Hey Folks here's the next chapter for the Shinobi mage fic. If you guys were able to guess yes Isaribi is in this fic and she'll be going back with Naruto, Anko, and the others to Konoha. In this chap, the group will be encountering Amachi and some of his creations and Naruto will also find some schematics over Orochimaru's curse seal.

Chapter 7: The Kaima

The squad of four was currently on the boat that was escorting the cargo of gold to the next island. Izumo and Kotetsu were covering the rear of the ship while Anko and Naruto were covering the front. Naruto was watching Anko who seems to have a difficult time focusing. "Hey Anko you alright?" Naruto asked the leader who looked back at him.

"Peachy. Just reminiscing about my past in this place." She answered and looked back at the vast ocean. "I don't know why but I keep getting these memory flashes from my time here." Naruto raised a brow at this. "But it is mostly bits and pieces. This place has answers to what actually happened to me since after m sensei's betrayal I couldn't remember anything except that I was found by some ANBU and then talking to the Sandaime about it and even with Inoichi's and Tsunade's help, I couldn't remember what had happened to me during that mission."

"Bits of memories huh? They must've been suppressed into the deepest parts of your mind by the hebi but through that curse seal, they're slowly surfacing. So it's possible that the answers you're looking for is on one of these islands." Naruto stated.

"Yeah. Answers to what really happened to me on that day." Anko replied as she rubbed her neck.

"Hey tou-san." Naruto started to speak telepathically to his father.

"Yeah son what is it?" Minato asked his son who was pondering on the issue involving Anko's mark.

"Have you by any chance heard of this Curse Seal that Anko has?" Minato pondered on this for a while but then shook his head.

"Hate to say it son but I haven't heard of the Juin mark you're referring to. The ones I read about were made during the Shodaime's Era but were locked away due to the drawbacks it causes to the target. It's possible that Orochimaru either found out about a Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique) in the forbidden scroll or he created it and knowing that twisted snake he probably created it from a source. What it is I don't know." He answered. "The only way we can find out more about this seal is if we find some blueprints so it's possible that Anko has been to one of his hidden bases when she was his student."

The Blonde Shinobi/Mage nodded in agreement. Yeah that sounds like the only option. What about you Eva? Any idea?" The mistress of the mage arts tapped her chin in thought for a few minutes and spoke up.

"Well I do have one hunch. Her curse seal in my opinion is similar to a mating mark." Naruto raised an eyebrow at her answer but lets her continue. "If you remember your lessons in demonology, a mating mark is a form of link a demon places on his or her mates or mates. Once marked, they are bonded to each other and can always find the other no matter how far they are. The mating mark also gives them the same exact lifespan meaning if one of them dies, the other will live on unless their bond is so great that they would die together. Though the mark she has is very similar it's a lot different from a demon's mark."

Naruto closed his eyes in thought for awhile and then opens them back up. "I see. Well the only way I can know about this mark's abilities is to find some more info on it and I'm willing to bet it's on one of those islands."

One of the sailors looked up as they saw something ascend from the sky. "Hey what is that?" He asked one of the guards on the ship who looked up also.

"I have no idea it looks like…" He squints his eyes for a few second but then they widened in horror. "Oh crap it's a giant fireball!" The man screamed out. Anko, Izumo, , and Naruto looked up to see the large fire ball descend from the sky and towards the boat.

"What in the world? That's not a real fireball its" Izumo stated until the fireball engulfed the boat and appeared to self destruct. As it cleared sailors were running around trying to get rid of the flames only for them to remain on the ship or on their person.

"A genjutsu." Naruto finished and did a ram seal as did Anko and the two chunin. "Kai." The flames faded away and the sailors and guards were confused at what had just happened. "Now to find the guy who was the one that casted that illusion." Naruto closed his eyes and focused on finding any foreign energy signatures in the area and then his eyes snap open and flings a kunai at one of the sailors who managed to dodge it.

"What the hell are you doing?" The man shouted at the blonde. Izuma and Kotetsu were also wondering why Naruto flung a kunai at the sailor but Anko's eyes narrowed at the man.

