.

'Oh, my, god. I've got a powerpuff girl living in my head now!' his eyebrow was ticking violently. Shrugging, he followed after her slowly, her incessant chatting getting louder as he walked closer to the hill.

"Naruto-kun~! Kai-kun wants out~!" she called, skipping over to him, before dragging him towards the cave., by the cave, was the giant red double edged sword sitting outside the maw of the cave. Looking at the sword, he picked it up, and slammed it against the bars, which created a Very loud "Bong"

"GAH! WHAT THE HELL NARUTO?" the fox shouted in agony, clutching his ears in a useless attempt to stop the ringing going through his skull.

"That was for nearly getting the two of us Killed you Furry Basterd!" he shouted back, waving the sword around, which would have been a funny scene, because the hilt was as long as his leg, and the blade was actually about thrice his height.

"I WAS RECLAIMING MY PROPERTY!" the fox shouted back in irritation.

"THE CAVE TIGER TOLD US NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING FORBIDDEN!"

"IT'S MY SWORD!"

"Enough!" Tsunami said in a deathly tone, silencing Naruto's comeback, leaving him with his mouth open, and his voice refusing to work. "Though I understand your state, Naruto-san, it is no reason to be so unreasonable. And You Kai. I thought you as a tailed guardian would know why AkiAkuma was sealed away in the cave of ancestors. Now, I want the both of you to shake and make up," she berated both in a tone so cold, both had frost developing over them.

Begrudgingly Naruto put the red behemoth of a sword back against the wall, the ice cracking off him as he moved, and extended his hand out through the gate. Kai's furry paw met his half way, and both shook once.

"There we go~! Doesn't that feel so much better~?" she said clapping her hands together and tilting her head merrily, her powerpuff attitude back full force, before turning and skipping away

"What do you think, Bi polar?" Kai whispered lowly, for fear of invoking her scary side again.

"Ain't gonna rule it out," he whispered back, staring at the red haired women leaving paranoidly.

"Alright Naruto-kun~! Time to wake up," she twirled quickly, waving enthusiastically.

"Huh?" he thought, before is vision started to darken, the last thing he heard, was a sickly sweet "Bi-polar, huh?" and Kai whimpering pitifully.

-Back in reality-
"Naruto-san, it is time to wake up," the smooth voice cut through his unconsciousness easily. Naruto woke up to the feeling of air passing over his face, opening his eyes, he looked up to see stars above him. Getting up to his knees, he looked over the side of the hair, keeping a firm grip and saw they were hundreds of feet over the land. "Enjoying the view hatchling?" Naruto looked over to where he heard the voice, and crawled over, looking down over the massive serpentine face. Looking back, he saw two giant rainbow coloured bird wings flapping every so often, set near the middle of a insanely long angulating body, emerald scales shimmering in the moonlight beautifully.

"Yeah, it's beautiful up here," he shouted, savouring the feeling of the wind rushing against his face this high up. "Where are we going?"

"To get supplies for your training with Tsunami-Dono, I'm sure you have plans to get to," the giant winged snake answered.

A sharp sense of foreboding suddenly made him shiver. 'Something tells me this is gonna hurt something fierce…' he thought with a gulp.

And so, our young hero grew in the land of the winged beasts Valley, under the watchful eye of Tsunami's ghostly form. Forms were beaten into his head with excruciating accuracy flashes of memories, Holding his head in pain, a large lump forming on it while Tsunami twilled nunchuku idly. Him and Kai running away from large winged creatures that looked furious, but had gleams of amusement in their eyes. Learning her fighting style, which was based around rotation, counters, breaks and grabs and then tweaking it to suit him. While not able to spar him herself, Kai more then made up for that. Being able to shift into a Hanyou state for short periods of time while in the rich natural energy filled valley, his form, a young red headed boy about Naruto's age, only more feral and had nine tails sticking out of his butt.

