'This must be what heaven feels like I've never really been at this much peace.'

Thought the blonde as he stood on the balcony to his quarters and sighed contently as he overlooked the ever growing state of Jing he could see the road which moved out through the various housing and made its way to the different districts.

The blonde's eyes caught the sights of the docks where ships moved back and forth in their usual pattern several guard junks. That were moving with the merchant ships from Jing and it's trade partners Joshiro village as well as the Land of Tea with others soon to follow. He had seen the numbers the Minister of trade a Stone ninja and the brother to a member of the Silver Oyster Group named Taketsuchi had brought him and they looked good very good .

'If everything goes according to my plan or Taketsuchi's projections if things get bad we'll still be growing more than either of us had initially expected and from the message I've gotten form Yakumo chan that she gave to one of my few remaining shadow clones in the elementals they will be coming with a number of people soon as well. It's a good thing I ordered the Building Construction divison to organize some workers for more projects in expanding.'

He thought as he had really failed to realize just how useful and helpful earth Ninjutsu was in creating the land that was now making new land for the ever expanding state to thrive on.

''Naruto where are you?''

Hearing this he turned and smiled saying.

''Over here Sasame chan Ryuzetsu left early so you can come and talk freely.

Chuckling a bit she said to him.

''I think I will get dressed first but I'm surprised she was willing to take the couch for me to sleep with you tonight.''

She said and the blonde said.

''I know I talked to her about this well about my clan and she said she understood and needed help to resurrect her own clan she figures that any children we all have together can take each other's clan names to boost our numbers. Especially since she says there's a likely chance we won't be the only ones in this group though I don't think what she says is likely to happen.'

The blonde said as he counted himself lucky to have one great girlfriend let alone two however hearing this Sasame sighed and said.

''You really don't know what women are willing to do for love or the possibility of a love filled life do you Naruto?''

Hearing this the blonde said.

''Hey what's that supposed to mean?''

Smirking the Fuma said back to him .

''Oh nothing it's just my cousin was right some men really are clueless to the true nature of women's hearts sometimes.''

Hearing this he said.

''Oh yeah well I know when I kiss you like this and this it drives you crazy especially when I nibble here.''

Said the blonde kissing her at her neck in three spots making her shiver and then moan as he nibbled on her ear a slight bit .The blonde was then shocked but less then than the first time as he was grabbed and thrown on the bed which was to the left of the balcony he laughed as the Fuma pounced on him nd two began to kiss enjoying the presence of each other al lover again.

Minsitry of Sea Main Office.

Numishura Mizura sighed as he looked over the reports for the ships and at the sailor in front of him who was clearly ab it nervous he smirked before stamping in and saying .

''Well everything appears to be in order request approved as long as the Akagi clan agrees you may bring these wares to the Land of Tea without problem. Though I do advise caution we have not had this many ships head out at once with this many wares .''

''I will thank you for approving the mission it will truly help my business flourish Lord Mizuhura?''

Waving the man off he said to him.

''My job is to ensure that maritime trade and fleets are both protected as much as possible the fact that it benefits not only you but Jing is a fact. However your people are citizens of the state they deserve protection from the dangers of the sea as much as possible and I will as long as I hold this post make sure such a thing happens as long as I can with our fleet.''

He said and the trader bowed before taking leave making the man sigh and take out a flask of water and begin to drink before letting out a loud satisfying breath though he nearly dropped it as he heard.

''Drinking this early Mizhura?''

Cursing he looked at the woman who said who had a smirk on her face and smirked back saying.

''No but I might consider it with you here now so what do you need Ryuzetsu?''

Hearing this the kunoichi in question groaned a bit before sighing and replying.

''Not much one of my agents needs a lift their boat goat trashed on their mission and they need it to come and pick them up.''

Hearing this the man sighed and smiled saying.

''Sure one ship coming up so you and blondie have good time last night?''

Blushing a bit the woman sighed then said to the man .