"I believe the better question is what are you doing on this boat intruder?" Naruto asked the 'sailor'. "There was no way a sailor could dodge a kunai like that even from a genin." Naruto pulled another kunai out and with the use of his alchemy, the kunai morphed into a wicked looking halberd.

The sailor backed away and growled until a smirk formed on his face. "Fine you caught me brat." The henge dispelled and revealed a man wearing shades. "But it's not gonna help you." His hand glows with chakra and he charges at Naruto with chunin level speed. Izumo and Kotetsu were about to interfere until Anko blocked them off with her arm which confused them both.

"Let the gaki handle this lightweight but be on alert for any other intruders." She ordered and got nods from them both.

The intruder known as Yoroi Akado charged towards Naruto with his right arm glowing blue. Said blonde twirled his weapon and then spun around, performing an overhead slash but Yoroi ducks as the blade whizzes over his head and thrusts his arm forward. Naruto dodges the attack but when the glowing chakra grazes his shirt and he feels some of his own chakra leave his body. "What the?" Naruto wondered and hopped away as the man spun around and went at him again, attempting to grab Naruto with his glowing hand while said blonde was dodging his attack.

"That's not a Chakra no Mesu (Chakra Scapel) so it has to be something entirely different." Naruto thought as he continued to avoid the glowing and then spin kicks the man on the gut, making him skid backwards with a grunt.

"Hold still you damn brat." Yoroi snarled out while Naruto morphed the halberd back into a kunai.

"I felt my chakra being extracted so that means he can absorb chakra through physical contact. So my best bet is to keep my distance from him and use mid range attacks." Naruto performs a tiger and ram seal and cheeks bulge a little. "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara (Water Release: Syrup Capture Field)" He spits out high-viscosity, chakra infused water at Yoroi who gets hits by it and stumbles backwards.

"Gah! You little punk I'm gonna" He tried to get back up only to feel something tug on his body. He looked at the odd looking water technique and tried to pull free of it. "What is this stuff?"

"That water jutsu is a little different from the other offensive and defensive ones. This one restricts your movements and the more you struggle, the more you'll be ensnared." Naruto explained as the man growled and still tried to get out of the technique only to be pinned on his back. As he struggled he looked up to see a grinning Anko looming over him.

"Why hello there. Did I ever introduce you to my snake?" she asked in a sweet tone that made a shiver go up his spine as a black mamba slithered out of her coat and hissed at the man. "Cute little fella is she not? One bite from her can kill a full grown elephant in less than thirty seconds. I wonder what it can do to a human? Wanna be my guinea pig?"

"Oh I definitely like her." Natsumi said with glee while Kushina and Minato sweat drop.

"I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to seal her into Naruto. I pray to kami she's not rubbing off on him." Minato begged to himself.

"Anko we can't kill him yet. We have to first get info from him." Naruto stated. Anko pouted and the black mamba retracted back into her jacket. "But after we relinquish him of that info feel free to play operation on the teme." He finished. Both Minato and Kushina face fault on the floor in the castle while Evangeline sweat drop and Natsumi was in chibi form squealing in glee at how 'bad' Naruto was acting.

Anko now had a full blown predatory grin on her face and twirled a kunai on her index finger. "You hear that? I get to use my new toys on you after we probe your mind for info." She said cheerfully and the man's complexion was now the color of paper. "Naruto would you be so kind as to restrain our 'guest'?"

Naruto rubs his hands together and nods. "Sure thing." He points his index and middle finger to Yoroi. "Bakudo#1: Sai." The next thing Yoroi knew, his arms were restrained behind his back by an invisible force while the water jutsu dispelled. Kotetsu and Izumo were wondering what Naruto did to restrain the man. As soon as that happened a sailor screamed.

"Ah! It's the Kaima!" He screamed. The others turned their attention to a humanoid like sea creature who was wearing civilian clothes and was snarling at the cowering sailors who were retreating.

"Holy shit the Kaima really does exist!" A bewildered Izumo said as it crawled onto the boat. Naruto on the other hand didn't look too convinced and scoffed.

"That's not a Kaima Izumo." Naruto stated and walked forward, getting a stunned look from the man. "She may look like one in the story books but she isn't because she has the scent of a human." Izumo on the other hand blinked and frowned.