Skills of all kind, carpentry, domestic seals, metal work, bee keeping, plumbing, you name it, he'd became at least passable at it. But his favourite by far was the weapons training. The daggers, were amazingly versatile weapons. Capable of shifting size, combining to form a double sided guan dao or nunchuku, giving access to the summoning scroll, it also helped they weren't made from metal, so conventional means of detecting them were virtually impossible unless you got thoroughly searched. But his absolute favourite thing about the daggers, was the gift of flight they gave him. After getting the harness made, after many mess ups under the watchful eye of Tsunami, he clipped them to the harness, and took off, the hatchlings of the clan flying with his laughing form, showing him how to catch the air currents and glide to save energy and rest, how to speed up, hover, and how to dive without burying your head in the ground, which he did often enough for the young summons to laugh their heads off regularly.
With practice, he learned he was able to summon Kai's blade, the AkiAkuma. He learned the blade was called a broadsword. And was able to switch between it's double bladed form, to a slightly smaller single edged Zanbatou with enough practice. Something he was barely able to do outside his mindscape because of the sheer size of the blade, and his rather short stature. He hadn't learned many Jutsu, outside of a few combination techniques he had with some of the summons.

The years passed faster than he would have ever thought possible. He had left his old clothes years ago in the way of something Tsunami and Kai thought suited him. Instead of the worn down clothes he once wore, he now wore a black silk like Chinese kung fu jacket with white cuffs, and matching pants, the wings holsters secured on his thighs, on his hands were gloves, red in line with the pinky and thumb, and black on the rest of it made of worn leather, cut off just below the fingertips. He kept his hair short. Because if he let it grow too long, it became unmanageable, and he disliked being bald, nothing to catch the sweat after an intense workout. He found the breeze uncomfortable as well, and finally, to honour his master, he wore a crimson cloth face mask.

Looking west, he noted idly that Mikita and Sasuke would be graduating soon. He wondered if that old man Danzo had kept his promise, or if his sisters were worried about him. It had been about nearly six years since his decent into the cave of ancestors. Looking at the wing daggers in his hands, he kneeled on a grassy clearing he had found years ago, which he had taken to relaxing in whatever spare time he had.

"Lady Saphira and Lord Yenji, I plead for your guidance. What path should I take? Should I head to Konoha for the brief few I have? Or do I stay here, and continue training myself," he muttered respectfully, not really expecting any particular answers. As in response, he felt the wind pick up, from a gentle breeze caressing his jaw, to a sharp gust and guiding his face to the west. 'Konoha huh?' he thought, a small smile adorning his face. "Thank you, wise elders, for taking the time in your afterlife to guide me," he muttered a small prayer of thanks that Jormandiir, the clan head, and the first thing he had summoned, had taught him to honour the dead. With a flick of his wrists, the wings folded neatly, before he holstered them and took off to the cave he shared with Kai.

-Forests of Konoha _ one month later—

"Mizuki! What are you doing stealing the forbidden scroll of seals? You know it's contents are forbidden to all but the Hokage!" a scar faced Chunin with a pineapple hair style shouted. Across from him, was a silver haired Chunin with a bandana style Hitai-ate on his head.

"Iruka, Iruka, Iruka. Do you ever shut up? I stole the scroll because I wanted the power within it, imagine the Kinjutsu that must have been housed within this. With it, I will become in-VINCI-ble! And when I'm done with it, I'm sure I can sell some of the Jutsu for a damn good price!" he roared cockily. He was about to continue, but a cheerful whistling cut off his delusional ranting.

Both turned their heads to see a teenager in Chinese style clothing walking merrily through the forest with his hands behind his head. A tiger size red canine like beast padding along beside him.

"'Scuse me Gents, mind pointing me in the direction of Konoha?" he asked merrily.

"Who the Fuck are you kid?" Mizuki asked, readying a Fuuma shuriken in case he needed it.

"Me? Hane Yajuu no Naruto, at your service," he said with an illustrated bow. "Now, Konoha?" he inquired with a raised brow, raising slowly.

