Chapter three:

new friends take flight

A/N: Hey there. Sorry It took so long. I've been going through testing. It's exhausting. We won't be getting into the Uzumaki until probably the next chapter. Were going to hear more about the Fenikkusu in this chapter. By the way, I am in the need of a Beta reader. If anyone is interested, please just say so. Now without further ado/adieu/whatever-the-hell-it-is, Here is chapter three

Disclaimer: I do own... nothing.


Hokage building

The council was all grouped together in a meeting. Most happy for the fact that The demon was finally gone. there was a few who were upset at this. Danzo just so happened to be one of them. The tailed beasts were weapons of war, And the sharingan is a great weapon as well. to lose both in the same month is a major downfall for the village's military strength. He wanted to make Naruto one of his strongest agents. But thanks to the Idiocy of the council, Their greatest weapons are now gone.

"The meeting is now in order," Tsunade said professionally. "we will now discuss the future of Konoha's warfare. Now as we're aware we lost both a legendary dojutsu and a Jinchuriki in the past month," Most people smiled at this. Danzo and Tsunade along with several clan heads scowled at their happy looks. "However, what you don't know is that we also lost two clan heirs as well"

When she said that, people were shocked along with Danzo. They knew about Sasuke, but who was the other clan head. All their thoughts were stopped when she continued "the clan heads were Sasuke Uchiha, Heir to the Uchiha clan, and Naruto Uzumaki, Heir to the Uzumaki and Senju clan."

The council was shocked, Danzo especially. 'Not only the Uzumaki, but The senju as well? That would mean his parents are Kushina and mina-' Danzo's Eyes widened when he realized that he lost his strongest asset he could ever achieve. Minato was the nidaime's grandchild, And Kushina was the Uzumaki heir. Being from both clans made Naruto the the most promising person he could have trained. and he lost it. Before anyone can speak Tsunade continued

"Due to Naruto's exile, Sunagakure has ended our alliance considering their kazekage was a close friend to Naruto." the Council couldn't believe what they were hearing! The child that they were hating for the longest time was the one thing keeping the village standing. "Oh don't think I'm done," Tsunade claimed bringing worry in the council's eyes. 'what else could go wrong?'

"I'm resigning and taking the properties of the senju clan out of the village. I made Naruto the heir before he left, And out of respect of my clan, I will follow my clan head. meeting over. Now get out." and with that, she left leaving everyone with their jaws dropped. Danzo was furious. He couldn't stop her because she's following her clan which they technically banished. they lost their three strongest clans in one month along with their only jinchuriki, leaving them defenseless and weak along with losing their alliance with another village. Only one thing went through their minds.

'we fucked up'


Near the fire country borders

Naruto, Jiraiya, and Tayuya have been flying For nearly three hours. They enjoyed the silence as they gazed down at the scenery of the fire country. They passed over several monuments, including the Valley of the end, on their way there. The silence, however, Had ended when the head of the Fenikkusu spoke. "Uzumaki-sama you will have to forgive us, We are not meant for traveling long distances, but for battle whenever it is needed. shall I suggest we take a moment to rest and recuperate or energy" Naruto then looked to the summoning and gave him and understanding nod.

"agreed. It'll give us time to train as well." Naruto said professionally, He pointed at a nearby Lake. "we'll set camp there" and the Fenikkusu dove down and landed right next to the lake. When they got down, Naruto looked back up to the head phoenix. "Thank you for the ride" Naruto told him respectfully, "We will walk the rest of the way. I'll call unto you when it is necessary or when we are training" Chujitsuna looked at him tiredly, " I am sorry Uzumaki-sama, I am far too old to be of any service to you." Chujitsuna explained " I suggest you get more familiar with my daughter, Un. She may be young, but she's the best choice being the fastest and most flexible of the phoenixes." Chujitsuna then raised his wings and stroked them in front of him making a spiral of flames in a beautiful array of colors.

as the flames settled, a beautiful fifteen foot young Phoenix appeared. The phoenix was absolutely astonishing with her chest and back being light blue with a golden line pattern on her chest. her wings had a beautiful array of orange feathers with a gold highlight on the edge of the wings. Her head was light blue, and it looked as if she was wearing a mask of orange and gold. Around her neck was a thin golden chain with the Uzumaki spiral on it. Naruto stared in bewilderment as the elegant creature looked to him in curiosity. "hi! My name's Un!" the Phoenix said enthusiastically. "Are you my new Master?" She asked curiously with a young and innocent voice.