"Yeah now that I've got a good look at her she isn't a kaima." The chunin replied. "Do you think it's some type of rare Kekkei Genkai I mean it does sound possible."

"She was experimented on." Anko replied in a low tone and knocked her struggling captor out with a kick to the temple. He eyes widened for a second and she started to clutch her head as flashes of a naked female floating in a glass tank full of a green liquid appeared in her mindscape and the form of her sensei and another man in a lab coat appeared in her mindscape.

"Anko!" Kotetsu ran to her side as she fell on one knee.

"Well well if it isn't Orochimaru-sama's failure of an apprentice." A smug voice said. Anko looked up and growled as she saw a skinny man wearing a lab coat and grey suit with an arrogant look on his face.

"Amachi." She growled out as Kotetsu helped her on her feet.

"Glad to see you remember me little girl. Unfortunately Orochimaru-sama isn't here." He said in a mocking tone. "Though I don't blame him for not wanting to deal with a failed experiment like yourself." That right there pissed her off and she was about to charge at him until her mark pulsed again and she cried out in agony and fell to her knees. Amachi on the other hand laughed at her suffering.

"Looks like your master's gift still affects you even today." He would've said more but was forced to dodge a volley of kunai thrown by Naruto.

"Do us a favor and shut up. Your voice is annoying." Naruto remarked as he pulled out one of the scrolls from his pouch and summons Benihime.

"And who are you?" Amachi asked but took a step back as he saw the blade gleam in the sunlight.

"Sorry I don't give my name to dead men." The blonde answered coldly, sending a shiver down Amachi's spine as he saw the murderous look on the blonde's face. "And for that remark on my Shisho, I'm gonna place your head on a pike."

"S-Stay back! Isaribi take care of this brat!" He yelled at the female hybrid. Naruto leapt out of the way as she swipes at him and snarls. The last Uzumaki-Namikaze narrows his eyes at her but then his eyes widen as he gets her scent.

"You're that girl from the market." He stated while Isaribi's eyes widened. "So why pray tell are you working for a guy like Amachi?"

"Because he is the only one who can reverse my 'transformation' and stealing this money is the only way I can ever return to normal." She answered back unaware of the smug smirk on Amachi's face.

"Is that right? Well I'm sorry to say but I can't let you steal this money." He said solemnly. Naruto suddenly vanished surprising Isaribi and appeared behind her. Before she could do anything, he gave her a chop to the back of her neck, making her lose consciousness and catches her before setting her down.

"And as for you," The blonde mage/shinobi turned his murderous gaze at Amachi, "You prey on her hope of becoming normal when I already know you don't intend to do so."

"And your point?" Amachi stated without a care for his actions which only pissed Naruto and in his mindscape Kushina.

"Kick his ass –ttebane!" Kushina yelled with fire dancing in her eyes and pumping her fist up, which scared the crap out of Minato and made Eva sweat drop. Natsumi on the other hand was grinning ear to ear.

"My point is that you're dead." He said icily as he twirled Benihime a few times and fires an energy arc at Amachi who barely avoids it and sneers.

"Oh you are so dead gaki!" He growled out before he transformed in a Kaima hybrid like Isaribi with the difference being that he was more muscular and seemed more fishlike with the red eyes and all. "Witness the power before you!" Amachi cackled as his new hybrid form was complete. "And unlike that useless girl my powers are beyond hers!"

Everyone else was on edge except Naruto who didn't look impressed at the least. "Well congratulations you just brought ugliness to a whole new level." The blonde said mockingly, pissing off Amachi who then fires three water bullets from his gullet. Naruto dodges one of them and then cuts down the last two with Benihime. "Wow and you spit, should I be impressed or disgusted that you've turned yourself into the creature from the Black Lagoon?"

Amachi looked like her was turning red but from his new form he looked purple. "You dare mock me? I'll kill you for that!"

"Kantsuu Benihime (Pierce Crimson Princess)!" Naruto aimed his blade at the man and fired a concentrated beam of red energy at the man. The beam pierces his shoulder and he cries out in pain before stumbling backwards.

"You bastard I'll" He screamed at Naruto who was suddenly gone and now behind the fishman.

