Disclaimer: I'm sure that as you have known I don't own the real Naruto story, whether it is anime or manga, but I do own this fan version story of Naruto.

Author's Note: I have read Half Blood Prince. I got it from my boarding house's friend. She downloaded it from internet. I have finished all chapters after reading it for hours for a couple of time (I decided not to read all of them at once because my eyes hurts after staring to the computer screen after hours of reading, playing game, and writing) And I felt sleepy and somehow I was reluctant to read the parts where there are HarryGinny. Obviously I'm no fan of that pairing though I don't have anything against Ginny herself. I just don't like HarryGinny pairing for some reasons I won't indulge here.

I have looked into computer so long that my eyes, and legs hurt. And it was when I was having this headache when I read Half Blood Prince. Sigh! Anyway I should stop saying about Harry because it is Naruto fanfiction…

Chapter Thirteen

Black winged birds with bone tails were flying on the dark red sky. Strong winds ruffled their black feathers and red eyes were scanning the ground as the birds looked for their unfortunate preys. It was the usual occurrence in the demon realm. But a crackling dark portal suddenly opened up in the sky, making the demon birds squawked and flew away from what seemed like a black hole.

From the portal a figure emerged and quickly fell down to the ground below. Blonde hair was blown by the wind as he plunged into what appeared to be his would-be-death at the end of the jagged rocks below. Bright blue eyes tinted by silver inspected the ground below, unreadable expression was etched on the figure's face, not really caring that he would plummet and crash with the sharp rocks jutting from the ground in the grass field soon, if he didn't do anything about it.

The figure waited until 20 meter above the ground before he somehow controlled the movement of the air around him. Wind picked up from the ground and circled him harshly, even though in the center of what looked like to be a small tornado was calm. As the man neared the surface of the ground, the wind left his body to make a pincushion for his descend. The tip of one of the black shinobi sandals touched the grassy ground gently, followed by the other. The wind died down, leaving the figure stood on the field alone undisturbed without any indication that he had just fallen down hundred meters from the sky above.

We're in Shibakusa Field. It's one of the few grassy fields in demon realm. You see that jagged rocks that looked like animal fangs sprout from the ground? Naruto looked around him and nodded. It differs this field from the other grassy fields. Those rocks are used by E-class demon bird, Sairei, the black birds you see up in the sky, for breeding. If you look the rocks closer, you'll be able to see numerous holes on the rocks. It was dug by the demon birds with their strong beaks. They use the holes to lay their blackish egg. Mind you even if they are weak in comparison than D-class demon, if they attack together, it is quite a nuisance even for a powerful demon like me, though they will be a mere annoyance to me just like flies with humans. They are swift and air is their home and of course like most demons in this realm, they are carnivores though they prefer small preys. Thankfully they were obviously scared away by the portal. We should leave this field soon, no reason taking risk being attacked by these birds for disturbing their nest of if they think you'll be a fine meal.

/Uh…where to/ Naruto asked not knowing the direction of Kielles' mountain, Hikoushu, from this place.

We're on the North East side of Hikoushu. Go to South West! Kyuubi commanded. It shouldn't be long with your current speed and the short distance. The leader of Soragakure nodded.

A while later

Why hello, little one. You're back The demon lady over sharn'gotti clan greeted Naruto. She has fired away to the border of her territory when she felt her friend's presence just as her friend's vessel passed the detection shield.

"Hello, Kielle-san," Naruto smiled eagerly. One of the very few things he missed being away from demon realm was Kielle and he always looked forward to meet her. He had brought his children once to meet the great demon and he could tell that they were awed by her. Too bad he couldn't bring his wife because even with the fox seal on her arm, she wouldn't be able to stand for over 10 hours in this realm, so Naruto didn't see the point to bring her when they could very well end on places days away from Kielle's location.

She has met with some E and D-class demons on some trials held in demon realm to test Soragakure's jounin though, just like many other shinobis in Soragakure did in their trials. His children in the other hand, could stay in demon realm for 3 weeks, though they never stayed in this realm over a week because Naruto didn't want them to stay in this realm alone while he had to go back to the third realm to govern his village (time in demon realm equal time in shinobi realm, which mean since 1 year in shinobi realm equals 20 years of third realm time, it is the same with demon realm timeline) and since Naruto is the leader of Sora he couldn't leave them for more than half a year unsupervised) "Yes, I'm back and I have news for you," the blonde man grinned.

And what is that exactly? The she-bird demon peered curiously.

