"Begin!" shouted Genma before jumping back to avoid any attacks from the two. Yugito and Ameyuri held their stance as they stared at each other, both still as the wind blew by. Then Yugito disappeared in a blur right before Naruto spoke.
"Her chances of winning have dropped."
"How?" asked Shikamaru as he watched the match next to his teammate and friend.
"The style I invented and showed Ameyuri works best if you wait for your opponent to attack first. She has not mastered the style but she has enough of it down to use it in combat effectively. The tactics used let you fight multiple enemies at once and turn all their attacks against them hence why you wait for your opponent to attack you" said Naruto as he watched Yugito near Ameyuri.
Yugito got close and went for a simple right hand punch while Ameyuri used the palm of her left hand to deflect the fist to the right before grabbing the back of Yugito's neck and slamming her right knee into her stomach. Then she delivered a hard right hand punch to Yugito's face, sending her skidding across the grass before Yugito regained her balance and came to a stop.
The Raikage, Hokage and Kazekage all sat on three stone seats as they watched the match between the two girls.
"That was quite a foolish move" said the Kazekage while his two guards nodded their heads in agreement.
"She is strong in her own right but she still has a lot to learn, patience is one of them" said the Raikage. His two guards, Killer Bee and Mabui both seemed to agree with his statement.
"I believe you are both right, it was foolish but she can learn from it quickly. She now know what not to do and she can fix her tactics quickly to fight her opponent better" said the Hokage, his guards agreeing with him.

Yugito went through hands signs and said "Fire Release: Hell Fire!" She breathed out a large ball of blue fire at the red head before jumping back and throwing a few kunai with explosive notes attached to the end of them.
Ameyuri went through a few hand signs and inhaled before saying "Water Release: Gunshot!" A large bullet of water shot out of her mouth and collided with the blue fire ball and created a thick blanket of steam to cover the area around the two before three explosions went off, separating the steam to show what had happened. There were two creators near Ameyuri and one that was only a few feet away from Yugito.
"Not bad, the explosion note on the kunai was a nice touch but you need to try a bit harder" said Ameyuri, hoping to get her angry with the last comment.
"Try harder! I show you trying harder!" shouted Yugito as she started to channel her bijuu's chakra around her, forming a cloak of blue and black fire in the form of a cat with one tail.
"Now it's starting to get interesting" said the Kazekage.
"I want to see her win against Yugito in that form" said the Raikage but Bee gave him a doubtful look.
"Let's see how this plays out" said the Hokage.

"You think that's all it's going to take to win?" asked Ameyuri as she drew her swords and lighting started to flow through them. Yugito only growled before disappearing in a burst of speed faster than any chunin rank ninja could follow. Ameyuri closed her eyes and waited before bringing up her left blade to stop Yugito's long nails and swung her right sword to which Yugito jumped back to avoid then charged again. This way of tactics continued for over twenty minutes, every now and then Yugito would shoot out a fire ball which Ameyuri would stop with a large bullet of water before continuing with the same tactics. Now the two were both started to feel the fatigue setting in and were having trouble keeping up the same tactics.
Ameyuri huffed tiredly as she kept her self tense and prepared in the event of another attack. She could tell even though Yugito had the energy of her bijuu running through her, it didn't help with her stamina seeing as she didn't have full control of her bijuu. Ameyuri knew one move that would allow her to win the fight but she had to do it quickly before she got back in conflict or she wouldn't have the energy to use it.
Ameyuri stabbed her swords into the ground and charged them up with lighting again but this time lighting started to flow upwards as well before she spoke "Lighting Release: Thunder Gate!" Then lighting from the sky descended downwards before hitting Ameyuri's swords, causing a massive explosion to rock the whole area.
Everyone waited in anticipation for the dust to settle after the shockwave had stopped but all ninja knew something was off. Everyone, even the three kages watched in anticipation as the dust settled but once it did everyone's hearts dropped. Ameyuri stood up with her swords still in the ground as Yugito had a small bijuu bomb formed right in front of her mouth. Yugito seemed to be hurt bad, large gashes were seen all around her body and lighting still coursed around her fire cloak but it didn't seem to faze her at the moment.
Ameyuri looked a bit shocked seeing Yugito still standing but what scared her a bit was the bijuu bomb that was facing her. She knew it's destructive capabilities and didn't want to experience what Naruto had and believed now would be the time she would use the gift Naruto had given her before they arrived at the exams. Yugito seemed to lower her body a bit more before shooting off the bomb at Ameyuri who had already strapped her swords back to her waist and had been rummaging through her pack on the back of her waist. Finally she found what she was looking for and pulled out a kunai with a tag on in and as the bijuu bomb got within ten feet she threw the kunai at the bomb before an explosion rocked the stadium even more that Ameyuri's thunder gate attack.
Everyone seemed to be on the edge of their seats as they waited for the dust to settle once again and see the outcome of the devastating attack. Once the dust had settled it showed Yugito first, she was laying face down on the ground with lighting still coursing around her body and remained unmoving. The dust started to separate more to show Ameyuri unharmed and what looked like a shield made of gold hexagonal patterns that spread from side to side on the area and in front of the shield was a large creator from the bijuu bomb explosion. The seal seemed to glow a bit before it disappeared and the seal on the kunai burned away while the kunai cracked a bit before shattering into pieces.
Genma jumped down from his perch on the top of the arena wall and spoke "Yugito is unable to battle therefore the winner of match one is Ameyuri Ringo!" Then the whole stadium erupted in cheers from the crowd, cheers of excitement and admiration for the match and the two who women who gave it their best to win.