''No it was Sasame's turn last night I bowed out for her to have the night to her new boyfriend besides for this kind of relationship to work we need to share singularly.''

Hearing this the man raised an eyebrow but said.

''OK I don't' know why he can use the shadow clone jutsu so you shouldn't have to be alone and he could have twice as much fun.''

Said the man with a slight green and Ryuzetsu gave him a quick slap to the head.

''Naruto said he doesn't want to do that because he didn't' want us to think he didn't care enough to give us both our time with him alone. Especially since he only wants to do it when he's heading form the city for diplomacy or other reasons. Besides he wants to get to know us himself personally and that sort of requires you to talk face to face.''

Sighing the man said.

''The jutsu transfers memories though but whatever you're going to use it regardless and then you won't be as snippy now give this to my secretary and she will send the orders to the docks where a ship will pick them up.'' Said Mizuhura with Ryuzetsu saying back to him in a more down to earth tone.

''Yes yes I know thank you this is the first time one of my men have lost their ship thank you for your help and I think I'll bring up some more of the benefits of shadow clones that way Naruto will be less reluctant and we each can have him to sleep with at night.''

She said as she left the man gave slight snort and though with a smirk.

'Suuuure you will and not with multiple versions of him , right either way the boss will be happy they will be happy and she won't come down here to trade barbs as often especially when I've got all this damn paperwork! I really need to get Naruto to teach me that jutsu it'll cut down this shit quick.'

Mizuhura thought as he stamped the ordered got up and walked to his secretary and handed her the order which she nodded too before pressing a button which sent a buzzer signal to a horn In the mail posts office to send someone to collect the message.

Konohagakure-Forest of Death .

'You know in hindsight I really should have question coming into this place after signing a guilt free death waiver all those years ago.'

Thought Kiba Inuzuka to himself his clan which was made up of over fifty Inuzuka with them the clans numbers had totaled at around seventy five ; after the Leaf crush and had risen to about ninety since then. Kiba shuddered as he remembered the argument had between his mother and her brother n law his father's brother who had been adopted into the clan when both his brother and Kiba 's mother had gotten engaged. And even though he was older than most Inuzukas were at his age he was given the ninken of an Inuzuka who died and became his partner excelling greatly at the clan related Ninken arts.

The man had wanted to stay in the leaf village and several members of the clan agreed with him so his mother had gotten a friend of her daughter's Tessai Togeito to put the clan members under a genjutsu when they threatened to tell what they knew to the higher ups in particular the Ninja elders and the Hokage.

Needless to say they had layered the genjutsu and Tsume said that her son had ended up hit with the jyuken during practice with his teammates and promptly both puked and shit himself when the clan was having their meeting which was why they could not remember and she could because she had Hana's friend do it this way to avoid suspicion.

Needless to say the ninjas who had blacked out from the genjutsu didn't question their clan head and had gone on with their lives as usual , being completely unaware of the defection being planned out in the near future with the clan head and her loyal kinsmen leaving with her as the Inuzuka matriarch knew that if the clan lost their youngest members they would be in big trouble if the war got very heated and required their skills more in the field.

So for the good of her clan she took the clause all clans had put in when joining the leaf that if the Leaf unreasonably threatens the livelihood of the clans via their likely extinction the clans head could leave the village .Though the Third Hokage had tried to repeal such a law and Tobirama before him had been very against it wanting to add a clause for memory wipe Hashirama was firm in his keeping of it and sealed the seal which all clans swore their loyalty on a juinjutsu that passed down the generations with the clause of not revealing the leafs secrets to their enemies the five great Nations .

And though both Hokage's reluctantly accepted the emergence made it more of a moot point one which Tsume Inuzuka was going to exploit.

Needless to say Kiba was glad he had not chosen the opposite choice he did not like the idea of being thrown into a cannon fodder fight with the Jinchurikki of the eight tails holder and while some of the rookies believed Naruto was far too dangerous or a time bomb him and several others who he walked beside thought different.