"Soragakure will be officially founded soon!" The two chatted for hours before Naruto called it off and told her that he needed more sharn'gotti eggs and a few adults, shusekis and small or medium sized hikousekis. The huge bird complied. She told him that she had expected it and had prepared for his requests long before he asked it. "By the way, is there anything interesting going on demon realm while I wasn't here?"

Well, not really. It's the usual bloodsheds among the demons…oh yes, I almost forgot, Kirai has become more obnoxious than ever, demanding me to bow down before him because as Soramaru's replacement, I ought to obey him. The nerve of that piece of scum! He seemed to think that I was Soramaru's servant. I roasted his butt, he won't be able to sit for months to come she said cheekily, her silver eyes glinted as she remembered the event as clear as day.

"Well, ouch!" Naruto's hand unconsciously rubbed his bottom.

Glad to hear that Kyuubi piped in. If only I can get back my body back, I will kick his butt and send his remains to the fields where scavenger demons are in abundance. I'm sure they will appreciate to get more meals. The three were imagining hundreds of D or E-class demons clamoring Kirai's remains and grinned happily as they laughed together.

Hours later, Naruto exited the realm and entered the third realm. He noticed that he was only 30 minutes at tops from his village near Tenshu nest, a native animal in this realm. He was lucky that he didn't drop on top of the nest, because if it did it would be a trouble and he really didn't want to fight them if it wasn't necessary. The only times Sky shinobis hunted Tenshu were when they needed their body parts for various medicines.

Naruto returned to the sky village in the air above via riding a sharn'gotti. He deposited the smaller hikouseki around the flying main island. The flying stones settled on the air just like the others that were already there. He let the adult demon birds flew around the village. They would undoubtly will make their nests on the smaller hikousekis later when they were tired flying. Passing Kuroda Haijin on his way, a 25 years old man with brown hair and amber eyes, one of the men in charge of taking care sharn'gotti eggs and newborns, Naruto gave him the eggs to be stored on the safe house to be taken care of.

Naruto looked up when he saw shadow looming over him. Smiling, the man looked up to see a smaller version of Kielle hovering above him. It was one of Kielle's own children, Sheil're, a male sharn'gotti. Sheil're had a sense of adventure much more than his brother and sisters and asked Kielle to be allowed to join Naruto. The demon lady agreed after a fair bit of pleadings (and being shown puppy eyes numerous times). Since he was much stronger than normal sharn'gotti, it was harder for Soramaru to bring him out of demon realm safely. It was a good thing that they brought him to third realm instead of shinobi realm, because frankly the ninetails doubted that he could pull him off in one piece even with his power as one of the 9 chosen demons that had power to pass through the barrier to shinobi realm.

Naruto had to give the bird a third of his blood so he could pass to third realm though and the shinobi was a bit dizzy for some time until kyuubi managed to restore his blood by speeding the blood creating process.

Nowadays, Sheil're passed his time hunting over the creatures roaming in third realm (AN: I seriously need to rename 'third realm' into something cooler, easier and faster to say) and acted as the leader of the sharn'gotti group in this realm.

Naruto looked into the frosty crystalline blue eyes that differed Sheil're from Kielle, beside their size difference of course. "Hello, Sheil're, this is a good day, isn't it?"

Indeed it is. So you have returned from demon realm, how's mother?

"Same as usual, though she was a bit giddy these days because she has just roasted Kirai's butt when he annoyed her so much."

Oh, now that's good news. Too bad I can't see it for myself, I wouldn't mind to assist a thing or two. Your replacement is really annoying as hell, Soramaru-san.

You don't need to tell me about that, the demon lord sniffed indignantly. I'm still a bit annoyed over the fact the clan has decided to replace me with that bloke! I mean, come on, I know that his power is above average, mind you he's nothing compared to me, Naruto nodded in reassurance, followed by Sheil're. But with his loose mouth he'll end up angering many other demon lords that someday one or more than one demon lord feels enough is enough and decide to bring war to fox clan's doorstep because of his stupidity.

I take it, the fox clan doesn't know that you are alive yet?

Oh, the clan knows I'm alive. Afterall if I was dead, there would be another demon with the power to cross the barrier. But they have chosen Kirai as my replacement by then. As you know, a demon lord seat is never vacant for over 5 years, so they have to pick someone (somefox?) as their new leader.

It was unfortunate…

Yes, it is

"By the way, Sheil're, will you up to it when we cross over to shinobi realm?" the demon bird paled. It was bad enough when they crossed over from demon realm to third realm in the first time and now he had to remind him about it?

Er…not really

Don't worry, it won't be as bad as the first time. You have Naruto's blood on your vein and you will have my protection.

Really? The demon bird perked up.

Yes, Naruto and Soramaru could hear Sheil're sighed in relief.