Ameyuri held up her right sword to the heavens and smiled "Hope you all saw that guys. I'm getting better and better so soon enough I can defend those precious to me and make sure what happened to you guys never happens again under my watch."
"Quite an honorable speech there Ameyuri-chan" said Naruto from behind her. Ameyuri spun around on her toes and saw Naruto standing a few feet away with a smile on his face, the smile she loved more than anything. She tried to walk forward but her legs gave out and she fell but before she could hit the ground Naruto caught her then lifted her up bridal style. Ameyuri seemed a bit surprised and a blush grew on her face but she didn't care because after a few seconds she leaned her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
"What about Yugito?" asked Ameyuri.
"I sent a clone with her to watch over her and talk to her throughout the match. I will take you up to the contestants stands before going to my match, I know you can't walk well anyway so don't argue."
"Haha I wouldn't anyway, it's been far too long since I have been held like this and intend to enjoy it as long as possible" said Ameyuri as she nuzzled her head into his chest making him chuckle a bit. He walked all the way up the stairs before he got to the box and kissed Ameyuri goodbye before setting her down and jumped down to the area with an awaiting Neji.
"So you decided to show after all, Naruto. Fate had decreed you will lose against me so why don't you just forfeit now" said Neji with a confident look on his someone stoic face. Genma looked at the pale kid like he was on drugs or something, had he not heard of what the blonde kid had done in Mizu at all? Whatever, it was this kids funeral, one less stoic and stuck up bastard to deal with in this world, thought Genma before he spoke.
"Match 2, between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuuga, begin!" shouted Genma before jumping back onto the railing at the top of the walls on the arena.
Neji slid into the traditional Hyuuga stance "Prepare to lose, Uzumaki." Naruto sighed then crossed his arms and waited for Neji to attack him and he only had to wait a few seconds before Neji ran at him. Neji went for a simple palm strike to the stomach but Naruto blocked his attack by pushing his hand to the side while sliding into a loose stance to better defend himself. Neji went for a round house kick but Naruto simply stepped back a few steps to avoid the attack while still remaining in his loose stance. Neji growled a bit before he let anger take over him for a brief second and that was all it needed to force him to charge at Naruto blindly. Naruto smirked and dodged another palm strike before slamming his own palm into his stomach and followed up with a spinning heel kick to the right side of Neji's face with his left foot, sending the Hyuuga tumbling across the arena floor before he hit the tree near the edge.
The Raikage whistled "Man, that was some kick. I have got to fight that one sometime."
"I don't think he will take it very well, he is the container for the nine tails after all so he can fight back more than you think" said Hiruzen.
'Don't reveal to much Naruto, I have been covering for you for as long as possible but with so many here I can't keep everything under wraps' thought the third fire shadow as he put his attention back on the match.
Neji stood up shakily as he rubbed his jaw where he was hit, which was now starting to bruise.
'Damn, that kick could have killed me if I moved the wrong way towards his foot. I need to keep my emotions in check, he's trying to anger me, to make me slip up but fate will see the true victor soon' thought Neji as he stood at full height once again.
"Neji, I must say something before we go any further."
"What is it?" asked Neji.
"I must say thank you to you and your clan for helping me create my own taijutsu style. I based your stance off of the beginning stance for my taijutsu as it allows maneuverability to all sides and allows for flexibility and power when needed" said Naruto as Neji studied his stance before his eyes became wide. His stance was like his clans but his legs were closer, his knees bent and his hands were in held in a strange way, the seemed to be missing something but he couldn't tell what.
Hiashi's eyes widened as he watched the match "Incredible, he made his own only by looking at our stance."
"You're not mad father?" asked Hanabi.
"I am a little upset but not angry, besides I can't say he took our stance. It may be similar and he may have admitted using it but he doesn't use the same one so we have no say so against that. We can't punish someone for making a different looking kunai that does different things and we can't do the same with stances. Everyone has their own way of looking at things and making their own after something they have seen."
Neji's byakugan and slid into his family stance "You are in my field of vision." Neji ran at Naruto while Naruto acted quickly and disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared on the other side of the arena with a clone next to him.
Naruto pulled his hand back and said "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" before thrusting his and forward and a high pressure funnel of wind shot out towards Neji.
The other Naruto shouted "Fire Release: Fire Ball Jutsu" and a large fire ball shot out of his mouth and collided with the funnel of wind causing a large explosion of fire to erupt towards Neji.
The two Naruto said "Collaboration: Great Fire Breakthrough!" Then they watched the fire slowly died down and the clone disappeared in a burst of smoke but once Neji could be seen Naruto frowned while Hiashi was once again in disbelief.
"First, this man makes a taijutsu stance similar to ours and now a branch member knows the Kaiten. What else will happen that no one is expecting" said Hiashi. (If only he knew)
"So you know that move as well" said Naruto, a bit surprised at the turn of events.
"Of course, fate has decided me the winner because of my genius."
"Your genius as nothing to do with it, hard work does. You did that off of hard work and you earned it" said Naruto.
"Hard work gets nothing when fate is absolute. I am sure you know of the seal we branch members have and hard work won't get it off. Fate has decreed I must have it on and I shall but fate has also allowed me to become strong enough to show those I am not weak even though I am a branch member. The Heiress is weak, she is timid and cannot stand up for herself as fate has decided."
"Fate is a cowards way of justifying his desires he cannot achieve at that moment. You think that fate runs everything because of the burden you face but you are wrong. You create your destiny; you make your own way, not fate. Now Hinata is weak, timid and is not fit to be a clan leader right now. She needs time, she needs the proper supervision to become a great warrior and an even greater clan leader but your clan is foolish. You think that punishment will help while all it does is hurt, you must try to work on what they want, not what the clan wants. It may take time but change can happen, it just takes more time for others to change then some."
