"every man dies. Not every man really lives"-William Wallace

Hiruzen took a deep puff from his pipe before speaking. "to think that that old man Onoki understood that what Minato did was for his village and that war has casualties" Hiruzen said. Kakashi Asuma and Kurenai were not doing any better than Hiruzen in hiding their shock.

Kakashi spoke first "to be blunt Naruto I can't believe you did that and are still standing here" Kakashi said. Asuma nodded agreeing with Kakashi his smoke long ago forgot on the floor having fallen out of his mouth. Kurenai was the most odd she hadn't said hardly anything and just look at Naruto or Sasuke doing certain parts of their tale.

"another thing jiji Onoki-jiji said he would come to my exam and see how konoha reacted to his presence and that if me and Sasuke did well he would propose a treaty with konoha" Naruto said shocking everyone but Sasuke. Hiruzen chuckled slightly "you never stop amazing me Naruto, but what you say about Madara being alive troubles me but that is for another day please continue" Hiruzen said.

Naruto nodded and restarted his tale "well the last place we had to go to find the other two jinchuriki was Kumo" Naruto said with a slight smirk.

-Flashback-

Naruto and his family had left iwa almost a week ago and were almost at kumo if the giant gate in the distance was anything to go by. Like at the other villages Jiraiya had said his name and that he wished to meet their kage and then they were on their way to the Raikage's office.

The first thing Naruto thought once entering the office and sensing Ay's chakra levels was danger, they were larger than his ero-jiji's but less than his own. Ay looked up from his paperwork and stopped what he was doing when he noticed his audience.

Ay was a large tanned man who wore his kage hat on his head hiding his slick backed whitish blonde hair, but the most notable features were his bare chest which showed his hard earned shinobi muscles along with the large gold weights he had on his arms and the boar head belt buckle he wore.

Ay quickly placed his weight down that he was lifting to acknowledge his guests. "what is the reason of this visit Jiraiya-dono Tsunade-dono?" Ay asked. While suspicious of their arrival Ay held great respect for the two in front of him Jiraiya was the teacher of his only rival in speed and Tsunade was the prime example of what a kunoichi should be like.

Like before it was naruto who stepped forward "Raikage-sama we are here because of my request, Jiraiya and Tsunade are my grandparents and my parents are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, we have come here because on my birthday much happened. As you know Raikage-sama my mother was the previous host of the kyuubi so when she gave birth to me her seal was weakened but I believe that the only reason the kyuubi escaped was because of Madara Uchiha." Naruto said.

Naruto then went on for a while to tell Ay all the details he knew about that night and his jinchuriki status and goal. "your goal is indeed admirable Naruto but I must ask what your purpose for meeting the other jinchuriki is?" Ay asked. "I believe that the jinchuriki are part of the answer for peace, my jiji said that for true peace to be possible then people would have to understand one another and I believe that jinchuriki have something to do with that" Naruto said.

Ay nodded his head accepting Narutos answer "very well I will let you meet my jinchuriki however I am very protective of them so there is a condition will you agree to it?" Ay asked. Naruto thought it over for a minute before he nodded if a bit slowly. "I like you already kid you got guts you don't even know the condition but are willing to agree very well the term is that you have to fight me until I determine if you are worthy of meeting my jinchuriki or not" Ay said.

Everyone in the room looked at Ay like he was crazy "I accept only if I may add something to the term Raikage-sama" Naruto said. Ay's smile almost split his face 'agreeing and asking to add a term you already have the guts kid now what about the skill' "what is this term?" Ay asked. Naruto looked over to Sasuke who nodded showing he understood "instead of just me I wish to fight alongside my friend Sasuke against you" Naruto said.

Ay looked over to the other boy and saw his determination was just as fierce as Naruto's so he smiled "very well go to this address I will be there shortly there are a few who will like to see this fight" Ay said. Naruto nodded and took the paper with the address and headed out.

When Naruto and Sasuke got to the clearing they started to formulate a battle plan while waiting for the Raikage to show up. It only took the Raikage a few minutes to arrive and when he did with him was one man who appeared to be a jounin and also looked a lot like the Raikage and four genin who looked one year older then Sasuke and Naruto.

Ay turned to Naruto and Sasuke and addressed them "this is my brother Killer Bee and his students they will be watching the fight" Ay said. Naruto and Sasuke nodded while sitting up and going to the center of the field and then turning to Ay who was facing them. Ay Naruto and Sasuke nodded to one another, and then Jiraiya came between the three and raised his hand and then brought it down shouting "begin!"

Naruto and Sasuke quickly jumped backwards right next to each other but noticed Ay hadn't moved at all 'that will be his mistake underestimating us' Naruto thought. Naruto then turned to Sasuke and nodded Sasuke activated his sharingan and then raised his left hand and put it next to Naruto's right.

Naruto's right hand and Sasuke's left were touching like in a pray motion but what confused everyone was that both had their eyes closed. What happened next surprised everyone Naruto and Sasuke both opened their eyes and with the hand that had been together both started rapidly going through one handed handsigns with that hand, but doing different handsigns before they both brought their hands back into the pray motion.

'Katon: Dragon Flame Bomb' Sasuke thought.

'Futon: Great Breakthrough' Naruto thought.