Thanks for the small favour. I have a bad case of headache and stomachache for a week when we pass the barrier to this realm

Naruto chuckled before he left Kielle's son and walked toward Raguna tower. The tower was the home of Weapon and Technology Department and it was located in the shinobi complex.

"Where is Yugo?" he asked a man in the receptionist desk.

"He's inside his office, Naruto-sama," the brown haired man smiled as he saw the leader of Sky in front of him. Naruto nodded and went upstairs. He passed busy engineers on his way and entered Yugo's office, but found Yugo wasn't there. Rolling his eyes, he closed the door and walked toward the room he was sure that Yugo was in.

First Lab. It was the lab used by the head of Weapon and Technology Development Department to test new gadgets.

He knocked the door twice before entering. There in the corner of the room was Yugo, wearing a dark blue visor, covering his eyes. Naruto's wife's cousin looked up from the gadget he was working on. He tapped something on his right ear and the visor disappeared.

Naruto threw a small scroll which was caught deftly by the younger shinobi. The Head Engineer eyed the scroll on his hand.

"That's the shuseki stones I promised you," Naruto said as he walked toward him. Yugo nodded as he put the scroll on his desk. "So, any interesting news?"

Yugo nodded before he opened one of his drawers. He took a small gadget and handed it to his superior. "New and improved Ear Clip. I have given the same to the others. Range is 20 km, beyond that the sound will be harder to be distinguished," Naruto put the Ear Clip on his left ear. Tapping it twice, he concentrated on Hyouga. The fox seal on his left arm warmed for a moment.

"Yo, Hyouga," Naruto spoke cheerfully. "Yes, it's me, Naruto," he paused. "No, it's nothing. I just tested Yugo's improved gadget. Where are you?" pause. "Kaishu Field? What are you doing there?" pause. "Shiho asked you to hunt them? Oh, okay. Naruto's out," he tapped the Ear Clip twice again. "Good work, Yugo. Can I have this?" the man nodded. "Thanks. See you," Naruto exited the lab, leaving him alone to work alone once again.

5 days after Sandaime dispatched Kakashi's and Gai's team

"So, Wave country is oppressed by Gatou?" Tenten asked as she twirled her kunai. A scowl was plastered on her face.

"Yes, and we don't have enough money to pay for B-rank mission. Even our daimyou didn't have money," the bridge builder spoke dejectedly. "Please you have to help us! My daughter and grandchild will cry if I die," he tried a guilt trip method.

Kakashi and Gai stared at each other in silence. They wondered if there was some connection about Gatou and Sky group. Neji eyed the 2 jounins carefully, feeling that there was something they left out. The silver haired jounin turned to the pleading old man with a fake sigh.

"Alright, we'll continue this mission," Tazuna's face brightened. "But when the bridge is finished you have to pay for B-rank mission."

"Yes, yes, of course," Tazuna said hastily, afraid that they would change their mind.

The group continued their journey and in a day they arrived at the spot where a fisherman was supposedly to smuggle them to Wave country.

With Naruto,co

"Alright guys, this is the moment we have waited for so long!" Naruto stood at the center of the main hikouseki, an oracle. There inside the oracle was an unknown black metal basin with silvery liquid on it.

All Head of Departments were circling him, some were obviously showing giddiness, while the others kept their faces impassice, though Naruto knew that all of them have waited for this. His family stood behind him, supporting him. Outside the oracle, more than a thousand of his people stood, waiting him to perform the seal ritual in silent excitement, even if it was nighttime.

Naruto slitted his wrist open with a black stiletto made from the same substance like the basin. The red shuseki in the center of the blade, creating a line that divided the black metal into 2 parts and the other oval stone on its hilt were glowing as the silvery red blood poured on it. Silver runes of seal on the stiletto glowed unearthly. A drop of Soramaru's vessel's blood on the liquid made the whole content of metal basin glowed. Black runes seals formed a circle on the stone basin. The process continued until the whole floor, 3 meters around the basin, was full of black runes. A red shape emerged from the liquid slowly as it floated over the liquid and then hovered above the basin, in front of Naruto's chest. It was revealed that the shape was actually a 30 cm shuseki ball. Inside the red transparent ball, lay one of Kielle's burning feathers.

"Hikouseki's navigator," Naruto's youngest son breathed in awe.

"Here we go," Naruto breathed as everyone's fox seal glowed. The shuseki crystals around the oracle lit up. The ground shook a bit as each of shuseki tower on Main Island and the other big islands glowed, illuminating the dark sky with its exotic red light. Everyone held their breath.