"You should be more focused on the fight than ranting baka, it can get you killed." Naruto said. Amachi responds with a reversal backhand that Naruto easily stopped while switching Benihime in the reversal grip. He slashes upwards, cutting Amachi from his shoulder to his right eye and he screams bloody murder. "Damn I was aiming to slice you in half but the smell of seawater and fish on you is killing my senses."

Izumo looks at Kotetsu with a raised eyebrow. "Think we should help?" He asked his teammate who snorted.

"You kidding? The kid's doing good so far." Kotetsu answered back to his friend.

Amachi was clutching his bleeding eye with his webbed hand as he glared at the blonde in a hateful fashion. "That's it! You and everyone else are dead! I'll sink you all into the bottom of the ocean." He performs several hand seals and then slams his palm into to ground. The ocean around them started to rumble shift. It then started to rise and take the shape of a blob with four large tendrils forming out of its body.

Both of Naruto's brows rose up as he saw the water creature before him while Amachi cackled with glee. "Behold my greatest creation, the invincible Umibozu (Sea Bonze), Demon of the Oceans and true Sea Monster of Umi no Kuni!" He boasted the shocked group.

Naruto on the other hand remained stumped. "I don't believe this," He muttered while Amachi smirked arrogantly at the blonde. "You got me all worked up in fighting an actual sea monster and the only thing I see is a giant blob of water? What kind of mad scientist are you?" He yelled at Amachi whose jaw dropped from Naruto's reaction. Izumo and Kotetsu face fault and Anko simply chuckles at her apprentice's reaction.

"I have to agree with the gaki, I was expecting some deranged creature with the ability to swallow ships whole and with tentacles sprouting from its back. I wouldn't even summon my snakes to deal with that thing." Anko remarked.

Tick marks formed on the growling Amachi's head as he heard Anko and Naruto brush off his 'greatest achievement'. "You dare mock my greatness? Umibozu send those fools into a watery grave!"

"I don't think so teme." Naruto placed sheathes Benihime behind his belt and gets into an odd stance with his left hand cupping under his right hand. Suddenly a light blue aura formed around his body as did a circular pattern with Rune Spells which formed under him. A light blue sphere started to take shape around his hands and the ocean water around him started to slowly freeze and spread out under his feet and the air itself swirled around the area.

"What in the world is Naruto doing?" Izumo wondered before shivering as the gust of cold air passed him.

"Whatever it is must be powerful but what are those strange symbols?" Kotestu asked as he brushed a sheet of ice off his sleeve. "Any idea Anko?" The snake user shook her head in a negative fashion since she has never seen a jutsu like this before.

"I'm just as curious as you are Kotetsu but whatever he's doing I hope is enough to beat that Water Creature." She replied. The sphere of ice was now the size of a volley ball and Naruto pulls his right arm back with the ball of swirling ice still swirling over his hand. "Hielo Marca: Helado Pelota (Ice Make: Sub Zero Ice Ball)." He chanted before throwing the attack with great precision and accuracy.

"Ha! Do you really think that puny attack will kill my invincible monster?" Amachi ranted before his smug expression turned into one of horror and disbelief. The reason to it was that the ice ball exploded, covering the area into a fog of ice which dissipated, revealing the Umibozu in a frozen state, not moving an inch. "B-But how? My beast is suppose to be unstoppable"

The aura around Naruto dies out and said blonde turns his attention to Amachi's horrified form and smirks. "It doesn't take a genius to figure out the chemistry of water which consists of Hydrogen Oxygen or in physic terms H2O and not only that since water can change from a solid to a liquid, and into a gas. I just simply needed to reverse the process and decided to go with an ice technique that is strong enough to stop your 'invincible monster' in its place before finishing it off."

He then performs a few hand seals and fires a large white fireball at the frozen elemental creature and instantly evaporates the water monsters into steam and clears the area. "No… my master piece… my creation…" Amachi stammers out as he reverts into his human form before getting ensnared by several small snake and bound up by a grinning Anko.

