It ended up taking hours for Naruto to learn to fly skillfully after using hundreds of clones. The sky had turned dark and Naruto was feeling the fatigue catching up to him as he hadn't slept for days.

"We should rest now or else it will be dangerous." Konan advised as she started preparing a fire to cook some deer she had caught while Naruto did his final round of the sky battle.

Naruto lay on the ground as he stared at the night sky, looking at the countless stars. It was such a peaceful scene that it brought some calm to his bleeding heart.

'I wish I could just sleep it all away.' Naruto thought but knew it was just a fleeting dream that will never come true. Dead will stay dead and the pain will be buried by the passage of time, hopefully.

Naruto closed his eyes and in moments he could see the images of his loved ones, it was painful and the reason he couldn't sleep. He ended up awake so he stood up to take a dip and refresh himself with cold water.

Naruto dived into the water and sunk deep inside as he wanted to feel the pressure on his body. He didn't have problem breathing as until he had chakra, he was okay without air.

The world was so dark, there was no light juts the feeling of being enveloped in the cold darkness. He felt like letting it go sometimes but that was the path of a coward and Naruto Uzumaki was no coward.

He will not run from his problems and will face them head on like always. No matter the losses, he will never fall as that is his way and the wish of those who support him.

"Enough mopping around." Naruto muttered as he finished giving himself a break and broke through the surface of the water instantly as he used the water to propel into the sky

Naruto landed on the ground and his body was dried by heating up the chakra. He felt a bit less stressed now and sat down opposite Konan.

Konan passed a piece of meat to him and enjoyed her meal. Naruto thanked her for the food and ate quietly as he contemplated his steps.

'I hope I can find something useful in Uzu.'

"Why don't you kill the boy now? Won't he be a threat later?" said as he appeared from underground

"Not yet, I am waiting and need some entertainment to pass time." Obito responded as he sat on a chair watching some monitors that showed Naruto and some other places. It operated through the spores that Zetsu had planted all around the world.

"I see but don't let your pride get to you or you may fall to the boy. Also what is the problem with that being you summoned?"

"I am sure of my goal Zetsu, no need to worry. As for that person, he just enjoys hunting from what I have seen." Obito replied as he switched to seeing the masked individual with black hair and red eyes controlling puppets killing an A rank Ninja

'Maybe I should guide him to the eight tails. It might be a fun battle to watch as the Raikage will also interfere. Naruto is too problematic for him or he just wants for him to grow.' Obito thought as he stood up and disappeared instantly

'Mother will be very happy with the harvest.' Zetsu smiled as his plan was on track and his cultivation of unique abilities in the world had been a success. He had planned and acted so that the chakra abilities would mutate and be taken to best extremes so that Kaguya would be able to gain new powers once she was free.

'The Uchiha are truly a treasure trove of abilities. Mother was too strong so she never explored but now she will gain all the knowledge once she is free. Control time and so much more. I just can't wait for mother to return to full power and show the rest of the clan their place.' Zetsu showed excitement and sunk into the ground as he planned to release something foul in the world, as having Rinnegan was not the only way to free Kaguya.

The nest day the duo flew through the open skies and landed safely on the island, which Konan had already visited before several times with Nagato.

It was a small island but more than enough for to fit 20 Konoha's inside without a problem. The city was at the center of the island while there were pillars in all corners of the land, which had complex seals on them but now they were just broken pieces of rubble.

The city was in ruins but it was cleaner than he had expected and Naruto believed it was done by Nagato. He followed the example and controlled the wind chakra and let it flow throughout the city to disperse the dust and dirt outside.

Naruto was kind of entranced by the scene as he came across so many seals, even though they were incomplete and broken.

"Wonder what it looked like." Naruto muttered in a sad tone, he didn't feel any rage towards the people who killed his clan as he never really had a connection to them. They were stranger to him and he would never have even known that he was an Uzumaki without other people's input.

'Once this is over, I will rebuild this place and bring the survivors back home.' Naruto planned for the future as he walked carefully with his sage mode on

"Is there something I need to see here or are we here to sight see?" Naruto asked, he wouldn't have minded just visiting but now he wasn't free

"Follow me" Konan replied in a stoic tone and walked fast towards the center of the city where there was a circle made of runes and many more circles inside the large circle

Naruto could see some books and artifacts to the side but Konan seemed to indicate for him to go the center while she stopped outside the circle.

"Go to the center and a drop some blood on the ground. This circle is for the inheritance of Uzu and is only activated by the royalty but beware as there will be a test."

Naruto took in what she said and didn't wait as he walked to the center, he needed power and he felt no threat so it was clear.

He dropped some blood as he cut his hand slightly and waited for the something to happen. The runes started shining and enveloped him in light. Naruto found himself staring at an old man wearing ancient armor.

"Welcome Young Uzumaki to the trails of fate. Do you wish to experience the first test?" the old man was about to continue but saw Naruto carefully and realized something

"You don't know fuinjutsu, what are you doing here?"

"I heard that this place was for the inheritance of my clan so I wanted to get it to help me in my goal and revive the Uzumaki clan." Naruto replied

"Revive the Uzumaki clan, explain?" The old man was taken aback at those words and there was worry behind those words

"The Uzumaki clan has perished since long ago and the survivors scattered."

The Old man closed his eyes for awhile and sighed, "I guess it was inevitable, being too nice had its problems. We should not have let the other nations have any access to Uzu. But it has happened already so it is pointless to complain.

I will awaken your bloodline completely but you need to go out and learn some fuinjutsu as I can't teach you until you have reached a certain stage."

Naruto nodded and felt the cold touch of the ghost like man, his blood boiled and within some minutes chains were released from his body.

The chains were dark gold in color and had spikes all over them. Naruto could feel the power of the chains and knew they were very durable.

"These have the property to subdue chakra of the target and even suck their blood. Also if you learn how to make barriers than these chains can be used for it and even enhance the affect. Now go."

Naruto was pushed out of the white world without a chance to react and saw Konan staring at him.