Neji scoffed "Believe what you want, I will show you that fate has proven me the victor and not you."
Naruto growled a bit "I have had enough, I have tried to explain things and I have held back so I can explain the truth but it seems I must beat it into you Hyuuga. Prepare yourself because what happens next fate can't do a thing about it." Neji prepared himself but Naruto disappeared faster than he could follow and the next he knew he doubled over in pain as he was punched in the stomach right before he was kicked in the back, sending him flying across the arena. He flipped in mid air and skidded to a stop and looked forward only to see a dragon made of water coming right at him.
He started to spin fast and released chakra out of all his tenkentsu points "Rotation!" He formed a half sphere of chakra to which the dragon collided with and dispersed into nothing before Neji stopped and smirked.
"So much for your atta-ack!" said Neji as he was gripped by the throat from a clone that had jumped out from the ground under him and held him high for all to see. The clone smirked before he through the boy over his shoulder and Neji heard something he hoped he wouldn't hear.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage" said Naruto as he thrust his palm forward, sending a small ball of pressurized wind at Neji's stomach making the Hyuuga prodigy slam into the concrete arena wall. Neji tried to get out only to be kicked in the stomach, making him cough up blood and struggle to breath. He looked up to see Naruto hand grab his head and yank him out of the wall and thrown him into the center of the ring. Not one to give up, Neji stood up shakily as he tried hard to stay up as the blonde man walked towards him.
"Now do you see how fate means nothing, I still held back and you are barely standing. I admire your courage to stand and I respect you for that but I do not respect your outlook on life, learn to shape your own destiny and you can overcome any obstacle you face."
Neji heard the words and set them aside, he was starting believing them but now was not the time to think, now was the time to fight. He tried to bring up his arms but failed so he decided on one last head on charge, he wouldn't give up, even if his outlook on life had changed over the course of his battle he would not let himself appear weak. Neji made it only three feet before he stopped, feeling cold steel of a blade against his throat. He let his eyes focus once more to see Naruto now held a black sword which was pointed at his neck.
Genma jumped down from his perch and motioned for Naruto to move back, which he did.
"Winner of Match two, Naruto Uzumaki!" shouted Genma as the whole stadium erupted in cheers, besides the civilians of Konoha of course. Naruto let his sword disappear as Neji fell on his back and the medics ran to him.
As the medics neared Neji spoke to Naruto "I may not completely believe what you have told be but I do believe that some of what you said is true. Hard work may not take me to overcome everything but it can help me to overcome many things. I have realized thanks to you that fate is what you do, not something set in stone. So thank you for the lesson that no one had ever bothered to teach me."
Naruto smiled down at the boy "It was nothing, I want this generation to thrive more than any other so I must help my generation out as much as possible. Just remember that you control your destiny and that hard work helps you push your dream along." Neji nodded his head the best he could before he was carried away by the medics and Naruto disappeared in a swirl of water and reappeared in the contestant box.
Genma spoke once everyone had left the arena "Due to Sasuke Uchiha not being here the Kages have decided to postpone the match. Also Kankuro has forfeited before the matches started so we will move to the last round of the first match ups. Shikamaru Nara and Temari of the desert please come down."
Naruto whispered to Shikamaru "Don't show anything new that you have learned from when we became a team. The invasion I told you about has ninja that will be able to figure it out if you give them a lot of time to see how to fight it." Shikamaru nodded his head and walked down the winding steps to the arena while thinking back to what Naruto had told him before they had left for Wave.
Flashback
Shikamaru was sitting in the empty space Naruto had created, taking a short break from all the training they drilled into him in a matter of minutes thanks to Naruto using some unique doujutsu to somehow make it appear as if he had always known it. The genius let his mind rest as Naruto talked to him about his goal to rebuild his home country. He asked Shikamaru if he was willing to join him in some way and he gladly agreed to do so, seeing as he had nothing to do anyway and the system of Konoha was corrupt as it was.
"So we will leave during the chunin exams and use that as a way to leave without too much interference. I know you just learned of this but do you want to join?"
Shikamaru nodded his head "I have been studying the system of Konoha to learn how it works after some false taxes were put on my family for no reason. I learned that after the Kyuubi attack they needed money and found ways to tax clans for things like damages they caused during the attack and somehow it was our problem and we had to pay for it. I later followed where the money went and found out it was given to the civilian council by a man named Danzo to calm their hunger for money. I decided from then I would find a way to leave and my dad, along with our clan as been finding ways to leave as well. I will talk to him and see if this works and if it does then we will go with you, Uzu or not we all want to get out of here."
Naruto nodded his head "Very well, if Uzu is not built by then I will talk to the Mizukage to let you all go over there until it is."
"Wait, it's the Mizukage evil or something?"
Ameyuri laughed "Yes, but we are planning a coup with the seven swordsmen, some blood line users and those who decided to join us in our cause. Now when we get out of here make sure to act none the wiser and reveal this to no one but your clan, make sure everyone knows how important this is that it be kept secret."
Shikamaru nodded his head and stood up before practicing the few jutsu that was implanted in his mind and tried to adapt his families shadow techniques as well. Once they had gotten out and fought there sensei the left. Shikamaru had talked to his family and they had all agreed to leave and a month later after Naruto had taken down the Mizukage he sent a clone to talk to them. They would send small groups of clan members to the slowly rising Uzu to help out and build the clan compounds while starting their forest up once again.