"Looks like I got me a whopper boys." She said gleefully as the man looked back at her in fear. "Oh don't piss your pants now Amachi-chan because once we get back to Konoha, we're gonna have a lot of catching up to do, just you and me." Anko licks her teeth in a predatory fashion, scaring the crap out of Amachi and sending shivers down Izumo and Kotetsu's spine, feeling slightly sorry for the man.

Naruto then approached Amachi and places his hand on the man's forehead. "Now let's see what info you're hiding in that brain of yours?" his eyes glowed violet as did Amachi's who gasped out and beads of sweat fell from his face as Naruto tightened his grip on his head. After wards, the glow died out in both of their eyes and Amachi panted heavily as Naruto released him.

"So what's up Naruto?" Anko asked.

"Oh I just broke into his memories and got some pretty sweet info on this guy's bases especially one involving those experiments with the Juin (Curse Seal) on an island called Jiro Island." He answered. Anko's eyes widened for a brief second as flashbacks of the island entered her mindscape before she snapped out of it and shook her head.

"Jiro Island huh? Sounds like great place to start an investigation." Anko states. "But first let's get this yahoo in the brig."

Later On

Both Naruto and Anko had taken a small boat to the island, leaving Izumo and Kotetsu to stand guard over Amachi and Isaribi who were both put into separate brigs and had paralysis seals placed on them and chakra cuffs. They made their way through the forested area and found the mouth of a cave. "This is the cave right?" Anko asked and got a nod from Naruto.

"Yep this is it." He answered back as they entered the mouth of the cave. The two remained silent as they ventured into the dank cave until Anko decided to speak up.

"You know that was a pretty interesting technique you pulled on that water monster." She praised, getting a cheesy smile from Naruto. "You never told me you could perform ice release jutsu."

"You never asked and plus like any other ninja I have my own secrets that I have to keep to myself even from you Anko-sensei." He answered honestly, getting a nod of agreement from her.

"The words of a real ninja… but what was that language you were speaking earlier?" She wondered as they bypassed some stalactite structures.

"It's an ancient language from long ago that I learned from a friend." Naruto answered and it wasn't a lie since Evangeline taught him how to chant spells from several languages like Spanish, Russian, German, Latin, ancient Greek, ect. And even how to speak in said languages since no one in this era could understand them aside from the present two the people in the elemental nations know.

"Ancient Language huh? Think I can learn it?" She requested and Naruto shrugged.

"Possibly but you first have to learn the basics of the language since speaking them in a sentence is pretty tough especially if you're talking to the same person in the same language. I almost went brain dead from translating an entire sentence from a book I was reading." He joked, getting a chuckle from Anko before they approached the iron door.

"I wonder what behind door number one?" Anko wondered as she analyzed the door carefully, knowing that the possibility of the door being booby trapped was possible. Naruto created a Tsuchi Bunshin who wraps his hand around the door handle and opens it before stepping into the underground facility. After he his fifth step, a trap door opened up under him and fell into the pit until the sound of metal piercing flesh entered their ears. Anko and Naruto looked down to see a wide eyes clone impaled on several metal spikes before dispersing into mud.

"Thank Kami I didn't use a Chishio Bunshin (Blood Clone)." He muttered as they jumped over the trap and ventured through the place. Naruto opened a different door a slowly opened. He looks around and frowns as he saw the dark lab. As he looked around he saw several different lab tools and equipment, as well as several operation tables that had droid up blood on the dirty sheets. He grimaced when he saw a rotten human corpse that was dried up and the chest area seemed to be cut opened and had to keep the bile that was coming up his throat down.

Then he saw a couple of cylindrical tanks that seemed to contain humans and different types of animals that seem to have been genetically sliced due to some of them having extra limbs, tuffs of fur, and even enlarged body parts, Making him shudder. After looking around for a while he decided to exit the area and closes the door behind him. He suddenly falls on one knee and vomits out what he had for lunch. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and reacted by pulling a kunai from his sleeve, grabbing, the appendage, and ready to swing out in order to slit the person's throat. "Whao Naruto chill it's me!" Anko cried out frantically, causing Naruto to sigh in relief.

"Sorry Sensei." Naruto apologized as he wiped some sweat from his head with his sleeve, putting away a kunai.