Kyuubi worked on his part as he sent his power through Naruto. Red chakra flowed freely, dancing around the leader of Soragakure. Silver circle runes appeared on the sky above as if an invisible hand writing it. The sharn'gotti kept their beaks close as they watched it warily. They nestled on the smaller hikouseki, none of them flew in the sky. A small dark portal formed on the center of the rune circle before it enlarged until it enveloped the whole sky above Soragakure.

Naruto swallowed. He had to pour all of his concentration so they would end up above Sangoshou Island. They have planted a shuseki tower there to direct their destination. Naruto didn't know why he could enter shinobi realm on the right place if he concentrated enough, but he still wasn't able to do the same with demon realm. Yugo suggested to him that it was due to the demon realm had more chaotic energy than shinobi realm, but he couldn't give a proof, so Naruto (and the others) had to hold their judgements until someone could prove the theory.

Naruto smeared the blood on his now healed wrist on the navigator. The feather's burning flame covered the whole ball and it hovered down to touch the silvery liquid below. The whitish blue flame spread on the liquid making it look like a brightly lit up torch.

Naruto closed his eyes and touched the burning ball without a flinch. The ground shook harder before it stopped shaking completely, but all people could feel that the hikousekis were moving into the dark portal above. Most of the adults had their shares of realm jumping for their trials, but some children were frightened and had to be reassured by their parents.

The dark portal enveloped the whole Soragakure and it blinked out of existence, taking the village with it.

Wave country

Kimimaro and Ginji stared at the sky above. The hyper reddish orange haired shinobi was barely able to conceal his excitement. Behind them 3 dozens of their comrades held their breathes as they felt their fox seals glowed in the dark. They looked up to the sky and noticed a faint trace of silver circle appeared on the sky for a second before it was replaced by a dark hole that seemed to suck out everything in the sky. Birds were squawking in fear and surprise as they flew away from their nests in the forest.

The Sky shinobi shivered in excitement as they felt Kyuubi's chakra filled the whole sky. They were sure that any chakra sensitive or battle-hardened shinobi in Gatou's base in Koori Island would notice the malicious yet comforting chakra (only for Sky shinobi).

All Sky shinobis put their night binoculars close to their eyes. Some of them even took a snapshot using their cameras for documenter.

They could see the bottom of one of the huge sized hikouseki emerged from the portal followed by countless other floating rocks.

"Hey, that's Hiyokuseki!" one of the shinobi pointed out at the first incoming hikouseki.

Hiyokuseki was one of the hovering islands on Soragakure. It was used for farming. It was one of their 5 agricultural floating islands that sustained Sky citizens' daily food.

"Yes, and that's Shuyouseki!" another shinobi pointed out excitedly at the last incoming hikouseki. The main island floating above the rest of medium to big sized hikousekis. Smaller floating rocks used by sharn'gotti littered around them.

"Do you know how Naruto-sama will hide Soragakure from prying eyes? Not that I complain, but everyone will see our village clearly in the sky in plain daylight and we won't be a hidden village if Sky village is easily seen by anyone," Kazeru Ginji asked his companion. "Huh? What the?" the wild tempered shinobi pressed the binocular to his blue eyes.

Thanks to their binoculars every Sky shinobi could see the cloud started to form around Soragakure. They watched slack-jawed as in 5 minutes the whole sky around their village was enveloped by thick clouds.

"That's your answer," Kimimaro replied at last, as he put down his black binocular with a smile.

"…Hell yeah," Ginji murmured in awe.

In the Wave country, an utterly defeated Zabuza, a concerned Haku, a chakra exhausted Kakashi, Gai, Hanabi (AN: she's Hinata's sister incase you don't know), Neji, and Sasuke went alert when they felt the massive chakra a moment ago before it completely disappeared. All of them were wary and none of them got any good sleep that night.

The Sky citizens spent their night partying like crazy.

That night, no one hasn't yet realized that the balance of power in the shinobi realm has shifted.

TBC…

At least chap 13 is over. I have difficulties writing the ritual part.

About Hanabi, I make her as part of team 7. Since Naruto isn't in Konoha, Hinata doesn't have someone to courage her and she succumbs to her shyness more than canon (Sorry for Hinata fans out there). The main family is disappointed and planning to make Hanabi as the heir.

Why did I make Naruto has children?

Because I need someone to be the focus point in chuunin exam and I can't have Naruto do it since he's not a genin and thus won't be able to join the exam. (Yes, it's a spoiler that Soragakure will obviously enter chuunin exam). Beside since Shugo resembles Naruto very much it will create a confusion and suspicion among Konoha shinobi rank. And won't it be interesting to know their reaction to his existence?

Review, please!
