Hello everyone Kagidomaru here. Firstly I want to apologize for my blank period I hate when other artists and Authors do it and much more so myself, I unfortunately was busy with my personal life and writers block to give this story the kick it needed. I am happy to upload this new chapter and sincerely hope that you enjoy!

Konoha 3 years since the death of Naruto

Tsunade sat at her desk a mountain of paperwork staring back at her as if giving her a 'fuck you', no matter how fast she breezed through the piles of documents the stack seemed to multiply at the blink of an eye.

Blink

Tsunade gained a tick above her brow as yet another stack of paper appeared before her, she turned in her seat to look at the only other person in her office other than her hidden Anbu "I need a drink"

Her statement was met with defiance "I apologize Lady Tsunade but it's too early in the day and you still have a meeting with the Elders in regarding the recently discovered Hidden village" Shizune shut her down without fear. As the first apprentice of the legendary Slug sannin and closest person to the resident first lady Hokage she took the liberty in controlling her teacher's more unsavory habits.

"Those wrinkly fossils can wait Shizune i haven't had a drop of alcohol in-"

"Three days Lady Tsunade" her apprentice finished firmly. That made the busty blonde stop and she gave the younger woman a sheepish grin "right, well I-"

"I see that you have stayed as beautiful as always hime"

The Hokage turned and took in the sight of her perverted teammate, his long white and spiky hair still long and tied behind his back shoulder length bangs framing his slightly tanned face, he had red lines beneath his eyes that reached all the way down his face and a forehead protector with the kanji for oil and a wart on his nose, the man was tall and well built he wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants with a mesh armor visible underneath, arm guards, a black belt and a red haori with yellow circles in each side on his back was a giant scroll and traditional wooden sandals on his feat.

Likewise as Tsunade had done Jiraiya also took in the two women, Tsunade was fair skinned with brown eyes and long blonde hair with shoulder length bangs framing her beautiful face while the rest hung behind her back in two loose ponytails. A seal of her own creation (the strength of a hundred) taking the shape of a violet diamond on her forehead. The busty leader was currently in her green haori with the kanji for gamble on the back using a red circle beneath she had a sleeveless kimono style blouse held close by a bluish obi matching her pants and framing her curvaceous body doing little to hide her heavenly figure and noticeably large breasts finishing her appearance with strappy open toed high heels.

As for Shizune she stood below her master at average height and onyx eyes, jet-black hair at shoulder length bangs covering her ears and framing her face. She was wearing a dark blue kimono held by a white obi and open toed sandals with low heels.

"What brings you here you perv?" well that seemed to be the usual greeting nowadays he supposed.

Jiraiya turned serious "i got a lead and it's not much but it helps"

A ray of hope breamed in those chocolate yes "you mean-" she left the question in the air unable to finish afraid that any hope will die if she did.

"I am not sure but one of my spies talks of a god that sees beyond the boundaries of life and death and his many followers with unreal powers never documented before"

"Get to the point Jiraiya!"

The white haired sannin gave sigh "They say they come from beyond the sea where the water spirals too fast for any ship to pass and one of my spies swears from high and low that they saw group lead by a hooded figure on the ports of nami on where some kind of door opened-"

"JIRAIYA!"

"Alright alright, a description of Naruto fit a member of the group before the vanished" Jiraiya finished his findings not wanting to further irritate the blonde kage.

Tsunade leaned back in her chair taking in what the spy master had told her remembering further back to what happened three years ago.

-flashback-

Tsunade was enjoying her sake when inexplicably her cup cracked at the base giving her a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Moments later her apprentice came through the door looking absolutely distraught.

"What is wrong Shizune? What do you have in your hands?" clutched between her small hands was a black cloth unlike the ones worn by the ninja under her command. Shizune presented the item to her kage with shaking hands, it was a bloody head protector.

"I-i-it's Naruto's" her apprentice hiccuped.

Tsunade's eyes widened as she registered the words, everything seemed to collapse on her as she broke down at her desk and help at the embrace of her student, it took her some time to find her composure before she called her Anbu " get me Hakate in my office yesterday!" the ninja gave strong affirmative and left in a swirl of leaves.

Minutes later the same Anbu appeared with an equally looking depressed Kakashi.

"WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE HATAKE?!"

The man looked up his sole visible eye holding great sadness "I cannot say as I arrived at the site of battle nothing was left except ruins and the river flowing, we lost the scent of both gennin as the rain poured heavily, we were only able to find the forehead protectors and signs of departure across the valley and tracks leading into the river, based on this I concluded that gennin Uzumaki was dragged by the river as the defector took his leave before my arrival." Kakashi ended his report the inflection in his voice not changing from a dull hum, liveless and robotic. Tears dripped down her cheeks as she turned to face the outside "leave and take a rest jonin Hatake you will be needed tomorrow to retell your report to the council."

The silver haired ninja only gave a nod of acknowledgement and left silently.

-flashback end-

"Hime, we need to talk with the council if they really have Naruto we will have to make contact with them" Tsunade was brought out of her reminiscing by Jiraiya who had a look of concern on his face.

"Shizune call a meeting immediately tell them its urgent and i do not care if they have to be dragged out of the toilet."

"Hai"

Meanwhile at an unknown location

"Captain I have the most recent reports from squad 1"

Said captain gave a sigh before answering "Haku please how many times do I have to tell you to call me Naruto?"

The subordinate now named Haku gave a mischievous smile and shot back " well currently we are on 17,345 give or take"

Naruto deadpanned "it was a rhetorical question"

"I know"

Naruto just shook his head and began reading the report. I was nothing special just numbers detailing his recent increase in members and status on the port town of Nami. He gave a hum and spoke "Tell me Haku what do you think of this?"

Haku gave his leader a soft smile "I think it's great that you can accomplish your dreams in your own way and have started something that has given people what they always wanted" "what?"

"Life and happiness without fear, you managed to bring a lot of different people together and created something that of which others could not" looking out the window, "You are doing great Naruto and no matter what we will continue to follow you until the end."

That brought a smile to Naruto's face "thanks"

Okay ladies and gentlemen I hoped you enjoy i was not sure what appearance to give Naruto as he definitely will not look the same so if you have any suggestions i'm open to any. Sorry if it's really short. I'll try to improve.