"It's alright. Whatever you saw in there must've really unnerved you." She condoled as she helped Naruto back on his feet. "Believe me when I say that I've seen worse, anyway I found a door with several seals on it which I believe is the answer to what we're looking for."

"The key to the teme's curse mark." Naruto said as he followed her to the door. It was an iron clad door with several seals and kanji's on it and were tapped across the door. "Wow this takes secrecy to a whole new level." Naruto reaches into his pouch and pulls out a vile of 'ink' and an ink brush before holding his hand out and writes a bunch of complex seals down on the palm of his hand in a quick yet precise fashion and it glows blue.

"You might want to step back Anko-Sensei." Naruto warned his superior who nodded and took a few steps back. He carefully approached the door before slamming his palm on it. The seals on his palm extend outward and around the door, glowing brightly before static erupts around the mixed seals and lowly burn off. After a few seconds, the seals dissipate and the tags instantly fall off the door and on the floor.

Naruto steps back, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead and then pushes the door open, only to see vast darkness. "It's these kind of things that make me feel like I'm in a horror movie." Naruto muttered. Anko smiled before turning serious and enters first, followed by Naruto. As they entered, the blonde couldn't help but look horrified at the sight before him. The room was like the laboratory he ventured through only ten times worse. There several large tanks with green liquid that had grotesque creatures in them and the same with the cells that had skeletons chained up to the walls.

There were also jars that held body parts like organs, dissected small animals, operation tables, and so on. As they looked around for any documents, Naruto discovered a body with a tomoe shaped curse mark on it and shudders before moving away from it. "Yo Gaki I found them!" Anko called out, looking up to see Anko holding two large files containing documents for the curse seal and grins.

"Awesome, now all that's left is to destroy this house of horror so that way no deranged lunatic can use what's left over."

Three days later

Hokage's office

Hiruzen hums after Naruto and Anko explain to him about the mission to Umi no Kuni in his office. "Well this is certainly an interesting turn of event. An accomplice of my old student was responsible for the misdeeds in Umi no Kuni though what surprises me is the documents you both found on this mission. Hopefully we'll be able to get more info out of this Amachi person and see if he knows the whereabouts of my old student. I'm pretty sure Ibiki will have a lot of fun making him squeal."

"Hey I want a crack at the teme to Hokage-sama." Anko replied to the chuckling old man.

"Of course Anko but after we get some info out of Amachi, then he'll be all yours." He promised the brunette who grinned in glee. "I'll required a full report from you on my desk, you're dismissed." He ordered Anko who nodded and then winked at Naruto before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

"Hey Saru-oji what happened to Isaribi?" Naruto asked his surrogate grandfather.

"She currently in a medical wing with her room being guarded by ANBU. She may have been an involuntary accomplice but she's also a victim due to her current 'condition'." He quoted. Naruto pondered on this for a while before speaking up.

"Would it be possible for me to talk to her?" Naruto asked the leader of Konoha.

"I don't see why you can't. Are you gonna find a solution in treating her cure?" He questioned his surrogate grandson.

"I highly doubt there is a cure for her condition," Naruto said before sighing and then brushed his hair back. "But with a little research I can find a way to make her condition a gift instead of a curse." Hiruzen now had a curious expression on his face.

"You mean like transform it into a bloodline?" He asked and got a nod from Naruto.

"Possibly and find possibly find a way to make it more body based to where she could revert fully at will though like I said it's gonna take some time a research since I did kind of reduce Amachi;s lab into a pile of ash." The blonde said in a sheepish manner.

Hiruzen chuckled but waved what Naruto said off. "No worries my boy I think you can pull this off. After all you are Kushina's son and Uzumaki's have a knack for making the impossible possible." He joked to Naruto and they both have a good laugh before Naruto leaves via shunpo to see if he can help Isaribi as well as Anko.

And Cut! Here's the new chap for Shinobi Mage every one and once again I apologize for the long wait. I'm in the process of working on my other old stories and doing research on them so I hiope this atones for the lack of updates. If you have ideas regarding the story in terms of creating weapons, techniques, bloodlines, oc character, etc. feel free to give me a notice.

Until then peace out and for all you gals out there have an awesome Velentine's day and guys… don't piss off your girlfriends LOL!