Naruto and Sasuke both then opened their mouths and let their fire and wind mix creating a giant line of white hot flames that were flying straight at Ay extremely fast. Ay smirked surprised he was truly surprised not only did those two just pull off one hand seals and a human collaboration jutsu but the jutsu was really strong he didn't think that he would have to do what he was going to.

Everyone else looked in shock even Jiraiya and Tsunade they had no idea Naruto and Sasuke could do one handed seals. Everyone then looked back to the fight when they heard loud crackling and all the kumo ninja there gasped.

'so there it is' was Naruto and Sasukes collective thought. Ay had a large grin on his face "that was very impressive what you two just did not only did you come at me with the intent to kill but you even might have killed me if not for my Raiton no Yoroi all because I underestimated you two" Ay said.

Naruto eyed Ay very cautiously before smirking before he and Sasuke joined their hand again. Ay saw this and narrowed his eyes 'not again brats' Ay thought before he appeared right in front of Sasuke and Naruto shocking them with his speed.

However on the sidelines Bees eyes narrowed behind his glasses 'even if for an instant bro just went full speed against those two is what they did earlier really that strong' Bee thought. Ay lifted Naruto and Sasuke up by their heads "that was very good what you two did but I can't let you do it again" Ay said but was surprised when Naruto and Sasuke both smirked and held up the same hand sign.

When they put up the handsign everyone was shocked when Ay's Raiton no Yoroi turned off and Ay slumped to his knees, but it was also that instant Naruto nodded and Sasuke smirked and looked into the Raikage's eyes, but no one other than Naruto noticed as Sasukes eyes slipped into a six pointed star design.

"it's over" Naruto and Sasuke said together as the moved away from the unmoving Raikage, Sasuke having already turned off his sharingan and panting heavily while Naruto looked ok but was also winded. Everyone was shocked Naruto and Sasuke had just beat the Raikage. "wow they beat bro" Killer Bee said not even with a rap which shocked his genin from what he said and that he didn't rap.

Ay was quickly standing again but noticed two kunai at his throat "you-you two beat me" Ay said Naruto and Sasuke shook their heads then fell to their butts and Naruto spoke up. "not really Raikage-sama only me and Sasuke could do what we just did" Naruto said.

Ay narrowed his eyes "explain" he said. "this was all according to plan" Naruto said before he and Sasuke sat up their breathing not as labored and the others came over wanting to hear what Naruto and Sasuke had to say. "the first step was to get you to use your Raiton no Yoroi which we did be surprising you and you underestimating us, once you activated your armor Sasuke and I analyzed it while formulating a plan. Once we hand it we brought our hands together again which served two purposes one to make you think we were doing another jutsu so you would stop us and two for me to apply seals to mine and Sasukes hand which is what we placed on you when you grabbed our heads" Naruto said.

By now everyone was listening and was very surprised. "the two seals were what we had analyzed was needed to beat you, on my hand was the one activated first that stopped your Raiton no Yoroi, when you activated it I noticed it was instant and required no hand seals which meant you had to have been actively putting out chakra to maintain it. What my seal did was temporarily stop your chakra flow which also stopped the Raiton no Yoroi, then came Sasuke's seal. Sasukes seal would instantly apply five times the gravity on you stopping you from activating your armor in surprise which gave Sasuke one instant to use his sharingan and use his strongest genjutsu on you" Naruto said, 'well almost strongest' Naruto thought.

'amazing to pull off what these two did' Ay thought. "you two are something else I can tell you will go far, for not only having the guts and will to fight me but to actually beat me I will allow you to meet the other jinchuriki and maybe something else" Ay said as an afterthought.

When Bee heard his brother say other jinchuriki he knew one of them was a jinchuriki so he went forward. "yo I'm Killer Bee jinchuriki of eight-o nice to meet you nine-o" Bee said in his rap and then put his fist toward Naruto. Naruto looked at the fist strangely before he bumped fists with Bee.

"yo you got spirit and heart and a drive to protect what's important like bro said you will go far" Bee said. Naruto nodded his head before he felt something; like Bee had done he started reading what's in Bee's heart. "I see so you found your sun to fill the hole you are indeed special Bee-san" Naruto said with a smile.

Bee looked shocked before he smiled also and pushed the four genin forward and raped again. "these be the mighty students of the mighty Killer Bee WHEE" Bee said. Everyone sweat dropped while Omoi stepped forward. "I'm Omoi nice to meet you, but what if you being here destroys kumo and then I'm responsible and then Raikage-sama banishes me and then…" Omoi said before Karui hit him while yelling SHUT UP and then stepped forward.

"I'm Karui" she said. "that idiot Omoi is always going on and on just ignore him" she said. Naruto chuckled at their antics before he stepped towards the other two. "I'm Samui it's nice to meet you and that was pretty cool what you did to Raikage-sama" Samui said.

The last to step forward was hesitant like afraid, Naruto had a feeling he knew what was going on and did something that surprised everyone. Naruto opened his arms wide like he wanted a hug and then nine fox tails and fox ears appeared on him. Everyone was shocked but none more than Yugito.

Naruto was staring right into Yugito's eyes and was seeing all the emotions passing through her but the most notable was joy. Yugito then sprouted blue cat like ears and two blue cat like tails that almost looked like fire. Yugito then went forward and spoke.

"I'm Yugito Nii it's really nice to meet you I'm glad there is someone else like me" Yugito said. And so over the next year Naruto and his family got acquainted with kumo.
