Disclaimer: Guys, I'm not even a Japanese and none of my family is a Japanese. My mom will definitely kill me if I change my name into Kishimoto Masashi.

Author's Note: In this chapter you'll se when Hidden Sky decided to reveal its existence to the world, so yeah, it is decades (in the 3rd realm at least) after Naruto went to demon realm. Actually this chapter isn't the true chapter 10, but I have some problems trying to write the right chapter. Inside it would be Naruto's progress in making Hidden Sky. I have ideas on it, but still can't write the damn chapter. So I decided to leave it alone for now until I got an actual idea of what to make for that chapter. It will definitely be a long chapter (for me anyway) except if I decided to cut the chapter into 2 or 3 chapters. Inside those chapters will be: Naruto's progress on making the village, going to 3rd realm, recruiting people, Naruto's meeting with Kimimaro, how Naruto manages the village as the leader, the ranking system in Hidden Sky, etc. So you can see, yeah it will be a pretty long one if I don't separate it.

So you won't be confused about Naruto's age (I myself is confused. God, I hate mathematic) I will put the timeline here right now:

October 10, age 1  Naruto was born, Soramaru was sealed inside Naruto. Naruto's father, Arashi, the fourth Hokage died

Age 5  Naruto's first meeting with Kyuubi

Age 6  Naruto ran from Konoha. His lineage was revealed by Kyuubi

Age 6 ½  Naruto's body was changed by the fox demon

Age 7  He went to the demon realm and met with Soramaru's friend, Kielle, the Sharn'gotti demon. He stayed there to refine his skill and to get helps from the demons who had debts to Kyuubi and Kielle

Age 7-8  He polished his skill in 3rd realm and learning his father's jutsu scroll all the while making more progress with the village (still no people there). Creating a seal that would let people imbued with the seal went through 3rd realm for decades before their bodies started to strain. The seal also had other properties aside from letting human went to 3rd realm (which will not be written here, so don't ask), NOT demon realm

Age 8  Exiting the 3rd realm, his age by then was 23 ½ years old. Began recruiting people for his village. Put them on a temporary house with the rest of the orphans he found before he was 7 years old.. Went back to 3rd realm with the people there telling them about the different timeline between both realm, occasionally some of the villagers went back to the shinobi world to do things there. Naruto and others were still recruiting.

Age 9  The first time Naruto established Sora group, a mercenary group in the shinobi world that would be the seed of Hidden Sky. Meeting with Kimimaro (14 years old) and recruited him. Establishing information network and things like that. Performing mission and start buying lands for Sora group's temporary head quarter in shinobi world. People in 3rd realm were starting to have the next generations of the villagers. The ones who had spent 20 years inside 3rd realm (except Naruto) had to go back to shinobi world to avoid any health problem. They can still go occasionally to 3rd realm. They stayed in the temporary headquarters layered with seals for protection.

Age 12  Right now Naruto is…decades…years old. With the times he jumped to shinobi world for recruiting and other things, I myself got confused with his age and couldn't decide for the life of me his age right now ( sigh ). Don't worry his appearance is still a 30 years old man. With the fox demon inside him, he could live for hundreds of years. Kimimaro by now is 34 years old.

When I finish writing the real chapter 10, I will post it soon. If you see this chapter again, it means that I posted the previous chapter instead of the next chapter after this. Confused? That's your own problem (wink wink).

Chapter Ten

Years later in the 3rd realm

A blond man walked through a wide corridor leisurely when a white haired man ran toward him. He raised an eyebrow as the man walked him side by side.

"Naruto-sama, is it true that we will introduce our village formally in this year? The blonde man's personal guard, Kimimaro, a man that joined his village when he was 14 years old, asked him.

The one he asked nodded in confirmation and the white haired man couldn't help but smiled. "Yes, it was decided in the meeting that we're already strong enough to deal with any problem that might face us when we reveal ourselves. The news will soon be announced to the rest of the villagers," the whiskered blonde man smiled whistfully.

"In what country we will settle on?" he asked curiously.

"We have some choices, but Wave country won in the end. It doesn't have another hidden village. The country has the potential to become a powerful country if it is managed right and carefully and it will be easier to convince the Wave daimyou to let us settle there than the other countries."

Kimimaro frowned. "How so?"

"Hmm? Oh the Wave country is a poor country and is infested by criminals from Gatou's company—"

"Isn't he the owner of the drug company that we have just destroyed 2 months ago? He interrupted.

Naruto smirked. "Yeah, he is. Anyway since Wave has so many criminals they can't handle, the daimyou will definitely agree with our offer. We help them get rid Gatou and help to build their country and we will be given permission to establish our own village there. Not to forget that since it is an archipelago country there will be much water there, and since most of us came from Water country who specialized in water jutsu, the country will be perfect for us," the bone user nodded in understanding.

"I see, so when will you plan to make an agreement with the daimyou?"

"A week or under from now on, I guess. I'll have the time to tell the rest of us and I'll ask the investigation teams to gather information needed about the country in a week."

"That fast?"