"Well then, Naruto…it seems I have a bit of a problem, you see. I have just stolen this here priceless scroll, and have now, two witness's to the fact. So if you both would kindly DIE I'll be on my merry way!" he roared the last bit, flinging both his giant shuriken through the air. Iruka jumped out of the way, and looked towards Naruto, only to see a giant red zanbatou in his hand set at a slight angle, and two shuriken piece's on either side of him.

"That wasn't very nice… I do believe you sliced my mask," he said lowly, dropping the giant of a sword, which seemed to disappear in a red mist as it hit the ground, before drawing two finely crafted daggers from the holsters in his thighs.

"What are those going to do? Fan me to death?" he laughed mockingly.

"Hane Jin'I – x Slash!" he yelled, crossing his arms, and slicing them down. All was silent for a moment, before Mizuki screamed in agony, two long gashes suddenly appearing on his chest, slicing away his flack jacket. The silver haired Chunin clutched at his chest and fell off his branch to the ground, trying to stem the bleeding of the wound. "Fuck. I was aiming for complete dismemberment, not just two small cuts. Jeez, I've been doing that technique for two months and I still can't get it right. Anyway…Konoha?" he asked once more, making a note to work on the technique more.

Iruka's eyes were wide, he had just seen an attack that was easily at least a B-ranked by a boy maybe the age of his class, that didn't use hand seals, and was disappointed with it? He looked over at Mizuki, and could see glimpses of white on the bloody chest. 'Scary' he thought pointing a finger in the general direction of Konoha. He saw the boy shouldering the forbidden scroll.

"I'm going to see the Hokage anyway, so I'll drop this with him when I get there. Get yourself patched up scarface. Those kunai in your back look nasty. Ja!" he waved before sprinting off in the direction of the village, his canine partner taking after him barely a second later. It was only then that Iruka realised, that instead of one tail, it had two, and both were decidedly Vulpine.

-Hokage tower _ Kage's office-
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his temples wearily. It had been one major fuck up after the next in the village, first Itachi had gone rogue, killing the majority of his family, and mentally destabilizing young Sasuke. Had it not been for his granddaughter, he was sure Sasuke would of reclused entirely because of all of the ass kissing the village's civilians had given to him, turning into an angst, arrogant, brooder. Then, his old rival for the Hokage's hat, Danzo, had come forth with a supposedly deceased, recently proven otherwise Yukiesho Kairi in tow, requesting his both adopted children, Kairi and Sai, to join the academy. The uproar that had caused with the council was mind-blowing. Along with the tutor he got for little Konohamaru turning him into a shortcut seeking power monger. Jiraiya was still looking for Naruto, and Tsunade, well, let's not go there. Then there was all those skirmishes along their border with Ta no Kuni. Taking his pipe from a compartment under his desk he lit the cherry scented tobacco, and inhaled deeply.

Hearing a knock on the window, he turned to see a spikey haired adolescent crouched on the windowsill a large item strapped across his back, hands resting on his knees, balancing only on the balls of his feet the night shadow covering any definable features on his face. He made a motion to open the window with a hand lazily. Cautiously, he opened the window, kunai hidden within his sleeve, and a single hand ready to fire off a Jutsu in a moments notice.

"It's been many a'year since I had a child waiting on the windowsill, care to come in?" he asked, backing away from the window. The teen just hopped in, eye-smiling happily. 'A hidden relation to Kakashi perhaps,' he thought, breathing in on his pipe. Looking over the boy in front of him, his eyes were drawn to the spikey blond hair which seemed to spike in every which direction. Everything from his build to his posture screamed familiar. "What can I do for you, Naruto-san?" he asked cordially.

"Glad to see you remember me old man. But more importantly, you can give me one of those shiney headbands so I can join up the village," he said, continueing his eye-smile, walking towards the other side of the room and leaning against the wall.