''Yosh! Neji ! Kiba san! Soon we will be to our new home are you both as excited as I am to see this place!?"'

He asked and Neji said a bit annoyed as the other ninja made shhh sounds.

''Lee perhaps you should use a bit less energy we are trying to sneak out of the village and given what I know it will definitely be harder then we'd like .Especially given the fact that we have to carefully sneak out of the barrier otherwise the barrier team will recognize something is wrong.''

Said the Hyuga his head covered by a headband one which he longed to remove to show himself for who he was completely without shame or a headband to block his head. He sighed as he thought of his cousin Hinata and how she had refused to leave the village she had even gone as far to cal lit treason and that he was deserting the main branch who had done so much for him before trying to apologize to him .

Flashback –Hyuga compound.

'I didn't' mean to say that! I-I'm just so lost without Naruto kun!I can't do anything without him inspiring me!''

He had sighed and said to her.

''Hinata your my cousin and I love you but don't you think that maybe just maybe your affection for Naruto maybe a crush have you ever tried to tell him how you feel?''

''NO!I CAN NEVER TELL HIM!I-I m-m-mean Neji nii san it would be a very bad idea I will love him from afar until he is Hokage then I can be with him when he's a strong famous ninja who will bring prestige to the clan.''

Hearing that had shocked the Hyuga heirs cousin greatly and he had suspected more was at play however he knew the look on Hinata's face ,and what it meant so he had motioned to Tessai Togeito to work his genjutsu on the heiress who promptly fell asleep into a multitude of bad dreams. The Hyuga branch member hated to do this but he knew his cousin was going to tell having grown up alongside her .He knew the variations of her guilty looks and knew that one said that she had known something, she just had to tell her father and he knew that while the man cared for his family thanks to the Hyuga elders he would do his duty to the village second and the clan first .Knowing this and what happened when the Hyuga elders influenced his father's decision crying out over the Byakugan after the Cloud ambassador had been killed the young man did not wish to tempt fate and see what kind of reaction his uncle would have had .Which was why when the young Hyuga had finished he waited until it was time to leave to apply the seal to his head , in the middle of the night with everyone sleeping and was shocked when another scroll appeared .Then after unsealing it he had a large pile of similar seals in front of him within the bathroom sink.

Neji then knew what the mysterious one who had arranged the migration from the leaf was offering to his branch clan members and found the nearest one he knew wanted to overthrow the shackles of the Hyuga clan his cousin Kokuro who then began to gather every branch member save a scant few more loyal to the main branch and the mass unsealing had begun and not long after the clan had come to the forest of death to escape.

End Flashback.

Hearing this Lee sheepishly bowed then said.

''Sorry Neji I did not think that through but Yosh! It is a shame Tenten and Guy sensei would not understand neither would the others I had expected them to be more understanding.''

Hearing this the Hyuga sighed and Kiba frowned while Akamaru growled a little. The Inuzuka then replied to his friend in a rough tone of voice detailing his frustration.

''What did you expect Lee I mean you me and Neji are some of the ones Naruto's helped out a lot I didn't forget how Naruto helped me with Akamaru when he went out of control and how good a friend he's been. I mean I wasn't exactly the smartest in class but Naruto tried his best to get the Third Hokage of all people to help me! And he's always done right by others but the village is selfish man I mean they wanted to throw kids the same age as we were in the academy and some younger against a Jinchurikki man you remember how we heard about Naruto having a strange red chakra I know my mom told me about it when I asked her stating the Third Hokage made a law which after his death the council tried to repeal about talking about Naruto's burden she didn't' tell me outright said I had to figure it out but when I went to the library. Hey ! Don't look at me like that I had to know I found out the Kyubbi the giant Nine tailed fox and other tailed beasts have it I was shocked but Naruto was keeping us alive I went back to her and she said what did I think I knew about sealing and the fourth was an expert in it so I said he probably shoved the fox into Naruto's chakra coils to choke it and keep it there mom laughed p a storm but said I was very close to being right and properly explained the basics of sealing she learned from her own Jonin sensei when it came to chakra.''