End flashback
Shikamaru now stood in the arena, facing the blonde haired wind user from Suna.
Genma looked at both before he brought his hand down "Begin!" and jumped back onto the walls. (This match will be the same since Shikamaru can't use anything new so it's not any kind of improvement.)
Everyone seemed to sweat drop as they watched Shikamaru walk away, he almost one but he just gave up and walked off. He outplayed Temari and had her in the palm of his hand but simply gave up and walked away like it was nothing.
Naruto smirked 'Good job, keep them thinking you are weak and don't try. I want them to underestimate you because then you can show them how good you really are. I might as well meet you seeing as that Gaara kid isn't doing so well.' Naruto turned and saw Ameyuri nod her head and then he disappeared in a burst of speed, confusing everyone that was watching him.
Shikamaru was walking up the steps when he sensed Naruto appear next to him "How did I do?"
"Good, no better than I expected, everyone thinks your smart but that's it. You have no drive and you can't do much but plan things and with the invasion they will underestimate you seeing as they will think you can't do anything in a massive invasion. Just don't let anyone see anything until the time is right." Shikamaru was going to talk but he was forced out of his thoughts as he felt a massive blood lust start to flow off from in front of them. The duo made it up the stairs and saw the red head from the sand village was standing near two pools of blood and his face was twisting into a menacing and blood thirsty grin.
Naruto smirked and placed a hand on Shikamaru who noticed he didn't feel anything anymore but the sand kids smirk seemed to disappear faster than he expected. He backed up a few steps while his face started to morph into a look of fear. Naruto had used his ability of immunity to blood lust thanks to Hitome and gave it to Shikamaru through touch and unleashed three tails of blood lust at the red head, crushing his blood lust and making him back up in fear.
"Make sure you know who's on the top and don't unleash so much blood lust, it attracts others" said Naruto motioning to the dark corners of the room, making anbu tense up.
Gaara seemed to regain his impassive face and nodded his head "Very well Uzumaki, I shall remember that for next time." Gaara walked past them before Naruto removed his hand from Shikamaru's shoulder and they continued to walk the rest of the way up the stairs to the contestant box.
Naruto saw Gaara enter the ring and right before Genma had said the match was forfeit Kakashi's clone and Sasuke appeared in a swirl of wind. Naruto watched Kakashi disappear, Genma start the match and Sasuke charge Gaara. The match itself wasn't that exciting, simply moves and whatnot. Sasuke almost got impaled by Gaara's sand then he used the Chidori to break through Gaara's defense and land a hit on him and that's when Naruto sensed demonic energy.
'Shukaku will try to take over but it seems he has relative control over it at the current moment. But the more power he gets and the stronger the opponent is the more desperate he will become. I hope Ameyuri and Yugito can handle him because even I'm not sure about what he will do' thought Naruto as he nodded to Ameyuri and Shikamaru who both stood and checked their weapons. Naruto waited and watched, the sand seemed to dissolve to show the weakened and injured figure of Gaara then it happened. Smoke exploded from the Kage's box and Naruto saw three figures jump out of the box and onto the roof while the guards of the Kazekage got in a small fight with the anbu.
Naruto turned to Shikamaru and Ameyuri "Shikamaru make sure Gaara doesn't give far. Ameyuri get Yugito, she's finishing healing up in the medical wing right under us. All of you take out Gaara if he does anything and make sure to cause as much damage as possible to this place. I may not hate it as much as I used to but I still dislike it for what it did to the Uzumaki's and I want them to suffer for it." Both nodded their heads and left to go to their assigned tasks while Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Today was not Orochimaru's day at all. First he got to the kage's box to see the Raikage, someone who could throw a big wrench in his plans and then Gaara goes crazy before the invasion time. The worst part was he had Naruto jump in at the last second then the third Hokage stopped him from summoning the fourth, possibly his only change to fend off the two possibly three kage level ninja.
"Well fancy meeting you here, Orochimaru. How have you been this past month?" asked Naruto as he activated his doujutsu incase one of the two undead kages attacked him. Naruto used small talk like this to help him gain a bit more time to plan a course of action and he had a pretty good one down.
"I've been better but sadly I can't talk, I've got a village to take over after all" said Orochimaru as he threw two kunai at the kages heads.
"Hiruzen, A I have a plan to take out the kages but I need your help. Orochimaru can only keep that jutsu going for so long so I plan to have you two fight Tobimara while I fight Hashirama. A, your speed is just as fast as his so be alert and Hiruzen attack whenever you see an opening, provide support for A. Don't let his water jutsu hit A, use anything you have to fend them off or get A out of there. Got it?" asked Naruto, leaving two shocked Kages. This boy who they had barely met just asses a situation between four kages and found there two best strengths to fight and picked the best man to pair up against.
'So that's what pop said was a reason Uzumaki's were feared across the elemental nations, they could make up strategies like this in a split second. I may not fear this boy much right now but he will defiantly be a good ally in the future' thought A.
'Amazing, you deduced our fighting styles and theirs and paired us up so quickly. You truly are her son to be able to do that faster than I or even Minato could' though Hiruzen.
"But what about you?" asked A, curious as to how the boy would take on a kage, especially one of his caliber.
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can use to start things off and give me more time to think of a plan to fight them. Just let me start things off and then you two can have your fun" said Naruto as his cloak unzipped to show him wearing a simply black shirt and black pants but he had two strange objects on his hips. He pulled one out with right hand and everyone, including the sound four who had recently made a barrier appear around them.