Naruto then shook off his shocked experience and replied "yes, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, The last of the Main family. Your father suggested I get familiar with you for you will be my my main summoning." Hearing that, The bird lit up in excitement and bolted to Naruto. she swept Naruto off his feet and rocketed to the sky. Jiraiya walked up to chujitsuna in and chuckled in amusement. "She's just like Naruto" the Sennin stated "I can't imagine the things she puts you through." Chujitsuna sighed at the comment "you have NO idea"

Naruto was absolutely shocked beyond belief. The last thing he expected was to be snatched off his feet by a giant multi-colored bird in the air at 200 miles an hour. However, such is the life of the #1 unpredictable knucklehead ninja. It took him a second, but then got his act together and got into a sitting position and began to get a natural feeling to this. Un looked to her new master and smiled. "they say that a phoenix has a closer bond with their first summoner than anyone else" she stated cheerfully, "we can even begin to fly for the first time by meeting our master."

"Heh, you say that as if this is your first time flying even though this isn't right?" Naruto asked nervously. the phoenix looked at him sheepishly. "uhh, about that."

"..."

Naruto paled at this. 'I hope she was right about that bond thing because I don't feel like splatting on the ground.' "alright," Naruto began trying not to sound worried. He felt like flipping out like he usually does, but the last thing he needs is Un getting worried."It's not the worst thing, besides our friends are still down there. they'll find a way to break our fall. Let's see what we can do." brightened up by her master's bravery, she gave a determined smile. "you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked. Naruto returned the smile with his own. They both had the exact same idea.

On the ground

Jiraiya and Chujitsuna watched them in amusement. Tayuya was paying slight attention to the show in the sky. She was paying more attention to polishing her flute. the other phoenixes were resting on the top of some trees (the literal top of it. The leaves on the top is like a nest). Everyone, however immediately looked up when they saw Naruto falling headfirst in the sky with his eyes closed. "NARUTO!" Jiraiya yelled worried. He then looked to Chujitsuna, Only to see him perfectly calm, not even caring about his master falling in the sky.

"I wouldn't worry Jiraiya-san." Chujitsuna said calmly, "what the fuck are you talking about!?" Tayuya yelled, Worried for the blond (for some reason) "he's falling to his fucking death right now and that fucking bird is nowhere to be seen!" Chujitsuna just looked at her with no care expressed on his face. "Un is more capable than you think" And with that, The giant bird looked back up in the sky. Jiraiya looked back to the sky, worrying about his new apprentice dying just when he started. their worries instantly faded when he saw the young Phoenix fly in out of no where and catch Naruto in midair and moving in the air as if they've been doing this for years.

"They've bonded." Chujitsuna said making Jiraiya understand finally. "Now, she will only fly with him and him alone."

In the air

"WHOO!" Naruto screamed in joy. They were both having the time of their lives in the sky and neither of them wanted it to end. Un still couldn't believe what she just did. She never flew before, let alone pull off a stunt like that. "that was awesome!" she yelled in joy. "we're going to be close friends Uzumaki-sama"

"No need for the formality, Un" Naruto stated "you're my friend, Just call me Naruto" The phoenix smiled at that, happy that her master was her friend as well. "Ok Naruto"

They then swooped down and landed by their camp with Jiraiya and Tayuya who were relieved and pissed that He did.

"You fucking Dumbass!" Tayuya yelled in anger. "the fuck do you think you're doing pulling a Fucking stunt like that!"

Naruto was surprised in her worried tone. He didn't expect to see her, of all people, Worrying for his life."heh heh, yeah. sorry I got you worried there" he said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.

"just be more considerate about how you make the people around you feel, gaki" Jiraiya explained, " what would I tell Tsunade If something happened to you?" Jiraiya shivered at the thought of his teammate over him with fire in her eyes preparing to beat him to the ground.

"Maybe, 'hey your brother figure, Naruto, fell to his death by riding on a mythical bird'" Tayuya and Un snickered at this

"I wouldn't worry about that" someone else said Immediately making Jiraiya's blood run cold. As he turned he nearly screeched in fear as he saw his teammate staring daggers at it with a menacing smirk.

"Hello Jiraiya"


A/N and there you have it. Once again sorry for taking so long to post this chapter I've been super busy. On my account there is a poll for the pairing Because I don't know where to go with that. The Idea of him being part senju just came to me last minute and I might give him Mokuton, but I can't say for sure. Please review and thanks for reading.