Hearing this Lee said to him .

''Yosh! Your mother truly burns with the flames of Youth! I had asked Guy sensei and his response was most unfortunate he said Naruto's flames of youth burn bright but are dangerous he spoke with great sadness and some anger when he did. I think he does not like Naruto's tenant but has few problems with him he is umm indifferent you would say.''

Neji sighed and added on to the statement.

''And Tenten is flat out nervous ,scared and sees Naruto as a potential threat because of the Akatsuki chasing him she's always been the one to focus on the most danger.''

Neji said while Kiba snorted and said to them.

''Sounds like fear I know her favorite uncle died in the Kyubbi attack as well as her mother I think she just likes Naruto as a person but doesn't want to be his friend you know I think she honestly sees it as a business thing from what you say meaning she's got no problem with the village if it says throw Naruto at someone twice his age and strength who happens to be a Jonin.''

The Inuzuka said rolling his eyes and both former members of Team Guy winced as she did say something to that affect when she wondered why the blonde struggled so much in the Chunnin exams with that kind of power.

Lee hearing this said.

''It is most said Tenten and Guy sensei's flames of youth have dampened but I do not doubt that where we go there will be youthful people for us to live with and start anew!"'

The taijutsu using ninja said with a nice guy smile and Kiba laughed while Neji smiled and the Inuzuka said.

''Mom's with the clan further ahead but damn I've got to say Lee I think she'd like having you as her student maybe even an apprentice she knows a few things about the strong fist and she could teach you about some other fighting styles she knows.''

Kiba added and the bowl haired ninja felt his happiness increase tenfold then a ninja ahead of them stopped the group at a clearing where several groups of ninja were already gathered. The younger ninja of the rookie twelve noticed that

The Inuzuka Clan head as well as Kurama Clan head was standing talking to a branch member Neji knew to be his cousin Koseki with Anko Mitarashi and Iruka Umino also with them. While many of the civilian and several Tokubetsu Jonin some Jonin and more numerous Chunnin and genin with the most being the civilians who were a part of the groups getting ready to depart.

Anko Mitarashi turned her group clearly done and said.

'"All right everyone! Boys and Girls were getting ready to depart for all the civilians were going to have to seal you or put you In the equivalent of a house sized suit case in these scrolls there are some heaters battery powered ones so you should be fine until we get to the boats which will take about two hours. Once were there we'll release all of you and make our way to our destination if you got any questions just ask one of your group leaders for the answers we leave in a few minutes after everyone sealed alright!?''

The crowd responded positively and the ninjas sighed as the group leaders began to pass out scrolls and the civilians began to be laid down one at a time and sealed not the scrolls it would be a bit hectic as the nervousness of being out in the forest with time burning was strong. However the plan should have been full proof though Iruka felt he had to ask.

''Do you think all the elemental clones and shadow clones will be enough to throw off the barriers?''

Sighing the Kurama clan head answered first.

''We can only hope Iruka san this plan has been well thought out clearly whoever has offered us this chance has a very intricate way of thinking.''

Tsume Inuzuka responded to what he said with her own statement.

''if it doesn't we'll know when the Anbu come with several Jonin and the Hokage if they figure it out.''

Nodding Iruka gulped at the prospect while the Hyuga Branch leader Kokuro looked resolved and said.

''Then we will fight them off and make it to freedom through fighting for it both me and my kin are no longer caged birds and we will not become such again after we have just received our freedom tonight!''

Many Hyuga cheered lightly catching themselves before they revealed themselves while several other ninja gave their own modest sounds of agreement. It was liberty or death in the minds of many of the ninja as they did not want to be thrown to the wolves of Stone and Clouds best just to spitefully kill their Jinchurikki in a certain death mission looking for trouble rather than defending and countering it.

It was sentiment that the leader of these groups couldn't help both echo and respect from them.