The object was indescribable to everyone, it had a barrel at the tip that reached into the main part of the object. The barrel connected to a wood handle that held a bit of the barrel and let Naruto hold the object. There were other parts to it was too hard to describe any of it. (Pirate age pistol)
"I made this recently, I call it a gun. I had an idea for other uses like mass production and using other means to power it but my method kept it simple yet powerful" said Naruto as he pointed it at Hashirama. He pulled a lever back with his thumb and visible chakra from the surrounding area seemed to swirl into the small hole that the lever covered up. Hiruzen would describe the swirling similar to how a rasengan is dispersed, wisps of chakra flying out of its ball form. Naruto let go of the hammer and gripped the gun tightly before he pulled another lever at the bottom, causing a loud bang before a compressed ball of chakra was send out at Hashirama and speeds he struggled to follow. Thinking quickly he summoned a wall of wood six inches thick but the compressed ball tore through the wood like paper and then tore through Hashirama then turned into flames when it touched the purple wall.
Naruto smirked "Like it? This can revolutionize fighting but this is next to impossible to recreate and I won't tell you how it's don't so you can't make it."
"What?" asked Orochimaru before Naruto pulled out the other with his left hand and this time when he loaded the gun the chakra that was seen was red in color. Naruto shot the compressed ball of chakra at the two but this time Hashirama used three feet of wood, hoping that would be enough to stop it. To everyone's surprise the red ball of compressed chakra hit then exploded, covering them in a small cloud of dust.
"Alright, new information, when they are fatally injured they can't move until it has been healed. Now go after Tobimara, I have to try and subdue Hashirama" said Naruto before he charged into the cloud of dust and a few seconds later Naruto and Hashirama jumped out to the right and the dust settled to show Tobimara.
A's body was suddenly covered in lightning "I will attack first and make an opening, give me a few minutes to make one."
"Alright, while you do that I will think of a more permanent way to dispose of him then we need to get to Naruto. He may be strong but that is the strongest Kage to ever live so I don't know how long he can hold him off" said Hiruzen as A nodded his head before charging the second hokage.
Naruto ran off to the other side of the roof top to hopefully give him some space so his moves could be kept secret from the other kages. Naruto stopped abruptly then turned and delivered a quick palm strike to Hashirama's stomach, sending him skidding across the roof.
"Not bad, I didn't think someone so young could be this good. I wonder what else you could be hiding" said Hashirama.
"Well using only taijutsu won't get you anywhere and with these eyes I can read most of your movements. I am quite flattered that the first hokage things so highly of me but I have only gotten the upper hand because I have things no one else does and because you're not at full strength."
"Oh so you know?"
"Of course, you would have been able to block that palm strike if you were. I used that to see if what I thought was true and thankfully it was. I know I can't fight you at full power, at least not without laying my life on the line to do so."
Hashirama seemed become more serious "You're the new nine tails container, aren't you?"
"Yes, how else did you think I made such a small attack explode all that wood you created?" asked Naruto as he slowly sent chakra to release a seal on top of Hitome's seal. He knew it would take a bit so he had decided to go ahead and loosen the seal now in case he needs to break it to fight."
"Sorry but I can't talk anymore, the kunai that man put in my head is forcing me to fight. Just know to be on guard, I may only be at about 40% full power but that doesn't mean I can't use powerful jutsu." Naruto nodded his head before he slid into his usual stance and waited for Hashirama to attack and he didn't have to wait long as the man's body was forced to run forward to attack him.
Naruto leaned to the right to dodge a fist then tried to knee the kage in the stomach only for him to catch his knee with his hand then deliver a blow to his ribs, sending the blonde to the side. Naruto back flipped then ducked under a kick and stabbed Hashirama in the back of the head before throwing his body to the edge of the barrier.
Naruto wasted no time and went through a few hand signs and said "Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" He blew out a large ball of fire from his mouth and straight at the now recovered and fully healed first Hokage.
"Not bad but not good enough "Wood Release Secret Technique: Birth of Dense Woodland!" Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he saw tree's start to grow from the roof top, not just small tree's but one fully grown tree was made in a few seconds. Acting quickly Naruto summoned his swords and jumped back while he cut away at the roots trying to grab onto him. He knew trying to do hand signs was useless since he had to focus on the roots to much so he just focused on moving around as much as possible while not getting caught. It worked for about thirty seconds before his leg was caught, he tried to cut it with his sword but his wrist was caught up and soon his whole body was completely covered in roots as he was hoisted high in the air. He turned his head to see A thrown across the roof by a large water dragon and Hiruzen was kicked by Tobimara and send flying right next to A.
Then he heard Hashirama speak "You know, you're the strongest kid your age I've ever met, I'm sorry I am being forced to kill you."
Naruto chuckled as he looked at Hashirama "You don't have to be sorry for something that won't happen."
"Hitome-chan I have to undo the seal that I told you and Mito about. I might have to use that thing I told you to make to get better but I won't be in there for more that six months at the most" said Naruto through the mental link.
"Alright, I am the house with Mito and Hakai finished up the sealing then I will head over to help with Gaara if the need any. Just try to finish as quickly as possible, I don't want you to hurt yourself more than necessary."
"I will try to Hitome-chan" and Naruto cut the mental link for everyone. The link sent small images of the partner if the person was in danger or in pain so he didn't want Hitome or Ameyuri to come and intervene.
"Sorry Hashirama but I can't stay here much longer and I can't hold back if I want to leave. Sealing Matrix Release" said Naruto before the seal on his stomach seemed to branch out and cover his whole body before crimson aura started to flow off of him. Hashirama though he was going to try and call on the bjiuu's chakra but he noticed it felt different right before a red beam of energy shot out from the ground and into the sky.