"Er…when I said a week, I meant a week of shinobi world time, so it will be months here…but I'll announce it right now, I have asked Haiku to gather all of them in the main ground. We have dreamed of this for years afterall and they will want to know the good news. By the way, it is also decided that I will change my name into Kazama Sora, or at least that'll be my name outside Hidden Sky. That way Konoha won't relate me to the boy they so despised," Naruto murmured bitterly.

"It's their loss. For us, you're our savior and leader, no matter if you have a demon inside you or not. But won't they relate your name with yondaime?" he voiced his doubt.

"So? It should be my birth surname if the incident more than 5 decades ag—drat! I mean 12 years ago. Shit, since the time moves differently between worlds, I'm confused now. Anyway I want to honor my father's name even if I'm still bitter against him for sealing Soramaru-sama inside me."

"But if he didn't seal Soramaru-sama inside you, there won't be any Hidden Sky right now and perhaps most of us still live in uncertainty and suffering, including me," Kimimaro interjected.

Naruto stopped walking and turned to him. He looked quite stunned by the statement. Slowly a smile formed on his face. "You know what? You're right. Absolutely right. Come, Kimimaro-kun, I think it's time for us to tell the villagers of the good news!" Naruto started to walk again.

The face of the father of 3 more Kaguya children brightened. "Hai, Naruto-sama!" he joined his leader walking toward the center of the village.

"By the way, do you know another reason why I chose to use Kazama name?" Kimimaro shook his head. Naruto grinned. "I want to throw Konoha out of the loop when they heard my name. What do you think they will think when they see a man resemble their dead leader with the same surname?" he asked.

"Probably thinking you're related to him," he replied in a heartbeat.

"Wouldn't it be nice to see their face when they knew the truth that not only I am related with him, I'm his actual son and the Kyuubi vessel they despised?" 2 identical smirks plastered on their face, before they laughed in amusement.

Meanwhile in Konoha

The current leader of Konoha was stamping a stack of papers when the door to his office opened, revealing his assistant bringing in another pile of papers for him. The old Hokage nearly groaned when he saw the sight.

"More paperwork?" he settled on sighing, hoping that it didn't sound like he was whining. That would be rather embarrassing. His assistant looked apologetic as he put the papers on the desk. Sandaime sighed once more. "Can you stamp these papers while I read through those papers? I have sorted them out, so you'll only need to stamp them and I can just sign them later," he said to his brunette assistant.

"Of course, sandaime-sama," the leader of Konoha relinquished the papaers to him and took the other paper stack.

He was halfway reading through the papers when a report inside one of the paper caught his interest. "Why is a report about a land selling by the Fire daimyou lands on my desk?" he asked to no one particular, but his assistant answered nonetheless.

"A land selling? Could it be about a 115-acre land with a small forest and a lake included in the border of Fire and Water country?" he asked back.

Sandaime read the report further. He nodded. "Yes, you're right. How did you know about it?"

"It's only a wild rumor circulated in shinobi countries, but it is said that the new owner of the land is involved with the Sora group," he answered.

Sandaime looked up to his assistant, feeling rather surprised. "Really?" he went back to skim through the paper thoroughly and after a minute of careful reading the whole paper, he put the interesting report back to his desk. He leaned on his couch, face frowning.

The Sora group. It was a mercenary group that emerged 3 years ago, and since then they're growing rapidly. The group accepted high-class missions without complaints or many questions. It is said that they haven't failed any mission yet. Some of Konha's clients and potential clients turned to the group's service and the village was quite upset by the loss of their clients.

He had sent 3 investigation squads to gather information about the group, but they couldn't seem to gather much information about them. The group was so mysterious and secretive, and none of the clients know much about them, much less the direction to their headquarter. It was quite a talk among the hidden villages, because it seemed that they too had client loss because of their existence.

The bits of information they gathered were that they worked really efficient and silently. It was rumored that they silent move rivaled Hidden Mist' shinobi, a fact that he knew infuriate Mizukage and Mist's shinobis. The mercenary group also had tattoos in their left forearms, just like Konoha's ANBU, although the symbol was different. It was shaped as a fox with 4 tails, 5 tails, or 6 tails. The investigation squads guessed that it was the way they ranked their members, with the people who had less tails had lower ranks than the ones who had more tails. He felt a pit on his stomach when he remembered a report about a man that had a tattoo of nine-tailed fox, presumably the leader of that mercenary group, massacred a band of missing-nins on his own.

Needless to say that the council was in uproar when they heard the news. Talks about the massacre and the tattooed man reminded them of the Uchiha massacre done by its on member and of Kyuubi. To think that the group dared to use a symbol of Kyuubi that 12 years ago wreaked havoc in Konoha brought cyies of outrage from some of the more radical council members who wanted them to be eliminated for…mocking them. He and the more rational members managed to dissuade them from bringing that conversation in any council meeting anymore. To go against an unknown group just because they thought they were mocking them was a definite no-no. They couldn't spare their shinobis to go against them for such silly reason and the other countries would definitely looked down upon Konha if they waged battle against the group. The repercussions of that kind of thin was too great for Konoha to be done.