"And what makes you think you have the skills to be a ninja, Naruto-san?" he asked, interlacing his fingers. Suddenly, there were three of him leaning there against the wall eye smiling, one of them turned into an academy teacher, Umino Iruka, the other, switched with a book case on the other side of the wall, and the last stayed there smiling.

"I can do that all without handseals or smoke?" he asked lightly. Cracking his neck from side to side.

Hiruzen just smiled tiredly, taking a long drag on his pipe. Pulling open a drawer and digging about in it, before throwing a headband with a slightly longer and black. Naruto just caught it and in three swift movements, his Hitai-ate was placed proudly on his forehead. Before snapping his fingers, bumping off the wall and opening his eyes, revealing familiar cerulean eyes.

"Uh, one more for my partner?" he asked rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Sarutobi raised an eyebrow in question. In return, Naruto just nodded towards the window he came in, the Sandaime turned slowly, indulging the boy, but when his eyes reached the sill, he almost jumped out of his chair. Sitting on the sill, was a large, tiger-sized fox. It's eyes were like two smouldering rubies. Twin ivory fangs jutting from it's maw, fur a rich crimson, and not one, but two vulpine tails twitching around from the beasts rear. With a mechanical reach and shuffling, he threw another Hitai-ate towards Naruto, his eyes never leaving the abnormally large fox that seemed to be glaring at him.

"So, when am I expected to be at the academy?" He asked boredly, though if one could see behind his mask, they'd see a manic grin gracing his face.

"Monday, but you'll have to have your ninja registration pictures taken for tomarrow…will you tell your fox to stop staring at me please?" he asked finally, Kai's relentless stare making him lose his cool.

"Alright Kai, that's enough, stop trying to freak out the old man," Naruto admonished lightly. Kai turned his head to Naruto, squinted his eyes and just whined, Naruto just lightly growled and bulled the giant fox into the office. "I know that, but seriously, you know how veterans who seen the Kyuubi reacted to you!" Kai just growled menacingly. "Yes, we all know your part kitsune, it ain't your fault who your parents were," Kai bared his fangs. "Don't give me that you furry bastard, you know as well as I do that I worked just as hard as you did while we were away!" by now, the two were butting heads. Sarutobi cleared his throat, causing both to look at him.

"Care to finish this at another time, preferably outside my office," he implied dangerously, gnarled hands interlaced.

"Oh, sorry bout that old man, we got slightly carried away." He said, pulling the bundle off his back and leaning it by the door. "I promised scarface that I'd leave this here, he and some white haired bastard are about 5 miles east of the village, you might want to get an Anbu medic team out there, or the bastard might bleed to death," and with that Naruto and his Partner left without so much as a word of protest.

Hiruzen just rubbed his temples wearily. 'Something tells me I'm not going to have much time to relax in the future. I'm getting too old for this shit…' taking out forms, he started to fill in small details he was able to gleam from the boys posture, what he knew of the seals functions, and Kai.

-streets of Konoha-.
"Well now Kai, it seems we are getting some bad attention now, ain't we? Not even twenty minutes inside this bloody village and they already know?" he asked, not bothered by all the glares he was getting. Kai just shrugged while walking. A feat Naruto still had no idea how he managed. "I wonder if our old place is in good condition…" he muttered, Kai looked up at him a gleam in his eye. "I agree, we should at least check, and if not, I saw a nice big forest we can camp out in later," both took off to the roof tops just as a crowd of civilians and ninja alike, ran down the street with weapons and torches.

"Wher'd the demonsh go?" one Chunin slurred drunkenly, swaying lightly from side to side looking around, and missing large areas due to his drunken stupor.

"The bashterd mushta gone to sha Hokage tower," a drunk and portly civilian spoke, waving his butcher knife around nonchalantly. The crowd mumbled and yelled in agreement, before moving in swaying unison towards the Hokage tower.