The energy that was excluded from the beam of light was even larger than when any of the men on the roof had ever experienced. Orochimaru was in shock, this boy he thought was nothing but someone who had a bijuu in him was emitting massive energy and the light from it pierced the seal he had found a while back.
The light soon died down and showed Naruto standing on the roof and unharmed in any way. He looked at the shocked face of Hashirama and then turned to the other kages and Orochimaru. He saw Tobimara had broken out of his shock first and sent a large water dragon straight at him. The blonde simple held out his hand and the attack stopped dead in its tracks when it touched only the tip of his middle finger but Naruto flicked his wrist down, making the dragon disperse into nothing.
"H-how?" stuttered Orochimaru in shock as he stepped back a few feet.
"This is the power of someone from a place far away from here. The power to control and govern all, the power rivaled by none in this dimension or any other. This is the power of the noblesse, the most powerful being to ever exist and with his power I shall end this battle" said Naruto. Then he held his left hand out to stop a large tree that was thrown at him and then blood started to swirl around Naruto hand and shot out a large cyclone of blood at the first Hokage. The kage jumped to the side and up but a smaller cyclone shout out of it and hit him square in the chest before slamming him into the ground and leaving a gaping hole in his chest.
Naruto turned his head to see a large wall of water coming at him so he held his right hand out and a red force field appeared as the water hit and simply washed around the orb of energy. Once the water had dissipated Naruto pointed his two first fingers at the second hokage before pointed upwards and a blood cyclone appeared under his feet and engulfed the second hokage faster than he could react. It was only a few second but after the blood had stopped and dissipated into nothing the kages body could be seen reforming from nothing.
Naruto sensed another attack from his left side but he couldn't stop it since he coughed up blood and staggered backwards a bit as he used his right hand to cover his mouth. Naruto looked weakly to the left to see a large chunk of wood shoot directly at him but before it hit him Hiruzen appeared with his Bo staff and knocked the large piece of wood away.
"It seems with all that power comes a deadly price" said A as he walked up to Naruto and his body once again lit up with lightning.
"I thought you hated me, Hiruzen" said Naruto weakly as he wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up straight.
Hiruzen looked back and smiled "I never could, my boy. I didn't act on anything you did because I wanted you to live your own life, free of the council controlling you and free of the failing system of Konoha. I knew the system would fall soon so I decided to cover up anything dealing with you and didn't talk to you about it so no one wondered why you would come to my office for personal calls."
Naruto smiled a bit and was going to speak but couldn't because he heard the shouts of "Water Release: Water Dragon Missile!" "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!" All three men saw two large dragons coming at them at blinding speeds.
Naruto's doujutsu glowed bright red before the whole roof top started to shake and as the water dragon neared A, a large dragon made completely of blood shot up from the roof (Has just long body and wings along with small arms/legs). It grabbed the water dragon by the throat and the dragon dispersed into water and then the blood dragon flew to the very top of the purple barrier before it went into a complete downward free fall.
Hiruzen prepared to face the wood dragon closing in on him but before it could reach him the blood dragon slammed into the wood dragon and wrapped it's self around the wood dragon. Both seemed to struggle for a while, the wood dragon seemed to be winning but then the wood dragon seemed to suddenly crack before falling into small pieces of wood that slowly died and disappeared. Naruto looked at Hashirama who smiled and nodded his head as his body started to disappear along with Tobimara's. Naruto could think of only one thing that could cause that and his thoughts were confirmed when he turned to see Hiruzen holding on to Orochimaru along with the death god behind Hiruzen, pulling Orochimaru's soul out of his body. However Naruto could tell Hiruzen didn't have the power to pull his whole soul out and noticed that Orochimaru's arms were now black and unusable and understood what Hiruzen was trying to do.
Hiruzen turned to Naruto "Leave while you can, my boy. Take your friends and leave this village, it's falling apart and I don't think even you could save it. I know you have been to Uzu because it would be the only place close to wave for you to leave the team and go there. Bring it back to its former glory, with the help of Mizu and Kiri, which I assume with how you knew A's fighting skills you fought him for an alliance, you should be able to bring your clan to great heights."
Naruto nodded his head "You know, I hated you for so long but when you stopped talking to me I was happy, I would never have to see you again. But after all this and I learned you tried to protect me I will make sure to tell Konoha why it failed. I will tell them they used the greatest man to ever run this village and ran him to the point to no longer believe in his own village. I will let my clan know of the great Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage and one of the greatest man I have ever met, even if the time I knew you was short. I can't wait to meet you in the afterlife one day." Hiruzen looked shocked as he shed a single tear and nodded his head before he focused his energy back on Orochimaru.
"A, get your men and leave once this field goes down or they might attack you as well. I will have Yugito travel back and forth from our villages to so you may see her as well. I will be out of contact for a few months so don't expect to see me for a bit" said Naruto getting a slight nod from A as he prepared to leave. Naruto turned to one of the four corners and nodded his head and the inner barrier protecting the corner disappeared to show Tayuya. She let her hands go of the barrier seal and the seal did nothing at first but slowly started to disappear and open up on some areas since it lost a source of power. Naruto looked to the outer wall of the village to see Shukaku but it only last for a second before a large sealing matrix covered him and the beast disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
Naruto grabbed Tayuya's shoulder "We need to go as fast as possible" before they disappeared in a flash of white.

Mito huffed, she had finished sealing everything but now she could sense a bijuu near the house and it seemed go slowly get closer. She told Hakai to say inside as she pulled out a small sealing tag she kept on her dresser and ran outside and towards the demon.