Hokage also got information that the group mostly used water jutsu, but it is said that the infamous leader of the group never did any water jutsu or even other elemental jutsu. Infact he only used taijutsu to kill the missing-nins and no ninjutsu or genjutsu. From the information the squads gathered, the man had blonde hair though the witnesses never got to look his face clearly, so they could only tell them about him vaguely. It is also said that the man was strong, perhaps even as strong as Tsunade if not even stronger, and that he was as fast as Gai, Konoha's own taijustu specialist. He could also shrug genjutsu as if it was a child play. To say that the information was quite staggering was the understatement of the year.

Sandaime has written to Jiraiya about it, asking him to investigate the group with his impressive information network that sandaime knew him to have. But his former student didn't reply at all. Possibly because the letter he had sent with the aid of the best delivery bird Konoha had never been received by his pervert student. There were rumors about a pervert old man peeking on woman bathhouses in various towns and cities, of course, but by the time the team he sent arrived there, Jiraiya was nowhere to be found, as if he avoided them. Which might be true, since he has avoided Konoha like plague ever since the death of his student 12 years ago.

"I want Anko here under an hour," the Hokage stated firmly to his assistant. He nodded and quivkly exited the office, leaving the papers he was supposed to stamp on his desk under the paperweight.

Sarutobi wanted to know the details of the land selling under a week.

Back in 3rd realm, on the main ground

The people of Hidden Sky were gathered in the main ground, waiting their leader patiently to tell an important news to them. From children to adults, from normal citizen to shinobi were there, wondering just what kind of nes their leader would deliver.

When Naruto walked toward the center of the main floating island, an oracle where the systems to control all things in Hidden Sky were there, they parted to give him and his closest guard a room to walk. A pleased smile on his whiskered face made them relieved, since it meant that the news was a good one.

"People of Hidden Sky, you'll be pleased to know that soon we'll leave this realm and go back to shinobi world where we can rejoice with our other people there!" the people were shocked and silent before a loud cheer erupted from the crowds. "It is time for us to reveal ourselves and let the other Hidden villages to know our might, the might of the people they shunned! Naruto shouted, earning a louder cheer from his people.

"The investigation squads will be sent to gather information needed, so until that time we will still stay here. And we have decided that our new resident would be in Wave country," the people murmured in confusion, most of them had never heard of that country. Naruto decided to enlighten them. "It is an archipelago country near Fire and Water country. I won't keep it secret that the condition of this country right now is bad, but it is not something we can't handle. The country has a big potential, and with our help I'm sure Wave will prosper. The condition of Wave right now resembles us those many years ago when we hadn't been united and were separated from each other. Will you let the country alone to fend for itself?" A chorus of 'No!' rang on the air. "Then I'm proud to say that Hidden Sky will announced its existence soon!" The Kyuubi vessel was proud to see his people band together to make a better future for everyone of them.

3 days later in Konoha (or 2 months in 3rd realm)

"You mean that there were more than 15 land selling in various countries done by Sora group in these 3 years?" Sandaime asked Anko who led the investigation disbelievingly.

Anko nodded. "Some of the selling didn't seem to be realated with the group, but after we dug in further, it is revealed that they were behind it," the Hokage frowned. "…And we have an interesting news about Sora group's movement."

Sandaime looked up. "What is it?"

"In these 3 days, that group started to move…differently," she carefully replied. Konoha's leader urged her to continue with a nod. "They dispatched more than their usual numbers to investigate about something."

"And do you know what they were investigating?"

"Yes, a country named Wave. It is a poor archipelago country near Fire country's border. According to the ones they asked, they were asking about the details of Wave conditions," she finished her report. Both were silent for a long time, pondering why the group investigated about Wave.

A knock snapped them out of their reverie. "Enter!"

A jounin under Anko's order entered. "Sandaime'sama, a man from Wave is asking for a C-class mission to escort him back to his country," the black haired man said, knowing that both of them would be interested by the news. Sarutobi and Anko looked at each other.

"Thank you Ginji, you can go now," he dismissed him. "I want Kakashi's and Gai's genin teams to accept the mission. The two should be enough to investigate about that group's movement without being suspicious."

"Are you sure you want Gai to do it? He's…weird," the old man chuckled at her description of Gai.

"That's why I chose him, plus in both their teams there are the best rookies on their generation, so they will have a chance to defend themselves if something happens."

"But if it is only a C-class mission, I don't think that Wave man will need 2 teams with him."

"We'll tell him that the other team needs outside experience and he won't need to pay more, beside I'm sure Kakashi's team will be delighted. The team hasn't gotten a C-class mission yet." Sarutobi replied.

Anko nodded. "Do we need to tell the genins too about the plan?"

Sandaime shook his head. "No, just tell Kakashi and Gai about it," the black haired woman nodded and vanished from his office. He went back to his paper stacks with a sigh. "Now back to the land of papers," he murmured tiredly.

TBC…

R&R!

Eh, I forget to tell you, but starting from Thursday, September 29 2005, I will have a mid exam, so don't expect much from me. Oh and btw, I don't have much time to edit this thing on my own, too tired and too bloody sleepy, so no 'Your grammar sucks!' please.