Had anyone bothered to look up, they would of seen Naruto sitting there boredly with one leg hanging over the ledge of the building, shaking his head. "Some people just never learn, do they Furball?" he asked cheekily, causing Kai to look at him sourly and give a low, threatening growl. "Alright, alright, I apologise for the furball comment. Lets go already."

And with that, the two took off hopping the roofs with effortless ease, bounding and flipping over the roofs, and enjoying the acrobatics, simply as a way of boredom relief. Heading straight to the abandoned sector of the village, his "Old Place" was nothing more then a still standing building, a large hole blown out of one of the walls he'd covered with a tarp, a few old cushions and blankets, and an old armchair, not the lap of luxury, but it was safe, generally warm, and had a stunning view of the Hokage monument. He smiled at the thought of going back there, reclining on his arm chair, and just looking at the light filled village at night. But a frown marked his face soon there after

Feeling many figures following them he stopped on a roof top just outside the abandoned sector. Readying his daggers, he took a defensive stance and went back to back with Kai, as multiple figures fazed into the darkness around them soon, the fox and the boy were completely surrounded. All anbu issue by the looks of it, all tensed, he could feel them ready to pounce at them.

"All units, stand down!" a familiar voice yelled from the throng. Walking forward, a root with the kanji for sky walked into the light. "Thought we lost you in that cave kid," the anbu said, the relief in his voice coming out in waves. Sticking out a hand

"Sora-san, nice to see you again," Naruto said taking the hand and shaking it.

"All units, report back to base. Danzo-sama will wish to young Uzumaki and the furball*menacing growl*. What exactly have you been feeding this fox Uzumaki?" even behind the mask, Naruto could tell Sora had a freaked out look on his face at Kai's size.

"Snake summons," he chirped happily. Did he really want to know?

"Snake summons?" he asked, before taking off into the abandoned sector.

Following merrily, Naruto answered. "Yeah, every so often, one tried to enter our home to make a name for itself. What number did we stop count at Kai?" looking back at the larger then average fox. Kai just growled and hit the ground with one of his tails thrice. "38, did we include the two and three headed ones in that?" Kai shook his head.

Yup, he didn't want to know.

They kept going, until they hit a roof way into the abandoned sector. "We Shunshin from here gentlemen," Sora announced, before putting a hand on Naruto, who put a hand on Kai, where they proceeded to be enveloped by a swirl of leaves and dust, and being gone the next moment

-Under Konoha-

The trio swirled into a dark chamber, before he felt Sora's presence disappear.

"It has been a long time, Naruto-san," he heard an aged voice call from within the shadows.

"Danzo-jisan… you should really fire your interior decorator, the atmosphere in this place stinks!" he called into the darkness, his voice echoing through the chamber.

"It is good to see you haven't changed Naruto-san, I take it that you being here mean's your mission was successful," he asked rhetorically.

In answer, Naruto unsheathed his two daggers, and with a flick of his wrists, they extended a light blue glow illuminating them.

There was a pause, before *Snap, snap* lights turned on.

"Seriously? You installed a snapper?" Naruto asked incredulously. Why use the snapper when the clapper was so much easier to use, you didn't even have to clap your hands!

"I prefer to snap my fingers, it's much more subtle," Danzo drawled disinterestedly. He walked forward, cane in hand. Leaning forward slightly, he examined the wings. "Very artistic weapons, can they do anything?"

In answer, Naruto slashed the feathered dagger at one of the columns, not even a moment later, a large gash appeared in it. "That answer your question old man?" he asked, a feral smirk playing on his features.

Danzo was just staring at the gashed column was a keen eye. He was analysing the damage the slash. "You haven't mastered any other wind manipulation techniques bar leaf cutting, have you?" he stated rather then asked once more.

"Unfortunately not, there weren't any waterfalls where I could train without attracting to much attention to myself. And the leader of the land I was staying in wasn't prepared to send any of his kin out with me to train that one element. No offence to Jormandir-sama," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Danzo looked over him with a critical eye. "Very well, did you acquire anything else?"