It was a few minutes later when she saw the demon but it was facing the other way, from what she sensed it was fighting Ameyuri and Yugito while one of Naruto's other friends was off in the distance fighting a few other men. Mito took this as the perfect time to attack, she channeled a bit of chakra to her legs and pushed off the tree limb, rocketing towards the bijuu's head. She landed right on its shoulder and as soon as she had the bijuu freaked out, trying to get her off. She dodged a few claws and ran to the other side where the boy was sleeping on the demon's head. She placed the seal on his stomach and in a second a large sealing matrix covered the large bijuu before the bijuu disappeared and both container and Uzumaki were sent falling to the ground. Mito managed to land in a tree then hit the ground to stop her fall but the container landed face up on the ground. She, along with Ameyuri, Yugito and Naruto's teammate appeared in the small clearing.
"You just had to come in and take the win" said Ameyuri as she put her swords back on her sides as Yugito retracted her claws and Shikamaru seemed to retract blades from his wrists.
"Well we do need to leave soon so I had to" said Mito as she looked at the red head who was trying to crawl backwards.
Gaara flinched "Don't get near me! I don't want to lose my existence! You took mother from me and now you're going to take my existence but I won't allow it!"
"Existence is now how you see it as, it is being able to help those you love" said a voice from behind Gaara. He turned around to see the blonde who had fought the pale skinned boy and the man mother had said to say away from.
"Don't let the bijuu you call mother run your life, it only wants things for its on gain, not yours. Your siblings love you but you keep them at a distance because of some voice in your head, let them in because they can help you. Try to show them love and they can show you the same, trust me when I say it can help you" said Naruto as he walked to where his friends stood.
"How could you know, you never suffered like I did!" shouted Gaara.
"I did, I suffered for a while as a child but I let people in. I learned to love and that saved me from becoming a dark person like you."
Gaara seemed to second guess himself for a second, Naruto could tell he was thinking about it but it would take time for him to get used to it and he couldn't force the boy to do anything.
"I know it goes against what you have known and thought for most of your life but give it a try. It can't hurt to try it and the seal Mito used will keep your bijuu from talking to you so you no longer have to worry." Gaara looked down and thought to himself but he was forced out of his thoughts when his two siblings arrived and stood in front of him in defensive positions.
"Stand down, you two" said Gaara as he slowly stood up with the help of Kankuro.
"I hope to see you at a later date, Uzumaki" said Gaara and Naruto nodded his head.
"Thank you, both of you" said Gaara to his siblings, making them stop again.
"Yeah, its fine" said Kankuro as he took off towards the sand village with Gaara on his back.
"Thank you, for whatever you said to him it seemed to help a bit. I only hope his behavior lasts" said Temari before jumping off towards the direction Kankuro went.
Naruto sighed "Alright, the house it's far from here. Let's get the stuff and head to Uzu, I think A will be leaving soon and they will start cracking down on those leaving the village." He got a few 'ok's' before they took off towards the house and after a short run they made it. Mito ran inside to get the stuff sealed away and grab Hakai. Naruto turned around to see the village, it looked almost normal besides the fires around the stadium and around the border. He closed his eyes and felt the wind flow around him as he enjoyed the somewhat peaceful area he was on since he was a good distance away from the fighting. He felt Ameyuri lean on his shoulder and Yugito walk up to his side and grab his hand while Hitome walked up from behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. They stayed like that for a minute or so before he heard someone cough from behind them. The girls got off and he turned around to see Mito with Hakai and Shikamaru to her sides.
"Ready to go?" asked Mito. Naruto smiled and walked up to her and gave her a quick kiss before speaking.
"Yes, I will lead in case we encounter anything." He got no arguments so he took off deeper into the forest towards the coast line and towards Uzu from there. Mito was right behind him and she was thinking about what kind of security seals to use when she felt something wet hit her cheek, assuming it was rain she went to wipe it off but when she did she felt it was a bit thicker than water. She looked at her hand and noticed that it was blood and the only person it could come from would be Naruto. She pushed off a bit harder on the next limb and got next to him on his right side. Mito looked to her left and saw he was bleeding through his mouth and the corner of his eye, she only knew one thing that could cause that from what he had told her.
"So there is a drawback to using his power" said Mito and Naruto kept looking forward.
"Yes, it is supposed to take my life force but since having Hitome in me and my swords they stop my powers from taking any of my extremely long life. It just weakens my body when I use it, all I require is sleep and quite a bit of it. I will explain more later but right now please be quite about it, I don't want to deal with the girls freaking out on the way there" said Naruto. Mito seemed a bit depressed but hide it quickly before she fell back a bit to be behind Naruto again. They continued on the same path for close to three hours before they reached a clearing and in the clearing was two men in black cloaks and red clouds.
Yugito stepped back a bit "T-that's the people hunting containers!" As soon as she said that everyone besides Naruto immediately took defensive stances. Naruto turned to the group and held his hand out as a way to tell them to stand down, which everyone did but kept their eyes on the two men for any sudden movements. He walked forward and noticed the large bandaged sword on the back of one of the figures and saw the red eyes of the other one and knew it was the men he had been expected.
"It took you a bit to get here" said Naruto as he now stood a few feet away from them.
"I could say the same for you, we have been waiting here for an hour" said the figure with the large sword.
"So mean, Kisame" said Naruto making the other figure chuckled a bit.
"I believe that we should get going seeing as you aren't doing so good" said the other figure.
"That would be best, Itachi" said Naruto before motioning for his group to walk forward. They walked forward with Yugito in the back, close to Ameyuri in case anything happened.
"Everyone this is Kiri's agent inside the Akatsuki, Kisame. Next to him is a ninja that used to give intel to Konoha and is now one of my men, Itachi." After he had told them who they were the group seemed to slowly be more warming to them but Naruto spoke again before anyone could really talk.
"We may be out of the border but we still need get going, it's only another two hours to the shore line and another hour to Uzu if we hurry" said Naruto and immediately everyone took off to the shore line. It was a hard run but within four hours and very little break they made it to Uzu faster than anyone had expected to get there. No one besides Mito, Itachi and Kisame noticed Naruto had slowed down a bit and he was looking paler and paler by the minute.
"Alright guys, follow me and we can go to the kage tower and we can discuss what we will do their" said Naruto before he walked towards the large gates of the village. The whole village seemed to have been redone from when Naruto and Mito had been there. The gate now had large metal doors and the surrounding area was all three foot thick metal, something Naruto thought was needed in case of an attack. Once inside they saw the whole village now had houses, shops and other buildings all in it, nothing like the wasteland Naruto remembered.
The outer part of the city was not too busy, there were people there but not like the great nations. Naruto remembered a few from wave and some from a few smaller countries he had met in his travels with the seven swordsmen. Once they reached the clan area's where Mito had showed Naruto the seals he saw a few minor clans from the villages he travelled and the Nara clan had taken one of the clan houses closest to the forest on the edge of the village that was still there from the war. The whole way up there everyone besides Naruto and Hitome wondered who could have done this when Naruto wasn't here and when they asked him he remained silence and faced forward to keep it a secret along with his sickness. They walked up the stairs and walked to the door that led to the kages room and they could hear some people talking in there. Naruto opened the door and everyone besides Hitome looked shocked at what they saw.
Sitting at the kage table was Kushina Uzumaki and to her left was someone no one thought was still alive, Haku.
"How have you been, Kushina, Haku?" asked Naruto as he walked forward. Both girls looked up and smiled a bit before speaking.
"We have been good how…..about…you" said Kushina as she got a good view at Naruto.
"I have been good Kushina, thank you" said Naruto, trying to sound as normal as possible even though his body was starting to have trouble.
"Now I do have a question, did you and Haku get all these people here and set up the village?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, we got the villages you told me to get from the edge of Konoha and other countries along with wave. Tazuna and some other men helped build the walls and the buildings that got destroyed. We have close to three hundred men and women to fight. Over 30 anbu level, close to 100 jonin level, another 130 chunin level and about 40 genin level. We plan to double or triple our numbers close to 3 years from now but that's if we can really push to get some rouge ninja and others from Mizu and the new alliance you talked about with Kiri" said Kushina as she stood up and walked up to Naruto, along with Haku.
"Alright good" said Naruto before he walked to the desk and sat down but once he did he heard a gasp from Yugito and the few who hadn't seen him were in shock.
"I have an announcement to make, I will be leaving for about six months and it does have to do with me being injured. Now, I shall explain a bit about why I am leaving and what will happen while I am gone and once I get back. You all know about the powers I got from him when I was healing in Mizu and how strong the powers were. Well power on that scale comes at a price, the original owner lost life force but thanks to Hitome and my sword sprits Mika and Keyomi, made it to where I just seemed to bleed a bit from my mouth, eyes and ears if the powers are used too much and I become weak and tired. All I require is a long rest and I shall be fine so I will sleep in a specially made coffin for six months and I will be back. I will rest in a chamber under the tower so my body won't be far if anything happens.
Now the plans I have for when I am gone and when I get back are simple but will help our village a lot. I need you all to help train the ninja who have joined up and to train yourselves as well. No matter how strong you are you can always be stronger, use the jutsu Uzu has to offer and learn some more advanced seals. Ameyuri and Kisame, train all the swordsmen to be even greater than they are now. Itachi, train people in genjutsu and taijutsu while Shikamaru teaches tactics and a few other things I will talk about when I wake up. Mito and Kushina, teach everyone about seals and try to experiment with some that will protect the village in case of an attack. Hitome, I want you to try and learn some advanced fire jutsu and try to become more resistant to genjutsu, ask Itachi for help with that. Haku I want you to try and learn more about what you love to do besides ice, learn healing or seals or possibly both if you are interested since we have very few medics. Kakashi, train you're sharingan to make it use as little chakra as possible and ask Itachi for pointers and help when you need it. Is this good for everyone?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah but what about the swords from the seven?" asked Kisame.
"I buried those with Mangetsu, I want them to stay buried as respect to them. Any other questions before I go?" He got no answer so he stood up and wiped the blood from his left eye and the left corner of his mouth. Naruto walked around the desk and hugged Ameyuri tightly then kissed her on the lips before doing the same to Mito, Yugito and Hitome before he walked to the door.
"I hope all of you exceed my expectations and I can't wait to see what you all come up with" said Naruto.
Everyone stood at attention and bowed before speaking together "Hai, Uzukage-sama!" Naruto smiled at the group before he opened the door and walked downstairs. He walked to the basement, a large room that was pure white like hospital but in the middle was a coffin with a gold cross on it. Naruto walked up to it and saw the seals embedded in the coffin, it was made to put him in a stasis like state for whatever time he wished and he fed six short pulses of chakra into it, meaning six months. He opened the coffin to see it lined with red velvet before he laid down inside and watched it slowly close and thought 'Let's hope when I awake I can rebuild Uzu fast or else Konoha might try to fight back. They may be down a leader but they still have strong ninja that might cause problems later.'