Naruto sheathed the wings in one deft motion, and in a faze of red, in his hands was a giant crimson double edged sword. He slapped the side of the back edge and dragged his hand over to the other side of the blade.

Danzo watched the side the boy slapped, the bladed edge suddenly became blunt, and the middle point of the "business end went slanted the other way, the blade dragging in as the boy slid his hand over the blade, to become one seamless zanbatou.

"Exquisite craftsmanship," he muttered, before Naruto let the sword drop, Danzo was about to move to catch it, but the sword disappeared in a red miasma of smoke.

"So, do I get my apartment building?" the boy asked. The feral smirk returning to his features, .

Danzo reached into his robe and pulled out an envelop. Handing it to the boy who just opened it, his eyes scanning over it, giving it a once over. "I don't want anyone living in it without my permission. Don't want any guards, power lines, water mains, pipes or anything. I'll do all renovations. And if you could throw in that nifty Shadow clone technique, I'd appreciate it," he said laying out his terms.

"You like the old school ways I imagine?" he inquired.

"Nope, just don't want to have to depend on anyone else for power or water, it's too easy for them to be sabotaged."

"Then how will you get them?" Danzo shot with a raised eyebrow.

"Domestic Fuuinjutsu of course, so, are those conditions acceptable?" Danzo closed his eye for a moment, before re opening it and letting a sigh out.

"They are, Provided you share them with Key Konoha Military Instillations," seeing Naruto nod, he closed his eyes once more . Torune!" one root Anbu fazed into life, kneeling in front of Danzo. "Make sure all Utility services to Young Uzumaki-san's apartment building are cut."

"Yes Danzo-sama," Before the Anbu disappeared.

"So, is anyone going to show me the way to my apartment? Or am I going to rip that map in your office off the pin-board?" Naruto asked grinning.

"How do you know I have a map on a pin-board?"

Naruto just hiked a thumb over his shoulder. Danzo followed the line, until he saw Kai sitting on his chair, glaring at him.

"He has certainly…grown…" Danzo said uncertainly. The fox's ruby eyes held a certain predatorial trait that had him unnerved.

"Are you trying to unnerve veterans tonight Kai?" Naruto asked amusedly, to which Kai seemed to grin. "Fine, you've done that, now enough!" Kai just rolled his eyes, but went back to squinting. "So, my apartment?" he asked.

Danzo coughed into his fist hiding his loss of cool. "Yes well, I have one more condition to add," he said with a tone of finality.

Naruto just nodded his eyes. "And that would be?"

"I wish to house my adoptive son and daughter in your apartment, in return to this addition, I will give you authorisation to use waterfall training ground 3 without supervision," Danzo said, bargaining extra training with the promise of housing his kids. "I'm sure this would help out with your Blade work," he said disinterestedly.

'Damn crafty old basterd,' Naruto thought. 'Using my want to train against me…oh what the hell, I'm sure his "kids" won't be much trouble.' "Fine, you got yourself a deal oldman."

Danzo just smiled , seeing his children appear behind Naruto in Shunshin. "Kairi, Sai, escort Young Uzumaki to your new residence."

Naruto froze, Kairi? Turning around slowly, he gaped in awe. The once androgynous child was now a shapely Kunoichi in training, a blooming hour glass figure, and already B cup. Her snow white hair was a sharp contrast to her now well tanned skin. She was in a suit that mirrored that of Sai, but on her back, were a pair of hand axes. She smirked at Naruto's gaping form.

She smirked saucily, winking flirtatiously at her former roommate of the orphanage the two had stayed at before the incident had happened. "Good to see you, whiskers."

-Done-
Well that's that done, hope you like, or at least don't dislike it. Next up is the Dracohallo challenge, which will be my longest fiction yet. For those of you going to Eirtakon here in Ireland, I hope you have a good time in our wet little country, for those of you waiting for something interesting, I'm sure SOMETHING will happen, so either way.

Slan.
